Iโm not sure you guys understand what just happened in Nigeria.
Over 30 young boys were arrested in Niger and locked in an overcrowded, unventilated cell with extreme heat by @official_NSCDC. They reportedly banged on the door and were ignored.
They were all found dead. Suffocated to dรจath. By NSCDC. ๐
Before my upcoming product lunch, this is for Starlink users on my TL who, like me, hate being restricted to just the Starlink mobile app.
I built an open-source Starlink desktop app for macOS, Windows and browsers to monitor the performance and health of your Starlink.
Backstory: I've been a Starlink user for over 3 years now, and I've greatly enjoyed having a reliable network, especially since I'm in an area with terrible internet.
But as someone who spends most of my time on my MacBook, I've always had to reach for my phone whenever I want to see what's going on with my Starlink, and it bites more when my phone is in a different room.
So, about 2 weeks ago, I decided to just build myself a native desktop app that does most of what the mobile app does, plus some extra features I'd always wanted. I've spent the last 2 weeks building and iterating on it to the point where I use it daily.
It's been such a wonderful experience that I think it's selfish of me to keep it to myself. I know many Starlink users and community members would love it as much as I do, so I decided to open-source it.
So what do you get from Dishylink?
Live status โ throughput, latency, obstruction and hardware health.
Dish alignment โ target rotation and tilt, with the exact nudge in degrees when the dish is off.
Speed test โ download, upload and latency through Starlink to Cloudflare.
Satellite tracking and obstruction map โ 3D satellite constellation overhead, and a time-lapse of what's blocking your view of the sky + which satellite your dish is connected to.
Network & Nodes โ see which client devices are connected to your network and their data usage activity.
Data usage โ every byte through the dish, split by download and upload, with per-client device granular data usage.
Power usage โ real-time draw plus historical energy totals so you can get an idea of what your dish consumes daily, weekly or monthly.
Latency analytics โ whether the lag is Starlink or your own router.
Alerts and event log โ raised when the dish or router stops answering, overheats or hits weather, and cleared once it passes.
Controls โ snow melt, sleep schedule, update window and reboots on supported firmware.
Platforms โ macOS, Windows, and Browser extension alternatives for Chrome, Edge, and Firefox.
Privacy: no account, no backend, no analytics. Dishylink reads your hardware over your own network and keeps what it records in your system. Nothing is collected by me, or any third-party service (there's none), and the source code is available to review.
I know I could make a decent amount by adding a paywall, since I think it's actually worth every buck, as you'd come to see. But I won't be doing that; my only joy would be seeing it serve the community and probably grow into more than what it is right now.

I received this DM from a concerned girlfriend and I feel an obligation to share.
If you are able to help or weigh in, please do.
If you can't, please share on your timeline for anyone who is able to. ๐
Hi @hackthebox_eu
Good afternoon
I'm a Penetration Tester with over 2+ years of professional experience with certifications like CEH, CNSP, LPT and CRTA.
I'm interested in taking the CPTS certification path, please how many likes or retweets for a CPTS Voucher?๐ฅบ
Had an interview with a โcryptoโ recruiter. We talked for about 40 minutes, and then they asked me to look at some code.
Their first instruction was to clone the repo. I didnโt. They seemed surprised, so I told them I wanted a moment to check whether it was safe first.
I ran a quick analysis with Claude.
Turns out the code had a backdoor. It would copy my environment variables and send them to a remote server.
The recruiter went speechless and ended the call pretty quickly.
Be careful who you talk to. Scammers are real.
From Top CTF team to Top Agency
I've been lucky enough to thrive in a number of fields, mainly Cybersecurity but a few adjacent ones as well. And my edge has always been creative problem solving, taking inspiration from one field to solve problems in another.
And I've realized over the years that whatever job I'm working only ever requires a slice of my capabilities despite accessing all my knowledge so I've been working on building something that encapsulates every skill I've ever acquired with the primary goal of research and execution.
I'm excited to announce Maxhed (@M4xHedRum), a research agency with a focus on AI, Blockchain and CyberSecurity. There has never been a better time to just do things and there's a lotta things to be done.
I know weโre all emotional, but we canโt crowdfund our way out of a dying economy. There are thousands of people like him who wonโt get this kind of help. The real change is in 2027. We have to vote out the party that has impoverished the country
Update!!
If an airline messes (delays, misplaces, damages) your luggage, donโt shout, donโt panic, simply find the nearest N.C.A.A office at the airport and file a complain.
Theyโll pay for damages, compensate delay and theyโll send your luggage to your doorstep for free.
