@nestsupport it was short cycling the furnace until I disconnected the Y1 wire. Luckily caught it early enough that only a few pipes froze.

-5° outside and my air conditioner wiring prevents @nest from turning the heater on. Also, whiskey + late night electrical == yolo

This statement is the source of both great consternation and enjoyable reversing

I am somewhat frightened by how well Amazon knows me

@m0nk_dot but but vacation is hard when a Japanese Harry Potter emoji makes magic at me

[Charles Holmes @afrocheese]

@m0nk_dot ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Charles Holmes @afrocheese]

@m0nk_dot I guess my afternoon is going to involve a fairly long drive

When I look at obfuscated code, I feel sad. When I look at non-obfuscated code, I feel sadder.

@jduck One from the DSO of interest and one from a dependent DSO. Used the dlopen handle but RTLD_NEXT would have done the trick too.

[Charles Holmes @afrocheese]

@jduck I had a different issue actually. If dlsym fails to find the function, it finds the address of the function pointer instead.

[Charles Holmes @afrocheese]

TIL: this can do unexpected things
int (*printf)(const char * fmt, …) = 0;
printf = dlsym(RTLD_DEFAULT, “printf”);
printf(“hello world\n”);

Netflix and chili needs to be a thing.

[Charles Holmes @afrocheese]

@TheDukeZip sign me up if another is available

[Charles Holmes @afrocheese]

Realizing that this was a thing has wasted about an hour of my life…

[Charles Holmes @afrocheese]

I broke @m0nk_dot so hard today that he ran out of sarcasm.

Observed steps of “software development”…

1. My task is functional
2. Redo entire task to be functional and be good code
3. Add comments
