@mutemonkey Tom is correct, that’s awesome! Though I’m disappointed to find out that molten hot lava is not the ideal cooking medium ☹️

@nedwin Amaaaazing, so goooood! What a crazy saga.

@JamesHenstridge @wabzqem @ServiceNSW @yaakov_h @VTeagueAus I will give some credit on the basis that it attempts to avoid the potential “my server/master private key was leaked” issue, however, given the QR codes currently rotate every 60s it seems rather pointless (ie: just rotate the master key).

[Fenn @fennb]

@jxeeno @COVID19NearMeAU I’m so glad you did this! I’d been playing with some of the data/struggling to find time to do something similar, so VERY happy to see it exists!

[Richard Nelson @wabzqem]

Write up on @ServiceNSW’s Digital Driver Licence QR codes. I go through QR code generation, bypass of cert pinning, jailbreak and tampering mechanisms. There’s private key extraction and AES decryption 🎉. Thanks to @fennb @yaakov_h @VTeagueAus as well.

@wabzqem Hah, love this. I guess the government can't afford the cost of developing the extra ~90 odd lines of code. It's not like the alternative is so bad, the lockdowns only cost $19M/hour anyway...

[Vanessa Teague @VTeagueAus]

Look @GregHuntMP - Richard @wabzqem has already written the code for generating and signing verifiable vaccine certs. All Aus gov needs to do is generate a keypair and sign the data. Please. It's cheap and it's simple and it will let us prove we've been vaccinated.

This is what our vaccination certs should be like - verifiable. This video shows me using the Swiss verification app verifying my EU compat, signed QR code containing my data. I’ve made a tool to generate your own, using your real myGov login:

@wabzqem Absolutely. Even if police can do it, how are retail venue operators supposed to? Also, having an app that could look up IHI numbers (rather than validate digital signatures) is a security risk in and of itself :|

[Fenn @fennb]

@JennyMikakos Love your work! I'm wondering if DHHS has been considering some of the emerging "2nd generation" contact tracing approaches such as: https://t.co/0z9M5vQcbe

Would something like this perhaps help save some lives in Vic?

[Fenn @fennb]

@polvi Congrats, Alex, you guys totally earned every bit of it. Loving what you guys have been up to!

@CoinbaseSupport My account has been locked due to me suddenly "being in North Korea", which is extremely untrue. No response from support.

@lenovo Miix buyers beware, there's some serious issues with the Miix 700, see this 58 post, unacknowledged thread: https://t.co/YIMHntujOm

@geggog they missed all the best MEAT on stick options! Go to a yakitori bar and then ask the hard questions I say!

[Fenn @fennb]

@AmericanAir I do. I've had no less than 6 back-to-back mistakes made on my trip so far (flown 1 segment of 3).Where should I send feedback?

[Fenn @fennb]

@AmericanAir ...which was for being "the last to check in", which was only as I was checked in as SOMEBODY ELSE & had to go back to reticket

[Fenn @fennb]

@AmericanAir This was about ~30 minutes prior to me being involuntarily bumped from this flight for a wonderful reason (see next tweet)

[Fenn @fennb]

@AmericanAir rebooking is sorted. Enjoy the photo of the door being removed just prior to my near decapitation:

[Fenn @fennb]

@AmericanAir Today I was checked in as another pax, almost hit by a detached door inside the cabin then bumped/delayed for 14hrs. Not ideal.

@mat_kelcey check out seeedstudio- they'll do pcb manufacture AND assembly for as little as 5 pieces for a shockingly low price.
