hi, i'm daniel. i'm a 15-year-old high school junior. in my free time, i hack billion dollar companies and build cool stuff.

3 months ago, I discovered a unique 0-click deanonymization attack that allows an attacker to grab the location of any target within a 250 mile radius. With a vulnerable app installed on a target's phone (or as a background application on their laptop), an attacker can send a malicious payload and deanonymize you within seconds--and you wouldn't even know.

I'm publishing this writeup and research as a warning, especially for journalists, activists, and hackers, about this type of undetectable attack. Hundreds of applications are vulnerable, including some of the most popular apps in the world: Signal, Discord, Twitter/X, and others. Here's how it works:

Cloudflare

By the numbers, Cloudflare is easily the most popular CDN on the market. It beats out competitors such as Sucuri, Amazon CloudFront, Akamai, and Fastly. In 2019, a major Cloudflare outage k

Hyper-converged High Available Homelab with Proxmox

This is me documenting my journey moving my Homelab from a Qnap NAS and a Single host Proxmox server to a Hyper-converged multi-node Proxmox Cluster.

The reason to document it here is twofold:

Information often it scattered 'all over the place', but never 100% applicable to the setup I have.
To remember 'what the fuck' did I do some months ago.
Writing it for 'a public' forces me to think it all through again and make sure it's correct.

It's written 'first to scratch my own itch' but hopefully it benefits others too, or even better, that others improve upon my implementations. Feel free to comment or share improvements and insights!

Mount Volumes into Proxmox VMs with Virtio-fs

Part of collection: Hyper-converged Homelab with Proxmox

15-04-2025: Seems Proxmox added this now to the GUI; see Using VirtioFS backed by CephFS for bind mounts how to use it.

Virtio-fs is a shared file system that lets virtual machines access a directory tree on the host. Unlike existing approaches, it is designed to offer local file system semantics and performance. The new virtiofsd-rs Rust daemon Proxmox 8 uses, is receiving the most attention for new feature development.

Performance is very good (while testing, almost the same as on the Proxmox host)

I've been writing Rust full-time with a small team for over a year now. Throughout, I've lamented the lack of clear best practices around defining error types. One day, I'd love to write up my journey and enumerate the various strategies I've both seen and tried. Today is not that day.

Today, I want to reply to a blog post that almost perfectly summarised my current practice.

Go read it; I'll wait!

Nvim Events

Nvim recognizes the following events. Names are case-insensitive.

BufAdd

Just after creating a new buffer which is
added to the buffer list, or adding a buffer

Since we're dealing with simpler AV1 encoding, that does mean we'll be eskewing aomenc-av1, since it requires 2-pass encoding to be able to take advantage of it, and I use it externally since I have access to a special build.

Now, let's get on with the simple guide.

You'll first need to be reasonably competent with command line builds or use a recent up to date ffmpeg GUI with support for SVT-AV1.

As such, I would recommend getting a master git ffmpeg build for the operating system of your choice right here:

	---@param lhs string
	---@param rhs string\|function

	---@param mode? string\|string[]
	local function keymap(lhs, rhs, opts, mode)
	opts = type(opts) == 'string' and { desc = opts }
	or vim.tbl_extend('error', opts --[[@as table]], { buffer = bufnr })
	mode = mode or 'n'
	vim.keymap.set(mode, lhs, rhs, opts)


	type Set struct {
	list map[int]struct{} //empty structs occupy 0 memory
	}

	func (s *Set) Has(v int) bool {
	_, ok := s.list[v]
	return ok
