Getting the firmware of a VTech/LeapFrog LeapStart/Magibook
This is a very small blog post about my first reverse engineering project, in which I don’t really reverse engineer anything yet, but I am just getting started! A family member asked me to add additional book data to the LeapStart he bought for his son, this is the starting point here. ↫ leloubil’s blog We’ve all seen toy, child-focused computers like these, and I always find them deeply fascinating.

In-reply-to » This weekend (as some of you may now) I accidently nuke this Pod's entire data volume 🤦‍♂️ What a disastrous incident 🤣 I decided instead of trying to restore from a 4-month old backup (we'll get into why I hadn't been taking backups consistently later), that we'd start a fresh! 😅 Spring clean! 🧼 -- Anyway... One of the things I realised was I was missing a very critical Safety Controls in my own ways of working... I've now rectified this...

So I re-write this shell alias that I used all the time alias dkv="docker rm" to be a much safer shell function:

dkv() {
  if [[ "$1" == "rm" && -n "$2" ]]; then
    read -r -p "Are you sure you want to delete volume '$2'? [Y/n] " confirm
    confirm=${confirm:-Y}
    if [[ "$confirm" =~ ^[Yy]$ ]]; then
      # Disable history
      set +o history

      # Delete the volume
      docker volume rm "$2"

      # Re-enable history
      set -o history
    else
      echo "Aborted."
    fi
  else
    docker volume "$@"
  fi
}

10 Scientists Convicted of Serious Crimes
“Follow the science” and “trust the science” have become mantras of late. Science is, after all, typically regarded as being unbiased, producing reliable knowledge based on empirical methods that are independent of sociopolitical and economic influences, falsifiable, and replicable. The problem is that science’s accuracy and reliability depend on the ethics of the scientists who […]

** Muddy weeknotes **
Some RSS exclusive week notes:

  • I finished reading Emily St. James’ Woodworking
  • I started reading Sally Rooney’s Intermezzo
  • I took a break from re-watching Frieren for the third time
  • I used that break to start watching The Apothecary Diaries, which isn’t at all what I assumed it was. It is more a detective show than anything else, so far, and I dig it
  • I started to play Citizen Sleeper
  • I cleaned so much, yet the house remains not clean
  • It has stopped snowing (for now), we are now solidly in … ⌘ Read more

** leibovitz **
Folks what that haunt me (positive) on the Fediverse may have seen me sharing progress shots from this, but here I am, and I have made another camera application for the web. Leibovitz combines a lot that I learned making my other camera applications into one, hopefully less clunky package.

With leibovitz you can either take new photos, or upload any image file and apply filters to it. The UX to toggle between the two modes is … ⌘ Read more
