#hackdays

[renanferrari]

I got pretty sick in the past few days and was sad that I missed our most recent hack week on Tumblr, but I came back today just in time to watch the presentations and I was instantly happy to see all the amazing things my colleagues were able to accomplish in just one week. (Seriously, I wish you folks could have seen @cyle's face, I thought he was going to cry at times 😁)

At the risk of sounding really cheesy, I just wanted to say I'm really proud to be part of a team with such talented, smart, funny, and generous people. And I just can't wait for us to put some of these hacks into the hands of our community!

Hoping on Revamp Trending Page whereas this includes World Wide Trend Page and Locally Trend within the country/region, also Trending Tags must be have a Counts of Posted post within them

Answer: Hello, @otwol!

We are currently working on how we detect trending topics and tags, as it happens! And we hope to have this work wrapped up in the next few months. 

As part of other work, we have also discussed the possibility of changing how we source posts from Trending. These are currently posts that might have nothing to do with the trending topics. We have a different source that surfaces popular posts in trending topics, doing a round-robin to cover all of them. This should not be too tricky to look at, but we haven’t prioritized this yet.

There was also a Hackday project some years ago on localized trending, and we even ran several A/B tests. They didn’t show much impact, so this feature was disabled.

But as you say, it would be interesting to iterate on the trending page, and A/B test it against logged-out traffic to see if we can improve registrations. Thanks for your question here. We will look into it and get back to you with news.

KazHackStan: хакеры Центральной Азии входят в интеллектуальную реальность

New Post has been published on https://er10.kz/it-novosti/hakery-centralnoj-azii-vhodjat-v-intellektualnuju-realnost/

KazHackStan: хакеры Центральной Азии входят в интеллектуальную реальность

TSARKA GROUP объявила даты крупнейшей хакерской конференции в Центральной Азии. KazHackStan пройдет с 11 по 13 сентября в Алматы и примет более 5 000 посетителей и более 30 топовых спикеров со всего мира.

Шестой год подряд мероприятие будет крупнейшим по безопасности в РК и Центральной Азии. За три дня на KazHackStan обсудят все важные вопросы по киберзащиты: национальную политику кибербезопасности и законодательства, связанного с защитой данных. А на Secure Development Day ведущие разработчики, специалисты по безопасности и исследователи соберутся для обмена опытом в области безопасной разработки, качестве программного кода и защиты информационных систем. И, конечно, не обойдется без HackDay. Там топовые мировые исследователи кибербезопасности, высокорейтинговые белые хакеры, и даже новички и неискушенные обыватели, смогут погрузиться в мир новейших хакерских методик, увидеть свежие уязвимости и понять, как все это влияет на киберзащиту государства и стратегию национальной кибербезопасности.

В 2024 году мы выбрали понятные всем в этом году смыслы искусственного интеллекта, о которых в ИБ не говорит только ленивый, но добавили туда очень интеллектуальную и дорогостоящую с точки зрения инвестиций в науку тему виртуальной реальности. Встречайте тематику этого года — Intelligent Reality (IR) (Интеллектуальная реальность). Это — сочетание виртуальной реальности (VR) и искусственного интеллекта (AI), создающее уникальные и персонализированные цифровые миры. В IR VR создает погружающие среды, а AI анализирует данные и адаптирует контент в реальном времени, обеспечивая более умный и индивидуализированный опыт как профессионалов в области кибербезопасности, так и руководителей ИТ-департаментов и рядовых пользователей».

Олжас Сатиев, президент и основатель TSARKA Group

Енлик Сатиева, продюсер и главный организатор конференции KazHackStan, добавляет деталей из программы конференции:

Мы собираем спикеров из разных частей мира — гостями нашей конференции были Диллон Каннабиран (США) — создатель и директор Hack In The Box, Павел Жовнер (Великобритания) — автор проекта Flipper Zero, руководитель компании Flipper Devices, Рауль Филипе Морено Хименез (Панама) — юрист с фокусом на кибербезопасности в бизнесе, Джейсон И. Стрит (США) – консультант по безопасности, известный спикер DEFCON, Ральф Эчемендиа (США), специалист по кибербезопасности, и многие другие

Также, в течении всех 3-ех дней будут проходить соревнования CyberKumbez — крупнейшее хакерско�� соревнование в Центральной Азии, собирающее больше 100 хакеров. Среди них есть представители как крупных компаний, так и государственных учреждений. Для участников подготовлены макеты реальной ИТ-инфраструктуры (промышленных заводов, парков развлечений и административных зданий в городе), чтобы участники могли сымитировать и обезвредить виртуальные угрозы, обеспечив таким образом в будущем безопасность государства и общества.

Организатор конференции: TSARKA Group и Комитет по информационной безопасности Министерства цифрового развития, инноваций и аэрокосмической промышленности Республики Казахстан.

i won this for hackday in 2016, took them long enough

why is there a greyed-out clock icon at the bottom of all the posts

[kat]

[prayfornobu]

I’ve been seeing magic mirrors around the internet for a bit now and have been thinking of making one for months.  With the pi 4 dual monitor support it seemed like a perfect time for a  project

Materials * 24″x36″ acrylic mirror * 2 monitors - I’m very happy with these monitors.  They’re very thin and light, I didn’t even need to remove them from the casing * raspberry pi 4, heatsink * wood frame kit - This is actually for an art canvas, so it definitely isn’t going to provide the necessary support we need, so we’ll have to build it in the back * 1″x3″ piece of wood to cut to build the support structure for the back.  You’ll need a total of 96″ to build out 4 24 support pieces.  I also cut the corners into smaller blocks that angle perpendicular to the top bar * black board - I got this at an arts and craft store, a sturdy light board painted black or painted cardboard would work, the lighter the better and easy to cut * black felt * clamps * handsaw - I hope you got a circular saw * Sandpaper - Most of my day was spent sanding and dreaming of power tools * Glue - wood + superglue or gorilla glue * Paint if you want * Right angle ruler * Power drill and screws

A picture of all the materials App * BaseApp * Spotify * Googlephotos * Systemstats * Webview - this runs all the tumblr tv which powers the gifs.  Webviews out to tumblr.com/tv/simpsons for example

The cutting of the wood and painting were done prior to the build.  The assembly and  installation of modules and the app were a 1 day build

Building!

Squaring things off to cut

Nothing like handsawing barefoot

Lots of sanding ahead...

Watching paint dry...

More drying paint... The white is the outer frame the black is the back structure pieces

I actually bought 2 of the 24″ frame kits to glue 2 sides together to act as one of the support beams.   The frame portion became a nice holder for the top monitor

Build the frame and place the mirror in.  Use wood glue on the  corners, mallet the plastic corners in that it comes with.  Dont skimp on glue

Theres a small gap around the sides of the mirror and the frame that I padded with felt

Start lining things up and marking off exact mount points, also removed the protective stickers

Add the bottom monitor reversed and cut out the black board, we will need to cover the entire area that isn’t covered by monitor with board

Add the two support beams,  Stabilize with wood glue and screws.  This should be packed such that the monitors won’t move. Where monitor meats board, cover with the black felt held to the blackboard with wood glue.  I left a gap near the edges of each monitor with felt flaps that I can lift up later to place a motion detection camera for future use Glue in the corner squares and clamp them in place

Add the middle supports

Use the pi as a template to cut out a board and drill holes where the pi mount screws go.  The board is about an inch or so bigger than the pi.  Its from some packaging material I had at my apt, any small board will due, this gets glued to the backboard

After all the glue has dried.  Added some metal hooks to help support some wiring

Final product Backside

Overall I’m pretty happy with how reflective it is and I’m very happy with how sturdy it is.  From certain angles you can kind of see the outline of the monitor but its not much.  One thing is I totally didn’t cover up the monitor lights lol, so theres 2 dots - so cover those, I just say it adds to the aesthetic :)

Future things

I need to push some code changes to the magicmirror because it doesn’t support dual monitors.  I’m actually running two apps on different ports for each monitor and some hacking of the js/electron.js to change the x position.  But the app itself should be able to support extended displays, doesn’t seem like much code change i’ll make a pr when I get around to it.  This was for hackday and I was running out of time, gimme a break

Add motion camera, not really sure what it’ll do but i imagine it’ll turn on different modules

Hookup to bluetooth.  I plan on automating turning on and off the monitors and apps when it detects my phone connects to its bluetooth or is in range of it or something along those lines

Cheers!

Cheers!
