[Wayback/Archive] Kris: “iTerm2 logged passwords …” – Infosec Exchange
iTerm2 logged passwords
If you are running iTerm2 on MacOS with ssh integration (it2ssh or Settings -> General -> Profiles, set to SSH instead of Command) you want to
- Upgrade
- Find
/tmp/framer.txt on all systems you generally log into and delete it
If you manage systems with MacOS users, good luck.

Yup, I have been in the Ring ecosystem since way before Amazon took them over, and it is kind of hard to part from the useful cameras, so here is for my link archive: [Wayback/Archive] Latest Products/Feature Request Board topics – Ring Community
Via two suggestions I did:

While moving from ancient hardware to more modern hardware, somehow Visual Studio Code had updated itself to a version that didn’t support the underlying operating system any more. Bummer!
Normally I would get the list of extensions through this command (which is listed in many places, like in my blog post How can you export the Visual Studio Code extension list? (via: Stack Overflow), but also for instance answered in the below question by [WaybackSave/Archive] Benny Ng):
code --list-extensions
That obviously would not work, but thanks to [Wayback/Archive] How can you export the Visual Studio Code extension list? – Stack Overflow (thanks [Wayback/Archive] Andrew and [Wayback/Archive] MarkP) I now could do this:
ls -alh ~/.vscode/extensions
(That directory obviously is also in various forms of official documentation like in the the Your Extensions Folder section of [Wayback/Archive] Publishing Extensions | Visual Studio Code Extension API.
A comment to the above question pointed me to an interesting way to automate extension installs on various machines: pack the installed extension list into its own .vsix file:

For my link archive: [Wayback/Archive.is] Converting Phono Inputs to Line-Level
It shows for some receiver models how to have the Phono input signals bypass the preamplifier (preamp) so they effectively become Line level inputs and there is no need for an extra devices that undoes RIAA equalisation.
If that fails, then you need something like the [Wayback/Archive.is] Line level to phono input converter diagram:
Or get you a [Wayback/Archive.is] iRIAA2 – Inverse RIAA Filter – Hagerman Audio Labs

I wrote a two earlier blog posts around puns in programming book indices before:
- the 1992 Turbo Pascal 7.0 Language Guide having both entry in the manual about Recursion (“recursive loop, see recursive loop”) which of course is similar to “infinite loop” and entries for “infinite loop See loop, infinite” and “loop, infinite See infinite loop”.
- infinite loop in “LaTeX: A Document Preparation System” by Leslie Lamport, printed in 1994.
In the last one, I promised to list more occurrences which I now finally had time for to do.
But let me first elaborate more on the observation that modern computer books (like for instance on C# and Delphi beyond version 1) lack these kinds of index pun.
On the Delphi side, the index entry joke for recursion got removed no later than Delphi 3 (I am still looking for a Delphi 2 version of the Object Pascal Language Guide, see further below) even before the book being fully redone electronically and the index pages generation being automated in
I think I even understand why that is: the process of creating of indices. By the start of this century, more and more indices were automatically being generated and for the last 2 decades or so, all of them are. Back in the days however, indices were mostly done by hand. Nowadays, with everything automated, it is actually pretty tricky in most environments to add such an “infinite loop” index entry like in the Turbo Pascal book, as it would require two things at once:

A small introduction is the Pentium FDIV bug – Wikipedia article which already has some of the highlights..
Ken Shirriff however went all the way in, and used a microscope to focus in on to the actual cause.
He wrote two Mastodon threads on it watching (most recent first, with a link to his blog post) making a good year’s end read:

A while ago, browser tabs were overflowing again so I first mad the list of links with quotes below, then discovered there is a template for many browser tabs open at [Wayback/Archive] To many browser tabs open Meme Generator – Imgflip
One of the reasons is that the WordPress “Press This” bookmarklet is very slow and also flaky at escaping HTML (for instance the below html – Why shouldn’t &apos; be used to escape single quotes? – Stack Overflow sometimes becomes html – Why shouldn’t <code>'</code> be used to escape single quotes? – Stack Overflow in [Wayback/Archive] Press This – WordPress plugin | WordPress.org especially when running it from Archive Today archived pages).
