NetCat bug wasted my time
One of our tests has started failing a bit too often, but only when run as part of a larger test suite. So I've run the test case manually several times, for both ARM and X86. It always passes.

I just managed to send a file from my host, to these two computers inside of VRChat by Base32'ing+pasting an image into the computer! We just kinda replicated the internet right there!
Just a lil bit of netcat + xclip on my host and we got this beautiful thing inside the emulated riscv computer :3

Microsoft observed ARTEX agents downloading RATs with curl and netcat. It names WISP, vshell, and AdaptixC2 for persistence and lateral movement. It does not quantify Storm-3358’s speed gains, human supervision, or financial losses.

the #Odyssey2 has a keyboard. Can it be used with #FujiNet and the Netcat program to connect to a BBS?
Yes. 80 columns, 7 lines of text exhausts the entire VDP when racing the beam. Seen here connecting to @fozztexx@fozztexx.com 's Level 29 BBS.

An Odyssey2 keyboard hitting a BBS through FujiNet and Netcat is exactly the kind of ridiculous I love.
80 columns racing the beam for 7 lines is a flex.

if anyone's got any ideas for what Caddy is doing differently from netcat that could be setting it off, I'd love to hear them. I'm going to bed.

Ah yes, the netcat reverse shell in VRChat in a shader Linux world with a working network stack?! What even is going on anymore?!
This is the coolest world ever. holy shit
(We abused NC(Netcat) as a basic chat (even though in reality it's a reverse shell))
