@alwayscurious as in "sleepy"

I dislike remembering qemu options for networking

OH: "does fucking around with Z3 qualifies as self-care or self-harm?" "I think it results in two states that need to be evaluated separately"

it's really unhappy about being unable to open /dev/mem (lol no) and /dev/isp (not on my laptop SoC for sure)

the main binary of this IP camera works surprisingly well under qemu-arm-static, especially once after i gave it /dev/null in the chroot it lives in

i'm sorry but what the fuck?

it finally booted enough to bring up an httpd and this is what it presented me with

confidence-inspiring!

it was really, *really* unhappy about not having /dev/mem, so i did `touch dev/mem; truncate -s 4GiB dev/mem` and now it's happy

MYPING

i don't believe it's _related_, but shortly after opening that page it hung Chrome and then when i ran `sudo dmesg` my laptop hard-rebooted for seemingly no reason

i have the kernel save oops logs to pstore but it didn't do so, so it wasn't a kernel panic at least (or if it was, it panicked too hard to be able to use EFI runtime services...)

what is this malware-ass javascript

what is going on lmfao

why does it want me to downgrade my browser so badly lmfao

who built this

?????????

the reason it reboots, by the way, is that under qemu-user, calling the reboot syscall straight up just reboots your machine

(under qemu-system it reboots the VM, of course)

i deobfuscated the JavaScript and it's ... literally just MooTools, an ancient JavaScript framework. think jQuery or something.

so yes, literally this: https://mastodon.social/@easrng@pleroma.envs.net/114334884311562415

so apparently the reason it tried to get me to downgrade the browser is because the interface to the IP camera is built as an ActiveX component and Chrome 44 is the last version which supported them

@alwayscurious i'm too eepy for VMs

@xgranade you could say the same about renting a place from a landlod

ultimately, i'm too tired to not do *some* of this, and at this point i'm tired enough to do *a lot* of this. the only question is where, really, and even that is partly illusory

@sandmouth I really wanted to like it! I spent several months trying to make this relationship work

@ignaloidas SMT doesn't even add that much value. arguably it adds negative value. I hate it so much

@ignaloidas i'm all for less crackhead APIs yes
