Tired to replace battery on riding lawn mower , connected it the wrong way around because fuck me they make same shape batteries with poles reversed.

Started motor would happily turn the wrong way around but not engage the flywheel because it is mechanical cog that is supposed to flung in place when spinning.

After I had figured that out and reversed the wires the new battery was pretty empty already, went to buy a battery charger.

Turns out it was completely dead by the time I got one because I had left the ignition on , charger will not even attempt in repair mode.

Well at least the original battery would want to be charged by the charger so I can try that one again

Any tips on getting a completely flat ( but new) battery to come alive again?

    RCE Vulnerability in QBittorrent – Sharp Security (sharpsec.run)
     

    I dont know who needs to hear this bit qBittorrent has a nasty vulnerability ( and there are some older ones too)

    qBittorrent, on all platforms, did not verify any SSL certificates in its DownloadManager class from 2010 until October 2024. If it failed to verify a cert, it simply logged an error and proceeded.

    To be exploitable, this bug requires either MITM access or DNS spoofing attacks, but under those conditions (seen regularly in some countries), impacts are severe.

    The primary impact is single-click RCE for Windows builds from 2015 onward, when prompted to update python the exe is downloaded from a hardcoded URL, executed, and then deleted afterwards.

    The secondary impact for all platforms is the update RSS feed can be poisoned with malicious update URLs which the user will open in their browser if they accept the prompt to update. This is browser hijacking and arbitrary exe delivery to a user who would likely trust whatever URL this software sent them to.

    The tertiary impact is this means that an older CVE (CVE-2019-13640 https://www.cvedetails.com/cve/CVE-2019-13640/) which allowed remote command execution via shell metacharacters could have been exploited by (government) attackers conducting either MITM or DNS spoofing attacks at the time, instead of only by the author of the feed.

    My experience with LineageOS tonight (feddit.dk)
    submitted 2 years ago by to c/foss@beehaw.org
    comment fedilink
     

    so.. i'm running lineageOS on my phone (a Oneplus 6T) , have been for a very long time. Usually i'm really happy with this but not tonight:

    • Phone suggest a update of OS , just a weekly build. Sure why not, so it does it thing and i reboot, all good.
    • Open a app to listen to some podcast: screen goes black flickers a couple of times showing empty launcher. thankfully power button long press shows shutdown menu (but looks different from normal?) and lets me restart
    • do same thing again , ok looks like latest update broke something
    • update app, same
    • go to settings , updates to try to revert to previous version: no option to install older version , only option is export. weird ok lets try to export old version . Now it lets me install that
    • installation loops , seems it failed
    • try app again, same black screen , hold power button to get boot menu again : now phone says ERASING .. wait what stop no .. (does lineage have a panic wipe my phone key combo i didn't know about?)
    • rebooting , rebooting again
    • welcome setup your phone screen :(
    • remember that my cloud server disk burned last week , no way to restore backups :( :(

    favas eating ants? (feddit.dk)
     

    Hi All, my fava beans are being eaten by black ants , no aphids. the ants themselves seem to be sucking the juice out of the leaves, leaving black spots where they have been nibling.

    I thought they normally employed aphids to do the hard work for them but maybe they are skipping the middle man. Anyone seen this before?

    Other leaves are full of holes but that looks more like snails , dont think the ants are capable of that.

    Any good tips for encouraging the ants to move elsewhere ?
