The Circle
Some years ago, I started reading the novel âThe Circleâ by Dave Eggers. I never finished reading it, but today I watched the movie. It has an important message about privacy, transparency and surveillance and shows that thereâs a thin line in-between those. I can definitely recommend watching it, although I sometimes wasnât impressed by the acting. â Read more

The heat lately and the heat in the coming weeks has been bugging me and getting to me so much that I bought a mobile air conditioner. It eats up a lot of electricity and will ruin my very low power consumption (< 800 kWh per year), but maybe it will help me sweat less. â Read more

âBasedâ Paganism vs. Christianity
Iâve been meaning to write about Paganism recently. I will frame it as a response to an email I received within the past day or so:
Hey Luke,
First off, I would like to thank you for all your efforts in making everything
you know accessible to everyone. You have exposed me to some of the most
thought-provoking people on the internet and Varg is one of them. I was
wondering if you can write an article or make a video on what you think about

Corrupting memory without memory corruption
In this post Iâll exploit CVE-2022-20186, a vulnerability in the Arm Mali GPU kernel driver and use it to gain arbitrary kernel memory access from an untrusted app on a Pixel 6. This then allows me to gain root and disable SELinux. This vulnerability highlights the strong primitives that an attacker may gain by exploiting errors in the memory management code of GPU drivers. â Read more
