Jon scares security guards, Eric teaches Python, and we have an open slack invite on mostlysecurity.com. The Ring article from last week never got much traction, beware the Facebook challenge, ancient vulnerabilities unearthed, and Troy Hunt loads another massive breach into HIBP. Eric's going to build a Pi calendar, measuring programming language efficiencies, and what are Fourier transforms anyway?

• Join Our Slack If you Want...
• Ring Videos
• 10 Year Challenge
• SCP Client Vulnerabilities

Eric and Jon celebrate the new year in style (not). Weeding out Craigslist ads and Jon wants a Prusa 3d printer. USB-C gets authentication (and a rant from us) and remotely playing videos on Chromecast devices. For fun: millitext, the origins of BASIC, and China lands a rover on the Dark Side of the Moon.
