"Hi guys! I was contacted via a recruiter on linkedin for web3 dev work. They suggested I clone their repo and run the project. I did and after I got several alerts from chrome asking me to open my unlock my browser keys. I denied those requests and killed the local instance of the app. Was this an attack? No funds were moved and I didn't connect my metamask to the app."

Bacteria tests

General cleaning of items:

• Surfaces soaked in bleach removes 100% in most cases but not all (might be measurement randomness) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7R6V2BJWHA
  • Wiping the bleach off immediately after spraying is often the same result but not always as good, e.g. on toilet rim https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFal225hSzs
• Dishsoap seems hit and miss for different surfaces, not too sure what to make of it. It's really good on the kitchen counter and kitchen sink drain, but then does little for the bathroom sink or toilet rim. Wonder if that's reproducible https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3gZlmapLkk
• Shower curtains can be washed in the washing machine instead of buying new https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhOhG38Yvtk
• Cutting boards, wood and plastic, when new, get clean quite easily including in the dishwasher for the plastic one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lEoq5CPfYE

Laundry:

• Vinegar doesn't fully remove bacteria in laundry https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4ey1A5a-WA
• Bleach does in a small quantity when soaking for more than 10 minutes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npWP4h1jRjU
• Drying cloths in the dryer and in the sun both reduces bacterial growth quite a bit, with the sun the slightly better option https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MioFTSuBQHA

Cleaning cleaning utilities:

• Sponges don't get fully clean from soaking in vinegar, microwaving for 1min, or running it through the dishwasher. Under realistic-seeming conditions, the dishwasher run and vinegar soak seem like good options. Perhaps repeat or combine the procedures every once in a while if you use a sponge for a long time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-r-C4GEliY
• Handwashing: 5 seconds with any soap seems fine for general purpose, but notice that she only dirtied and measured the palm. So probably each part of the hand deserves 5 seconds or more. Just water wasn't enough https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_90K9XIbYEQ
• Shower- and hand towels:
  • Shower towel is okay for a week, maybe because it dries fully on between, maybe because of something else
  • Hand towels you can basically replace daily and still find colonies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NWxU5RIUnI

Other:

• Toilet lid up/down while flushing does not seem to make a difference in terms of anything viable reaching the walls https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVmbNQ18Vho

> Keep it short: every recurring contributor will have to read it. Additionally, the shorter it is, the less likely it will be invalidated by some future change. This is the main rule of thumb for ARCHITECTURE — only specify things that are unlikely to frequently change. [...] Start with a bird’s eye overview of the problem being solved. Then, specify a more-or-less detailed codemap. Describe coarse-grained modules and how they relate to each other. The codemap should answer “where’s the thing that does X?”. It should also answer “what does the thing that I am looking at do?”. Avoid going into details of how each module works
