Twitch Featured Clip Auth Bypass
The purpose of featured clips are to allow streamers to select any clip of their own channel and set it as featured on their main video page. As it suggests the streamer themselves hand picked/promoted the clip, there are safety features to stop the clip creator from editing or deleting it once it is featured. And should be strictly restricted to the channel owner and authorized editors only. Featured Clip Auth Bypass (Medium/High) I was digging around the clip editing feature on Twitch, curious about the data sent when editing a clip. In the POST request was something that caught my eye, a “shouldFeature” flag amongst the JSON metadata. My…

Lumière Parfaite
For so long, life felt like an endless night — a sky unbroken, vast, and silent.Countless beautiful lights dotted the darkness, scattered like stars above frost-kissed forests. Each shone with its own glow, beautiful, yet none could pierce the night, none could turn it into day. I searched, reaching, hoping, to no avail. Then, a light burst forth, impossibly bright.A Virtuous star erupted, striking brighter than all the rest.Its warmth poured into the void, igniting the frozen shadows around me. It was perfection — a flawless, infinite brilliance, so profound it defied reason.As if the universe itself had opened, revealing a vérité that could not be explained, only felt. It…

Canada 2018
A few photos from my incredible trip to Canada some time in November 2018. Where my mum and I finally got to visit my sister, her husband, and their son at their new home. The experience was amazing with such friendly people at every moment, a stark contrast from leaving Manchester Airport with staff screaming at everyone. I hope to visit again some day as it felt like home, only nicer! Exploring Pinawa We took a trip to Pinawa which was beautiful, however so cold I preferred to keep my hands warm rather than take many photos. Cocktails! I must admit one of my favourite things was going to a…

My Journey to Understanding Myself
I spent most of my life feeling like I don’t belong. Like I was living on a broken auto pilot, alone and barely getting by while everyone else seemed to be living. I told myself I was just different, a quiet person, a person who struggled because I wasn’t very good at things and slowly accepted my fate. It wasn’t until I reached my late 20’s and now my 30’s that I began to understand the real reasons behind it all. This is my story of finding the answers. The Quiet Kid in a Loud World My earliest memories of feeling different were simply just being shy in primary…

My Accidental Dream Guitar: The Chapman ML3 Pro Modern
On my hunt for a second guitar, I started with no idea what I was looking for and ended up finding the guitar of my dreams. As a lefty, the search for the perfect guitar seems impossible. The guitars I thought I truly wanted were either not available for lefties or were way out of my budget. For my first guitar, I settled for a black Fender Highway One Strat. While I initially thought its simple design was a good thing, I soon found myself neglecting it. It was uninspiring, and I would only pick it up about ten times a year. Many years later, I went on a journey…
