So I just saw The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and i gotta say, they did a damn good job.

But I'm not altogether happy with how much they changed the Games from how they played out in the book. I get needing to condense them for runtime and I get needing to change certain things like having cameras in the tunnels. The 10th Games were literally bursts of activity followed by hours upon hours of nothing because they couldn't see underground.

But it's the progression of events, the kill order & swapping of kills, and the omission of events which bothers me. Rest under the cut cos Long Post.

First of all: the Bloodbath. In the book, there is no Bloodbath. The kids literally grabbed supplies and hauled ASS to safety. You know. Like terrified children would. I personally think it was a mistake having the Bloodbath at all but I'm guessing some studio execs pulled rank on this one. >_>

Weaponizing the drones was something which...should've only worked once but whatever.

Coral getting properly fleshed out to be the main antagonist in the arena? Cool shit. They combined various aspects of other characters like Treech (7) and Teslee (3) into her. It gives us someone to root against and, narratively, I understand why they did it. She wasn't someone who'd trained her whole life like, say, Cato. She was just a kid who was doing what she thought she had to to get home. She was a bully, yeah, but not a villain.

Dill dying to the poison instead of her illness...um okay? This one I really don't get. IMO Lucy Gray seeing little Wovey die to the poison as she did in the books would've been much harder on her and the audience considering earlier events. Deadass, I think it was their way of dealing with the Reaper Problem - more on this in a minute Wovey's death was a cheap attempt at shock value and, surprise, no one was shocked. EVERYONE knew that container was bad news--audience, capitol, tributes--except perhaps Wovey herself. We'll blame the trauma.

And as for Lucy Gray herself, of her three book kills, one was removed entirely, and two were changed. The first being Dill instead of Wovey. The second being the way in which she killed Treerch. She was supposed to use a snake mutt as a weapon which she'd protected and hidden in her dress--which served as both a callback to her Reaping with the mayor's daughter.....and a premonition of what would eventually happen in the woods outside 12. And she was supposed to outwit/outmaneuver Reaper, which was removed entirely.

So, Reaper Ash. Big guy from District 11. The Thresh of these games. It's like they didn't know what to do with him. They dedicated his little screen time before the Games to making it clear he was 100% That Bitch and there were several lines (most from Lucky) indicating he was a strong contender. One of a handful of instances of Checkov's Gun, a rule of writing which states if you're going to call attention to a detail, it better fucking be important.

Allow me to summarize book events for those of you who don't know: The night before the Games, he apologizes to the surviving tributes for having to kill them and Jessup, who has rabies, spits in his eye. At the start of the Games, he was one of the few to run to get weapons at the start and was ready to fight, but everyone else was gone. So he heads out to hunt them down. Reaper was the only one proactively looking for a fight. Later, Reaper finds Dill down in the tunnels and carries her out into the open and lays her down in the sun because she's dying already and he's not going to kill her. He leaves her to her own devices and moves on. The next time we see him, he mercifully lets Lucy Gray flee from him. Afterwards, he strikes up an agreement with Lamina, the girl from 7, who's cleverly holed up high off the ground, and shows himself to pragmatic, fair, and good to his word.

Lamina warns him of oncoming tributes and he flees. When he eventually returns, he finds her and another murdered. Incensed, he begins assembling his morgue. During this, he uses part of a Capitol flag to make himself a cape, which makes him happy. The next day, he added Wovey to his morgue. When the Snakes are released into the arena, he is out of the line of fire, up in the stands, and survives.

By now, though, the rabies is really starting to affect him. He continues to obsessively add to and protect his morgue. On the last day, when Lucy Gray tries to add the third place tribute to it, he scares her off. But it's just them now and he doesn't even try to kill her. All he cares about is maintaining the morgue and keeping their bodies covered. He is eventually run ragged by Lucy Gray, who knows he's sick, and meets his end by drinking a poisoned puddle. He crawls to his morgue and dies. Lucy Gray wins.

In the movie, there's a Bloodbath and kids start killing each other, and he's right in there with them. We see him throw down ONLY to defend Dill. Then they just kinda....disappear. And they stay disappeared throughout everything which follows. None of his moments with the other tributes occur. When they emerge, Dill is significantly ahead of him--which tbh makes little sense since, as her protector, he reasonably should've gone out first to ensure it's safe--and dies by drinking poison. He is devastated and screams dramatically. He then begins to make his morgue and offend the capitol by disrespecting the flag before making a big dramatic speech to the cameras daring them to punish him. He apparently stays by his morgue for the rest of the day and when the snake mutts get dropped into the arena, he is keenly aware of the danger. He warns Wovey away, though she doesn't listen. He is almost immediately engulfed by the snakes. He holds still, sits up straight and tall, closes his eyes, then falls forward dead, followed swiftly by the remaining tributes except Lucy Gray.

So, that being said.

Book Reaper's story is a young man who expected to win and was prepared to do it, only for his degenerating mind to focus on protecting the dignity of the murdered children around him. His death was ignoble.

Movie Reaper's story is a young man who expected to win and was prepared to do it, but was also determined to protect his weak district partner with his life, and upon losing her, presents the Capitol both middle fingers. His death was ignoble.

I get why they cut the rabies plotline for the movie. It definitely saved time.....and it REALLY wouldn't look good if the filmmakers had both black guys die of rabies. Just saying. What bothers me about his movie story is just how unfulfilling it was. Going back to Checkov's Gun, he was supposed to be a Threat. And then he just. Wasn't. All for a over-dramatic and tbh unnecessary moment of glory.

so yeah that's my two cents.

anyway go see the movie.

All For The Game Series 1-3

What it’s about: All three books center around Neil Josten and his life that revolves around Exy (a fictional sport which is mixed between Hockey and Lacrosse) and his secrets he tries so hard to hide. The secrets he has been running from for most of his life.

Pages or RunTime: B1-260 Pages B2- 9hr 35min B3-12hr 33min

⭐ Overall Rating: 8/10

🌶️ Spice Rating: 5/10

Key Factors: LGBT+, sports, chaotic boyfriends, trauma, a messy found family, main character clueless about peoples emotions and completely misses the love interests attraction, twists and turns throughout the story.

Trigger warning for this one!

‼️ Beyond Here Contains Spoilers ‼️

Favorite Character: Andrew everyone views him as a monster but I could tell he was just traumatized from the beginning. He just wants to protect the family he has created for himself. His anger issues are relatable as someone with BPD. His dry commentary is a hilarious added point especially when Neil doesn't understand it.

Least Favorite Character: Riko if you read the books you'll get it. He is the devil incarnate and though his story may have started sad he was given an opportunity of a life time to turn it around and yes he still has issues being thrown his way but, it does not give him any right to be that cruel and sociopathic.

Favorite Part: When the FBI agents allow Neil is allowed to go speak with his team (family) and he thinks they won't even want to speak or see him Andrew least of all. He gets there and they all try to swarm him with questions of "if he's okay"'s and they were just all so worried. Then Andrew comes in handcuffed to Coach because he had been fighting so hard to get to Neil.

Favorite Quotes: "You're a pipe dream"

"Hope was a dangerous, disquieting thing, but he thought perhaps he liked it."

“Thank you," he finally said. He couldn't say he meant thanks for all of it: the keys, the trust, the honesty and the kisses. Hopefully Andrew would figure it out eventually. "You were amazing.”

“He was their family. They were his. They were worth every cut and bruise and scream.”

“You know I get it-" (This whole quote)

"Some of the strongest people I know are women"

When loading a DLL, Microsoft Windows looks for the DLL in a certain sequence of directories. The first match for the file name wins. In most cases, Windows will first look for a DLL in the same location as the executable. This behavior is what allows the Apple Safari "carpet bombing" vulnerability to work. If an attacker can place code in a directory that gets searched before Windows finds the "real" DLL, the attacker's code will be executed.

DLLs are Dynamic Link Libraries, small snippets of compiled code that EXEs call upon at runtime. And they can contain malware.

Carpet Bombing is a kind of attack where a legitimate DLL is replaced with a fake one containing viruses or ransomware.

Both Windows and Apple devices are vulnerable.

All browsers are vulnerable to this.

To protect yourself, make sure that any installer you download & run is the only file in its folder. Don't know where your browser is downloading files? Use CTRL-J (on Firefox, Chrome) to find that folder. If you've never done CTRL-J before you might be shocked at how many things you've accumulated as downloads. Usually it's safe to delete stuff in that folder after you've run the installer.

If you're on Windows, you may not even see the .DLL part of the file names on your computer; the factory default is to hide them. For complete filenames, turn on File Name Extensions.

From Explorer:

Dunno how Apple computers work; somebody familiar with MacOS feel free to add onto this.

Doraemon Short Film: The Doraemons: The Puzzling Challenge Letter of the Mysterious Thief Dorapin (1997)

The second of the Doraemon short films to star Doraemon's friends from his school days, the Doraemons. In this one, they are summoned by the principal of their former school, who requests their protection from a mysterious thief.

I found this one pretty enjoyable. There's nothing too complex here, but it's a nice, self-contained story that makes good use of its runtime with some drama, stakes, and mystery. It was cool to see all the Doraemons using their special abilities during the final battle.

CNAPP Explained: The Smartest Way to Secure Cloud-Native Apps with EDSPL

Introduction: The New Era of Cloud-Native Apps

Cloud-native applications are rewriting the rules of how we build, scale, and secure digital products. Designed for agility and rapid innovation, these apps demand security strategies that are just as fast and flexible. That’s where CNAPP—Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform—comes in.

But simply deploying CNAPP isn’t enough.

You need the right strategy, the right partner, and the right security intelligence. That’s where EDSPL shines.

What is CNAPP? (And Why Your Business Needs It)

CNAPP stands for Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform, a unified framework that protects cloud-native apps throughout their lifecycle—from development to production and beyond.

Instead of relying on fragmented tools, CNAPP combines multiple security services into a cohesive solution:

Cloud Security

Vulnerability management

Identity access control

Runtime protection

DevSecOps enablement

In short, it covers the full spectrum—from your code to your container, from your workload to your network security.

Why Traditional Security Isn’t Enough Anymore

The old way of securing applications with perimeter-based tools and manual checks doesn’t work for cloud-native environments. Here’s why:

Infrastructure is dynamic (containers, microservices, serverless)

Deployments are continuous

Apps run across multiple platforms

You need security that is cloud-aware, automated, and context-rich—all things that CNAPP and EDSPL’s services deliver together.

Core Components of CNAPP

Let’s break down the core capabilities of CNAPP and how EDSPL customizes them for your business:

1. Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM)

Checks your cloud infrastructure for misconfigurations and compliance gaps.

See how EDSPL handles cloud security with automated policy enforcement and real-time visibility.

2. Cloud Workload Protection Platform (CWPP)

Protects virtual machines, containers, and functions from attacks.

This includes deep integration with application security layers to scan, detect, and fix risks before deployment.

3. CIEM: Identity and Access Management

Monitors access rights and roles across multi-cloud environments.

Your network, routing, and storage environments are covered with strict permission models.

4. DevSecOps Integration

CNAPP shifts security left—early into the DevOps cycle. EDSPL’s managed services ensure security tools are embedded directly into your CI/CD pipelines.

5. Kubernetes and Container Security

Containers need runtime defense. Our approach ensures zero-day protection within compute environments and dynamic clusters.

Security Considerations in Mobile App projects

Security can no longer be an afterthought in a world where mobile apps rule both consumer and business technology. As companies use mobile devices to manage operations, communicate more effectively, or serve customers, protecting user data and app functionality becomes crucial. From the start, Softrate Canada has placed a high premium on security, not only as a feature but also as the cornerstone of each and every mobile application we develop.

One facet of mobile app security is preventing hackers. It's about protecting business continuity, maintaining trust, and making sure regulations like GDPR and HIPAA are followed. A single breach can have long-lasting financial repercussions and harm a brand's reputation. Understanding the main security factors that ought to direct any mobile app development is therefore essential.

Data storage should be one of the most secure areas. Sensitive information, including payment details, user credentials, and personal information, is commonly stored on mobile devices. This information must never be kept in plain text or in the local storage of the application, where it is readily available. Instead, we use encryption protocols and secure containers to ensure that even if someone gets to the device, they won't be able to decode what they find. The recommended choice for iOS is Keychain, whereas Android provides either Keystore or EncryptedSharedPreferences.

Secure authorization and authentication add another line of defense. It is insufficient to have a login screen alone. At Softrate Canada, we implement multi-factor authentication (MFA), OAuth 2.0, and token-based security models (such as JWT) to verify user identity and manage secure session handling. This guarantees that only authorized users can access the appropriate portions of the application and guards against abuse in the event that credentials are stolen.

API security is equally important. The majority of mobile applications mainly use APIs to connect to backend services. Unprotected APIs allow hackers to intercept requests, insert malicious data, or take advantage of features that were never intended for public use. In order to prevent this, we make sure that all data transfers are encrypted over HTTPS and that APIs are protected with appropriate input validation, rate limiting, and authentication keys. Making APIs functional is only one goal; another is making them impervious to misuse.

One important but frequently disregarded area is code security. Tools that are easily accessible online can be used to reverse-engineer mobile applications. Therefore, if the code isn't obfuscated, your business logic, algorithms, or embedded secrets may be revealed. To make apps resistant to tampering and difficult to exploit, we employ runtime security measures in conjunction with code minification and obfuscation techniques.

Remembering secure user permissions is important. Location, contacts, camera, and storage are among the many things that mobile apps frequently ask for. However, requesting extra permissions may be viewed as intrusive and could result in security flaws. We advise adhering to the least privilege principle, which states that you should only ask for permissions that you absolutely need and that you should always explain your request to the user. Risk is decreased, and trust is increased.

Legal security standards and compliance must be taken into account from the very beginning, in addition to technical controls. Your mobile app might have to abide by rules like PCI-DSS for payments or HIPAA for healthcare data, depending on the sector. Softrate helps clients navigate these regulatory requirements by incorporating controls that maintain the legal compliance and audit-readiness of their apps.

The last and possibly most crucial aspect of mobile app security is continuous monitoring and updates. Threats are ever-changing, and new weaknesses are always being found. Security is therefore not something that can be created once and then forgotten. We use tools for crash reporting, logging, and mobile analytics to detect problems early. In order to maintain app security over time, we also promptly release patches and updates.

In conclusion, every successful app needs to address the complex issue of mobile app security. From data encryption and secure coding to compliant API integration and continuous monitoring, every layer counts. At Softrate Canada, we view security as a mindset rather than a checkbox. Because in today's mobile-first world, protecting your app means protecting your business.

Kalki 2898 A.D. (2024)

Film review #661

Director: Nag Ashwin

SYNOPSIS: In the year 2898 A.D., a post-apocalyptic Earth is ruled by the supreme ruler Yaskin from The Complex: the last surviving city on Earth. Ashwatthama, who has been cursed to wander the Earth as an immortal for six thousand years, meets a young girl named Raia, who escapes being taken to The Complex. She unknowingly brings him the gem from his forehead that was taken all those years ago, and when he places it back where it belongs, finds out that a woman is bearing the prophesised Kalki, who will bring about a new age. The two then seek out to find this woman and protect her from Yakin's evil forces...

THOUGHTS/ANALYSIS: Kalki 2898 A.D. is a 2024 Indian sci-fi epic. As a starting point, the film is heavily based around the rich Hindu scriptures and religious texts, featuring various figures and events. It's not wholly necessary to know about them in order to get into this film, as you can get the general gist of the characters and the backstory, but it definitely feels overwhelming at the beginning of the film if you know next to nothing about it (like me). Essentially, the film is set in the year 2898, in a post-apocalyptic wasteland that you've seen in many times before, so that part is at least familiar. Ashwatthama, an immortal who has been cursed by Kirshna to wander Earth for six thousand years after attempting to kill the princess Uttawa's child, and his divine gem is taken from him. Having to watch humanity's decline over that period, Ashwatthama is reunited with his divine gem by a chance encounter with a young girl named Raia, he learns that the prophesised child Kalki, is to be born to a pregnant woman, and heads out to protect her, as Kalki is destined to usher in a new age for humanity. If I had to compare it to Western cinema releases, I would say it's a mix of Mad Max, Marvel's Avengers, and The Lord of the Rings. It's made to be an epic, featuring a large cast of characters, large scale structures, locations, battles, the works. Clocking in at nearly three hours, it's a fairly standard runtime for Indian cinema, but definitely the kind of runtime reserved for the aforementioned epics in Western cinema. The world is established fairly well, alongside the situation of the people living there. Again, it might be fairly typical if you're used to western cinema, but it is something less undertaken in Indian films, and I think the incorporation of Hindu scripture helps with that transition.

The problem with the film is that there are too many disparate characters that the film introduces, and spends the first half of the film wandering about the world as the characters bump into each other rather aimlessly. As mentioned, the world is established decently enough, but there's not too much direction with regards to what we are supposed to be doing there. The second half of the film brings things together more, towards a finale filled with epic battles and a showdown with the villain. The epic battle between two opposing forces really does feel like something you would see in Lord of the Rings or some such, leading me to feel that the film just imitated a typical Hollywood-style climax. Even worse, the film describes itself at the end as continuing in the "Kalki Cinematic Universe," which just reinforces the point that it's trying to mold itself into a very specific format, and not trying to be self-contained. The trouble with trying to square up to Hollywood blockbusters is that it never looks or feels on par with the; inviting the comparisons, but all the worse for it. The CG is noticeably rough at points, and the large-scale shots don't quite look convincing enough. The characters never really come into their own either, as they're often spaced out and large amounts of time passes in between seeing them, and take too long in establishing where there place is in the film. The big example of this is Bhairava, a bounty hunter is a scoundrel and a villain right up until the last scene of the film, where he suddenly flips.

Kalki 2898 A.D. is an ambitious cinematic attempt that synthesises Western cinema epics with traditional Hindu foundations. Having the biggest budget of any Indian film at the time of release, it aims high, but a muddled story, awkward pacing, and disparate characters fail to really bring everything together, and elevate it to the level of its ambition. Might be more interesting to someone who appreciates the incorporation of Hindu scripture and figures, but will probably draw comparisons with more successful films to Western viewers.
