Help me identify possible tracking device found in my car

TL;DR

I found a non-OEM electronic gadget in my car. It is wired into the ignition, and contains a 435.10 MHz radio reciever, a microcontroller, and two relays. I suspect it might be a device that allows third parties to unlock the doors and start the car with a radio.

Details

I was driving my 2020 Honda Insight EX when it started to make the annoying sound of an electromechanical relay rapidly switching on and off. When I got home I looked under the dash and straight away I could see someone other than Honda had been in here. The first thing I saw was this surface-mounted switch that doesn't belong there.

Voice assistants are becoming more and more popular by the day.

It started in our phones, but now they've made it into the speakers of our homes and cars, ready to answer our questions and follow our commands.

For their users, voice assistants provide a convenient hands-free way of performing certain action like playing a song, checking the traffic reports, setting reminders or turning lights on and off.

For companies this convenience also provides a novel way for generating engagement, sometimes more so than webs or phone apps themselves.

Edit 🎉

All packages, except for Tini have been added to termux-root. To install them, simply pkg install root-repo && pkg install docker. This will install the whole docker suite, left only Tini to be compiled manually.

Think twice before abandoning Xorg. Wayland breaks everything!

Hence, if you are interested in existing applications to "just work" without the need for adjustments, then you may be better off avoiding Wayland.

Wayland solves no issues I have but breaks almost everything I need. Even the most basic, most simple things (like xkill) - in this case with no obvious replacement. And usually it stays broken, because the Wayland folks mostly seem to care about Automotive, Gnome, maybe KDE - and alienating everyone else (e.g., people using just an X11 window manager or something like GNUstep) in the process.

Wayland proponents make it seem like Wayland is "the successor" of Xorg, when in fact it is not. It is merely an incompatible alternative, and not even one that has (nor wants to have) feature parity (missing features). And unlike X11 (the X Window System), Wayland protocol designers actively avoid the concept of "windows" (making up incompr

Creating a BIP39 mnemonic 100% by hand (almost)

This document shows how we can create Bitcoin wallet mnemonic seeds by hand in a provably secure way. It follows the BIP-39 specification. The steps are straight forward, and we'll go into each of them in detail with this doc.

The steps are as follows:

• Generate cryptographically secure bits
• Divide into 11-bit bytes
