Well the alternative is exchanging data, not code. Actually this was the initial idea on the web, hyperlinked data. Look where that brought us. Maybe we could devise a better model with a client (code) that is simple enough and universal en

> So, instead of walled gardens with signed and checked applications (bad). We have to run untrusted and unchecked code and sandboxed. yes, this is way forward.

Agreed on not abandoning the GUI, I'm writing this from dillo for example. Also agree on the idea of not having the browser as the new OS and not expanding attack surfaces so much. But Pale Moon seems to be a far cry from that, special

I reserve the right to live in a smaller space than what you consider proper, and I do so by choice and not out of need. My 4x3m plus small bathroom is great and easy to maintain.

Not reproducing does not mean you cease to exist. Also, consciousness about the environment does not transmit through genes.

Saying that this "cannot be taken down" is quite stupid. It's all fine and dandy if you live in a place without strong censorship, but in a situation where information that cannot be taken down would be really necessary, how

Well yes, but that's a pretty special case. Those running such ancient hardware keep their own software and patches, and you don't see many software vendors supporting them unless their are being very well paid. OpenBSD itself doe

If you want to know wheter it was found "in the wild" and think that this is a relevant factor in deciding if you should care, that is information enough about your usage to be confident it is wrong.

That's not how security works. If it can potentially lead to a software like openssh leaking secrets, it is of the highest urgency, period. It doesn't matter if it is thought to be hard to exploit and it doesn't matter if it

You said you shouldn't care if it was not found in the wild, this is just wrong

Side channel attacks are only possible because the hardware is currently vulnerable. They are not a law of nature. Once you solve the vulnerability at its root and it becomes physically inexistent, and there's no more running hardware

Don't underestimate what hackers with enough motivation can achieve. Specially when the stakes are so high and the geopolitical power coming from a software vulnerability can be significant.

by bigato 7y ago
Because the more complexity you have in software, the harder it is to keep it secure. Even security mitigations can potentially introduce another vulnerabilities. This is one of the reasons that as a general rule we should strive for softwa

A vulnerability that has been shown to work should not be patched in the software more widely used around the world to connect all kinds of linux/unix servers and even other systems? They should wait for it to start getting exploited &

Higher level building blocks still need logic to assembled just the same. If they don't, they are just configuration. That's why in every one of these use cases of these "no-code" projects, they ended up hiring programme

It is doomed to fail because logic can't be abstracted away, and that's the very foundation of programming and what makes it hard.

But makes it more likely that you'd be seeing stuff that isn't there. And stating one is not paranoid does not convey any kind of useful information since the most paranoid are usually the ones who will be more convinced they aren

It would be legally required to be opensource, whereas with BSD it wouldn't. That's all I argued. Whether some country will try to enforce it via whatever means is another question altogether.
