Sure they do. There are people who have taken worlds from 10 years ago and brought them all the way to the latest Minecraft release, and breaking changes are done very carefully. The only two substantial nerfs that I can remember are zero-t

Because they had enough of Trump after 4 years. Dick Cheney is voting for Harris, that's the equivalent of Norman Osborn voting for Peter Parker.

If we lost access to electricity, we'd be completely screwed; we can't even get drinkable water in many places without electricity. For example where I live there is water around 10-20m depth, but it's polluted (it may be usa

Is that the vocabulary of Germanic origin and imported from Germanic, or is it just the part of PIE that has not diverged between Latin and Germanic languages?

Disabling foomatic seems hard since the PPD can be distributed by the attacker and foomatic-rip is part of the cups-filter package. But yes, lp user + SELinux should be enough to make this not a 9.9.

Maybe, maybe not. If I understand correctly, you still need to print something to the printer to achieve RCE via foomatic-rip.

The 9.9 issue is the foomatic-rip vulnerability; not cups-browsed listening on 0.0.0.0. See here: > LAN: a local attacker can spoof zeroconf / mDNS / DNS-SD advertisements (we will talk more about this in the next writeup) and

OpenSUSE But it looks like cups-browsed is only needed on the Internet; locally you only need mDNS.

Regarding Itanium, that could be just by chance because Fujitsu is the main (or almost only) seller of supercomputers in Japan partnered with HP. Also interesting however is how they switched to it from SPARC and actually kept using SPARC l

Pivoting to internet didn't work great for Bill Gates. Nobody really used MSN other than for chat and possibly hotmail, the browser wars were lost, and the bulk of the revenue was done on Windows at the time Nardella took the helm. How

No, QEMU is a huge C program which can have its own vulnerabilities. Usually QEMU runs heavily confined, but remote code execution in QEMU (remote = "from the guest") can be a first step towards exploiting a more serious local esc

That would be a damn good record though, isn't it? (I am fairly sure that more were found since, but the point is that these are pretty rare). Firecracker, which is written in Rust, had one in 2019: https://www.cve.org/

It doesn't perform poorly in fact. It can be tuned at 90% of non-nested virtualization, and for workloads where it doesn't, that's more than anything else a testimony to how close virtualized performance is to bare-metal. Tha

KVM got more and more integrated with the rest of Linux as more virtualization features became general system features (e.g. posted interrupts). Also Google and Amazon are working more upstream and the pace of development increased a lot. K
