If the container is running in privileged mode you can just talk to the docker socket to the daemon on the host, spawn a new container with direct access to the root filesystem, and then change anything you want as root.

The fact you can't see the pothole in the pothole episode still cracks me up. Ironically the kind of plotline you'd see in a Seinfeld episode. https://www.indiewire.com/features/general/seinfeld-netflix-.

I still don't understand why this needs to run Android. If you're looking for a much simpler and much cheaper device ($70 vs $200-$300) I would recommend the xteink x4.

Yeah, sure, the Mayor of the city where the MTA actually operates just has zero leverage over them. Might as well vote for a sex criminal who won't do anything instead. These are the comments that remind me of the core user base of out

This would let them sell to companies who want to only permit signed firmware images to run on their devices, which isn't allowed under GPLv3. How is this not allowed under GPLv3?

I work on a monorepo that does this using Typescript, for type checking. It's a mess. Huge learning curve for some type checking that very often will build perfectly fine but fail a type-check in CI. Honestly, just having a linter shou

In the context of a single system, there is no such thing as an "effective defense against 0 days" - that's marketing babble. A zero day by definition is an exploit with no defense. That's literally what that means.

The problem with ZKPs, especially for age verification in the US, is that it you obviously still need some digital identity to perform the proof against. That not only doesn't exist in the US, but introduces a sensitive identity that l

Couple of things - if you want prefixes to stay the same you can use ULAs for your home network. Not ideal but it's available. The 'right' way to manage this is to use DNS, and just have the prefixes auto-update there, or mDN

They aren't. A run-on, 70 word sentence for example wasn't easier to store in your head, or not require the occasional second read-through back then . Readers then still had to go through all of that. This "it's just out

Yes, he was popular, and his works still weren't as easy to read as some of his contemporaries and many authors before and after him. That's not nonsense, that's reality.

This is a common and convenient narrative but it's never been true. Readers then didn't have twice the short-term memory or 'context window' of people now. Dickens' sentence structure was just as difficult to parse
