It also needs root access, and 3.10 is only the lowest supported kernel. Not a docker expert but I could bet that they only support a subset of features there. What I do know is that docker images are specific to the host architecture, supp

To be fair, if signal didn't use electron, they would probably have used libwebp still, and then they would either have to implement sandboxing themselves, or they would be subject to the same vulnerability. Still, that they didn'

"voting makes no difference" is one of those rules which apply really well to the individual, but if you apply them to a larger group of people, they become wrong.

You can do this already today. Many live distros have the option to copy the OS to a ramdisk in the initrd.

I disagree, it is easier to hide back doors in binaries than in source code. "some RE" is way harder to do on scale than looking at diffs of source code. But yes, it's also possible to put back doors into source code as well.

Only as a verification step though, not to obtain the actual binary, which will be included in the .crate package, where it IMO should not be put.

The distro maintainers definitely had been in contact with the maintainer about the binary change, and I'm very thankful for them to have done that.

wasm is also a binary format, and I wouldn't like it to be included into the .crate file either. The .crate files should ideally only include source code, to preserve the source first nature of crates.io (even if it's never been o

That's what a logically thinking person thinks. Covid has shown that most people are not logically thinking, and the logically thinking majority cannot prevent them from not doing stuff that's bad ideas.

This is a cool idea for a possible cure of HIV, and it's great to see researchers trying it out. But from what I heard, CRISPR is quite ineffective: when you want to do gene edits with it, you often do it to cell cultures, then keep on

Exactly, northerners look younger and southerners look older. It might be genetics, but I think it's more due to the sun. Exceptions exist of course, but I think there is a trend.
