Noone seeing the obvious connection to Manifest v3? "Oh, it appears with the new Chrome extension API it is impossible to write an adblocker that bypasses this. How could that have happened? Google told us they only have our best inter

Replacing the heat source only solves around 1/3rd of the problem. Most emissions come from the calcination, aka the conversion of CaCO3 to CaO and CO2.

It seems that there is now an increasing number of startups and researchers trying some form of completely unusual cement production to lower the carbon footprint. This is in principal a good thing, but... I can't help to think that su

And as one of my co-authors just pointed out to me, we also found a few security issues in mymail, yet they closed them as "not applicable"...

Interestingly, this is another security issue with STARTTLS. The whole concept of first establishing an unencrypted connection and only then upgrading to encryption is fragile in multiple ways. Admittedly, this is a pet peeve of mine, as I&

The problem with that is that nobody who is seriously doing energy modelling would propose to do all storage with batteries. That's more a popular misunderstanding than an actual energy concept. If you plan for a 100% renewable grid wh

There are multi-virus tests. Not "an universal antigen test" (I think that'd be challenging, there are AFAIK hundreds of "normal common cold" viruses out there), but it's getting better. I got a 5-virus test fo

Not sure why you get downvoted, lack of wifi in German trains is an issue, unreliable mobile internet coverage is another.

It's not really controversial in Germany, and largely the case. The problems lie elsewhere. IMHO there are two major problems with public transport in Germany. One is underfunding, which causes a lack of reliability, and plenty of line

If you take the train and not the car, you cause a lot less externalities.

The question is: Do I care? Particularly if I'm not super-competitive. I play chess irregularly on a not very sophisticated level (ELO ~400). I get automatically assigned opponents. Sure, it's possible that some of them cheat. It&

I've recently started playing chess again a bit (after doing it a bit when I was a teen), and there's an interesting aspect of online chess that I began to realize: When I was young you needed a local opponent to play chess, and t

All my experience with opensource projects tells me that it's hard to have a healthy opensource project with a super-obscure programming language. The reason is simple: You won't get contributors. You have a hard time finding peop

Well, it's also a suid binary, thus it's very safety critical on unix-systems. su isn't as complex as sudo, so there's less reason to create a "simpler su", but still, a memory safe su seems like a good idea. A

Yeah, but... Recently learned that it doesn't implement using a new pty, which makes it vulnerable to TIOCSTI and TIOCLINUX ioctl attacks. Which doesn't matter on OpenBSD, because OpenBSD does not have these features. But Linux do

> it is a complex piece of software That's the problem. It shouldn't be. I hope the sudo-rs variant does better.

by hannob 3y ago
This sounds good, however, I hope they don't try to replicate all of sudo. sudo fails a basic security principle on Unix systems, and that is that suid binaries should be simple. Their developers have a tendency to add all kinds of stu

Doesn't matter if you follow that logic, it's what the numbers say. Maybe it becomes clearer if you look at them, e.g. chart 3 on that page: https://www.cleanenergywire.org/factsheets/germanys-energy-c...

If we can't reach 1.5°C then we should try to reach 1.6°C. If we can't reach that then 1.7°C. Ultimately: It doesn't matter whether we can reach 1.5°C, because everything we try helps making things better. And any carbon sequ

Beef and dairy is still horrible for the climate, yet maybe a few percent less than previously thought.

I haven't seen those "skeptics" who said "maybe methane has a slightly smaller impact and CO2 a bigger one". Can you point me to sources here?

Interestingly, I don't like most oat milks because they're so sweet. I also learned that while they almost always say they're unsweetened, that's kinda... not wrong, but misleading, as most oat milks use a production pro

I wasn't really aware that GIMP wasn't ported to the latest GTK+ version yet. This is a bit funny given that GTK originally stood for "GIMP Toolkit".

> Medicine is evidence-based but they won't hand you a bunch of studies before surgery. Well, they surely should be able to if you ask for it. And ideally, that information should be easily available to you anyway.
