Of course by mentioning any name here I risk that they might be a future candidate of closing down and you say "gotcha" :-) Not all of them are "open core" in the sense that they have a core product and proprietary exten

I feel there's a few cases cited here to make a case that an entired business model is dying, but it doesn't look to me that this is an overall trend. You can't extrapolate from "5 projects didn't fare well with thi

AGPL doesn't allow you to say "I want AWS to pay me if they use my software". As long as AWS abides the rules of the AGPL they can use your software as much as they like and create offerings based on it.

Agreed. The truth is: We're downloading and executing code from the internet all the time and the amount of trust we can put into this is very fragile. Some risks can be mitigated by installing stuff in containers if you don't nee

FIPS and similar certifications (Common Criteria) have a pretty bad reputation. Plenty of pretty severe crypto vulns that should've been caught by certifications were missed, and more importantly that didn't lead to any critical r

It's a crash only. So it's not gonna compromise your machine, worst case is something not running any more. The conditions are also rather special, it seems the most likely scenario is that you have any software that verifies cert

it doesn't look like you can find it by fuzzing x509 cert parsing alone, only in certain combinations like by checking a cert against a CRL list. If you created a combined X.509 + CRL parser fuzzer you might have found it. Probably nob

LibreSSL has long outlived its purpose. It was started in a situation where OpenSSL had bad security practices, a chaotic coding style and plenty of obsolete garbage. None of that is true any more. If you look at the vuln posted here it&#x2

There's a tendency to highlight risks and sideeffects of this vaccine that is without any basis. It's reasonable to ask what the risks are, but unspecific ramblings about risks aren't helpful and it's unreasonable to hig

We now have a vaccine where the time from sequencing the virus to the time vaccinating the first patient was less than a year. That already happened. By the standard of every expert I heard commenting on this that pretty much would've

You can use renewable energy to produce any form of hydrocarbon chemical you want via Power-to-X processes. You can synthesize hydrogen from water. You can synthesize methane, methanol or ammonia with hydrogen and CO2 and go on from there t

For everyone commenting that denmark is "too small to matter" - please keep in mind that denmark basically kickstarted the modern wind energy industry. Cheap wind energy is one of the major pillars of hope for the energy transitio

I tried this to get a feeling how practical this is. It seems to me that this would only work in very rare situations. It needs some kind of pattern that is created with the same font. This pattern gets really large if you add a lot of char

You can make systemic changes to reduce the amount of animal products that people consume. For a start, you could stop subsidizing them. For the long term you could fund a massive meat replacement research project. (Though I disagree with t

Interestingly there are signs that Saudi Arabia has this on the radar more than others. E.g. they're building the larges green ammonia plant in the world. You may not hear a lot about ammonia production and green ammonia, but this is r

I mean once you have the data it shouldn't be exactly rocket science to check if the trial was done well. Given how clear the data is as far as one has heard until now the decision should be a no-brainer. You already had the trial prot

There's a reason medical tests aren't made easily accessible. The science of when regular testing something helps is complicated. If you test for things that are rare you might cause more harm than good by doing mass testing, beca

I actually remember that I read that story and wondered in my head about the extension length. But I had two possible ideas what could make the story work. One was that maybe they just hadn't used MS-DOS. There were plenty of computer

Yes. They even have an API to do so, you can revoke any Let's Encrypt certificate with certbot if you have the private key.

Some do, some don't. For example the captive portal issue, browsers can try to connect without DoH to a captive portal test page and provide a special non-DoH login tab. You can't do that on the OS level. You could create some int

Mandate a switch to e-fuels. Start with "all fossil-based fuels need to add 1% of synthetic e-fuels next year" and increase it to 100% over time. You can still drive your ICE car, but it'll become expensive.

I fully agree. I particularly think about this because I had some conversations with people from the open science community. It's really often where I'd like to tell them: "This problem, you really want to use something like
