No, it isn't imho. After the cold war has ended, the western nations focused on not giving a fuck about military strength, allies or facing opponents the size of Russia or China. Instead some small-time infantry campaigns like Iraq, Sy

Requiring login after getting user input is a dark pattern. This bad implementation of it makes it even worse. I hate it with a passion and I will boycott services that do those inconsiderate things to me.

That's because phone browsers have the insane braindead default of scaling everything into tiny unreadableness. You have to explicitly say "stupid browser, nobody ever wanted this shit, behave sensibly by including <meta name=&

Have been looking for something like this and will immediately try it out. Logseq is cool, but the desktop client is slow and keyboard usability is low. Also, my "favourite" problem: cleaning up git conflicts that somehow got into

What Prusa is that? Last one I've used (not my own, community lab), I had to level the bed using the sheet-of-paper-method. Which is the reason why I got a Bambu for myself.

Exploits are sold and used as weapons, sometimes even weapons of war. Which in many places is criminal, except under very restrictive circumstances. Also, all kinds of aiding and abetting.

I can accept (and welcome) disclosure before there are patches. But publishing a working exploit together with the disclosure before patches are available is really really irresponsible, maybe even criminal. And no, the proposed mitigations

The potential remedy doesn't work on RedHat and derivatives because the affected code is not a module there but statically compiled in.

IMHO all this whining about "layering violations" is stupid. One will always need some kind of layer glue, neighbors bordering on each other need to know something about each other, correlate addresses, etc. It is impossible to do

Mobile IPv6 support is theoretically possible. Practically, like so many cool things you could do with your network, ISPs won't have it. The best you can do is hide it from your ISP by using some tunnel, but then you might as well just

Well, I can do that with OpenWRT, no idea which prosumer devices already implement this, but it isn't rocket science: Announce the Prefix of the currently active connection, invalidate the other one. Will interrupt all your TCP connect

h264 and h265 are patent-encumbered and therefore very expensive and/or dangerous. Patent trolls would rip Mozilla apart and eat all their money. The only reason H.264 works atm is that Cisco sponsors a plugin for that.

I'm having my own and my girlfriend's router (in different flats) connect to each other with a wireguard tunnel, so I can print on her printer. Non-colliding addresses make this a lot easier. But yes, renumbering also isn't a

fd::1 is somewhere in the reserved ::/8 space where various stuff like old ipv4 mapped addresses and localhost reside. What you probably mean is something like fd00::1, but that is something you shouldn't use, because 'fd00::

AD is LDAP+Kerberos, which has existed in the Unix/Linux world long before Microsoft bastardized it. So pick any of half a dozen LDAP server implementations and any of 3 or 4 Kerberos implementations and use those. If you want point-an

It's also rare because advertising for lawyers (and doctors) is strictly regulated in some member states. A sign in front of the office saying "S. Goodman, attorney, specialized in drugs, organized crime and whiplash" is OK,

I guess that's just the usual hyperbole in these kinds of heated talks. I mean, it is basically the same as all those instances of TACO: Propose something outrageous, outlandish and absolute, later compromise to do something lesser.

But if I have to relink everything, I need all the makefiles, linker scripts and source code structure. I might as well compile it outright. On the other hand, I might as well just link it whenever I run it, like, dynamically ;)

Most stuff like that uses some kind of "icd" mechanism that does 'dlopen' on the vendor-specific parts of the library. Afaik neither OpenGL nor Vulkan nor OpenCL are usable without at least dlopen, if not full dynamic li

Statically linked binaries are a huge security problem, as are containers, for the same reason. Vendors are too slow to patch. When dynamically linking against shared OS libraries, Updates are far quicker and easier. And as for the size adv
