Regarding parallel processing, I have to disagree. It is bad in shell, because it makes best practices such as "set -e" impractical. The usual failure mode is a script that does not stop correctly on SIGTERM, and its children have

Correct. But you do know the passphrase, and, from the viewpoint of Secure Boot and the locked-down kernel, you (the legitimate owner) are also the attacker who tries to run some unapproved kernel-mode code and will stop at nothing in order

It is not because of an unencrypted swap partition. It is because, even if it is encrypted, you know the key and can thus replace the image with an arbitrary modified one, or, in theory, with a hacked version of a Windows boot loader, which

Just out of curiosity: is a similar problem (generate a valid public key that surely nobody including myself can know the private key of) solvable for RSA?

Well, the tissue grows, but the big question (not answered in the summary) still is: does it work?

The real problem is that an _attempt_ to cheat is graded, on average, higher than no submission at all. We need to change that.

But what's wrong with Teams? It works well enough for me in Firefox on Linux. But OK, I only joined customer-initiated meetings, and was never presenting, only watching and talking, so maybe never used some important but non-working fe

I never said "giving wrong facts", I only meant presenting a wrong conclusion, to be nullified by human inspection of the still-correct facts.

I believe one of the solutions to the problem of people automatically trusting the AI to make judgements, where in fact they are supposed to scrutinize, would be to introduce some deliberate random mistakes in the AI output, and log these d

Wrong Toloka. Yandex has its own Toloka which is a crowdsourcing platform for repetitive tasks that inherently require a human in the loop. In other words, this factor comes from real human assessors hired via Toloka.

The section with the link order stays only on disk, i.e. not loaded into RAM, and is therefore useless to the one who tries to exploit sshd. Especially because the sshd binary is readable only by root now.

Actually, saving the hashes of the objects into the executable itself, into a new section, would be enough. Then one would need to locate this section, confirm that the hashes there form a permutation of the canonical ones, relink the canon

Why is custom software necessary at all? In the Philippines, if you are registered with eFPS, and have an account in one of the accredited banks, nothing is needed except a web browser.

Please don't throw out the baby with the bathwater. Fully reproducible builds provide great assurance against the supply chain attacks. But 100% reproducibility is in some cases a bit too much. What matters is whether the artifact can

In the Philippines, it is even worse. At least four standards (A4, Letter, Legal, and Long Bond), and all of them are necessary for communication with various government agencies such as BIR.

The trick is to choose a list of potential noise-free channels in the 5 GHz band, instead of one channel. Ideally channels that require DFS in at least one country, because a lot of cheap customer-grade network equipment (other than wireles

No need to hack anything. There are countries where DFS does not exist. Move there, install OpenWrt, set the country code appropriately in the GUI for both radios, enjoy both the fast WiFi and the good weather. And regarding the reasons for
