This might be the case, but how could Mazda even prove this? Unless they communicate in some weird proprietary binary protocol I could imagine that the API (especially if it's just some JSON/XML REST stuff) can be reverse engineer

I don't think this has anything to do with "attack surface". This is simply to avoid google collecting ip addresses. Running nginx might be marginally faster than PHP, but I believe the latency to your server will be far grea

Yes, this is certainly more "far-reaching" than other env vars. But If you have the ability to wreak havoc even if ld-linux wouldn't check for this (obv. PATH being the prime example, but unsetting HOME will almost certainly

Not really. Realistically you can set PATH to an empty string, and block execution everything that isn't invoked using a hardcoded path.

There is also gobject-introspection[0], which is also capable to generate bindings for quite a lot of higher level languages from (gobject based) c-code. I'm always impressed on how simple it is to use an object I defined in c within

I remember my old Nokia brick having the ability to send files and apps through an infrared thingy on its side. You could simply hold two phones side by side from each other and transfer data, but I remember handly anyone using it (I guess

Since there are absolutely no sources/further links in the article I could look at, is this based on David Chaums Ecash? Because that actually looked like a decently private central-ish digital currency.

Does this mean I can now finally generate object files from .rs sources and link them myself? That is one of the things that rustc is severely lacking.

A cool thing rpm(build) does, is that is automatically detects shebangs of packaged files and makes the built package depend on whatever package provides the file the shebang points to. This obviously cannot work for env shebangs, so you a

What alternative to a users passwords do you have in mind? The only other potential cryptographically secure alternative might be a TPM chip, if a machine has this. However since a TPM stores secrets system wide, keyrings for each user seam

you can "opt out" using adb by revoking the gyro permission. some non-google androids also have the possibility of revoking it with the ui, or even going as far as to promt for it (graphene os)
