Because the NSA recommends still using RSA over ECC? The NSA and NIST should, in a perfect world, have lost all credibility of any sort given the revelations of poisoned RNGs. It boggles my mind that they are still given any credence let

To piggyback your comment and the depth of the analogy: Mein Kampf is still in publication today. Does any otherwise rational person want it stopped and all copies removed from public libraries in the way they seem to expect from Youtube&#x

IBM advertise their "big iron" systems in Transactions Per Second. A measure of the total system performance; IPC, Buses, caches, etc. They get shit stomped in a traditional CPU bound benchmark. Remember Apples marketing using &qu

With the growing ubiquity of the linux port of svchost.exe(systemd), nested hypervisors, containerization, et al. Rebooting (where feasible) has already become a front line option.

"He only hits you because you made him do it by not listening.", "Well, you were dressed slutty so its your own fault." Your argument is morally reprehensible.

The lander crash could have just as easily been happened using 2 different metric units. It wasn't caused by improper conversion, it was caused by no conversion. Each part assumed the other was using the same unit.

"setterm --reset" is the command you are looking for in most *nix systems.

The $1Bn+ valuation. It's not that a note app can't be successful, but clearly not with SV style funding and expectations.

I don't buy that argument about data liability. I would assume the Salesforce contract indemnifies them from any liability beyond what existing case-law requires. It would be down right negligent by our capitalistic standards for the

I am absolutely winning by my generations standards. I own a home and have little doubt, no student loans, and health insurance that my doctor envies. I can only read articles like this wistfully imagining having some sort of "dispos

Non-Argument. Good luck finding any data on that, no one seems to be keeping any records. Likely in part because of... They can't. Call up an immigration lawyer in another first world country and ask about what would be required. The m

Well they didn't solve the halting problem so it looks like it's just in-house AVR. I give it a year before someone utilizes these services as part of an attack. (Assuming they haven't already.)

There is no RPi vulnerability(in this article). The RPi was just used as a bastion into the internal network. It could have been any SBC. Once your already inside the internal network things get stupid lax. EG. I can't see your Win

Crocodile tears and false modesty? You don't keep your plutocratic station long if you run around telling everyone you hate cheap education because it gives the proles dreadful ideas like "fair wages" and "rights".

No doubt check summing support's been around for a while, ASIC Md5 is dirt cheap. Yes VMware shipped with it about a decade ago in ESXi but that was dependent on host NIC support. OSX may ship with the driver support but I'm havin

The link to the article.... "When Segmentation offload is on and SACK mechanism is also enabled, due to packet loss and selective retransmission of some packets, SKB could end up holding multiple packets, counted by ‘tcp_gso_segs’.&quo

It may well be, I don't use EC2 much at all. Checking is easy enough: ~$ ethtool -k ethX Also on the virtualization side, VMWare VMXNet adapters also support offloading for guests.

No, not "any system". Besides needing SACK enabled (which is by default) you also need segment offloading and non-shite networking hardware that will respect and preserve stupid MSS fields in packets. pending a patch simply disabl

If you see a bridge or a building with cracks and signs of structural weakness, be sure not to tell anyone, you might start a panic. Instead directly contact the engineering firm and give them at least 90 days to rectify the issue before te

The irony in your argument is absolutely breath taking. The footage of the US Military murdering a dozen people, of which 2 worked for the press, was part of leaks for which he now faces charges. "How dare he show the US murdering jour

ECC isn't effective mitigation against Rowhammer either. https://www.vusec.net/projects/eccploit/ tl;dr ECC logic can't cope with 'single' errors involving > 2 bits.

IBM's i Series, modern heir to OS/400 doesn't have a "filesystem" in the traditional sense (but tons of tools to emulate and approximate it). Everything ends up in DB2. I've spent time crawling around the SCS

I don't know any off the top of my head (no, really.) but I'd bet searching DDG for "Hidden Wiki" and using tor hidden services would get you in the right direction, and probably put on a watch list or two.
