"How does it work on Windows[..]" This video from Mark Russinovich is a classic explaining it. It is old but still relevant. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AjTl53I_qzY&ra=m "My system should not get in

Your brain is quite robust against cancer and when it gets it, if is often a relatively fast death.

You need to protect anything with relatively fast dividing cells best because this is where the cancer risk is highest. The brain with its slow dividing cells and fast killing tumors is the last thing to protect.

It's getting increasingly common in Germany as well, especially at bakeries and the like. I recently had one at one of the big coffee chains where it offered 10%, 15%, 20% and an unlabeled fourth option. The fourth option went into a

This and the low-tech electrical shower-head are the two everyday Brazilian things that never cease to amaze me.

As someone from the DACH region I very much agree with this. I don't see a shift from typical US opinions to opinions often held in the DACH region. Not at all.

It's fascinating to see how reliant our world is on GPS services (GNSS more precisely, not only location, but especially time) and how we still get even more reliant every day while at the same time we can see how fragile all of this i

Letting the system do things for the user is risky enough. Taking away the unambiguous way to turn the automatism on and off just adds insult to injury. This suggestion is not simplification, it is complication. Personally I'm totally

There used to be pushed.co which was free and pretty good but it seems to have disappeared completely. Does anyone know what happened to them?

When I started with computers, DRAM was understandable by a teenager: RAS, CAS, read, done. Ok, the necessary refresh was always a little pain, but still something manageable. Nowadays, I feel you need three PhD's to even bring up a mi

Also, and in addition, the value of the Bloomberg Terminal is not the UI, it is the consistency. You don't pay for an accelerator and a break pedal, you pay for the 100% guarantee to find them in the place >100k people have been tra

Container escapes are more common than you think. Common enough for AWS not to rely on containers for their serverless functions, common enough for Google to say: "Untrusted code shouldn't rely on the container security boundary

In general running containers rootless is better from a security standpoint and podman makes this much easier. So, yes. This is not my main point though. Both are based on cgroups and cgroups are the wrong tool for the job.

by weinzierl 2mo ago
Before you use no sandbox at all use this or one the many similar projects but it's alway worth remembering that Docker is not a security boundary. It never has been meant to be and never will become one. cgroups are a mechanism design

Also, where I live, radio transmitted the precise time in the most low tech way possible. A person said: "It is XX:XX time with the beep" and this was followed by four beeps, three short, one long, with the end of the last beep si

This is so important, especially in São Paulo. This city has 100000 homeless people living there. Imagine the population of a medium-sized city living with no roof over their head in a city with a population 100x that big.

As exciting as it sounds, but "As a constraint, a GA designer should aim at a system which costs, as of mid-2026, >$1,000⧸month" will make this an elite tool for the privileged. I don't even disagree with the premise tha

If I understand this correctly then Integer becomes a value class and every instance of it loses its object identity. I do not have a lot of knowledge about the details but from the outset it seems like a rather bold move to me.
