I believe you might be limited by your imagination just how bad out of tree third party drivers can be. We're talking about hardware with DMA access here. It's trivial to create a situation that can not be fixed in the kernel (wit

That's just a technicality. There is no "EU" tax so the institutions does not have the billions to give away. They can however secure loans so that is the method being used. But make no mistake what is happening here. Look at

They're certainly trying. Had you asked me before the full scale invasion, I would have answered differently. But Ukraine still stands, and it's looking more and more like a Finland-like situation. After all the repatrionization p

How are they similar? One is taking a picture, one is a permanent installation recording every movement in a public area. What country allows citizens to mount private surveillance cameras in public places without a license?

The only sovereignty being threatened here is Ukraine's. That's the important bit. Russia needs to source soldiers from prisoners and North Koreans.

American hegemony happened by chance, and the dollar just won the reserve currency lottery? Granted, not every war was a net win but that war machine is uniquely expensive and it may be sacrifice the public is willing to pay. But it probabl

Not sure if sarcasm or some type of counterfactual history? It does not matter how we ended up here, but we have an obligation to select for the least bad outcome.

US had interests in the Ukraine because it was a buffer state. By sacrificing a whole country to Putin, NATO suddenly has enemy neighbors.

And the US did not have interests in Ukraine? As if the past two decades never happened?

Before that there was the drawn out conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. The amount of refugees was staggering. Do take the time to check the facts sometime where those refugees ended up. How many did Germany accept? How many did Sweden take?

If all you want is the plaintext logs, there's no need to bother with special products. Just point syslog in the right direction as if it was 1995. Everything can log to syslog already. Things like Splunk, Graylog and Kibana are mostly

Of course it is. Is this controversial anywhere? I would expect surveillance cameras to be regulated in most parts of the world, certainly around Europe. In the Netherlands I believe you need to register such cameras with the local police a

You are not allowed to put up unlicensed surveillance cameras in public places, no.

Be careful what you wish for, as the saying goes. I have seen so many times (in private organizations) clearly inefficient processes getting ripped out, only to be replaced with much more inefficient ones. Sometimes there are no shortcuts:

GDPR does not require a consent banner. If you want to process the user's personal data outside what is strictly necessary, you need permission. One way to get that permission is for the user to specifically consent to it. It does not

Email is just the protocol. What you're really saying is that http-based protocols make more powerful tools possible. It's not really enough to state your case. You have to do the work. On the surface, the kernel developers are pr

It's an interesting phenomenon where people keep coming out of the woodwork and criticize the most successful software development project in history for doing it wrong. They're not micro kernel! They're not TDD! They&#

Any site like Stack Exchange is sure to rely on a handful of really dedicated users who live for their subject of special interest. It is an ingenious way of extracting value from the free work of these users. But answering question and tea

Learning assembly is what finally made programming "click" for me. With a solid intuition for instruction sets, pointers and adressing modes I could suddenly reason about programs on another lever. I have found good results with m

It's a bit thin solution though, isn't it? As you say, it's dependent on both specific CA store and resolver behaviour. It's probably going to be robust enough on the most common SSL libraries, such as OpenSSL. But if we

Not really. PKI has always been that way since before the web. Mainly because the use cases are so varied and it there is the tendency to support every possibility under the sun. For the longest time the web PKI lacked a singular view on wh

Still, those permissions are standard Linux permissions. So the argument that Linux is less secure than Android is a little hard to understand. A little more specificity might help.

Where does the 50x figure come from and what types of malware does it include? It doesn't really match neither my experience or pricing on the grey exploit market. Malware has a wide definition however, and if you include all the spywa
