To any future reader: this person is a bot farming rage. They are a new account and, according to their comment history, they believe non-white people are genetically predisposed to steal, and poor people are predisposed to rape.

Node software too. I hate it so much I have blacklisted npm and bun in my package manager.

It is also not immediately dangerous to run ksmbd, as 99.9% of users aren’t exposing a SMB share to the internet. Most of them will be shared through a LAN at most, and even on enterprise solutions they’re only accessed through a VPN.

It’s definitely an issue for lateral movement through a network once it’s infected, but that’s not something regular users should worry about, for the most part.

Of course, apply the patch once it’s available, but yeah, this is mostly a nothingburger.

This “protesters should be quiet and not disturb anyone” rethoric is part of the reason why the US and many other places don’t have any real protests.

No, protests should hurt the economy. They should inconvenience people. They should make noise and be heard. And if you don’t like it, join the cause and change the root issue that caused the protests in the first place.

They are not different implementations, they are completely different things. TOTP can’t have remote attestation or settings, it’s just a code. Passkeys are something else, that has some similarities (also generating a time-based code).

I’ve been waiting for taler for so long. I even have the app installed and I’ve played with their kudos.

But support is absolutely non existant, both in europe and the rest of the world. I wish govts pushed a lot more for it, and gave it all the money and resources it needed.

Wero is very rapidly taking over europe, with a lot of important banks now supporting it. It’s mostly businesses that need to start accepting it, at this point.

Ah, yes, their investiment is harvesting a poorer person’s salary, while killing their chance at ownership. Totally fair.

Won’t somebody think of the poor small owners who are exploiting other people’s work and extracting their money without doing anything, just because they were there first to buy the place so nobody else could own it?

Back when I was studying, I had a final exam on my last year (so basically one of the most important exams in my career) that was about PHP. It was 3h, and we had to complete a theory part and then code a bunch of stuff.

I attended that exam while completely drunk. So much so that I don’t remember anything about it. Somehow I didn’t get kicked out.

I genuinely expected to fail it, and instead I got my best grade up to that point, an 8/10.

I’ve had Windows kill itself by doing a BIOS update and deleting the bitlocker keys in the process, on a computer where bitlocker was automatically enabled by the OS without the user knowing, and of course, without any backups of the keys except on a Microsoft account that was only logged in on that computer (the user didn’t know the password for the account either).

I know there’s user error in there, but for an OS that caters to people who barely know how to use a computer, it seems like a terrible choice to do all that.

The theory is that the site just hosts a small JS snippet that locally decodes and shows you your logs.

But yeah, now that you mention it, it would be trivial for the site to get and store the logs, and you wouldn’t even notice.

The QR code contains the panic stack trace text, directly encoded into a URL and a parameter. When you scan it, it goes to the website, which takes the parameter, decodes it and displays it as plain text.

Personally, I think it’s a terrible idea compared to just showing the logs, because now you need internet and a phone with a camera to read a kernel panic log.

Edit: yes, it was Systemd who implemented it.

Back at the beginning of times ethernet, you needed the crossover cables to connect routers to routers, switches to switches or end devices to end devices. They wouldn’t work with the straight cables.

The standard still needs those cables to be crossover, but nowadays the port itself can detect what type of cable you connected, what type of cable it needs, and rewire itself to accept whatever you throw at it.

The same thing happens when you directly connect 2 PCs together without a switch in the middle. But the ports also adapt themselves and work it out.

You could also use a crossover cable, and your devices would figure it out too.

Or the fact that a ton of indie forums had to close or go private because of the excessive scraping.

Well, if they don’t eat, shower, take a walk or rest, never clean their clothes, do any chores or have free time, they can still sleep for ~7h after they park the truck and make sure the load is still secured.

That’s totally not slavery!

I’m with you, but the sad reality is that, unlike Wine devs, AI devs can’t be assumed to act in good faith.

Potential Wine devs who have seen Windows source code will self enforce the rules, because they care about their integrity and the integrity of the project.

AI devs already don’t have an integrity, and they feel smug and superior for actively trying to fool any sort of measure against AI. They also seem to believe AI is the future and isn’t going away, so why bother regulating it if it won’t matter soon.

We need to come up with stricter and more effective ways to regulate and ban AI use, and that’s gonna be the difference between an unusable codebase and a great one in a few years.

Up until very recently (its system drive blew up) I was running a server (raspberry pi zero 2 w) with 512MB of RAM. It werked fine. At any moment I had ~1/4 of the RAM free. And I was running a bunch of services, like ssh, unbound, pi-hole, opentracker and a test website.

I also have another machine with 2GB of RAM running bookstack, an ssh gateway, opentracker, a KMS for activating windows machines, another website, naemon with the thruk frontend and probably something else I’m forgetting abt.

Nitter is currently dead. xcancel hints at potential legal issues (yes, a second wave), and this time it looks serious because a lot of frontends are straight up dead.

I work in tech and I don’t use LLMs. From my experience, they’re catastrophic especially in those positions where they review code/actions. Reviews are the last line of defense against bad code, bugs, vulnerabilities or destructive actions. Giving that role to an RNG parrot that is often confidently wrong is almost suicidal.
