What data?

Why does a rail company even need a customer database?

It’s hard to hear what they are trying to say over all the gun fire noise.

People who studied the code speak really fondly about reticulum, however, it’s not as popular for building the lora based mesh networks, because the full stack does not run on the simple microcontroller. You need what is basically a standard PC connected to it. Given that mesh repeaters are usually designed to run off-grid on solar and battery, wasting additional power for a raspberry pi or similar computer would make the project unfeasible.

All while Meshtastic or Meshcore are perfectly happy with the esp32 or nrf microcontrollers. And the nrf ones can run without a direct sunshine for days with the reasonably large battery.

TIL, my house is filled with “advanced hacking equipment”.

That’s terrible… for the real kidnapers.

I’ve patiently waited until the flashing guide for the roborock s8 was out, went to buy the s8 pro ultra, just to discover valetudo has dropped the support, because appearently a different version of the same robot was silently released, that would’ve been turned into a brick if I tried the installation procedure.

Now I have a dumb robot. It does like 95% of what I expect it to do, but I might at least solder an ep32 to the top buttons so that scheduling through the home assistant would be possible

A user copies it without scrutiny, pastes it into the omnibox

User has to type or paste the malicious prompt manually into the box. This is not a bug.

The whole article is a marketing piece to promote NeuralTrust.

The more shocking is that one guy who KNOWS it’s sqlite, but ain’t afraid to admit it!

You should apply for a marketing position in broadcom. The people responsible for the vmware software suite just love to do stunts like this.

Piping scripts directly to bash is a security risk

Nobody has ever explained why. What is the difference between executing a script directly from curl, and adding a repository which downloads a package which contains a script.

Honestly, did the word “drop” change meaning in the past few months, or am I just crazy?

someone with no job

TIL. I’ve only ever heard it as a euphemism for a vagina.

Proxmox is based on Debian, but its installer does not offer you as many options as the base Debian installer. People figured out you can just install debian with your prefered settings and then just slap the proxmox packages on top.

Question for the general public. Why not use the DNS server provided by your ISP?

They already know what websites you visit, because TLS1.2 still leaks the hostname. They might as well provide some useful service in return.

Each of them returns the correct answer.

Physical or digital does not really matter. Gving such a powerful tool to a central bank seems too dangerous. If implemented, it’s not really a question of IF it’s going to be abused, but WHEN it’s going to be abused.

The digital currencies were supposed to give more power to the people, but the Taler is working in the oposite direction.

You’ve pretty accurately described everything that’s wrong with it.

That’s my main problem. They had a chance to make it fully anonymous and fungible, yet decided to implement an intentional vulnerability to reveal the receiving party.

I rarely wish for an opensource project to fail, but Taler is an exception. Offering a digital currency system for the government to use is like sending an efficiency improvement proposal to Auschwitz.
