0xdeadb00f··on Elon's Giant Package
What Elon wants and what Elon delivers are two different things. We should know this by now.
0xdeadb00f··on Elegant six-page proof reveals the emergence of random structure
These look really cool! Might check them out
0xdeadb00f··on Apple’s Private Relay can cause the system to ignore firewall rules
Completely tangential but I had no idea (what I assume to be remnants of) FreeBSD's pf firewall is included, and works, in standard MacOS.
0xdeadb00f··on The Chinese government is hunting down Uyghurs around the world with help
Where is the UN in all of this? Nowhere to be seen.

Ukraine has been met with incredible support from the west and all over the world (and that's a good thing! I am in support of Ukraine too).

But where is the support for the Uyghurs? This has been going on far before the Ukraine conflict. This is awful and it needs to be stopped. I see less and less support for the Uyghurs as time goes on, and it saddens me to no end.

0xdeadb00f··on The Front-End Developer's Guide to the Terminal
Indeed.
0xdeadb00f··on Snapchat’s product is booming
My friends (we're in our 20s), also share the same disgust for snapchat's discover page.
0xdeadb00f··on A Tesla vehicle using ‘Smart Summon’ appears to crash into a $3.5mm private jet
There seems to be a very very clear disconnect between Tesla car's actual capabilities, their marketing claims, and the stuff they say to cover their asses legally.
0xdeadb00f··on The Front-End Developer's Guide to the Terminal
Generally, yes. But some guides or tutorials don't respect this convention and use any number of chars including the author's own personal prompt. (I see `>` used often too).
0xdeadb00f··on NSA and CIA spied on by using data harvesting advertiser networks
A taste of their own medicine, eh?
0xdeadb00f··on K-9 Mail 6.000
People tell me most of Inbox's features have been integrated into Gmail now. But it just isn't the same..
0xdeadb00f··on Self-Hosting Bitwarden on DigitalOcean
Actually it could be MSSQL I may have misread. I haven't checked the docs for that one.
0xdeadb00f··on Psychic Signatures in Java
GCM is not without it's own pitfalls though, however.
0xdeadb00f··on In defense of swap: common misconceptions (2018)
1GB for 50 tabs seems reasonable to me considering for me it sucks around the same amount of memory for like 15-20 tabs.
0xdeadb00f··on Self-Hosting Bitwarden on DigitalOcean
The stack is DotNet C# + MySql iirc. I wonder how much of that 2G is the DotNet runtime stuff
0xdeadb00f··on The case for LineageOS and the PinePhone
The "usability" thing is quite frankly, bullshit.

Sandboxed play services is quite literally play services you're allowed to deny permissions to, it offers way more compatibility than microg which replaces play services with it's own thing

0xdeadb00f··on Self-Hosting Bitwarden on DigitalOcean
Wow. This is insanely shitty if you ask me. I can't think of any non-malicious reason why it's done this way.

I recommend using vaultwarden instead to self-host bitwarden: https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden

0xdeadb00f··on Arbitrary file write vulnerability in GNU gzip's zgrep utility
Yes! Actually I remember now being surprised to find out Jason had written it. His git repository is full of neat and interesting projects.
0xdeadb00f··on Arbitrary file write vulnerability in GNU gzip's zgrep utility
I didn't know pass was "GNU". I also recall it being pretty well written.
0xdeadb00f··on Request to remove tracking from Go websites
They literally are though
0xdeadb00f··on Tails 5.0~beta1: Call for testing
I'm an avid hater of systemd, but I've come around to kind of just accept that it'll never go away. It is a shame, but I think it's "won".
0xdeadb00f··on Tails 5.0~beta1: Call for testing
I used to recommend heads instead of tails but now I can't do that anymore seeing as the latest update to their git repos was way back in march 2019.

It needs an update desperately, but I think it's abandonware at this point.

0xdeadb00f··on iViewed your API keys
This is so true. And something sadly I don't think enough Australians are aware of.
0xdeadb00f··on Felix – TUI file manager with Vim-like key mapping
Never understood the need for these kinds of terminal file managers.

I played around with Ranger back in the day, it was fun. But I always went straight back to standard CLI Unix tools - ls, cp, mv, etc. I just find I don't need a graphical file browser like this.

0xdeadb00f··on Can You Insert Hardware Trojan Spyware IP into an IC at the Fab? Yes
> It's unlikely something like this was (or will ever be) successfully pulled off.

Why do you assume this? Surely any number of the three/four letter agencies could pull this off with ease, if they haven't already.

0xdeadb00f··on Happy Tax Season, Crypto Bros
Hard doubt any "crypto bro" bothered to research anything about KYC.
0xdeadb00f··on Why I quit this battle
> Long story short, their CISO told me on the phone that what I found wasn't a "bug", and that if they did a bug bounty program, they'd go bankrupt.

I have no sympathy for these companies. Fix your shit, secure your users. Don't? Well I guess I'm posting these non-bugs all over the net for criminals to enjoy.

0xdeadb00f··on Insider Trading at Coinbase
I mean to be truthful I don't find it that sketchy, but clearly somebody does
0xdeadb00f··on Understanding Anonymity vs. Privacy (2021)
"Safety is the precautions that keep me safe"? That doesn't sound right at all.
0xdeadb00f··on US cryptocurrency expert jailed for helping North Korea evade sanctions
Because how can they prove how much he helped them and that NK didn't just find the majority of that stuff on their own without his help?
0xdeadb00f··on Insider Trading at Coinbase
These are people who use coinbase (and I assume work for coinbase too) for sketchy crypto trading. Already not the smartest.
