Grimeton··on Outlook.com is rejecting email from domains without DMARC
The only mistake people make here is to accept that the problem is on their end even after Microsoft has accepted the e-mail but silently discarded it. This leads to the customer impression that the mistake happens on their end and not on Microsoft's.

When I see in my logs that the e-mail has been successfully delivered to their MTA then I don't have a problem.

This happens when there's something that is more important than being the cool manager that's following the latest hype.
Grimeton··on The Ubuntu 26.04 Rust sudo is not compatible with standard sudo
>Seems in Linux land, compatibly, even between distros, is going out the window. :(

That happened 30 years ago. Userland is not compatible. Too many distro related patchese, especially on Debian/Ubuntu.

The only common denominator is libc because daddy Torvalds doesn't allow the kids to break it. That's why things like snap work but come with a full blown os stack inside.

KDE is basically a clone of the Windows UI when it comes to how things work and there's a billion people out there that know how to handle Windows.

So it can't be that much of a hurdle.

You can perfectly write a replacement with advanced features w/o breaking anything. Best example breadth-first implementation of find. It mostly exists because find can't handle statx and so doesn't have access to all file properties like their birthtime.

It's 100% compatible to find plus some additional features. That's why it mentions find's manual for the basics and only points out what was added on top in its own manual.

Yeah "You don't break userspace" refers to the kernel <-> userspace interface (libc) because that's the smallest common denominator and the reason why stuff like snap works.

Besides that userspace has been incompatible between distros for at least 30 years because everyone has that one special patch the library needs on their distro that isn't accepted upstream and breaks things beyond repair.

This was already the case in the 1990s when Applixware shipped 30 different versions of their software on one CD-Rom because it should run on different distros and their versions.

And back then there weren't that many, mostly Red Hat, SuSE and Debian.

Ubuntu is a frozen debian/sid. At least it was back in the day.

CachyOS.

Never been happier.

Ubuntu is african for "I can't install Debian.". At least that's the joke we mad on irc back in the day :-D

Greetings and salutations!

I understood that reference.

Grimeton··on Hungary: Communist-era files released, up to 60k former agents revealed
>1, this should have been released long ago cause many of these people are already dead.

Best that can happen. People will be disappointed but that's it. If the IMs are still alive it can get really ugly really quick.

G-Series is what you're looking for.
Grimeton··on Apple Will Scan Public iCloud Links for Harmful Content Starting in iOS 27.3
The fact that Apple doesn't see the link alone as the "knowledge gate" or "access restriction" says it all.

Ah yes, making the same mistake again.

You can build a kernel yourself, you know?
Grimeton··on Leaking Secrets from Air-Gap Computers by Spelling Radio Signals from RAM (2024)
There are tons of ways to make air gappped systems transmit data. They all include the installation of some malware and have become more expensive and less usable over time.

Back in the day with crt screens you could just capture the frequencies transmitted when creating the picture and look at the copy straight away.

No malware. No direct contact. And it worked over rather big distances.

Javascript and people doing things with it that they shouldn't is at the core of the problem.

Grimeton··on 16-bit Windows (Windows 1.x, 2.x, 3.0, 3.1, etc.) on 64-bit Windows
The 16bit support was removed with windows 2008. It wasn't just the "DOS" support (NTVDM). They also removed the last OS/2 and SFU layer with 2k8 iirc.
Grimeton··on The Fall of Scientific American
It's really funny how it is always right-wing backlash and how the magazine's independence is at stake when the owners want it to remain neutral.

The sheer idea that people from all political sides could be complaining because they don't want politics everywhere never comes to mind.

Also the fact that Helmuth fundamentally altered the magazine's course by pushing politics is completely ignored. Instead, when the owners have to forcefully correct the course it's being sold as threatening the magazine's independence.

Same old, same old...

Grimeton··on France's supermarket fridges were vulnerable online for months
>85% ran software with known security flaws. That includes 527 older controllers Danfoss no longer supports. Only 195 had every known fix.

As long as the fridges are used the controller has to be supported.
