Orygin··on How Monero’s proof of work works
Isn't the point of Proof of Stakes that you hold some amount of coin to exert that control. If someone or some group get majority stake, doing anything nefarious would result in crashing the coin value, and thus nuke their own coin value?
Orygin··on Windows quality update: Progress we've made since March
It's always the exact same distro, and it has been for 10+ years. Nobody is recommending it anymore but users still come with issues due to that.

There are different distros for different taste/needs, but Ubuntu always has been the worst choice of all.

Orygin··on Copy Fail
But they most probably did get paid for it, they have ads for their shit all over the website.
Orygin··on Copy Fail
They did not make a disclosure to the distros
Orygin··on Belgium stops decommissioning nuclear power plants
> That same government hasn't exactly managed any of its semi-public companies particularly well: the national telco is for shit, postal service is nearly bankrupt, railways are mismanaged and underfunded, etc.

In fairness, it's not the same gov that nuked the public service than the one in power now. But on the flip side, the selloff of public services to private sector was a success and achieved the stated goals: Destroy it from the inside and use that as an excuse for more liberalization.

Orygin··on Belgium stops decommissioning nuclear power plants
Belgium's reactors are really old, and have lots of issues. They have been dragging their feet for decades on the subject and instead of building new reactors 10-20 years ago, they are now un-decomissioning older reactors..
Orygin··on Where the goblins came from
Then maybe stop training and make a real fix?

If you need to put baby guardrails on your model because the training is effed up, maybe you should rethink how you make these models and how much control you really have on it.

The incentive previously was having more secure software making a name for yourself. The incentive now is finding the most noisy vulnerability so you can push FUD to sell your AI software.
Orygin··on Copy Fail
It used to be done for fame and visibility. Give a marketable name and a website, your exploit will be talked about and your name will shine in the industry.

Now it's done by an LLM to sell more LLMs services. Disclosure is botched to have the most sensational title so more click more upsell.

Orygin··on Copy Fail
Considering they kinda botched the disclosure to Linux distros, I guess they wanted something most sensational to sell more licenses.

No issue on FF Macos with a touchpad
Orygin··on Where the goblins came from
It didn't seem that deep to me. They just saw an issue with Goblins, dissected the word from the model, then it appeared again in the next version without them knowing exactly how or why.

Goes to show it's all vibes when making these models. The fix is literally a prompt that says not to talk about goblins...

Orygin··on Zed 1.0
Yes that was the primary issue I had when testing Zed in the past. Keyboard layout not working properly, shortcuts being unusable or un-remappable. Sad to see it's still the case for 1.0
Orygin··on Three men are facing charges in Toronto SMS Blaster arrests
It's also happened in France ~but google refuses to find me a source~: https://www.lemonde.fr/en/pixels/article/2026/02/13/eight-to...

Does not seem related to Chinese nationals here, but standard scam SMS

Orygin··on Framework Laptop 13 Pro
Is it a LPCAMM2 module though?
Orygin··on Framework Laptop 13 Pro
They should have tested something else, like a raw H265 4K video or something. Can't imagine "pro" users would be amazed by the battery life of watching netflix.
Orygin··on WebUSB Extension for Firefox
It is enabled without extension in Chrome browsers. This is a common complain about Firefox is that they don't implement the Google draft spec.

It will probably come natively one day in Firefox, and we should push back against such attack vectors.

Orygin··on WebUSB Extension for Firefox
Except the sandbox is a huge target already, and breaking it means any website can now access and mess with your usb devices. If you can develop an exploit for Chrome's WebUSB system, you potentially have millions upon millions of targets available.

Downloading an arbitrary executable can be made safe (via multiple avenues: trust, anti virus software, audits, artifact signing, reproducible builds, etc) and once the software is vetted, it exposes (or it should at least) little to no attack vector during daily use.

Orygin··on WebUSB Extension for Firefox
A native binary can be verified by anti malware systems, and once installed and working, poses no security risk.

A 0day in a browser for the WebUSB system would allow any website to mess with arbitrary USB devices connected to your computer.

While the browser sandbox is generally safe, it is also a huge target, and with a security risk like that, it wouldn't surprise me if it's a prime target for black hats.

Orygin··on WebUSB Extension for Firefox
Running directly in the browser is also not how I'd want to do USB.
Orygin··on WebUSB Extension for Firefox
> breaking computing for everyone else

How is not implementing a Draft spec, which may compromise security badly, breaking computing?

Overreacting much?

Orygin··on WebUSB Extension for Firefox
Or you can just not give a loaded shotgun to every browser user on the off chance they need to interact with 1 (one) usb device per year.
Orygin··on WebUSB Extension for Firefox
No thanks. I'll accept it in my browser when they fix the security implications this raises, and when the Spec is no longer in draft.
Orygin··on Vercel April 2026 security incident
Most of my services run with 1vCPU and 512Mb of ram. You don't need huge specs for most normal applications.

> can not be expected to have enough depth of knowledge in their brain to actually talk about

What is the use of a CEO if not to have enough depth of knowledge about the different aspects of running a business?

Like what? Poor little CEO that doesn't understand anything about the world and how to run a company. Seems like helplessness is expected at every stage.

Orygin··on Vercel April 2026 security incident
What use is a CEO if they can't take the lead in times like this?

If they are unprepared frankly they suck as CEO and should be thrown out. If only competency was a requirement for these jobs...

Orygin··on Discourse Is Not Going Closed Source
Yeah I found this comment to be weird. At least the XZ backdoor was found before it went live anywhere. How many companies were hit by the Solarwind supply chain attacks?
Orygin··on The dangers of California's legislation to censor 3D printing
You proved my point. Doesn't really have to do with the gun owning population but to the unique geography of the country giving them a massive advantage.
Orygin··on Tell HN: Fiverr left customer files public and searchable
The job market in such society would not be the same as it is now.

If you are certified, chances are you will have lots of choices to work.

> has not been overrun by the many wars in Europe for last 200 years is that every citizen is expected to fight back

Lol this is so gun-brained, even for an American.

Switzerland has not been "overrun" because they are in the freaking mountains. Gun or not, good luck invading mountain cliffs.
