flipped··on The Israeli spyware firm that accidentally just exposed itself
Jia Tan wouldn't be interested in secret spyware firms. They hide their code in plain sight.

Regulation never works in the interwebs*
flipped··on The Israeli spyware firm that accidentally just exposed itself
Regulated by whom exactly? Since you can't even read, the spyware is being exclusively used by all govts of the world. Regulation never works, if you need a secure phone use GrapheneOS.

There's always a comment for "regulation" by an ignorant HN normie under anything related to surveillance. I feel like it's mostly bots at this point.

flipped··on Kernighan on Programming
In the age of LLMs, debugging is going to be the large part of time spent.
flipped··on The Book of PF, 4th edition
Nftables has a really good doc site https://wiki.nftables.org/wiki-nftables/index.php/Main_Page. I wouldn't rely on any book
flipped··on The Book of PF, 4th edition
https://toni.cunyat.net/2019/11/nftables-vs-pf-ipv4-filterin.... According to this article, it depends on usecase.
flipped··on I Like GitLab
Forgejo scales too, even for a large org it's a perfect choice.
flipped··on Many Small Queries Are Efficient in SQLite
Has anyone tried using distributed versions of sqlite, such as rqlite? How reliable is it?
flipped··on I Like GitLab
Forgejo does all that while being lightweight and run by a non-profit. Gitlab is awfully resource hungry.
flipped··on Nvidia contacted Anna's Archive to access books
Considering AA gave them ~500TB of books, which is astonishing (very expensive to even store for AA), I wonder how much nvidia paid them for it? It has to be atleast close to half a million?
flipped··on Singularity Rootkit: SELinux bypass and netlink filter (ss/conntrack hidden)
Most workloads are cloud-native these days so a k8s/docker rootkit would make a lot more sense.

>persistence I guess no point in having any

The most obvious reason would be the fear of patching a vulnerability which the attacker used to gain initial access. Persistence is required.

flipped··on Singularity Rootkit: SELinux bypass and netlink filter (ss/conntrack hidden)
I am hearing first time of a sandbox escape in QubesOS. Can you link the source?

With secure boot enabled, is it mandatory for kernel modules to be signed with same key so they can be loaded? I was not aware of this.
flipped··on Cyberattack in Venezuela demonstrated precision of U.S. capabilities
Every govt's main agenda is to control and strip away any rights of the citizens. Directly or indirectly, that's their main motive. It will keep getting worse until people realize that anarchism will be the only choice.
flipped··on Cyberattack in Venezuela demonstrated precision of U.S. capabilities
Every govt is. But whoever has most power is most corrupted.
flipped··on Cyberattack in Venezuela demonstrated precision of U.S. capabilities
Third world countries lack the resources to secure their ICS and SCADA. Corrupted US govt doesn't even need NSA's capabilities for this.
flipped··on Interactive eBPF
For all it's innovative way of kernel programming, isn't eBPF a huge attack surface? Even a paradise for rootkit devs, perfectly able to hide using eBPF features.
flipped··on Gentoo Linux 2025 Review
That's a very well painted picture for what to expect. I am gonna try it soon, since it's been on my task list for too long. Thanks :)
flipped··on Gentoo Linux 2025 Review
I don't understand the time sink. Isn't spending time knowing intricate details about your system a good thing? You know better than most if you've gone that deep.
flipped··on Anna's Archive loses .org domain after surprise suspension
Darknet term is mostly used to refer onion services, which have been around since 2004. Freenet was never meant for anonymity, both have separate goals.
flipped··on Gentoo Linux 2025 Review
How easy is it to administer gentoo servers? Is it on-par with nix/arch or harder?
flipped··on Anna's Archive loses .org domain after surprise suspension
I don't think the kind of crowd IPFS attracts would wanna use the default config. Most ould choose to configure according to their setup.
flipped··on Anna's Archive loses .org domain after surprise suspension
Stable and yet never used in live env. It's being rewritten and not at all stable. I don't expect it to become the standard anyway.
flipped··on Anna's Archive loses .org domain after surprise suspension
You are being pedantic and annoying. Why would you even respond in off-topic response? Your comments have served nothing to the topic on-hand.

Namecoin sounds very promising, first time hearing about it.
flipped··on Anna's Archive loses .org domain after surprise suspension
They don't own the network. The people who run the relays do. v2 wasn't shutdown in an instant. It was necessary and you could have just redirected your users to v3 and tell them to use it instead but you had to whine about your short-commings on Tor?

It's not only for high-security. It's for the state-of-the-art anonymity.

Financial freedom and private transactions. It's also mined on consumer hardware making it far more decentralized than bitcoin.

LE relies on opsec failures which is very clear on their busts. They are incompetent hypocrite fools.

Freenet is promising but it's not even fully done. Experimental stage. I am also skeptic of their more usage of LLM generated code these days.
