modshatereality··on Podman in Linux
"the vulnerability" means one specific vulnerability in docker or somesuch "privileged container" i presume. there are also some sleeping in the kernel code that userns opens up, and even outright intentionally allow, that were previously not on the radar.

ultimately we must consider userns vs privileged-ns a fork in the road. one direction sweeps privilege concerns under the rug, and opens up new attack surface today leaving the door open for more non-obvious problems tomorrow. the other relies on highly competent engineers that know the nuances of the system they are working with, and have strong will to stomp out needless complexity from design to implementation.

modshatereality··on IMF report suggests credit scores could soon be based on web browsing history
Loan denied because you let your house guests use your wifi? great future y'all are building here. google can't even correctly profile my user-agent and these companies will be a source for CREDIT SCORING data? this is a failed experiment before it even begins. Capitalism is officially a dead-end now, IMO, since this is a possible future.

Mistake was killing flash instead of boiling it down to a more minimal API and just using that, instead of spending the last 10 years poorly reinventing flash.

modshatereality··on Linux Kernel Defence Map
I've had kernel panic in nouveau GPU driver after typing reset into tty2. Crashes happen, and the more you deviate from the herd, the more crashes you will encounter.

100% efficient? their capabilities degrade over time, and they are basically toxic waste when they are to be disposed of.

modshatereality··on Who will pay to protect tech giants from rising seas?
last time this was posted: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27970880

what kind of fool tries to fight against the ocean, and bill the rest of society for it?

modshatereality··on Who Will Pay to Protect Tech Giants from Rising Seas?
They were all warned long ago about glacial melt. You cannot stop the ocean. Am I really supposed to be concerned about the bilionaire property owners, NPR? Here's the winning strategy: stop building on the coastline so then in 50-200 years when this is an actual issue, we have already moved on. If you waste any resources trying to "fight back" against the ocean, they better be YOUR OWN funds, not the peoples.

Ok IF you are really going to try and battle the ocean then the way to do it is to go all-in and move your high rises into the water. Then you can take your yachts to work.

modshatereality··on Chimera Linux: a Linux distribution based on FreeBSD userland and LLVM
Let's hope thats it because the only logical alternative I can think of is that they want the ability to ship binaries with proprietary modifications, or allow others to do the same.

modshatereality··on Fastly Outage
reddit taught me to never trust a mod, so it does have some purpose still. i think without glaringly bad examples of how (not) to run a community based site, we would be doomed to repeat it's mistakes.

modshatereality··on New dark matter map reveals cosmic mystery
They have observed discrepencies in the calculations, meaning something is either wrong with the formula, or something unobservable actually does exist and manipulates the universe in such an (edit: so far) unexplainable way.
