Sorry, it was meant to be USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics).

- Hired a journalist on some mid-size news company to tarnish the company’s reputation. I never imagined they would bother to do this, but I was wrong. - Used an APT for hire but I…

On the other hand, my first self-funded startup got destroyed by a VC funded venture. They had a worse product but far better marketing and they used every dirty trick in book to t…

So was the company the best in their field? I sometimes see small / badly managed companies pull such interview processes and it is ridiculous. You would expect they would hire 100…

Do a16z invest in small scale AI companies? Or are they only doing series B+ investments?

C++ - Botan C - Redis

It is just a precaution measure, some of the malware like DDOS Bots might persist more than 6 months. Honestly, an immutable OS would be more ideal but it isn’t very realistic. If …

This is a pretty good guide. I also recommend manually reading/checking the the BIOS EEPROM and re-installing the OS from scratch at least every 6 months. This should mostly elimin…

You should absolutely never release a commercial binary to public with debug symbols. There are ways to convert symbol names on the crash report server, so the claim that you can g…

How did they target the group though, did they just scan the internet traffic and said, oh wow there is a group of people who only talk through Signal, or were there another preced…

YouTube is horrendous, I keep reporting couple of animal abuse videos but platform just keeps them. Some of these videos especially with small animals like hamsters have millions o…

Flatpak isn’t ideal and it has lots of room for improvement but what is the better alternative? I would say that at least Flatpak is on the right direction.

What is the use case? I’m guessing just to store secrets but then why not just use a HSM or even yubikey.

Are shadows really that annoying, I’m willing to bet that most of the gamers would just glance over these defects.

Allow your software to display ads, and other people purchase them directly. It might be hard to implement it in a week but a hastily put AWS & stripe solution might work. If you d…

Animals definitely do dream, any cat or dog owner can tell that but even smaller animals like rats do also dream. We are vastly overestimating the cognitive capacities of humans, w…

Is it possible to build a system where nobody owns private property but is happy? Very unlikely but theoretically possible. Main problem is that current ruling class is mostly comp…

But you can just issue an identical certificate to an existing website's certificate via the private key, it doesn't even need to enter to CT logs, it will have 100% identical fing…

In my opinion, most of the governments must have obtained access to numerous Certificate Authority private keys by now. As a result, they would not only be logging DNS records but …

I’m new to Linux kernel programming & eBPF (just started last week) and I’m having major troubles with eBPF verifier. I honestly feel like it would be easier for me to write a kern…

If MSI ever updates the BIOS of your motherboard with new / assumed to be unleaked Intel keys, then you will need to reflash it with the new BIOS. So, you need to do a manual BIOS …

I guess lesson learned here is: Always self-sign the secure boot keys, do not use any third-party keys. Unfortunately, this complicates the kernel & boot loader upgrade process as …

It is so funny to me that every time BTC price rises, FUD articles come out of the woods. I wonder if somebody built an automated process for this, or there is still a human elemen…

If OpenAI has no moat, how come nobody has built a better alternative to GPT-4 yet?
