openSSL 1.1.1 is EOL 2023-09-11 which is likely to be the bigger problem for random-distro-XYZ

Why put the commit message there then? You could just use a git-client that adds this text as description for commits. There is generally little use to store automatically generate…

Attack complexity High (chance for an attacker to get anything at all is very low), Availability None (you're not crashing any service that's running in the background) and Confide…

Come on :D CVSS of 7.1, Complexity Low, Availability and Confidentiality High. sure...

This made me look up jpeg2000 support. And then that made me sad :D

Mentioning Greenland ice sheet in this context is always a bit of a red herring. It is important to note that in the language of these simulations no "overshoot" is included in the…

No, the original plot was in MWh. But even for LCOE wikipedia (citing lazard) shows the same 3xfactor between solar/wind and nuclear: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levelized_cost_o…

Democracy dies in darkness.

"when there's clouds and the wind doesn't blow, what happens?" Meteorologically speaking that won't happen over a large enough area like Europe or USA. When there's clouds there's …

That is just to show that nuclear isn't a magical always-on power source that some of the pro-nuclear folks make it out to be. Also: we can install twice the capacity in MW for sol…

Sadly it's missing a native TCP-reassambly. Was caught by suprise by that recently, but there's always pyshark

DFDL ("Daffodil") https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Format_Description_Langua... was made pretty much exactly for describing/parsing binary formats in a schema-like format. It is …

In-place conversion of NTFS? You either still believe in a god or need to google the price of harddrives these days. Honest question tho, why would anybody do in-place conversion o…

It indeed doesn't cover data processed by "a natural person in the course of a purely personal or household activity" But arguably, as soon as you upload stuff to github.com you al…

No, GDPR applies to everyone. The government is proactively only enforcing GDPR vs organizations, private persons need to sue to get GDPR enforcement against each other. Also - sho…

You would have to ask companies that you called how they shared & used your information. You probably can't reject to the data collection as it's based on legitimate interest (frau…

that could still be considered negligent, if it has a CVE and you're using it, you gotta know about it

>>You cannot make another computer do anything. You can only send messages, and the receiver decides how to act on those. By that logic malware doesn't exist. That's the wildest we…
