    M-x cua-mode enables a variety of “traditional” keybinds such as C-x / C-c / C-v for cut / copy / paste

    Well if it’s a full disk encryption exploit that still requires hardware access I imagine it would have been made for a 3-letter govt org or something

    At least in the case of sqlite, rusqlite pulled in 5 or so in total whereas Go had a single library that was a thin wrapper around sqlite, and integrated into the stdlib interface.…

    I’m not arguing on quality of the library, I’m arguing on not getting pwned by the sheer number of transitive dependencies

    This is probably going to sound generic / repetitive, but my biggest complaint about Rust is the package management situation, which is entirely the result of the developer mindset…

    [edit: TFA addresses this, though I still find crazy 90% accuracy overall vs 20% accuracy for curl] Is this suspected vulns or actual vulns? If I recall correctly, it produced 5 fo…

    Aren't most piracy services free though nowadays? This quote is at least referencing pirates that sell the pirated content.

    How does a company even consider this while the CFO is privately saying the books / revenue accounting are not ready for public scrutiny? Edit: Or has so much somehow changed in tw…

    Are we not going to talk about the literal CFO saying their books aren’t up to rigorous reporting standards and need to wait until 2027?

    Built on meaning the technology is using Git under the hood, not that it is developed using git. Edit: Breaking down the “word salad”: > Radicle is a peer-to-peer code collaboratio…

    Radicle CI does exist but it is admittedly fairly early on in development

    Since the exploit can be mitigated by simply blacklisting the AF_ALG module, why didn’t they release an advisory to disable the problematic module (which AFAIU is hardly used), and…

    Their PoC does as you say, but is built upon arbitrary modification of the page cache, which could be abused for the other things

    Not by default but tools like agent-sandbox.nix (bwrap, seccomp) or other nixpak (just bwrap but more popular) can provide those capabilities if you want in a fairly simple interfa…

    That’s fair, NixOS avoids the direct stuff from Docker itself but if you’re basing on an Alpine image or something that would probably be more minimal / smaller

    Comment #47875529
