The article also talks about NetNut, which was embed in many apps released into the app stores.

The article at the end talks about how is very easy for arbitrary apps from app stores can install a residential proxy on your phone. 10 years ago, apps had to explicitly state if …

These are not the worst graphs in the world... Sure the bottom left axis is not labeled, but it still conveys the point correctly. The growth between 2023->2024->2025->2026 is grow…

The thread here doesn't explain why GPL might be better. So I'll try. You're correct, with MIT there are a lot less restrictions. I can make GPL or pretty much any other license. I…

Reading your comment made me segfault a little. You don't understand the argument of why people might want to install their own OS on a device they own. And then say you won't buy …

If I'm reading any of this correctly, this doesn't apply to hardware attestation. It seems apple has a service, with an easily rotated key and an agreement with providers. If the k…

Maybe not so doable. The whole point of io_uring is to reduce syscalls. So you end up just three. io_uring_setup, io_uring_register, io_uring_enter There is now a memory buffer tha…

In 2007 several people and I started NYC Resistor, a hacker space in Brooklyn, completely unaware of this resistors in New Jersey. It was over 10 years later that any of us heard o…

For now. 20XX is the year of the Linux desktop.

Nix in production is more common than you think, even at scale. It's hard to know what exactly your security concerns are here, but if you look at the current ecosystem of using co…

This again is a limitation of mapping labels to IMAP, which does not understand labels. Both the Gmail web interface and the Gmail API allow the ability to set all the labels for a…

Long article, but the fundamental premise is that IMAP, SMTP, and POP are all you need. And that email clients are good... This is just false IMHO. There is a reason why both Fastm…

The same is true, if you rename a .png to .jpg and opening it with an image viewer, it will render.

File extensions are just a hint about what the file might be and have nothing to do with what the file actually is. If the server sets the MIME type, the browser will use that as t…

I'm not so sure most people would agree with you. Though I think plenty would. I dare say that developers like environment variables more than before. Consider that Docker images, …

Did you just start a sentence with "But"!?!? My 7th grade english teacher is not happy with you! (I know there is nothing wrong with it, but some teachers really dislike it)

You should look into why cities use smooth asphalt over concert which would be significantly less maintenance. Cars driving around create a lot of noise. Driving on a rough surface…

Population of the world in 1950 was 2.5 billion. The population of the world has over tripled. This world put a lot of scaling pressure on everything. I didn't think plastics are u…

You may not remember GameSharks, but those things did you exactly what you suggest. As do most game cheat engines. Editing the state, directly in RAM, without the program's knowled…

I started with MySQL in 2006 for my personal projects, but what first won me over to psql was those commands. Today I use CLIs like usql to interact with MySQL and SQLite so I can …

It's sad that basically a static page is getting hugged to death.

Agreed, raid is not backup. But restoring 50TB of data from actual backups take a lot of time. I like BTRFS to a fair degree, but thae fact that _any_ two drives failing in its "ra…

I think this is undercutting the announcement. A baofeng is a specialized tool specifically for RX/TX 2m and 70cm analog audio radio waves. Of course it can listen to walkie talkie…
