Weird take to claim "generally intelligent frontier" (whatever rhat means) and restrict availability based on "offensive" cyber security alone (how can this be handled at all compa…

Is this an admission that you accept to implement complete garbage?

RT threads can be prempted by higher prio RT, and IIRC some kernel threads run at the highest prio. Plus you can be prempted by SMI, an hypervisor, etc

I dont know if the Python in Excel architecture as changed but last time i saw it, it was insane and unusable for me (data sent to MS servers where a linux container executes pytho…

The USA spies all the time on everybody so by your own def they should be not really an ally of anybody.

I'm using OVH and the notion of it "just working" is all relative. It's tolerable, but certainly a bit buggy, and with far less services than aws and co. It is also cheap, but give…

The linux kernel already works perfectly fine with various base page sizes.

I've been trying to use auditing rules for a usage that seems completely in scope and obvious to prioritize from a security point of view (tracing access to EFS files and/or the ke…

Rust is possible and proves that you don’t need "optimizations" to optimize, but that optimizations are actually possible. Now that's kind of irrelevent for most of the article foc…

Probably when writing "hate AI" here the meaning was hate the often useless text chat bot. Google Photo face recognition was there before the new hipe and is probably not designate…

> that's one of the (inadequate) methods that the CA/BF permits for verification at issuance Why inadequate (in the absolute)? This can be automated and let's encrypt allows verifi…

Something like ebpf.

"It blows my mind that a kernel driver with the level of proliferation in industry could make it out the door apparently without even the most basic level of qualification." It was…

What is the value of writing all of that, compared to the simpler approach? What will you want next in your quest of purity? Forbidding inline styles in the name of security, maybe…

There was actually "SUA" after "SFU", only removed in Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2.

It's funny how cancelled projects are somehow making people almost more "nostalgic" than projects that actually shipped. One of the reason may be that cancelled projects don't need…

The C++ API bound forever to the gcc 2.95 ABI IIRC was also an "interesting" choice. Sure with success they would certainly have engineered a way forward, out of necessity, but if …

Nt has a dynamic HAL layer to adapt it to platforms. I'm not sure if it was publicly documented, but in any case yes the source code leak don't harm that kind of port, even if you …

This article inverse the notion of free software and of copyleft...

And chose an architecture really interesting where everybody will recode an half-baked version of the work-in-progress protocol so each desktop-env/window-manager will have differe…

I find xrdp quite slow esp compared to a Windows RDP server. This is with the xrdp that comes with Debian 12. Maybe newer versions are faster.

"Portable" i could see a few use cases. No MSIL and only native code, however...

Also, iirc there is no Windows department anymore at MS. Hard to make a great platform in these conditions.

Unfortunately _FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 is documented as making some conforming program fail, and it seems hard to find precise informations on this subject, so i'd be hesitant to use it, …

The problem could be abuse of a dominant position. Maybe Mac has now a market share good enough so that MS can pretend they are not in a dominant position in this sector, although …
