  • MS will erect another campus and things will go back to "normal". Hopefully this will last at this time...

  • Thanks for the video link. Very interesting. This is how all computers will be built eventually. So seize the means of computation until we can...

  • Google engineers want to introduce DRMs for web pages, making ad-blocking near-impossible in the browser
  • Google will just say that pages with DRM will rank higher in their search and it's all done.

  • Is it possible to completely hide all reverse proxy traffic from a VPS provider?
  • You could try destination NAT with netfilter/iptables (DNAT) and terminate TLS on your home server.

    This way packets will be forwarded to the home server without beign decrypted on the VSP.

  • Worldwide Server-side Cache Poisoning on All Akamai Edge Nodes ($50K+ Bounty Earned)

    So one could have replace a JS file with one fetched from attacker controlled server for any site behind Akamai like LastPass or PayPal. That JS could have exfiltrated all the secrets from these sites on the client side (post decryption) or replace account numbers with their own on behalf of the user.

  • Torvalds added that Rust isn't that terrible in the end; "it's not Perl".

    Norton 360 Now Comes With a Cryptominer – Krebs on Security

    > “Norton is pretty much amplifying energy consumption worldwide, costing their customers more in electricity use than the customer makes on the mining, yet allowing Norton to make a ton of profit,” tweeted security researcher Chris Vickery. “It’s disgusting, gross, and brand-suicide.”

    Microsoft's new dystopian 'Productivity Score' tool lets your boss track how much you use email, Teams, and even whether you turn your camera on during meetings [Business Insider]
  • BTW: Google does the same for Andorid (get your data dump and see for yourself) - every application start and stop is recorded, metadata from your e-mail, etc...;

    NOT surveillance, this is to help optimize technology use. /s

  • This is just "telemetry". We have that in all Windows (including server) for years now... nothing to worry. This is NOT surveillance. /s

  • Rust vs Go in Backend Web Development - Qvault
  • Performance metrics generally put Rust squarely ahead of Go, but not by a lot.

    Can people stop contradicting themselves when comparing X with Rust just to make X look less horrible, please!

  • "3 billion" devices with multiple vulnerabilities that sound like RCE via things like video playback with "fixing them requires a long chain of communication between many vendors, manufacturers and resellers" sounds like a total disaster to me. Many (most?) Android phones in use will never see an update!
