From the Age Verification Blueprint:

>AVI [Age Verification App Instances] SHOULD support the generation of Zero-Knowledge Proofs

Maybe I'm not seeing the full picture but as long there is a 'should', the whole thing is worthless. Keep in mind, national states need no implement their own solutions and AFAIK during the pilot phase ZKP was just skipped. Could be for other reasons (was not finished yet) but in the end a 'should' is a 'should' and no 'must'.

interesting, not a single word about satellites and how they are influencing the quality of their work. I would imagine the telescope is affected in particular of this problem by taking constant snapshots of huge areas in the night sky, but nope...

I'm working and gaming on Garuda for over 3 years and not planing to switch any time soon.

It runs super smooth, with the build in 'wayback machine' and 'curated' Arch distro (7.0 zen kernel just dropped a week ago) pretty much bullet proof for beginners or as a daily distro if you want to get stuff done w/o caring much about it - just loving it. On the other hand side you have cutting edge gaming tech like wine/proton staging versions per default, so I'm playing Blizzard games with NTSYNC (the tech from the article) for several months now :) Forgot about most of the flashy default UI though :D

I'm hopeful the article is right about its prediction, although I'm under the impression the attacker/defender dynamic is asymmetric and the defender on the loosing end. I hope someone can proof me wrong though...

Making the assumption that the same amount of money needed to attack a critical vulnerability is also required to find and fix it.

Lets say we have a project with 100 modules, and it costs us $100 000 to check these modules for vulnerabilities. What is stopping an attacker from spending the same amount of money to scan, lets say 10 modules but this time with 10x the number of tokens per module than the defender had when hardening the software?

so apparently it is Proton GE 10.9 from July'25 adding ntsync support [0].

I'm playing on wine now for several years now, my deepest respect for the developers involved. Thank you!

What I was wondering after reading the article: How does Mulvad actually decouple banking data from the account ID? Or is it as simple as verify transaction once but never log?

A short(ish) review of how things are going for Facebook now Meta, 10 years after the VR / AR shift announcement.

It wouldn’t be the first time they built a mathematical and physical model of the Isar River in Munich’s inner city, of which the Eisbach is a part.

I'm just here to let the internet know, if you struggle to setup Citrix on (Arch) Linux, this seems to work out of the box

very little, about 25 TB written on the always-on one. The offline one just does diffs, so probably <12 TB. Both are kind of data dumps, which is outside their designed use case. That's why I included data integrity checks in my backup script before the actual rsync backup runs. But again no issues so far

Since it’s kind of related, here’s my anecdote/data point on the bit rot topic: I did a 'btrfs scrub' (checksum) on my two 8 TB Samsung 870 QVO drives. One of them has been always on (10k hours), while the other hasn’t been powered on a single time in 9 months and once in 16 months.

No issues were found on either of them.

Sure, mistakes happen, but it's hard to take an article seriously when such fundamentals are messed up 8 words into the article...
