hopefully this will all be used as evidence one day in a massive lawsuit that bankrupts meta

exactly, the trading kartels could kick back money, but also just funneling taxes into the market is a rising tide for the overall market

"If you operate an x86 KVM host that accepts multi-tenant guests and supports nested virtualization, or use an instance on top of one"

does this mean that you must have nested virtualization enabled to br vulnerable. does disabling this feature in the host os or bios, make you immune to this bug?

i didnt mean those contaminents cause Alzheimers, just that its a risk to general health. food grade plastic is not considered toxic at these doses, but u def dont want it in your body if u can avoid it within reasonable effort. i use freezer bags made from plastic , and reuse plastic ziplocs from some food stuffs i buy to marinate meat, its really convenient to be able to remove the air and have the marinade fully coat the food. i reuse plastic water bottles until i forget them somewhere. im def using plastic to store food. i eat canned food too, and most of the cans mention something about their liner safety right on the can. bpa-ni is interesting, in that they say they dont intentionally use bpa liner, but bpa could still be there, wtf , how are u so unsure as a manufacturer to what ur inputs are on a factory made can. that being said, im not storing food in there for years, only hours when i use plastic in my own processes. plastic in can liners often holds food for years, and the expiration date of canned food is often many years after the food is manufactured and canned.

on a daily basis the current US president commits treason against the people of the united states, which im pretty sure even presidential immunity doesnt protect against. Just one of the shady dealings with foreign monarchies, laudering their bribes directly to the president thru billion dollar purchases of worthless crypto "assets" ala world liberty financial; should land the president and his entire family in capital punishment

i heard aluminum food containers are often coated with toxic liners, like plastics, bpa, and pfas. If Alzheimers isnt a risk with pure aluminum metal, id say those liners are a huge risk. Are kitchen foils coated? Im pretty sure cans are most of the time.

i wanted the librem5 to be awesome. some things really bothered me about it , as a smartphone alternative: shitty screen shitty camera shitty cpu shitty battery life shitty os shitty support for modern video codecs shitty physical security if i cant take decent pictures, watch locally stored hd h264/265 videos, have a full day of battery life, and resist cellebrite extraction attempts... what is it really good for. they shoulda targetted it as a secure hotspot for a wifi only or tethered device, rather than the smartphone usecase.

@grapheneos Can the upcoming motorola phone have a microsd or somekind of removeable/expandeable mass storage? One of the most annoying things on modern phones, and all the pixels, is the lack of storage expansion. Its a constant battle to maintain free space on the device. Remote storage is largely useless to me due to datacaps and slow service. MicroSD slot and some kind of automatic but secure removeable disk encryption would be very desireable to me. Obv theres a threat vector here, so id appreciate a hardware/software solution that mitigates this. Maybe requiring user confirmation before any hardware pins are active, and some kind of removal/tamper/evilmaid detection. Also easy servicing hardware issues like a bad battery

wouldnt it be easier and more secure to just hide sshd behind vpn?

I always advise ppl against ubiquiti devices. They are not open at all, its yet another proprietary router/switch/wifi/nas/etc

Not suprised theres holes in codec implementations. They are extremely complicated structurally. Most modern codecs layer compression features endlessly in the pursuit of better compression. The specs are insanely bloated. Filesystems have the same problems, with huge bloated specs. You wouldn't mount an untrusted filesystem. Theres issues at all levels. The filesystem, the stream muxer, the codec. It would be nice if we could just use some simple uncompressed or lossless compression for video, and not need to have this mess of lossy codecs with endless compression features. But computers/networks still dont have the bandwidth to practically handle uncompressed video in 2026, altho audio can be. I doubt theres many issues with lpcm.

Im USA based use prepaid service because I dont want to provide information for a credit check to obtain postpay service. Theres absolutely no reason for a US based telephony provider to retain the most sensitive PII on their customers. Every large provider has a history of breaches and selling customer data. The telephone companies are already tracking, storing, selling; so many data points on their customers. They cant be trusted with any information.

This article is hilarious. Real world consequences for using automation for something in the real world. Glad the community organized around this. Their spammy demands for donations (like someone owes them), makes them seem even more deserving of the bill.

seems like pgp inside emails would solve alot of the issues around auth and confidentiality i think email is fine the way it is i dont need any more solutions that make it harder to host your own servers email is meant to be self hosted. i feel like commercial email services have their usecases but we should avoid having service providers playing with standards, as their motives might be self serving. we should keep decentralized internet tech as decentralized as possible, with a caution against blocking random senders, as this leads to monopolies blocking their competition and demanding compliance to their agendas.
