Whoa. Does the addition of Thunderbolt imply that all USB4 host systems are exposed to DMA attacks[0]?

Doesn't this open up every USB system (all systems?) to arbitrary, uncontrolled memory access including silently flashing new firmware/microcode to system components?

What DNS hosting providers can you recommend?

Preferably with an API or other means to programmatically make changes to zones. Bonus points for SRV and TXT records support.

If you use `configure --prefix=/usr/bin`, you'll end up with sudo installed in /usr/bin/bin/sudo. Instead, try

   ./configure --prefix=/usr

to use the /usr hierarchy (/usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /usr/share, etc...) instead of the /usr/local hierarchy.

Also, if you're able to run an executable in the current directory without specifying its location, as in configure instead of ./configure, then you have . (pwd) in your $PATH, which isn't recommended because a malicious executable might be in the directory you're in, and it might be named something like ls. Just listing the directory could have you owned.

Hooking into Groove Salad or Deepvibes Radio http://deepvibes.co.uk/ [320 Kbps] nearly always creates an environment to get lost in the code flow.

Assign a hotkey to each of your favorite stations and jump around without losing your flow.

One way to do this is to trigger the launch of a .pls file. Save the following as deepvibes_320.pls without leading spaces
