How about ELI precocious 10 year old? Cosmic rays and thermal effects cause random bit flips in memory very infrequently. If you sit on a network and listen to TLS handshakes for long enough, you'll find that any given server will issue the wrong signature occasionally, because of these bit flips. If you record the wrong signature(s) and use a fancy algorithm, you can recover the private key.

While at first it may seem an unlikely attack, it's probably more real than you'd think, given the number of times any single server does TLS negotiation using a given private key. The attack becomes even more likely when you realize that multiple servers will be using the private key.

In practice, this gives middle boxes more power, and raises their profile in the threat model significantly. This also opens up the possibility of simply collecting failed transient failed tls negotation data from a large number of (legitimate) clients to reconstruct a private key.
RTL-SDR tuners usually have very good reception between 50 and 1000 MHz, which includes the FM broadcast band. It is easy to overload the analog-to-digital converter, so it's important to make sure the gain is not set too high. Setting the gain too low could also prevent reception if you're far from the transmitter. If you're receiving from indoors, interference from electronics in your house can cause trouble, and walls attenuate radio signals. You could try moving the antenna, or check whether it works better outdoors.
“Go” is cited as one of the problematic ecosystems and it’s generally considered a “batteries included” language.

The problem is not anemic standard libraries, it’s ecosystems where vendoring is common, because will unvendor packages so you use whatever debian ships.

Which on one hand is understandable, if they ship a security fix in one of their packages they want every dependent on the system to get that fix, on the other hand there’s no guarantees whatsoever the package works once unvendored.
Just had a rare lucid dream. It was induced by infrequent (every minute or so) rain drops near the window, which was waking me up a little bit.
Jesus, this story :( . Your university couldn't wait a few days, their Finance department could't help? What a crazy outcome
Indeed. As someone who lived overseas I knew plenty of people who maintained US accounts and US credit cards. The only time an issue ever came up is if they told the bank they no longer lived in the US. Then boom account closure.
"Privacy issues" is kind of mild language:

I think a lot of what people do in life is for power. Everyone wants to feel like they have power, especially power over other people. It's driven many of the recent social and political movements. Those who feel like they do not have power continually fight and struggle against those who they see have power, until they gain a modicum of power and almost universally abuse it.
I've done some exploration of the path you talk about here and above, thoughts like "...artificial conditions that would not exist in absentia of the system..." and I struggle to bring it back intact into my world with doesn't exist in absentia of systems.
Sorry to hear that and sorry for nagging you but I couldn't possibly be more intrigued after reading this! Can't you just like dream up a bed or a nice hammock on a beautiful Caribbean beach and go to sleep in the dream or something? Or is my understanding of what lucid dreaming (having never experienced it, probably... never tried on purpose, never wondered about it) too much like Inception and not enough like it really is?
Ethereum only launched in 2015, which is 8 years ago, and introduced a paradigm shift in business processes. The most recent comparably paradigm shifting technology was the internet, which first launched in the 1960s, and took 40 years to achieve widespread adoption.

The last eight years has seen significant development to build the building blocks for a usable distributed ledger:

It would be very good if the privacy building block wasn't prohibited by counterproductive security state ideology.
Wouldn't Google love it if paying became illegal for everyone? After all, if nobody could pay Apple for placement, Apple would probably choose Google, and Google would save $20 billion per year.
Because in Germany all big media puts forward a single narrative.

For example in countries like the USA, Poland, the UK and many more you have huge media empires that are against the current government and others for it (depending on who is in power at the time). In Germany this doesn't exist. All major media outlets are for the government and they repeat the same views on huge range of topics.

Also actual censorship. See here in the section 1990-present: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_in_Germany
Get in the habit of checking if you are dreaming. Try doing something that you know can't happen but imagine it will work while trying it. e.g. Jump while imagining that you will start floating instead of landing back on the ground. Hold your hand up and imagine your coffee mug will jump into it. If you do stuff like that regularly -- every day -- then eventually you will do one of the tests in a dream too but instead of failing like it would in waking life, it will play out how you imagined it.

Just don't get in the habit of immediately dismissing the idea that you are in a dream. I did that once -- asked myself if I was in a dream and thought "of course not!" because I'd gotten in the habit of dismissing the tests -- and was very annoyed when I woke up... Test the idea seriously every time it occurs to you.

I found it kind of a tedious thing to do and eventually fell out of the habit, but it worked well enough for me that I was able to have a few lucid dreams.
> If there's some label to make it clear the image is fake then can anyone legitimately claim damages?

It would remove the specific damage that I talked about, for sure.
But the problem is, Crypto is full of scams, so to avoid that negative connotation the latest Bitcoin talking point has become "Bitcoin isn't crypto".

Which is stupid, because Bitcoin is THE number 1 crypto, but for some reason they're all claiming it isn't.
> "СВАКС... Когда вы забатите довольно воровать настоящий лучший" [...] is Cyrillic using Russian words for the phrase: "[C]VAX - when you care enough to steal the very best".

That is... an accurate description of this string, yes. That is to say, it translates each English word with what could be a good translation in some context (except for one misspelling). The resulting sentence, though, is completely incoherent and impossible to understand if you can’t back-translate to English.

(The alleged translation here was obviously done by some who didn’t know the language. As a side note, however, it’s also a fairly hard phrase to translate: slogans often are, because you don’t have as much surrounding text to reshape around any syntactical awkwardness; but this one specifically as well, because Russian lacks a good counterpart of the phrase “care enough to”, unless you can round it off to “need to”.

And what do you know, I just checked both Google Translate and DeepL, and they both produce passable Russian meaning the wrong thing. ChatGPT 3.5 produces a plausible if imprecise try, then a marginally ungrammatical one once asked for more precision, and gives its usual slippery vacillations when asked if the translation is precise.)

> Apparently this quotation was gleaned from a sign on a purloined VAX 780 used by the Soviet military

So I doubt this part, unless the authors only had an English translation of the Russian original at them.

> Car makers arent putting computers in for funsies.

There's a bit of everything. Some parts are due to regulations. Some parts are due to providing fancy options (LCD screens, seat heaters..), some parts are useful for diagnostics.

Still, some designs are overly complex because during production it's easier to use a hundred MCUs assigned to a specific task. But for durability purposes, it would be better to have clear circuitry with only a handful of MCUs running open source software.

I'm guessing there's an interesting middle ground to explore between "raw motor + wheels" and "FSD car".
When I was a kid, I would dream that my friends were visiting, so I would get out of bed and sleep walk around the house to go see them. Then I would walk in the living room and wake up and realize that there was no one there.
Superseding a ZX-Spectrum, luckily my first PC was a Siemens-Nixdorf 386-SX @ 16 Mhz, no FPU, with 2 Mb of RAM and a 40 Mb hard drive: https://www.ebay.com/itm/172038842293

I did install Windows on it briefly from what I recall but wasn't impressed, there wasn't much to do with it. Games would be pure DOS and for programming I'd use Borland Pascal so again DOS.

But as a gaming machine it ran anything I could throw at it at the time, which was 286-games actually. Without realizing I had the absolute best "286" machine I could have, for DOS gaming it is apparently much better to play them on a 386: (Why you don't want a vintage 286 PC -- but I like mine anyway): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Htbvm5_NZHc
My first guess would be to help disinfect the air. UV-C light is pretty good at killing bacteria and viruses. Though they evidently didn't realise it can also kill your corneas.
> In a lucid dream, usually the reality you’re in seems as real as the waking reality. Full resolution, full range of senses. Because it’s the same mechanism.

I have no doubt that’s how you see it, but that experience if definitely not universal. It’s never “full resolution” or “full range of senses” for me.

> Otherwise you can get caught up in the dream’s reality pretty easily, and when you do it just turns into a normal dream where you can get scared.

Also doesn’t jive with my experience. My lucid dreams always end with me waking up, they never revert to regular dreams.

Again, I have no doubt you experience things the way you described them. But your use of “you” instead of “I” makes it seem like the points are universal, and thus someone reading your post may try to only pursue that specific path.
Kagi uses Google(1)... so, how is that different from DuckDuckGo using Bing?

I do have lucid dreams (not a lot, a bit more recently, started 8 years ago and I had a dozen), I do not control them. I do think I have some control on their overall direction, but not direct control. And definitely not the kind of control my awake mind would have, because the decisions I seem to take are irrational or dumb, or both.

I think I'm able to decide to not dream while being in a lucid dream if I think I'm too tired (that happened to me only twice, but quite recently, the last time was last week). It's not a decision I would have taken while really conscious I think. I also 'chose' too wake up before my alarm clock (my asleep mind wanted to go get groceries before work. My awake mind was cold and lazy...).

Its hard to explain, not on demand (I'm sure I could work on it), I remember the whole dream when I wake up but it fades quickly. Sometimes they are emotionally draining (the two first lucid dreams I had I woke up crying, the first from joy and the other one was bittersweet, like a good relationship you have to let go). Those I remember better.
I remember a couple of years ago a root exploit in Sudo that was the result of failing to check for a sentinel value, thinking “that is a bug that wouldn’t happen in Rust, even though it isn’t related to memory safety!”

Rust enums are sum types, and imho are one of the few unambiguously good language feature ideas. I miss them any time I use a language where they are not built in. F# is another nice language where they are first class and where I first got familiar with them
I just moved from my home with an induction to a home with a gas hob (a nice one, even!) and I really, really miss my induction. Temperature control is a lot harder, I can't dial in the values I know work for a given dish, and I notice that some of my pans are just... dirtier than they were before. Also it's emitting poison in to my air.
So the vast majority of servers is not at risk because OpenSSH is not vulnerable to these attacks?
> Each coin has its own ins and outs, there isn't one that is the best. They have their own time and place.

This is just wishy washy rubbish trying to appear "diplomatic" and "balanced". Oh sure, you can mint some monkey jpegs or construct a needlessly complex and public smart contract for some esoteric "use case", but the truth is the majority of people in the world don't want or need those things.

People just want a money that works. You can send or receive it instantly across international borders, that no one can stop, and it doesn't lose it's value over the years.

Bitcoin is the only game in town, the "crypto bros" just don't realise it yet because they can make obscene amounts of money from pump and dump schemes with flashy marketing about "use cases" and "yield".

Wake up or get burned, again and again.
I've had the ability to induce lucid dreams for years now. What they aren't telling you is that it's very easy to lose oneself in the fantasy of it all. At worst, it can induce complete detachment and schizophrenic-like symptoms.
Maybe the mouse keeper will help, a device I created when I was student. It is a motion detector duct taped to a vacuum cleaner. Works very good on mice, perhaps also on squirrels.
Very nice.

Hopefully this will make my small transcoding needs faster for plex (as I don't have hardware transcoding support on my graphics card) =D
Another book that is very illuminating is "My Stroke of Insight" by Jill Bolte Taylor. Reading the brain stroke description can give non-experiential understanding of various Zen koans, including the non-verbal one where Buddha simply holds up a flower and it becomes entirely understandable to Mahakasyapa.

It also points to the natural tendency of human beings to attribute profoundness or spirituality to various forms of brain malfunction. The author does it in the later chapters of the book.
Show HN: Ladder, open source alternative to 12ft.io and 1ft.io
Hey there

I made a opensource alternative for these services. Although these worked very well, I was not so confident what they do. So I made my own and opensourced it.

It is written in Golang and is fully customizable.
I often look for obscure options to get specialists tasks done in all sorts of software.

Better to fix the option.

Just because I didn’t go to the very significant effort of complaining doesn’t mean I didn’t want and burn hours trying to use that option.
Sincere question but what’s the hardest part of having ADHD?
Bitcoin does 7 transactions per second and has a latency of hours if you don't want to pay extremely high gas fees, so you can't use it as a currency.
Crypto is hard, and part of the hardness is implementing it correctly.

Okta Enforces New Security Protocols After Session Hijack Strikes
I daily drive Debian stable and the few packages that aren't from the repositories are by choice. My most important programs are Neovim, Alacritty (for vim keybindings) and Firefox. Before Bookworm I had to build Alacritty from source but that's it and these days they're an apt install away.

I build dwm and dmenu as well but they exist in the repos if I didn't like patching them. If I go outside the repositories that's a choice, and I think hard if I really need it on my system, or maybe a VM for isolation makes more sense if I don't trust the developer.

If one needs bleeding edge everything maybe Debian isn't the right choice. Why does everything always have to cater to the masses? Let Debian be boring for those of us who love it for what it is.
Videos by Primitive Technology are so weirdly fascinating. It seems unlikely that a video with no dialog of a guy making bricks from scratch would be compelling viewing, but it is.

Not to mention that the hut he's making the bricks in was also made from just clay and wood, as was the kiln he's using to make the bricks...
> One fun scenario for the future is rich households progressively going off-grid, leaving poorer households to finance a larger share of the grid costs, which increases incentives to go off-grid until everybody who can afford it is off grid and the remainder struggles to pay for the infrastructure.

I don't think it's going to be rich households vs poor households, it's going to be sparse residential areas vs dense residential areas, respectively.

Because, in all honesty, you aren't going off-grid if you don't exclusively own the roof (for solar). And because solar nets so little power per square meter, you need a lot of panels per household.

A single roof over a six-floor apartment building just isn't going to have enough surface area to let the residents go off-grid.

A single roof over a single-family home in the suburbs is generally enough.
I use Debian versions of everything on my web server. I guess this means our anecdotes cancel out.

Why does Google currently pays Apple then? If Google could not pay then Apple would just push its own search products. Why choose Google if they don't benefit from it?
"Crypto" as a whole broke the circle of trust for most ordinary people. Mocking cryptos now became so mainstream that UK television ran ads, calling out crypto believers.

Not to mention all of crypto on and off ramps are incredibly centralized.
I haven't investigated the CPU and RAM requirements in depth, but I have used nrsc5 on a Pi 3B without issue.

Depends what do you consider "most important". For me the most important is the kernel, the xorg, the WM, the infrastructure so to speak. And then if I run an app image on top with let's say Freecad, I don't mind.

I'd have run it anyway, because I want the latest software without of the disadvantages of keeping my entire distro rolling.

Also I make use of running software in docker a lot.
I totally get it, when I think of it from a privacy and personal security point of views.

With wikipedia, it really is a sort of "He who controls the information, controls the world" type of scenario.

Imagine being a Wikipedia admin and editing something that can be viewed as very volatile, such as something religious or political with your own real name visible in the log - that's really scary!

It's not at all a tinfoil hat thing to say that there are people who have the will and the means to take down people such as Wikipedia admins for publishing information which doesn't align with everyone's worldviews.

It doesn't even have to be so political or religious. There are also people who go absolutely crazy over something like someone "disrespecting" their idols or favourite singer or something. If they knew where you lived, they would absolutely drive across 10 states to let you know what you did.

> this is a misleading reply because you ignore the speed and scale at which the internet allows sharing to happen.

You are misleading because i explicitly talked about the Internet and widespread file-sharing in my comment. Most people would love to pay a fair price for high-quality DRM-free content and that's why for a while Spotify and Netflix won. Now that Netflix raises prices and doesn't license all the interesting shows anymore, people are going back to piracy because they can't afford 5 10$/month subscription for every streaming service out there.

Historically in France, a "global license" was proposed instead of HADOPI. It was like those streaming services, but run as a public service to ensure artists don't get scammed by corporations. Guess who opposed that proposal? Those same corporations, who keep exploiting the artists and milking the consumers.

I've been pirating all along. I still buy a lot of stuff, eg. CDs at concerts. Make it convenient and ethical for me to pay within what i can afford and i will. In the meantime, i'll keep pirating because i can't spend more on culture than i spend on food, often for content of dubious quality.
Sure, but you still had to sit in that classroom 7+ hours a day for over a decade to hear bullshit hawked by children to indoctrinate you into being an office/factory drone. If you didn't feel spite towards that you have a Buddha's level of perspective.
This comment I put up there with talking about welfare queens. It shows someone's politics immediately.

Fraud as defined by these authors is very rare. They are not talking about what the average person is when they talk about common welfare fraud. These studies mean outright fraud, not someone able body choosing to game the system instead of working.

If you changed the definition to match the collequal understanding of fraud your results would not be a number literally everyone who lives in neighborhoods where benefit recipients are the majority laughs at when told.

It's like saying the PPP program had very little outright fraud. True. But in my mind, you committed fraud if you took the money and didn't actually end up truly needing it for it's intended purpose. Most share my definition. Under that definition I'd posit the vast majority of PPP recipients participatated in fraud, but it will never show up in the studies or numbers.

Anyone who has spent any amount of time actually living within these communities understands the situation with benefits looks pretty much like the situation with PPP writ large.
