This applies in the other direction too: in this DMA world, at some point perhaps an app I will want will only be available in Meta’s Store and I’ll have to either accept their (maybe ickier) terms or forgo the app, whereas without the DMA I’d have the option to download from Apple’s Store.

Yeh. Makes it intimidating to try to make a startup until you realise it’s just generic polish over some cobbled-together SaaS APIs and docker containers. That’s what depresses me. You don’t need good tech, you just need business sass, marketing, and networks.

Thanks for the feedback! I was actually pondering about that sentence. I don't think it helps sales in any way, it's just me trying to be transparent, but it's probably too prominent for how irrelevant it is.

In an interesting plot twist, at this point, I enjoy my consulting work more than working on my own projects, so I'm not even sure this is still my strategy. There's something about genuinely helping people that I find more rewarding than building things nobody asked for by myself.

If this were an aircraft crash you wouldn’t have the designer/operator/manufacturer/maintainer (the same entity in all four roles) massage videos and hold presentations. You would have a competent and independent flyaway team secure the evidence and analyse it.

This is fundamentally in the best interest of the self driving companies themselves too.

Naive question: how is brute-force cracking still a thing in real-world systems? Aren’t there time-outs/bans for guessing wrong after like 3-5 guesses? How does one get the opportunity to try millions/billions/etc of times?
I was referring to Directive 2009/136/EC Article 30 "Facilitating change of provider". https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CEL...

Thanks :) I got plenty of advice to not write something like that, but it's just how it is.
>It should be conversational, and for that you need at least 5 tokens per second.

To be fair, a lot of people are using this for non-interactive work, like batching document analysis or offline processing of user generated content.
A bit different but not totally unrelated: for years there's been one in Belgium/Brussels which would play 24/7... Three songs. One of them was Hotel California by The Eagles, another one was a Michael Jackson song and the third one I forgot. They'd loop, all day long, all week long, all year long: three songs and that's it.

I never looked into it but it was weird.

It's not that no one stops, but that those who stop are effectively invisible, and those who use in a healthy fashion aren't noticeable. I think social media is a lot like binge drinking or clubbing or casual sex: many people do it often when they're young, but it's a momentary pleasure followed by regret or self-loathing. Most people grow out of it, and in later years it's just a bit of "dark history".

>it actually is hard to see pedestrians who have a bad habit of walking around wearing all black at night because they don't want to use the crosswalks that may be 1/2 mile away.

It's not on pedestrians to wear reflective clothing just for you. Nor is it reasonable to expect someone to make a 1/2 mile detour just to cross the road. That could add 10-15 minutes to their journey.

You are the one operating a heavy, fast-moving piece of machinery. If it's dark and there are people around, drive slowly and carefully.
MSI Mpower Series Returns with a New and Affordable Z790MPOWER Motherboard
Well if not setup properly, it is possible to dump the Windows password hashes (and linux too).

You take that list of hashes, and copy to your password cracking rig, where it can run for a few days to see how many password hashes you can find a match for. Then once you have identified a password hash match, you now know an account password.

However, if things aren’t properly secured where an attacker can dump password hashes, they likely can utilize “pass the hash” style attacks as well where you don’t even need to know the password to be able to sign in as a user.
However, if you have ever tried to cancel your preorder or return it, good luck getting your money back.

Historically, Apple has demonstrated more trustworthiness and greater morality than the United States Government, when direct comparison has been available.

More generally, your argument doesn't really hold up. Apple's never owned slaves. Apple's never killed coal miners. Apple's never put humans into concentration camps. The United States Government has done all of these things. Why should anyone trust it?

OpenRouter is generally a good option (already mentioned), the best part is that you have a unified API for all LLMs, and the pricing is the same as with the providers themselves.

> Why spend time learning "easy" elements that give little points?

Is this really a result of the current points system? Even in old-school, 6.0 human judging, wouldn't it be preferable to reward a much more difficult routine with higher scores? Is there any reason not to reward, say, a triple-triple combo better scores than a similar routine which tops out at a double-double?
While I have no need to lookup an address in local computer A's HOSTS file from local computer B as this is not how I use the HOSTS file, in the event that I did want computer B to look up addresses in computer A's HOSTS file, it seems there are many possible options. I could not even come close to listing all of them. (The discussion here is computers on a local network. Is there a need for a "distributed hierarchical system".)

pdns_recursor can serve /etc/hosts

https://docs.powerdns.com/recursor/settings.html

unbound can serve "local data"

https://unbound.docs.nlnetlabs.nl/en/latest/manpages/unbound...

dnsd from busybox can serve a HOSTS file

(exec 2>/dev/null;while read a b c ;do echo "$b $a";done < /etc/hosts|busybox dnsd -c /dev/stdin -p1153 -i 10.21.66.4)

tinydns would work too

echo . > data
while read a b c;do echo =$b:$a:1;done < /etc/hosts >> data
tinydns-data
ROOT=. IP=10.21.66.4 GID=0 UID=0 tinydns

Or just transfer the file instead;

rsync/mrsync could be used to keep computer A and computer B's HOSTS files the same

Or ssh to transfer the HOSTS file from A to B.

echo cat /etc/hosts |ssh -T computerB "cat > /etc/hosts"

Or use ssh to query computer A's HOSTS file from computer B

echo getent hosts name|ssh -T computerB

Or some small httpd, e.g., darkhttpd

httpd /etc --port 1153 --addr 10.21.66.4
tnftp -4o'|grep name' http://10.21.66.4:1153/hosts

It goes on and on.

But I'm not interested in using the HOSTS file in this way on the local network. I'm more interested in IP addresses than "domain names". I am not a fan of web browsers; I make HTTP requests from the shell command prompt and from shell scripts. For example, I like to create shortcuts for certain IP addresses so I do not have to type them, e.g., when using netcat. For me, the HOSTS file works perfectly for that purpose. I use this functionality every day.

Not every computer on my local network has the same ability to lookup names and IP addresses. Most have zero access to DNS data. No lookups. Some may only be able to lookup a few remote addresses. I might put those in the computer's HOSTS file.

What you generally feed into password cracking software is hashes of passwords that you've found by listening on the network, dumping from memory, or obtained by chaining another vulnerability.

These are in a text file locally (offline), so there is no system that you are submitting hashes to for verification. It simply tries md5(your_password_guess) until it computes the same hash that you supplied.

This is oversimplified and you can replace md5 with any hash alg that you need, but i hope it makes it clear that guesses don't happen against the auth server.

This is for cracking password _hashes_. Most websites won't store a user's plain-text password but will only store the hash of it. Then a hack/exploit might later reveal the website's password hashes. This program helps you turn the hash back into the original password. Assuming you have a hash already, you own the hash, so it's not possible for anyone to impose a rate limit on how quickly you can attempt to break it.

10 years ago I would've agreed that Ubuntu is the most reliable option.

For me now it comes across as a bit clunky, unpolished and less coherent compared to Fedora Silverblue — Ubuntu has more visible seams where it's been built from separate projects.

A major upgrade of Silverblue is literally 3 clicks plus the time it takes to do a normal restart. It doesn't ask questions a non-techy doesn't care about, and they can't break it.

(I'm not saying your choice of Ubuntu is “wrong” or anything, but if you haven't yet done so, it's worth installing a previous version of Silverblue and role-playing how it would work for a non-techy audience long-term.)
Philosophy’s real problem is that it spun off all its useful and productive branches. Science used to be part of philosophy; now it’s a separate discipline. Theology and psychology were branches of (meta)physics, and now they’re separate fields. Computer science has split from logic. Math is its own thing. Grammar split from logic ages ago. There’s very little left for philosophy outside unproductive questions of epistemology (“Are we brains in jars on a shelf?”) or ethical debates. All the real fruit now lies elsewhere.
Hmm, I actually have an old password protected PDF (pass is prolly around ~10 chars, letters+digits) whose password I forgot.

Are there legit services offering brute-force cracking? How long would it take, and how much it would it cost?
tl;dr it's about building a rig and playing with it, and totally not about any novel password cracking methodologies for 2024 (which are IMO more important that hardware).
A lot of this is historical accidents of when shorter alternatives for different parts have or have not been imported, though, and whether there's a culture for going "enough" and shortening things or importing terms. Germans seem to be far more tolerant of holding on to long compounds than most.

Norwegian has "trikk" for tram/streetcar and "stopp" for "stop", and so we have "trikkestopp" for tram stop (but see below). Trikk was a case of "sporvogn" - "track wagon" - being too long.

Meanwhile, while "streetcarstop" is not in use in English "streetcar stop" is some places. E.g.[1].

"Streetcar stopping place" of course would definitely be a step too far in English, but so would it be in e.g. Norwegian that otherwise mostly shares the German approach to combining words (to the point where newspapers regularly have articles about how the language is going to hell because people fail to combine words when they should) but where we'd go "hang on" and omit parts or otherwise rephrase to find a short alternative.

However, we do have "stoppeplass" for "stopping place", though more often used for somewhere to stop a car for a longer period, and "holdeplass" for "holding place" which implies a more temporary stopp, and so we can and sometimes do also use trikkeholdeplass - "tram holding place" [2], but these longer forms tends to gradually be replaced by shorter ones over time, as Norwegian has a tradition for contractions (to the eternal frustration of foreigners learning Norwegian, because spoken Norwegian tends to drop syllables and whole words with wild abandon) and replacing long terms.

[1] https://www.buildkcstreetcar.com/project-news/stages-of-a-st...

[2] We can, and also sometimes do (but a quick search of the Norwegian national library shows it's quite rare, with peaks of tens of uses in print some decades), use "sporvognholdeplass". If you were to say that people would probably wonder what century you are visiting from (even though the full term was no more common before), but it'd be understandable.

I think it's how one can imagine technology won't solve "humanity's problems". It's not that we are incapable - it's that we have different goals.
For big tech products the "style" is dictated by at most one to two hundred people, living in the same place whose formal education involved the same dozen or so people. Those decisions then get bundled into one of several design systems which are filtered down to the rest of us. That's one of the big reasons why there's so little diversity in thought.

Yes, they were. Actually the core of both countries was one and the Franks did not care much about our modern borders. Western Francia became eventually France, while Eastern Francia became Franconia (roughly, the borders were always blurry and shifted a lot over time).

Of course, the Franks came from further East and never replaced the populations they invaded, so even there and then both cultures and peoples were always mixed.
Do you mean the sovereign base areas? Those are pretty much UK territory.
The key is that it's not polish, it's simply because the baseline level increased.

Polite factual refutation probably works.
Offline vs online brute forcing, as I like to call it.

As others have said, if you have the hashes, you can brute force them offline and there won't be any limits on how fast it can go besides your algorithms and compute resources.

But even online, attackers can be pretty smart. For example, something we detected was an attacker rotating both through a bunch of accounts and a bunch of IP addresses. That way you never saw many incorrect login tries per account and IP in a timeframe. It's not millions/billions of tries, but it can get around naive limits per IP or per account and you need some SIEM tooling to detect that.
Because the people of the Mediterranean were as imprecise as westerners are when referring to other people. They called "franks" any people in the west that didn't speak Greek. In the same way as many today call arabs any people that are Muslim even if thet are Turks or Iranians
