There's a couple of ROM versions, one which runs with a ROM filesystem and boots a shell over serial and another which uses BIOS INT 13h calls for an external MINIX or FAT filesystem. Both are run using an emulator which allows selection of ROM address, RAM size, etc. It'd be too hard to develop reliably without emulators for any of our images.

And yes the native compilers are running way faster under emulation than the originals on real hardware! Funnily enough, we're finding the slowest portion of the native toolchain is the assembler, due to lots of symbols and slow hashing.
My most important routine daily activity is 30-45 minutes of callisthenics (abs, push-ups, etc), then going running in the wood for 30 to 45 minutes. 15-20 years ago I used to do that between 7 and 9 (bringing children to school in the middle), but now it tends to happen more around 11:30, because I can't get up before 8:30 anyway unless there is a really tough deadline.

Does it make me productive? Not at all. But at least, it makes me extremely healthy :D

How to make a password generator using Brainfuck (part 1/3)
Hi there,

In the process of learning new stuffs, i started in a small journey on building a password generator using BF (using not "ONLY WITH"), so there is some C involved in the process.

I will try my best to post next future steps.

I think podman does not punch holes in the firewall as opposed to docker. I.e., to expose a container on port 8080 on the WAN in podman, you need to both expose 8080:8080 and use, for example, firewalld to open port 8080. Which I consider a correct behaviour.
Yes, one can actually boot and run a minimal system on 360k floppy, but if you want networking you need 720k. The native compiler might fit on 1440k but needs a lot more for any development if the C library header files etc are wanted.
Yes, but go further: Are you ever using your home server outside your own country? If the answer is no, block everything but your country. You can remove the vast majority of your attack surface by just understanding where you need to be exposed.

Title edited by me for length from original "Olympians are turning to OnlyFans to fund dreams as they face a 'broken' finance system".
One valuation method for startups is price to revenue, given that their costs are heavily fixed/low cost of replicating the goods you're selling. I think it's much more appropriate especially for early stage startups because they virtually never make money.
That is an interesting way of looking at things. Netflix adding a cache has absolutely no impact on what any competitor does, or the quality of their service. It will function precisely the same the day before and the day after a Netflix cache is installed.

Actually at the very large ISP I worked at customers saw better performance because the back haul wasn’t congested with Netflix traffic.

I'm guessing it's an automated attack, where it found running services and then threw payloads at it until it got something. Once they're there, since docker isn't a real security barrier, I'd consider it all bets off.

My Journey Towards Linux Asceticism: The Quiet Power of Minimalism
I was one of the people claiming this. I’ll tell you why I thought it.

1. I’m seeing ads for trending topics or those tied to things I’ve said or typed (targeted).

2. On one or two platforms, it was usually the same ads. Especially the targeted ones. They didn’t change often.

3. My friend and I discuss a rare topic.

4. Thirty minutes later, my app refreshes to show an ad on the rare topic from No. 3.

5. In each case, the only input for moving that information into a computer was my phone’s microphone.

6. Prior investigations showed some other devices, esp Alexa-style, were transmitting lots of data to their companies even when people weren’t talking to them. Their terms allowed their recordings to be used by the company, too.

So, we believed it was another example of a product listening in on us for money.

It really, really depends on who you are and what your goal is. If it's your area, then you can probably skim the introduction and then forensically study methods and results, mostly ignore conclusion.

However, if you're just starting in an area, the opposite parts are often more helpful, as they'll provide useful context about related work.
> as an industry, we should make a better job in providing solid foundations.

Here is the fundamental confusion: programming is not an industry, it is a (ubiquitous) type of tooling used by industries.

Software itself is insecure in its tooling and in its deployment. So we now have a security industry struggling to improve software.

Some software companies are trying to improve but software in the $cloud is just as big a mess as software on work devices and personal devices.
If a connection is closed, isn't the browser's responsibility to solve DNS when you open it again?
Sure, but the issue here wasn't because the default behavior surprised OP. OP needed a service that was accessible from a remote endpoint, so they needed to have some connection open. They just (for some reason) chose to do it over public internet instead of a private network.

But regardless of software used, it would have led to the same conclusion, a vulnerable service running on the open internet.

Automating Deployments for Cross Platform Mobile Apps
I can't remember the names of people or the video title now, but I remember watching it few years ago - this family moves to a remote place and builds a cabin there. Their son (25 years old, I think) dies. They live there for a while and decide to leave, spend their older years elsewhere. When they leave, they pack/clean up everything. Their goal is to leave the place as they found it, to the best of their ability. They didn't waste (or pollute) anything to begin with.

Of course one can argue they could've left their cabin to someone else etc (maybe they would have, if they found someone, I don't remember all the details now). It was refreshing to see that old couple talk about the impact of their actions on the land, animals around etc, in a society that constantly talks about "legacy". If we don't pollute this much in the first place, maybe we can keep other problems in check
I'm happy at the prospect of more accurate readings. But honestly, the Libre 3 is already simply excellent and I would personally prefer the back of the arm location to more wrist based tech. I wear a traditional (Citizen) mechanical watch, because I hated needing to charge a smartwatch.

I had some issues with the Libre 2 sensor getting knocked off or loosening after a few days in the shower. But the libre 3 is smaller than a US quarter coin and lasts 15 days and doesn't snag on anything. Will this watch exceed that? Because if not, then I'm not looking to switch.

Lastly for diabetics or pre-diabetics that are only using finger sticks, I CANNOT stress enough how important a CGM is to your health.

I use HAProxy on PFSense to expose a home media server (among other services) for friends to access. It runs on a privileged LXC (because NFS) but as an unprivileged user.

Is this reckless? Reading through all this makes me wonder if SSHFS (instead of NFS) with limited scope might be necessary.
Waymo spends a lot on human oversight, where remote operators make a lot of "common sense" decisions that don't require an immediate response and which AI is not yet capable of solving. Humans actually do a lot of the navigation, suggesting paths that the car can drive along. An example I saw was a fire truck parked at an odd angle, poking out into the street, and the software didn't know what it was or what to do. The operator drew a path around the truck for the car to follow. This only works for taxis: it would be impossible for Tesla to do this since there aren't enough human operators to hire.

But I suspect this means Waymo's software is ultimately more risk adverse. If a Tesla stops in the middle of the road then the customer has to take action, which is frustrating and makes the technology look bad, so there is strong incentive to remove that frustration even at the cost of safety. If a Waymo stops, the remote operator has to take action, and the customer can keep staring at their phone without being particularly affected - it just seems like the Waymo is "thinking."

In the past, the pharmaceutical companies were big enough to serve as the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for these startups. Now Apple. On separate occasions, I've met two people who tried this, in two different start-ups, though it was a different kind of spectroscopy in each case.

The challenge is, there's no a priori proof that a method can't work, because the information you need to make that assertion has to come from the same kind of research as trying to make it work. So far the start-ups have all failed in the same way, which is that a signal that looks promising in a test tube can't be reliably distinguished from the myriad sources of variation in the living system.

Note that I'm not in any way discouraging the work, just offering some historical context for the problem space.
The story is not about the Olympians.

It's about Platformization (+ Datafication + Finacialization). When Platform Capitalism the book came out, feels like a decade ago, literally everyone agreed its Unsustainable. Its not just about how well your mindless dumbfuck platform milks the consumer and producer simultaneously. Its about all the Platforms doing it simultaneously across every single sector you look at.

Just look at GDP by sector, and ask yourself which sector hasn't been platformized?

Sooner or later the only option on the table for Govt will be to ask China how they handled Jack Ma.

Not sure why you think that knife (that you posted in the other comment) is substantially safer than a regular knife. It’s similar to wavy-style bread knives, but smaller. The edge of the blade is still extremely sharp and reviewers have even noted they’ve cut themselves with it. The bread knife I own can easily cut me and it basically is just a larger version of what you linked with larger “waves”.

I don’t know how you could possibly mince herbs or dice vegetables into small cubes with something like that knife though. You need the flat slicing motion. Interrupted cutting like a bread knife does will lead to very messy cuts.

To your last point departing anywhere from the western coast of Africa directly into the Atlantic Ocean if not for directed navigation you will eventually drift into northern Brazil provided you survive storms, do not sail during hurricane season, and have sufficient supplies to survive the voyage. Drifting from Africa to Brazil could take several months. So, this is certainly not a journey for a raft, though I vaguely recall somebody tried that experiment with a raft.

There are also cases where more sturdy migrant boats drift from Africa to Brazil. https://english.elpais.com/international/2024-04-17/boat-dri...

and provide a search experience for them. It think it's pretty cool - check it out.

I see this mentioned everywhere in the comments here but they seem to miss that the author explicitly wanted it to be exposed, and the compromise would have happened regardless if the traffic went directly to the container or via a reverse proxy.

The proper fix for OP is to learn about private networks, not put a reverse proxy in front and still leave it running on the public internet...
