  • Back in the 00’s we had to fiddle with ifconfig and friggin’ /etc/network by hand. Things have gotten a lot better.

    I was just thinking that I’ve never had any problems with either WiFi or Ethernet connectivity since NetworkManager became a standard part of modern distros. Before that I was having to install windows drivers with ndiswrapper and configure interfaces manually in ifup and ifdown scripts, and I haven’t had to do that for at least 15 years now.






  • It’s not reading the contents of RAM via EM emanations, it’s using the EM emanations caused by certain memory access patterns as a side channel to exfiltrate data. Of course, that data could be anything, including whatever is in RAM, but the point is that you need to be running the code that generates the necessary memory access patterns to transmit the bits of data. This is not like TEMPEST where you can reconstruct a video display just using the emanations.





  • I can see that you’ve taken on a lot of the feedback from previous comments threads. This is great! Thank you.

    And thank you for open sourcing it.

    Question: I was using Quiblr before without logging in. If I sign up an account now and log in, will it transfer my locally stored data into the account to keep the recommendation (see more/see less) settings?






  • I lost my earbuds in a remote town in Chile, so tried buying a new pair at the airport before flying out.

    True Apple lightning devices are more expensive to make.

    I wish @Apple would devote an employee or two to cracking down on such a technological, psychological abomination as this.

    He wants to take away a budget option from developing countries where people can’t afford the expensive version of the proprietary technology, and he wants Apple to be the one to do it?

    Fuck this guy.


  • Why not post your blogs to a fediverse platform? Do they need to be on a separate hosted system? You’ll probably get more people reading and engaging with your posts if you are just posting to a Mastodon instance rather than hosting on a separate web platform and hoping that people stumble across it.
