  • Security Researchers Find XZ Utils Backdoored Debian Images on Docker Hub

  • Sounds like a VPS. I doubt docker is sandboxed securely enough you'd want to use it for such an operation. VPS to my knowledge is done by virtual machine.

  • Intel CPU Temperature Monitoring Driver For Linux Now Unmaintained After Layoffs

  • States can control who companies do business with, and also who buys and sells them.I'd be surprised if the US let any foreign actor buy Intel, and pretty sure specifically US chip companies (production, design, and IP) are barred from doing most kinds of business with China.

  • While this may sound reasonable at first glance, it is only true most of the time. Sometimes a minute contains 59 or 61 seconds, even in Africa.

  • What is the best Power Outlet, and why?

    Jump

  • Oof, I see.Kinda a bad look for type I when some of the users follow a different spec and ruin all attempts at improving safety or even keeping standards like earth being down.

    In comparison the european plugs are moving closer together, for example F+E combo plugs are increasingly common.

  • Some images of the plugs, since I didn't know what they looked like.

    It was mentioned the pins started being insulated like that second image 20 years ago, but going by the images I found the older uninsulated style is still more common. This is ofc a major shock hazard when plugging in your stuff.

    Even with the insulation, you can still reach under the half inserted plug, just less easily and maybe only if you have smaller hands (like children).

    Fundamentally flat sockets are doomed to be shock hazards, compare it to the recessed sockets where the entire surface the contacts insert into is cut off from reach before the pin insertion starts, and on top of that the pins of say type F have been insulated for so long many don't know there were uninsulated variants.

    Another bonus of the recessed style is the plug doesn't stick as far out of your walls. For extension cords it's probably a bit bulkier, but when you sink the recession into the wallbox of the outlet you can get as flush as the width of the cable with an angled plug.

    Also pretty sure you can step on angled type I plugs resting on their backs. The recessed plugs usually have grips on top so can't rest on their back even when angled. Their pins are also ball-shaped on the end, type I looks quite angular and more painful.

  • In practice tons of outlets are wired the wrong way around.F actually has a convention for the socket, which is probably ignored even more often, but I would never trust live and neutral not to have been swapped somewhere regardless of outlet.

    Just forcing plug designers to consider live/neutral being randomized in a very obvious manner might be safer in the long run than working on a partially broken system where someone manufacturer might be fooled into trusting it.

  • EU age verification app to ban any Android system not licensed by Google

    Jump

  • That applies to play integrity, and a lot of getting that working is juggling various signatures and keys.The suggestion above which I replied to was instead about software-managed keys, something handed to the app which it then stores, where the google drm is polled to get that sacred piece of data. Since this is present in the software, it can be plainly read by the user on rooted devices, which hardware-based keys cannot.

    Play integrity is hardware based, but the eu app is software based, merely polling googles hardware based stuff somewhere in the process.

  • Damn, they really go the extra mile for a full equivalent to googles offering.

  • EU age verification app to ban any Android system not licensed by Google

    Jump

  • In the eu, phone numbers by law are tied to state identities.And the phone provider can naturally resolve their sim IDs down to the phone number they are assigned to.Anything related to celltower interactions is PII.

  • EU age verification app to ban any Android system not licensed by Google

    Jump

  • If it is about hiding some data handled by the app, that will be instantly extracted.There are plenty of people with full integrity on rooted phones. It's really annoying to set up and keep going, and requiring that would fuck over most rooted phone/custom os users, but someone to fully inspect and leak everything about the app will always be popping up.

  • Another Linux utility is being rewritten in Rust

    Jump

  • The rewrite seems to be in the original project, so a fork of the old codebase would have to be done that everyone switches to, for that to be possible

  • Remote work/administration too. I work on servers one of which is behind the chinese firewall, via ssh. ssh can carry socks natively, I could build a crude throttled but working vpn in seconds.

    China is also slowing transfers in general, I guess to push domestic providers and servers. Even with that if they don't want to sever all economic and scientific connections it will remain possible, though cumbersome to most.
