>>108510130Maybe there's hardware level backdoors, so they don't care either way
>>108510130>>108510130You mean to tell me absolutely NO ONE has figure this shit out, yet? Hasn't ANYONE on the planet managed to reflash the chip on these Snapdragon mobos to allow OEM unlock to install Graphene and other phone OSs? How is this reality a thing? Absolutely 0 DIYers? I can't accept that.
>>108510226Motorola uses the exact same chips everyone else does and allows you to flash your own ROMs onto their phones. It's a vendor software problem, and somehow Google is one of those vendors that bothers to give you the choice of what OS to run on the hardware you bought.
>>108510130>how come Google is in this paradox of both being anti-user freedom as well as being one of the few Android vendors that actually give their users freedom?Insurance against antitrust lawsuits. The same reason Google funds Mozilla.As long as there are viable alternatives, they can argue they're not a monopoly/duopoly, but as long as the alternatives are at Google's mercy, Google controls the market for all practical intents and purposes.

This year's Debian Project Leadership election has only ONE candidate and it's a Pajeeta (Sruthi Chandran):>She is inactive on the mailing lists, and her Salsa profile is private so we can't even see what her coding contributions are.>She's run for DPL 4 times before; lost each time>Her entire platform is just about diversity and bitching about cis males>She intends to formally incorporate Debian in the US, which would force Debian to introduce age verificationHer only claim to fame is organizing DebConf23, an event where a Debian developer literally fucking DIED because basic health & safety measures were not followed.A much more qualified candidate was hospitalized during the nomination window and couldn't apply in time, yet she has refused to reopen nominations.Debian is FUCKED unless the Debian developers all vote NOTA (None of the above).
>>108507464Simple, diversity doesn't actually refer to the variety of people in a group. It refers to the percentage of persons in the group that qualify as "diverse". You can have a group that's completely homogeneous and it'll still be 100% diverse.The definition changed the moment that "diversity is about getting rid of white people (and that's a good thing)" article dropped.

I don't care about any other science field as much as CS and software engineering. I almost made it my identity, in fact it is a huge part of what I am. for a decade I've been trying and failing at it. and now I've almost given up and I don't know what to do anymore.

If the if cases are checking for wildly different and complex conditions it's fair to use them, if you're just doing if x="hi" else if x="bye" else if x="tie" etc etc then there's no reason to not just use a switch case for your sanitys sake.I can't stand the verboseness of 5+ if statements in a row.

no no no what you should really do is abstract each conditional into a subclass!
Why can't we accept that IPv6 is a dumpster fire and leave it in the trash where it belongs
>>108508470Ah, you don't get it, do you? They use symmetric NAT with firewal preventing hole-punching techniques. To make p2p impossible.It is deliberate.
NAT and private addresses are literally the best thing that happened to the networking worldevery single home routereven the chinkiest shittiest piece of stinking crap implements NAT which on itself is a deny-all-by-default firewall. Inadvertently that provides extremely solid security out of the box for every device plugged to that network
>>108502090>Why can't we accept that IPv6 is a dumpster fireIPv6 is the original boiling frog. Big tech just keep pushing and assume eventually we'll get tired, or we'll die and youngsters will not know any better.Here's what we could of had: >The Road Not Taken: A World Where IPv4 Evolvedhttps://owl.billpg.com/ipv4x/
>>108509226>NAT was great for security Meh, IPV6 drops connections by default unless you specifically allow connections on that port. Its functionally the same security, but it allows you to connect to a device without having to go through a nat or buy a static IP. IPV6 is great for everyday people who want to host their own services or want to use cool peer to peer technology. IPV6 hasn't been adopted because it would make a ton of businesses and services obsolete overnight.

>>108509855>I have a server that boots from a USB that is always plugged inall of my why
>>108508951it just works
>>108508951I started on Fedora with KDE just recently. Never again, it was a coin toss whether it would boot normally or into emergency mode. I don't know if I broke something or if it's just like that
>>108509878My system is encryped. /boot could be encrypted with a passkey, but that is a pain to enter on a headless server. Keeping a keyfile in the same place as the thing is encrypts nullifies the use of encryption, so that's out too.Keeping /boot on a USB means that I can physically remove the USB to make it completely secure. Because I can't protect it with encryption I can protect it physically.I could boot from a networked boot on another computer too I suppose. I have considered it but this seemed simpler.
>>108510175if the usb is in the system all the time it's pretty much the same as putting it on /boot or whereever. What's even the attack vector here? People banging on the door threatening to take your server so you can swiftly remove the usb without them noticing?
https://torrentfreak.com/game-pirates-beat-denuvo-with-hypervisor-bypasses-irdeto-promises-countermeasure/Every single game with Denuvo has been bypassed Bypass is available for all denuvo games on day 0Irdeto is seething hard and saying more invasive DRM is coming. I'm guessing they will demand kernel level access in later versions of Denuvo.Will Microsoft allow them that?
>>108510310But I don't want the Denuvo overhead. It's such a blight that it's not worth all the extra checks just to play a game for free. It's know that it's a performance drag, and the same game without it does much better. That's what I want, a non-gimped experience.
now we only need a single game with denuvo that's actually worth pirating
>>108510327There can be two things you want to achieve (free game, no performance overhead) and achieving one is still good even if you don't achieve the other.The point is that the game is now free. If that is unimportant to you, unfortunately you don't get anything from Hypervisor right now. It doesn't put you back either though. It's non-news for you specifically.
>>108510341https://backloggd.com/u/leybbbo/list/denuvo-mega-list/MGSV:TPP is pretty good. I thought it had been cracked though. EMPRESS/CODEX maybe?Resident Evil 4 is also quite good, though I think they took Denuvo out in the latest patch, so this list may be slightly outdated.Haven't played Persona but they're pretty popular.Most of these games do suck though. Why is it always those who create the lowest quality that do the most to protect it? You see it with digital artists all the time.
>>108510345Thats a shame. But I suppose that if people are still able to acquire the game and screw over the companies, that's a start

>>108510249it's just as easy on Windows and OS Xthe two market leaders for desktopswhat market share does Wayland have again compared to those insecure obsolete display servers from Apple and Microsoft?
>>108510265It's why it's recommended to not handle the journal verification locally. Even that's not a silver bullet, just takes care of one of the low hanging fruits. You can also replace journald itself, but a serious threat actor is more likely to hijack syscalls or do some ld crap. Effectively, what you'd see is that the program will try to log something, and it just gets NOPed by the kernel or filesystem if it's something they don't want to show up. Leaves no trace and completely obviates non-local verification. It's also basically impossible to check without a super deep audit, since the overhead will be less than the rounding error of a cache miss or context switch.
