a surprisingly disappointing article from ars, i expect better from them.

the author appears to be confusing “relay attacks” with “cloning” and doesn’t really explain the flow of the attach that well.

really this just sounds like a complicated MitM attack, using the victim’s phone as the “middle” component between the victim’s physical card and the attacker’s rooted phone.

the whole “cloning the UID attack” at the end of the article is irrelevant, NFC payment cards don’t work like that.

20 years? more like 5

start with basics:

• install iperf on every device you can between an external device and your internal host(s) and use it to find any bottlenecks
• use tools like tcpdump to analyze packets flowing over the network. you can often find surprising results this way
• start with a simple test best (again, iperf) with the most simple config (no nginx etc) and add the complexity of your config bit by bit until the issue returns

if this is your first time doing a big trip together, honestly, forget about it being prefect. it won’t be, and that’s ok. trips don’t need to be perfect to be meaningful, in fact, i’ve found the opposite to be true. the more wild and unexpected the adventure is, the more memorable and important it becomes to me.

so I’d say it’s best to keep an idea of things you’d like to see or do, but also be flexible and willing to adapt. traveling with someone that forces everyone to stick to a rigid itinerary is never fun and is a good way to ruin the trip. all it takes is one lost bag or one missed train to throw all your careful planning out the window. better to roll with the punches than self destruct when that happens.

if you’re talking about that recent pic of him floating around with a chain and a bread, that was an AI doctored photo

this kinda shit makes me understand the sovcit stuff a little more, “just send an email with this magic subject text and your rights are secured!”

you’re so close, just why exactly do you think people are using it for these things it’s not meant for?

because every company, every CEO, every VP, is pushing every sector of their companies to adopt AI no matter what.

most actual people understand the limitations you list, but it’s the capitalists at the table that are making AI show up where it’s not wanted

TLS doesn’t encrypt the host name of the urls you are visiting and DNS traffic is insanely easy to sniff even if you aren’t using your ISPs service.

the hostname of a website is explicitly not encrypted when using TLS. the Encrypted Client Hello extension fixes this but requires DNS over HTTPS and is still relatively new.

just a guess, but in order for an LLM to generate or draw anything it needs source material in the form of training data. For copyrighted characters this would mean OpenAI would be willingly feeding their LLM copyrighted images which would likely open them up to legal action.

open source software getting backdoored by nefarious committers is not an indictment on closed source software in any way. this was discovered by a microsoft employee due to its effect on cpu usage and its introduction of faults in valgrind, neither of which required the source to discover.

the only thing this proves is that you should never fully trust any external dependencies.

yeah silly me for supporting artists with my money but also downloading drm-free copies of things so I can actually exercise a semblance of ownership. but sure, keelhaul me so you can keep your sense of smug superiority.

AI is a tool that is fundamentally based on the concept of theft and plagiarism. The LLM training data comes from artists and creators that did not consent to their work being plagiarized by a hallucinating machine.

it literally explains what they’re for in the product listing:

These labels aid your warehouse operations.

• Categorize inventory, reorder points, product dating or special instructions.

• Apply these labels to pallets, boxes and shelves for easy identification.

• Easy to write on.

could be this?

a decentralized community that correctly prioritizes security would absolutely be using signed commits and other web-of-trust security practices to prevent this sort of problem

i would argue that leftists constantly arguing about what their words even mean is one of the biggest turn offs.

people don’t love pedantry.

you understand there’s more than one way to have an economy right? that there’s more than one way for labor to be rewarded for its output?

saying “our economic system needs to end” has nothing to do with what you wrote

faster can still lead to battery life improvements. if the CPU is able to complete tasks in less time, it can then enter a lower power state sooner which will result in less battery usage overall

SMS is literally the bottom of the barrel though
