Nothing is mediocre about it. All of the “best” browsers are based on FF’s Gecko engine. Maybe they have complaints about Mozilla or the weird stuff they’ve been doing with FF recently. But the actual Gecko engine is solid, and it’s what all the best browsers are based on.
Exactly. There is zero way for those glasses to remain HIPAA-compliant, because everything you do is uploaded to Meta’s servers.

I’m somewhere in the middle, because comments like yours actually reinforce my concerns. A reverse proxy isn’t really doing anything to make you more secure, unless you’re using it for some sort of access control. It hides which ports you’re using, and allows you to encrypt your traffic with TLS… But it doesn’t add any additional security to the services you are exposing.
Maybe if you use it for access control, to add a secondary username/password to the services. But that breaks most legitimate things (apps, mostly) that try to reach the double-password-protected service. Because a user on a web browser may be able to type in two passwords, (one for the reverse proxy, and then one for the service itself) but an app will try to pass that info automatically using headers.
Any vulnerabilities in the services will still become potential attack vectors. Anyone who remembers the Huntarr debacle will know exactly what I’m talking about, because a single service being vulnerable can do a lot of damage. Yes, containerization does a lot to help mitigate damage by excluding access to everything except what you give it. But it won’t completely stop things from going wrong.
You should read the article. Linus simply said that LLMs have been useful for finding more bugs, which has led to larger patches (because each patch contains more fixes). They aren’t vibe coding the kernel.
Wounds heal best when they’re kept moist, (something tattoo artists have known about for a long time, as they always suggest keeping lotion on a healing tattoo) and traditional gauze bandaging actively dries out wounds. This prevents effective healing and causes additional scarring.
Stop the bleeding, and then smear a bit of Vaseline on top of the wound before putting a bandage on to cover it. The Vaseline will prevent the bandage from drying out the wound, allowing it to heal faster and with less scarring.
Hey now, it isn’t only Nazis…
It’s also an overwhelmingly vast amount of CSAM…
Because the blockchain is a ledger that is available to anyone who wants to view it.
No, the cold wallets were using a predictable algorithm to generate key phrases. When you set up the wallet, you use the generated key phrase to pair it with your coins. So this wallet is supposed to live offline, keeping your coins safe because the key is kept offline. No way to hack it if it’s entirely offline. But a flaw caused the generated keys to be predictable, meaning hackers were able to brute force the keys and initiate coin transfers without even messing with the cold wallet.
Imagine you lock a million dollars behind a super secure vault door. This vault is impervious to all kinds of physical and digital attacks. The only way to open it is with the key. The vault is in a public area, but (again) there is no way to open it without the key. This vault only has one key, which you keep safely stored in a separate secure facility. Additionally, this key has like a thousand pins and tumblers, so it should be nearly impossible for a hacker to guess the correct key. The hackers essentially realized that due to a flaw in the lock’s design, there were only like three dozen potential key combinations. The thousand pins didn’t actually matter, because they were predictably arranged at the factory that built the lock. So the thieves just made like two dozen fake keys (until they got the correct one,) then took the money. All without touching (or even seeing) your key.
The real move would be to include polarized lenses or a holographic coating to block infrared facial ID cameras like Flock. Because most sunglasses don’t block the infrared spectrum, meaning something like a Flock camera can see right through them.
These are basically just a dad joke, based on the fact that meta has made every other pair of sunglasses “anti-pervert sunglasses” by default.
The issue is doing one at scale, with proper access controls. Also, let’s not skip past the whole “network isn’t air gapped anymore” side of things. Now you’re having to maintain firewalls, patch firmwares, manage users, enforce good password hygiene, etc… All without any additional IT support or hardware, because management is doing this as a cost cutting measure.
I can pretty much guarantee that the systems that get hacked aren’t the ones that do everything right. They’re the ones who have a single shared VPN password, haven’t updated their firewall since it was installed 8 years ago, and they haven’t even changed the default passwords for their control systems. Because they got tired of answering phone calls about what the password was, so they just made every username and password something stupid like admin/admin.
Literally this. It starts with “everything needs to be on an air gapped LAN so we can control it.” And then suddenly that air gapped LAN isn’t air gapped, because someone got tired of paying the call-out fee every time the on-call person had to drive to the site to push a few buttons on a keyboard. But figuring out a proper VPN (or at least a reverse proxy with access control) was too difficult or expensive, (management thinks the point is to save money on call out fees, not spend money on proper hardware) so they just poked a bunch of port-forwarded holes in the firewall and called it a day.
The scary part about this is that he likely has zero actual support from any kinds of disability, because chronic Lyme disease isn’t officially recognized in the medical world. Or rather, they recognize that there is a correlation between Lyme and long-term impairment, but they have no treatment nor palliatives for it. So they just sort of say “deal with it. Most people can return to work after a few weeks, so you can too.”
Sort of like how long COVID affected (and still continues to affect) a sizable part of the population, but government disability in America didn’t recognize it as official so patients with long COVID had to keep going to work even when they were dealing with debilitating long-term symptoms.
Most organizations in general. There’s a quote from a career congressperson somewhere, that basically paraphrases as “when I first got into office, I tried to find the big movers. The people who really knew what they were doing. I wanted to find them so I could learn from them. And all I learned is that nobody knows what they’re doing. We’re all making it up as we go.”
And the genocide of the Native Americans. Hitler used that as the inspiration for the holocaust.
Monopoly isn’t an awful game if you actually play by the rules*. It’s not *great*, but it’s not awful either. But most people don’t know all the rules, make up a bunch of stupid house rules, etc… And as a result, the game drags on for *hours even after it’s clear who the winner will be. In reality, playing by the rules has each game lasting like 20-45 minutes.
For example, most people know that when a player lands on an unowned square, they get the option to buy it. Straightforward, right? But most people don’t realize that if that original player turns it down, it goes to auction. The players can submit bids to purchase the square, and they can start far below market value. Meaning that all of the squares should get bought relatively quickly, instead of taking like ten rounds. There is actually a strategy to refuse to buy a square, to intentionally send the property to bid, just so you can then potentially buy the properly below market value. Basically, Player A lands on a square. Player A refuses to buy the square at the market price of $1000. Player A then wins the bid at $800. Player A effectively got a $200 discount, simply by sending the property to auction.
Also, the bank can’t go bankrupt.
You can run out of houses to build. Know how you can upgrade four houses to a hotel? And the game only has 32 houses? The hotel increases the square’s rent, but returns the houses to the available pot. It’s actually a perfectly valid strategy to upgrade all of your properties to four houses, and then refuse to upgrade any of them to hotels. Since the game only has 32 houses, you can use ~7 properties to effectively lock out any hotels from being built. And since nobody can build any hotels while you’re sitting on all of the houses, your 4-house properties are effectively the most expensive in the game simply because nobody can upgrade their properties while you’re hoarding all the building materials.
Nope, I’ll spoiler the story (in increasing levels of graphic detail) below:
Low detailIt’s from a post by a male escort, who was supposedly hired by Graham. The escort found an interesting skin condition on Graham’s nether-area. Graham then referred to it as “my ladybugs”.
Medium detailGraham supposedly hired a male escort. They got back to Graham’s hotel room, and the escort saw something odd in his ass/taint area. The escort asked Graham if he could wipe everything down before they began, and Graham agreed. The escort got a damp towel, but nothing was coming off with the towel. That’s when the escort realized Graham’s butthole and taint weren’t dirty, they were covered in moles. Graham then referred to them as “my little ladybugs”.
High detailGraham was (in)famous for supporting anti-LGBTQ+ legislation. He was also supposedly a pretty prolific male escort customer. One escort made a post accusing Graham of such, essentially saying he was a hypocrite and asking other escorts to share their stories.
Another escort made a follow-up post, to share a bedroom story: Graham had gotten… In position to be intimate. The escort saw something weird around Graham’s asshole, so he asked if he could wipe things down before they started. Graham agreed. So the escort dampened a towel and went to work, but nothing was wiping off. That’s when the escort realized his asshole wasn’t *dirty*. Graham supposedly had *tons of moles all over his ass and taint*. As the escort was trying to comprehend what he was seeing, Graham chimed in with “Hope you don’t mind, those are just my little ladybugs.”
Male Escort 1’s Post: There is a homophobic Republican senator who is no better than Trump, who keeps passing legislation that is damaging to the LGBT and minority communities. Every sex worker I know has been hired by this man. Wondering if enough of us spoke out if that could get him out of office? I cannot do this alone. If you’d be willing to stand with me against LG, please let me know.
Male Escort 2’s Post (made in response to the first post): When I came out of the bathroom, he was on the bed, naked, on all fours. I noted that there were dark marks around his anus. I asked if he had showered (he said yes). I asked if it was OK if I wiped him down (he said sure). I wet a face towel and wiped and wiped between his buttocks, and nothing was coming off. Then I realized that his taint wasn’t dirty, it was just FULL OF MOLES.
Dark moles, in dense clusters up and down the length of his taint. ‘Aw,’ he said. ‘Hope you don’t mind. Those are just my little ladybugs.”
I can’t believe I actually typed that out three separate times… I suffered so hopefully some curious user can be spared.
In a statement, Murphy cited the recovery amount, personal payments by former executives, a commitment for $7 million to go to nonprofits and the absence of a confidentiality provision in a system where “wrongdoers too often hide their misdeeds by dangling compensation in front of those they victimized and trading that compensation for confidentiality or an NDA.”
Glad they stuck to their guns. I’ve been following this case for a few years now. This all began as an attempt by eBay’s C-level executives to bully a few reporters into silence. It makes perfect sense that those reporters would refuse to accept an NDA as part of the settlement, because reporting on things like this is exactly what landed them on eBay’s radar in the first place.
Not-for-profit is still a corporation, and the distinction simply means that they need to reinvest profits back into the company. A for-profit company can sit on massive amounts of stockpiled wealth, while a not-for-profit needs to find ways to reinvest that back into the company. To be clear, they can still sit on a lot of money. But all of their money needs to be earmarked for something, instead of just being a rainy day fund.
