Finally something which I am really interested in happens in the world of computing.

This is the Chimaera Processor¹ made into something useful - a processor natively running both arm64 _and_ IBM/Z code².

Also, more details at ServeTheHome³.

I would love to see it… is it microcoded? The IBM/Z is now a POWER variant, microprogrammed (IBM-speak and ​ -speak for microcode) for the IBM/Z ISA so what did they do for arm64?

At long last something better than AI slop!

@david_chisnall I absolutely hated this as a red teamer, thanks! :)

@mr0vka

@hajovonta @screwlisp that is only half of the problem. I actively try to add content to search indexes and they just outright refuse to index my completely mundane (no spicy/illegal) content.

@sassdawe Oh that'd be great! Here's an example with some more thoughts:

@airwhale It's not on TikTok

My newest Citation Needed project made an appearance on Last Week Tonight with John Oliver! It’s a work in progress, but you can see the new interactive version of my map of the Trump family’s crypto ventures at https://map.citationneeded.news/.

The map contains hundreds of business entities and links to the Trump family (with more being added!), augmented with data from the president’s most recent financial filings to estimate how much money is flowing in. It will be queryable by other researchers/journalists.

@rebane2001 https://blog.google/security/advancing-protection-in-chrome-on/ attack surface reduction, apparently, and now they're doing it by default, which feels pretty wild

I guess it doesn't impact googles ideal user, who only goes to 2 websites which are both operated by google

That's all that matters.

Have a JoyousJoyfulJoyness day!

I can't wait for someone pivoting from a HF build container to Nvidia's ICS :)

The End of SPARC

If Hollywood had any nerve there would be three different movies about a scruffy blue-collar hero who's down on his luck but finds meaning and new love cutting down Flock cameras shooting right now

@sassdawe Yeah I kinda understand, but this "OS as a service but not really" policy is confusing + docs could be more forward about "bleeding edge" features (like "we mark this purple because you won't find this in releases")

@0rkk0

@sassdawe @0rkk0 Yeah at least as something I can enable post-install from the original media

Edit: it's like 8GB already ffs, I think they aren't concerned about size...

Spring Security's embedded UnboundID LDAP server (UnboundIdContainer) unconditionally registers an administrative credential and binds its listener to all available network interfaces.

An attacker who could reach the LDAP listener port could authenticate using the well-known administrative bind DN, and then read or modify entries in the in-memory directory.

@0rkk0 thanks, I know exactly it was introduced in 7.2. Fortunately I could temporarly move the VM out of the no-internet zone and install the latest version. Even after that it was quite frustrating that the default PS version remained the old one...

@kpwn IMO it's the hackerest movie out there if you look at the general simulation concept

The latest #PowerShell version is 7.6 (according to Wikipedia).

I need a feature from 7.2.

I downloaded a Windows image literally yesterday.

The feature is not there.

Since I was #FediLectured that I shouldn't expect street names to be displayed on AdTech maps, here is a map from our local bike rental app with zero street names to indicate where the bike stations actually are (map provider is #Mapbox)
