@tmr232 Sun and Oracle are also HW companies, but it's probably just Tinfoil Hat Me talking...

@tmr232 The JetBrains Experience Of The Day for me was to find out that I have to configure a "Facet". Every time I encounter this term things turn to shit, and today was no exception.

@tmr232 Would it be unreasonable to think that this is actually the point?

@tmr232 It obviously polluted parts of your system you'd never think of

@realhackhistory I'm sure they'll connect to the modern stream consumers with that syntactically incorrect DOS shell prompt!

Oh yes we have our new “you wouldn’t download a car”

Apparently if you want to get your data out of an Apple thingy the preferred way to go is to transfer all the data halfway around the world then back to your other device that is literally 10cm apart from your Apple thingy.

The other option is to download 160 3.5" floppy disks worth of software (about 2x the size of the recommended disk space of Windows 95) because somehow getting data out of the Apple thingy over conductive wires requires this much software magic.

@molly0xfff Have you considered using an LLM? /s

More seriously: this is (or at least should be) the open web, algorithms won't downvote you for irregularity, but readers will appreciate quality content.

The whole of my book on Building a Debugger is now available on Early Access!

It teaches you how to write a native code debugger from scratch.

There's lots of cats.

• “Check the domain” doesn’t help if you have no information about what domains are “normal”

Damn right. I rememberd doing some phishing training from Google, and they asked if some email sample is legit, and demonstrated its legitimacy by pointing out that it uses legit DropBox domains.
That’s where I thought “but no one here (DropBox isn’t accessible in China) uses DropBox at all! How are they going to learn if this is legit?!” 🫠

@singe I'd love to see some official, vendor-agnostic detection guidance instead of "buy our cloud offering"...

Lets Encrypt will disable OCSP about 6 months after Microsoft Root program allows it to (the browsers have already okayed it).

This all could be over in a year, year and a half. If you need OCSP for your business, you need to investigate alternatives NOW - which are all proprietary.

Apache ACME will handle this change just fine. Stapling will of course no longer be provided to clients.

Steam updated its platform to clarify that game purchases grant a license, not ownership, in response to California's AB 2426 law, which takes effect in 2025. So yes, the games you buy don’t actually belong to you https://alternativeto.net/news/2024/10/steam-now-makes-it-crystal-clear-that-you-re-purchasing-a-license-not-the-actual-game/

@joxean @buherator yes! And it’s quite convenient to use, e.g. https://security.humanativaspa.it/big-update-to-my-semgrep-c-cpp-ruleset/
