Nothing else, I think what the're more concerned with is how open an architecture is. I think with RISC-V if you wanted to design your own chips and stuff you can just do it, whereas ARM doesn't let you do that. I'm not about

You could argue well, if you have to open the file to read it anyway may as well look for magic numbers. That doesn't work well with text documents which won't have any kind of magic number. So now you're doing some heuristic

Honestly requiring DMARC was overall a good thing. I was an email admin for a university. In the past - each college ran their own email. Before DKIM, before SPF, you'd just have basically random servers on the internet sending email a

Just a few years ago, Atlassian required you to add an unnecessary include: record to your SPF record, and wouldn't use your domain for emails until they scanned your SPF record for that include. https://jira.atlassian.com&#

Lookalike domains are a problem but in my opinion the bigger problem is when attackers figure out how to hijack a real domain. For example, making a company named "there's a problem with your account call this number" on a si

That was how I felt. "The Future of Email", from Fastmail - I immediately assumed some big announcement. It's basically "you need to pass DMARC now" which has been true for 2 years. It also goes into how authenticat

Restricted access, yes but I'd argue intelligence, tech-savvy, and common sense aren't really the same thing. There's two big issues I saw on a large University network (talking something like 60k users). Issue one was accoun

Regarding SFUs - with something like HLS, I can really easily scale up using something like a caching CDN (not entirely sure if that's the right term). But the idea goes: I can distribute the HLS media playlist, and have my media segme

There's a few cases where WebRTC falls apart that I think MoQ could help with. It doesn't work so well for having a low-latency broadcast. Your choices right now are - use WebRTC and deploy selective forwarding units, which are go

Universities are so tricky. If you put up too many roadblocks you wind up with official shit on completely external resources. Which makes it hard to figure out what's legitimate and what's a scam. But make it too easy, you wind u

The answer is yes, to all of it. Email providers have better spam filtering, some have strict rules about attaching any kind of executable code to an email (as in - you just can't). Email clients are always getting updated, stricter ab

To be fair that seems to be the path email is going down. Most businesses don't want run their own email and just use one of two big providers.

It's not really tables all the way down - Lua has datatypes like nil, boolean, number, string, table, userdata + lightuserdata, functions, coroutines. I think that's the entire list, actually. So a table is a hashtable. Just about

There's already a stenographer recording the proceeding, right? I'd think you could project what they're recording onto a display somewhere.

Basically these age attestation/verification laws are being pushed as a "save the children!" scenario. But if you read the laws - all they really do is shift responsibility around. Currently, websites and apps are supposed to

I cannot express how disappointed I am to see open source projects giving in to complying with age attestation laws. I feel like complying really undermines any first amendment arguments. Software is a first amendment protected form of expr

by jprjr_ 6mo ago
I think a better approach would be incentives versus punishments. Like - you don't make it illegal to not do age attestations, but you provide a mechanism to encourage it. You get a certification you can slap on your website and device

There's actually a couple of reasons for Windows apps to make Linux syscalls. I'm pretty certain this is how VST bridging software works so you can use Windows VSTs in Linux DAWs. The technique is also used in Discord RPC Bridge f

I think there's a deeply-ingrained sense of being in love with our cars, loving to do things in our cars, etc. We made long commutes via car a thing, and I think a part of that was the drive-through - you could get things quickly on yo

A lot of Icecast/Shoutcast streams either lack HTTPS support, or they don't have CORS headers, or not the right CORS headers. Like a very common issue is - if you don't have an access control allow headers header for icy-meta
