Somewhat depends on your threat model. The relative value of an iCloud/aws/gDrive 0day is going to be higher than Nextcloud. If you’re in the category of people concerned about this type of breach, self-hosting a PHP web app and c

Agreed. The breakdown is indeed pretty poor IIRC. Generally you use these disclosures to make directional decisions about infrastructure. The list of fixed and disclosed CVEs combined with the legacy PHP code base doesn’t really pass the se

I originally wanted to do this but the CVE history is a bit too colorful for something I’d want to trust as a “cloud replacement”: https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=nextcloud A common misconception IMO i

Frugality. Your cost per hour is reduced. Learn and be curious. If you’re working on the weekend, you get to do this 24x7.

At least they get to keep their two days of WFH. New policy - five days RTO, two days WFH, per week.

I noticed this too and I am afraid they wont ever release this on the web app since they seem to have the best lane and road mapping data.

It does. You can tax loss harvest from companies that you own, so it makes sense to have a bunch of bets that are money pits.

Can it? You still need a ton of very expensive infra, engineering, ops to manage all of this. Waymo has clearly been playing the “but it’ll be cheaper” game for a long, long time now. It makes sense if you squint really hard and fudge some

It’s not a grammar fix, it’s a sentiment fix.

There are a ton of operational costs that Uber/Lyft have lobbied to give to cheap contractors with no benefits.

I think the title is missing a word: “Alphabet _has to_ invest another $5B into Waymo”. I’d like to remind everyone that it’s still a taxi business with taxi margins (best case).

I think the companies cited in this article might be weird to compare. Apple is very RTO heavy because they’re an old school hardware company. Hardware work is easy to demand in office work because: (1) apple secrecy and prevention of leaks

Looks like their NPU (aka ANE) takes up about 1/3 of the die area of the GPU. Would be interesting to see how much they’re _actually_ utilizing the NPU versus their GPU for AI workloads.

CHERI vs MTE is a bit of a nuanced topic. At least one part of the limiting factor for MTE is that you get a finite number of tag “color codes” which opens the opportunity for some form of probabilistic attacks. Of course this helps with de

I eventually need to publish an article about how to run an HSM backed root CA on the cheap with m of n auth. Using nitrokey and some glue scripts you can get the cost below $500. If anyone is interested, let me know.

I really don’t understand what people are gaining from telling others what to do. Flexibility buys freedom for all employees to live the lifestyle they want. As long as it does not impact your goals or your employers goals I don’t really un

It is unclear who wants RTO, at least within tech and other leaders whom I know within tech.

Tbh Cryptography Engineering by Niels Ferguson is a very good and practical intro to this topic.

I’ve worked on this specific problem you are describing but for other reasons. The issue will be once someone breaks the secure enclave in the CCD, all of the video they produce will now be trustworthy. CCDs are pretty lightweight in genera

Often times signature checking is fused in during provisioning. That is to say, if they had it enabled before there is a good chance they’re unable to disable it. You’ll probably need to find a vulnerability in the iMX8 bootROM which checks

These anti-competitive pricing models seem to be the primary motivation for a large scale landlord wanting to invest in the first place. So it sort-of is?

Small nit, there is no evidence that barter and trade economies ever existed. When there is a utility for it, humans invent a form of currency nearly immediately.

I would agree more if the RCS standard wasn’t also hot garbage… I would encourage anyone who is curious to read more about it. It’s taken so long to gain traction that it has also become somewhat legacy. Also, it still requires a carrier sp
