might be a silly question, but isn't macos relatively easily virtualisable? i understand it's not done commercially bc of licensing issues, but is there a piece of software where you just get a vps or two and virtualise all of you

99% of commits on a project come from 1% of contributors, so the main issue w/ migrating to an alternative isn't the networking effect of github, rather that you can't carry over github specific stuff (prs/issues) i pers

yeah messenger still has the pin code thingy, i'm curious why they do it at all that way, can't you just have your keys on fb servers encrypted with another set of keys derived from your password, which is much stronger than a 4-6

oh, i see, is it the same for facebook messenger and instagram, imessage, etc?

by taminka 5mo ago
you can ( https://faq.whatsapp.com/1046791737425017/?cms_platform=andr... ) they even have it on fb messenger and instagram (though they recently removed e2ee completely from instagram lol)

by taminka 5mo ago
they do have encryption, just not e2ee, and in fairness to them, it doesn't make sense to have e2ee on a channel or a group with 100k ppl in it, also device sync is possible with e2ee, it's just a slower

whatsapp, facebook messenger, imessage all support multi-device and it's pretty convenient, in fairness to telegram they launched a bit before double ratched was invented, but still, they've had over a decade to switch to it...

by taminka 5mo ago
it's really unfortunate that telegram doesn't do e2ee, bc it's hands down the best messenger otherwise :(

it's unironically just react lmao, virtually every popular react app has an insane number of accidental rerenders triggered by virtually everything, causing it to lag a lot

you do/can control all the VPN nodes in this setup (most often just a single one) since your traffic doesn't actually go through the website you're masking under and the nature of the protocol makes it extremely difficult to

you need secure channels of communication (and preferably a connection to the outside world) to solve any problem

vpn protocols we use here nowadays are way more advanced than this, they mimic a TLS handshake with a legitimate (non blocked site, like google.com) and looks essentially like regular https traffic to that site it looks like they are basica

perhaps, there's still hope i think: - roskomnadzor just not being competent enough to implement the block fully - they'll reserse the block, since it will likely completely cripple everything that relies on the internet (which is

most of the traffic is probably from open weights, just seed those, host private ones as is

actually you may be right, according to project zero by google [1], ~50% is use after free and only ~20% for out of bounds errors, however, this is for errors that resulted in major exploits, i'm not sure what the overall data is [1]

logic errors aren't memory errors, unless you have some complex piece of logic for deallocating resources, which, yeah, is always tricky and should just generally be avoided

this is silly, we already have an algorithm for generating very efficient assembly/machine code from source code, this is like saying maybe one day llms will be able to replace sin() or an os kernel (vaguely remember someone prominent

this is amazing, counter to what most ppl think, majority of memory bugs are from out of bounds access, not stuff like forgetting to free a pointer or some such

so they're ordered, which i didn't dispute, but alignment is implementation defined, so it could be aligned to the biggest field (like in the article), or packed in whatever (sequential) order the particular platform demands, whic

by taminka 8mo ago
i was talking abt padding/alignment, not ordering, that's indeed not allowed you're right

by taminka 8mo ago
struct field alignment/padding isn't part of the C spec iirc (at least not in the way mentioned in the article), but it's almost always done that way, which is important for having a stable abi also, if performance is critica
