The problem is license costs. IBM makes a great system but almost all their customers have been working hard to replace it, not because of issues with the quality but the high license costs.

Apeldoorn? I don't know any government offices there. Most of it seems to concentrate in The Hague, with some agencies spread through the country.

Kind of weird article. If you want cars to stay out of bike lanes, make them protected like in here in the Netherlands. But also why do people expect to be taken to a bike lane rather than a parking space? Also seeing a lot of ignorance abo

I never noticed any issues, actually. I guess the zsh base is solid and stable.

He calls it the "miracle", I want to shout "It's not a miracle! It's other people!" I feel he's depending on others' kindness and not even really acknowledging them. It's like he feels it's

I tried fish for a while but as someone who heavily used bash before I couldn't get used to the new language. I also didn't feel they the language was much better than bash, at least for my usage. But I loved the default automatic

I'm surprised there's no mention about disclosing the bug to IBM?. Usually these kinds of disclosures have a timeline showing when they told the vendor about the bug and when it was fixed. Now it looks like they just randomly rele

Maybe there's a key idea for something to replace StackOverflow as a human tech Q&A forum: Having a system which somehow incentivizes asking and answering these sorts of challenging and novel questions. These are the questions whic

Thanks for the answers! Will look into this some more. I'm not based in the US I'm afraid but thanks for mentioning it.

Hey, I just saw your talk and for someone who's not really up to date with the latest AI developments it's eye opening what you got going in SoC investigations. I personally work as pentester and we're still doing a lot of ma

Seems it's overloaded now. I like the UX though. My usual question with any hosting is how do you avoid this being abused by hackers, scammers, etc.? Right now it's easy to just create any VMs for free based on a mail account, tha

Some talks which sound really brilliant. I love [0] exploiting a memory leak for years before it's fixed. Also [1] I'm really curious about the custom crypto used in Chinese apps. Oh and curious about the found [2] GPG vulnerabili

Oh, thanks. I learned something new. Never knew that different subdomains are considered the same "site", but MDN confirms this[0]. This shows just how complex these matters are imo, it's not surprising people make mistakes i

What do you mean with same-site cross-origin requests?

by tmsbrg 9mo ago
I'm surprised there's no mention of the SameSite cookie attribute, I'd consider that to be the modern CSRF protection and it's easy, just a cookie flag: https://scotthelme.co.uk/csrf-is-dead/ But I

As I said in another comment, I'm against immortality because old people need to make way for new generations. But this comment is cute. I like the idea that we'd be there and we're able to see how people are doing, but we&#x

Not the argument I expected. I'm also against people living forever, but more because it's a way for society to go forward and get rid of old ways of thinking. There's a saying that science advances one death at a time. And c

So the AI basically hallucinates a webapp? I guess any user can just run something /api/getdatabase/dumppasswords and it will give any user the passwords? or /webapp?html=<script>alert()</script> and run

Jimmy Maher is really a great history writer. The way he writes is very compelling. He made a whole history of windows which I somehow read through completely[0]. I can also recommend his other site, Analog Antiquarian[1] where he writes mo

I wish we could just let software "die" aka be stable without constant updates. For software that doesn't have a significant attack surface (security) it'd be amazing. But because of the bitrot of constantly changing und

The Python 2-3 transition and some developments after made it definitely not so boring for me, but hopefully it'll be more stable in the coming decades ;). "Cannot live without" is a strong wording, but software that I use a

I guessed this is a type of XSS but it seems not. The TL;DR is a bit vague on the impact. It says "This bug allows an attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript code as soon as a malicious PDF file is opened" but PDFs can already ex

Not really. In the article it says hackers are getting malware onto the hotel's computers using social engineering. That's really hard to counteract. They could steal cookies, or also just control the existing session using the ma
