Long-time Slashdot reader internet-redstar shares an interestging response to "the recent wave of Linux kernel privilege escalation vulnerabilities like 'Copy Fail' and 'Dirty Frag'":
Belgian Linux sysadmin and Tesla Hacker "Jasper Nuyens" got tired of the idea of manually blacklisting dozens or even hundreds of obscure kernel modules across large fleets of Linux systems in the near future.

Вы уверены, что продаёте рынку свой ум, а не унылый отчёт типографии?Большинство ИТ-специалистов пишут резюме «по форме»: «Собирал требования, писал ТЗ, настраивал права доступа». Это похоже на описание книги как физического объекта. Вы рассказываете о плотности бумаги и ровности шрифта, полностью стирая Историю, которая написана внутри. Но зрелый бизнес нанимает вас не ради процесса перелистывания страниц. Ему нужен автор, способный спасти сюжет от финансового или системного краха.Почему крутые эксперты по Read more ›

An anonymous reader shared this report from Electrek: When Fisker Inc. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in June 2024, it left roughly 11,000 Ocean SUV owners holding the keys to vehicles that cost them anywhere from $40,000 to $70,000 — and that were rapidly losing the software brains that made them work. No more over-the-air updates. No more connected services. No more warranty. The manufacturer was dead. What happened next... Read more ›

Друзья, знаю, что интернет переполнен воспеванием AI, что вызывает у многих людей (особенно специалистов) фрустрацию, особенно когда речь заходит о написании кода на C/C++. Я не AI-проповедник – просто активный и ответственный программист, который пользуется AI-инструментами. Недавно я предложил AI (если быть точнее, opencode + GLM-5.1) придумать алгоритм для одной из задач, над которой я работаю, и он справился очень хорошо. Это не прорывной алгоритм, на котором я разбогатею, но... Read more ›

Passkeys are pretty great. The tech is solid, based on well-established, secure cryptographic principles, and the ease of use is through the roof compared to remembering traditional passwords. In case you are not in the know, the passkey paradigm has you generating a secure private key that you keep locally on your device and a corresponding public key that you give out to websites/services/apps you want to log into.

The free/open source project OrcaSlicer is a popular fork of 3D printer slicing software from Bambu Lab. But Tuesday independent developer Pawel Jarczak shuttered the project "following legal threats from Bambu Lab," reports Tom's Hardware: Jarczak's fork of OrcaSlicer would have allowed users to bypass Bambu Connect, a middleware application that severely limits OrcaSlicer's access to remote printer functions in the name of security.
