Always amazing to see the counter culture become the culture others begin to counter.
Never fails. If you live long enough, you live to see yourself become the thing you hate, and spend your remaining days trying to convince yourself you’re different.

Kubernetes. I don’t remember off the top of my head if it uses docker or kubernetes. I don’t manually allocate memory for docker containers. Not needed. They just share system memory.
There are ways to get docker running on TrueNAS but they look like a pain. It’s too bad because it sounds like for your use case docker would be easier.

I miss DOS sometimes. The machine was much much more deterministic back then.

Nope. This particular driver doesn’t actually do hardware. It monitors the computer for changes that might be adversarial.
In this case it is obvious incompetence in QA, to the point that the theory is already going around that it was intentional. Not sure I buy that, but if they had done proper testing (using an address sanitizer, linting to check for unchecked nullables, etc) it would not have happened.
Definitely a sign of bad process.

Imagine a sign that says “Sydney, 1000 km ->”
That’s a pointer. In code, it points to where a bit of data lives.
A null pointer points nowhere. In C++ nowhere is address “0.”
“0” is restricted memory, and Windows automatically crashes any software attempting to access “0” for security.
Except this time it was a driver Windows was crashing. So everyone was fucked.

2024-07-20 01:36:43

Looks like the Crowdstrike incident was caused by a null pointer. They use C++, and of course now the Rust cultists are having a wonderful day chanting “rewrite it in Rust!” which I’m not sure, but I think saying that violates that freakshow’s trademark rules. 🤣

There is a massive gap between the capabilities of the two, once you get past the simple edits. The same can be accomplished by hand in both, but it’ll take much longer and parts will have to be done by hand.
I’m not sure how much of it is AI assistance. Affinity is cheap enough and good enough I don’t deal with GIMP for anything complex.
I think darktable (which is FOSS) is more what he’s looking for since he’s using Lightroom.

I consider them less secure than non-synced 2FA codes in an app,
Which I consider less secure than an air-gapped device like a Yubi.
I do use them though, for accounts I consider less secure. For instance, any company that requires a SMS backup for 2FA, you might as well use a passkey because it’s more convenient and you’re only as secure as SMS anyways.
