If someone’s self-hosting, I’d be willing to bet they don’t have the same hardened config or isolation that a cloud provider would.

No. Docker containers aren’t a full sandbox. There’s a number of exploits that can break out of a container and gain root access to the host.

I’m a senior dev and I want nothing to do with AI. By the time I understand what I want well enough to describe it in a complete sentence or paragraph, I can just write the fucking code myself. I figure it out as I go.

The whole point of having devs under you that is to be able to trust them to get the job done and do it right. You want to be able to delegate tasks to them and not have to peek over their shoulder every five fucking minutes to be certain they’re not making a mess of things.

I seriously doubt AI will ever be able to replace that. Not until they figure out how to make it afraid of fucking up.

Having just left a job in the crypto space, the venn diagram of crypto bros and vibe coders is a single fucking circle.

These people hop from one hype train to the next like moths to a flame.

Big if true, but this unfortunately just seems like wild speculation.

There’s articles going back to before the election talking about how Trump hasn’t been seen in several days. I couldn’t find anything more recent than June. He apparently has a habit of flaking on commitments, which doesn’t surprise me in the slightest.

Nah fam she’s just setting herself up for her big divorce album so she can stay relevant to the older women.

TFW you post propaganda using a picture of an American vehicle

Even as an American with everything going on here, this bullshit makes me feel bad for the Brits. How fucked up is that?

Yeah, but the malware can just wait for a system upgrade where you sign a new boot image and slip itself in then.

It works for Windows because theoretically only Microsoft would have the signing key and it’s not just sitting on disk somewhere. But then you’re just trusting Microsoft, and also subject to vendor lock-in.

Actually, I would love for you to explain to me how Secure Boot alone would protect someone from any of that. If you want to protect files, you need full disk encryption, not Secure Boot.

Or are you seriously expecting a government-level threat actor to bother to:

1. Sneak into your home while you’re away or asleep;
2. Overwrite your bootloader or UEFI with a rootkitted image of the same version so it’s impossible to tell;
3. Wait for you to boot your computer and enter your disk encryption password, then:
4. Use the rootkit to read the decrypted files off your disk?

That’s the great thing about fascist governments, is they have no need to be that sneaky. They can just change the laws to make whatever you’re doing illegal and jail you until you agree to give up your documents, or simply hit you with a $5 wrench until you tell them the password.

For a home desktop that’s never left unattended with anyone untrustworthy, I don’t see that Secure Boot is worth the effort in setting up.

Given that you have to re-sign the boot image every time you upgrade, any malware already running with root privileges on the machine could easily slip itself into the new signed image.

The best security is not running untrusted software to begin with.

I don’t DM and tell.

Thank you boo

I don’t even need to read the message to know it’s a scam. No one ever DMs me otherwise.

The article is full of typos, too.

Who let this dreck out the door? Did Forbes lay off all their editors or what?

That’s what I figured after thinking about it, that there had to be some procedural reason for it.

Which, funnily enough, would also qualify the murders as first-degree under Minnesota state law: https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/609.185

The suspect faces several charges of second-degree murder.

This baffles me. Looking up your fucking victim’s addresses isn’t enough evidence of premeditation to qualify for first-degree charges?

As someone with a lot of web backend engineering experience, this had me yelling at the screen at a few points, but really cool nonetheless.

What a coincidence, I just watched the Scrubs episode with the Dr Toilet running gag.
