Nice that you added “status=progress” so I can closely follow what is happening.

I think it’s also a great option for games that don’t run well on the steam deck due to lacking performance.

Interesting to watch! Though it still seems kinda clunky to set this up, maybe with a steam deck or similar console (in case you have one already).

Is there a function to create a booklet or brochure?

This was a very useful feature to print a number of pages and have them in an easy format to read.

However, at least my Ubuntu print driver doesn’t have this feature, and I would need an extra tool to achive this goal.

Some gift cards are also not a very good fit. I know that from personal experience ;)

With a quite high probability that the loan is never asked back.

Right. Basically, I can assume that at at least one thing in the household breaks each year. This year, it was the microwave oven.

One downside i see with this is that it is often unclear how long an item will last. For example, I bought my dishwasher in 2021. When will they need to be replaced? The last one lasted 24 years, but I’m not going to bet on the new one lasting as long.

I heard he already lost interest in this project.

I did it only once (yet) because i needed a specific addon for the software.

In my case, I wanted to use caddy webserver with a specific plugin. It was quite easy to create a new image exactly the way i wanted it.

If you want “mass surveillance” with thousands of suspects, millions of requests per subject (the paper mentions 20 requests per second IIRC), over weeks … you probably get blocked and/or caught.

Also, your suspects will be “significantly unhappy” if your espionage costs them 11-18% of their battery per hour. Even without other usage, the battery would be dead by noon.

And lastly, this attack uses so much bandwidth that video streaming is impacted. I would guess that it probably needs about 1 MBit, which is 11 GB per 24 hours.

A service provider has no reason to do this. They see you moving around all the time. They can likely determine your location as close as a few hundred meters.

Battery draw? There are other explanations that are far more likely.

I guess that it could also be used to compare different people. Do they have fast and slow connections at about the same time? Then they might be spending time together.

This is clearly not for mass espionage, but at least a theoretical approach to confirm a suspicion.

To be fair, Mozilla has done quite some stupid shit in the last decade or so. Remember when they killed all addons with version 57?

I’m not a mbin user, but the combined frontpage looks interesting.

For those of you who work in infosec: How is december going? At my place, it’s luckily pretty quiet.

It’s amazing how the Wine developers still care for compatibility with older games. Oblivion is just a few months away from its 20th birthday.

Would be interesting to see this from a pentester’s perspective. But it sounds pretty annoying to find flaws that only occur in a small percentage of cases - and need very long time to run (compared to e.g. SQL injection attacks).

The maintainers of the big web browsers have pretty strict rules for CAs in this list. If any one of them gets caught issuing only one certificate maliciously, they are out of business.

And all CAs are required to publish each certificate in multiple public, cryptographically signed ledgers.

Sure, there is a history of CAs issuing certificates to people that shouldn’t have them (e.g. for espionage), but that is almost impossible now.
