@nixCraft I use the mastodon UI of my instance on desktop, and @phanpy phanpy.social on mobile, installed as a PWA.

I have been using #Firefox since 2004 and do not intend to stop anytime soon. You need to take it out of my dead hands. What about you? #chrome #opensource #linux #unix #macos

@nixCraft I’ve been a long-time #Safari (on macOS) and #Konqueror then #Epiphany (on Linux) user because I favor small and standard-compliant engines. And because Safari is so much more battery efficient. However, there are always web tools that donβ€˜t work - mostly things like Zoom, Teams, etc. Those I use with #Chrome which has better options for screen sharing, recording, etc. - but I want to switch to #Firefox now because I don’t trust Google anymore.

@nixCraft 99% #Firefox user. For a few sites wie where it does not work well, I use #ungoogled #chromium.

I generally use Brave, but Firefox is also on my machines as a solid alternative.

This wrench can get infected by ransomware. DRILLCRYPT, to be precise.

Essential for precision manufacturing, the Bosch device can be exploited with no authentication, disrupting an entire factory floor.

Torque values can be subtly changed to cause chaos in an assembly line.

23 vulnerabilities were discovered by researchers at Nozomi, which malicious actors can form into an attack chain resulting in production line stoppage. x.com/lauriewired/status/17447

@nixCraft oh yeah but that was the terrible β€˜new’ version

This is crazy. Stable diffusion created a verification image of someone doing their KYC for a bank or similar. AI will impact Know-Your-Customer identity verification processes. As AI makes it easier & cheaper to impersonate someone’s likeness and identity markers (often found in a breach) it will become simpler for attackers to takeover accounts and steal money, data, impact brands, etc.

Iron Bug
@nixCraft only idiots use such "verification" like KYC or via phones SMS/push messages. really, all such things must be banned by normal banks and only phisical presence of a client or a predefined and verified RSA private key/bank card with similar key can identify a person.

@nixCraft wow, this is fantastic. Congratulations to the author for making real progress on something so ambitious.

@nixCraft if you good security, go for custom-made systems. Hardening is nothing else but customization.

I was going this way but have been reading that these FIDO keys are UScentric and do not work well when used from other countries... Can you comment?

Ugh 😀 ip command is the most significant change in Linux since they deprecated the ifconfig, a standard command on unix-like systems such as macOS, freebsd, and others. Check out my ip command guide cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-ip-com for more info.

This #Linux, #Unix, #macOS, #FreeBSD shell feature comparison table shows that ZSH and FISH have the most features. Why aren't you using ZSH or FISH yet?

@nixCraft that comes just at the right time. I was thinking about switching to fish, but without associative arrays and subshells it’s not for me.

@nixCraft I'll stick with X11 until the full Plasma 6 release and hopefully its in a more usable state with Nvidia. There are just too many small issues that makes it unusable for me right now.

@nixCraft sleeping on the floor requires me to do at least one get up a day?

Though I suspect there is a distinction to be made between work/life balance issues, and generally have a different approach to appropriate sleeping places.

@nixCraft 16 hours on the left, 8 hours on the right. Base spend ratio 2:1.

Metrics from right good/high. Metrics from left normal/average. Additional spend justified on left.

Depreciation on left exceeds depreciation on the right. Additional spend justified on the left.

I think I'm just following the data, but I don't make 100k anymore.
