For $100M/yr why not start your own coffee subsidiary?

This person programs. ☝️ 🤝

Mprotect stops any read and write and execute access to memory in both user and kernel lands (only rx or wx). Stuff like web browsers won’t work unless you have a program to mark it in elf to not use pax. However, this kills a lot of exploits with that turned on by itself (though there are probably work arounds if you are developing exploits which the other features would hopefully catch). That’s why people installed 3rd party unmainlined security patches, but that’s just me maybe idk.

I am having a hard time following what this does or why this is desirable. You’re saying there’s a patch this thing provides that … disables memory access … unless a flag is set in an executable … which will then bypass the security?

No it doesn’t. We have any number of free and open source operating systems to choose from that are already more secure. The number of people in a situation where they absolutely need to run Windows specifically is small.

This is already true for the vast majority of games. 🤷‍♂️

Why would anyone want to run unmainlined security patches from a company?

This is how CrowdStrike happened.

This feels like security via business decision which is always the opposite of security. At least this would be open source now? 🤷‍♂️

It’s not. That’s an Israeli propaganda push, not reality.

What Israel is doing is unconscionable, and has been rightly identified as genocide.

Don’t let anyone call you antisemitic for saying that. You have said nothing about Jewish people, you have only said that a nation is committing war crimes, which is plain as day.

The brutal cognitive dissonance you manage to encapsulated in this comment is impressive.

Russia could withdraw from the country they invaded, too. That might be a much quicker solution.

You are … making my point.

I worry sometimes that the reddit exodus brought mostly bellyachers.

The sheer boringness of these repeated questions about the size, growth, health of the fediverse.

Fuck metrics. Jesus, do you mot get it at all?

Fuck this sim they said they would never make because 2020 was supposed to just be a live service.

Plus, they didn’t deliver on tons of promised things, like multicrew.

Don’t buy this, don’t trust MS.

I thought he was a free speech absolutist?

The problem is there isn’t a good joke here. 🤷‍♂️

Why do you do this?

Yeah, I am well aware. The absolute fuckin morons we put in charge as humans can’t seem to figure out how not to fuck everything up.

Your mistake is thinking I don’t think invading a sovereign nation for trumped up reasons is wrong.
