The problem is not the RSA math itself but that it is both extremely slow and implementing it is particularly susceptible to bugs and side channel attacks https://blog.trailofbits.com/2019/07/08/fuck-rsa/

Huh, I misremembered then. I stand corrected.

Notable though that there are specific countries (such as India) where adoption is far higher at 72%

Huh weird that it would be removed, that’s a fair comment.

For Web scraping and other activities by so-called “legitimate” companies to varying degrees, this may be the case. But for general bots, they are generally attempting to scan and probe the entire IPv4 range, since it can be exhaustively checked in a reasonable amount of time and the majority of IPs have hosts on them. Enumerating the entire IPv6 space is quite literally impossible without some external list of hosts known to exist, due to the number of hosts. This happens, but it’s a much higher hanging fruit for an attacker so far fewer will bother. So you generally see few to no continuous probes on things like sshd over IPv6 unless you have a domain name. I’m guessing a lot of bots (in botnets) are dumb old technology that doesn’t even have IPv6.

NAT was always a hacky workaround. And although it effectively ends up functioning as a firewall under normal usage when combined with a typical “drop invalid incoming packets” rule, it was not designed to be a firewall and shouldn’t be assumed to always function as one. A simple accept established, default drop firewall rule should do the trick and should be used on both v4 and v6 regardless of NAT (and probably is on your router already).

If your goal is privacy in the sense of blending in, you can still use NATv6 and this is a good use case for it. This is what VPNs like Mullvad use. If your goal is privacy in the sense of being more difficult to track across sessions, you can enable IPv6 privacy extensions which essentially generates a new IPv6 address for every connection your device makes. So in this sense it’s more private than IPv4

Or you could just… learn to use the modern internet that 60% of internet traffic uses? Not everyone has a dedicated IPv4 anymore, we are in the days of mobile networks and CGNAT. IPv4 exhaustion is here today.

Best to set a firewall rule with nftables to block non-vpn traffic from leaving (you should also do the save for IPv4 traffic to prevent leaks in case the tunnel disconnects)

Accessing printers? Resolving hostnames of internal hosts? I can’t imagine having a lan without mDNS

I think this will change. Nvidia hired devs on Nouveau, NVK is coming along, etc

Some of it probably comes from other companies that are unable or unwilling to relicense it even if Nvidia wanted to

Looks like the birdie has escaped phoronix…

In the small chance that this comment is serious, Nvidia is found this because the corporate server-based customers need the ability to troubleshoot and debug the driver.

The actual trade secrets are being moved into the proprietary firmware blob and out of the driver.

PNG is a rather slow algorithm based on the DEFLATE compression from zip/gzip. You could extract to bmp or some other uncompressed format. First, to ensure it is lossless, make sure it supports the video’s pix_fmt without needing conversion.

Adopted daughter. But still…

Never thought I’d see banknote inflation rule 34

Oh okay, that makes more sense now

How in the fuck could that possibly be seen as reactionary nonsense??? That’s quite concerning if that’s what the moderation is like on this community

I have a 5900x (zen3), and apparently I got a bit unlucky with the silicon and ended up with a CPU that’s slightly unstable at its stock voltages and stock boost clock. The system would freeze and reboot randomly, and the bios would report an MCE error. This crash could be reproduced with near 100% success by doing sha1 hashing specifically for some odd reason. This is not a Linux issue, it’s a hardware defect.

It may be an Asus motherboard specific thing, but I found a workaround by going to the bios settings, precision boost overdrive, and increasing the voltage scalar to like 7. Now it’s been two years and I have only ever had it happen once since I changed that, so I’m happy.

It’s useful for security researchers to collect and analyze what the newest attack bots are trying to do, in order to learn how to defend against it and study the malware they drop. There are some cool videos on YouTube about decompiling malware dropped by the bots.

I already force Wayland global for SDL games because the xwayland one has a horrible stutter while the native Wayland works flawlessly. Making it the default sounds reasonable to me. If specific programs don’t work with it, they can override it

It’s the spectral emissions lines

They are enshittifying, separately from this issue though.
