Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Clock but it is SELECT RomNum FROM Digits ORDER BY RomNum; --it will work this time
1·1 day agoConjugate the verb ‘to go’…
That’s true.
But the idea is that there are no precompiled binaries that are implicitly trusted.
So you CAN vet all of the code and artefacts, and if something doesn’t seem right you can trace it back to the code and understand exactly why, instead of seeing a black-box binary and coming to the conclusion “it’s doing something it shouldn’t, but I don’t know what or why”.
The idea is that you are in control of the entire build process.But yes, it would be extremely time consuming to vet GCC, build it from source and (I guess) compare checksum/hashes against published binaries. Then vet all of the source code of everything you need to compile for Gentoo, then compile that and compare checksum/hashes etc.
Which is why it’s in a 4chan meme.But I imagine governments agency will have some deblobbed Linux installs with the technical capacity to vet all the code and artefacts

Will have to try this.
KSP2 was a criminal flop.
Looking forward to Kitten Space Academy
It’s referring to binary blobs. A windows exe might be a binary blob.
These are distributed compiled. Even if the project is open sources, the binary blob might have been generated by a compromised compiler.This is one of the reasons the XZ Utils compromisation went unnoticed for so long. One of the compressed files used for testing contained malicious code that would be included in the build artefacts (IE, the final compiled binary) under very narrow and specific circumstances.
So “deblobbed” means absolutely everything in the OS was built & compiled on their computer from original source code

Technology@lemmy.world•Is Fast Charging Killing the Battery? A 2-Year Test on 40 PhonesEnglish
3·3 days agoThe planned obsolescence is most likely a deliberate trade off rather than actual planned obsolescence.
If fast charging did do significant damage to battery life and this was known at the time of implementation, the decision would have been “users want fast charging phones” Vs “users want devices that last a long time”.
In this instance, the convenience of fast charging absolutely would have won.“Users want a clear and easy to use device” Vs “users want a robust device”. Which is why we all have glass screens, and the glass technology had to catch up to further expectations.
“Users want easy wireless connectivity” Vs “users want fast and reliable network speeds”. WiFi wins, and has to catch up to further expectations.
Or “you went to college? You’re overqualified for flipping burgers”

60·7 days agoThere is a statue in Glasgow that always has a traffic cone on its head.
The council regularly removes it, and its always replaced.
It’s had different variations over the years, from pride to independence to EU flags.
The council proposed a renovation of the statue including raising the plinth to make it harder to replace the cone. It was shot down with massive public outcry.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equestrian_statue_of_the_Duke_of_Wellington,_Glasgow

11·11 days agoBecause WASM is a VM in terms of isolation.
Docker is just chroot with marketing (and tooling & ecosystem).So, the idea of wasm is something that could actually run anywhere, without everything required to prop up a docker/k8s runtime

Canada@lemmy.ca•Canadian citizens to be photographed when entering and exiting the U.S., new regulations state
1·19 days agoNot for a tourist visa. That’s just target with a “you have 4 hours to shop”.
I’ll be honest, I don’t get the shopping at target mugshot reference thing.
Any country you visit will stamp your passport on entry and exit.
The EU is in the process of automating that by taking biometrics and foregoing the passport stamps (https://www.eeas.europa.eu/eeas/travel-europe-european-entryexit-system-ees_en so far, it’s automated gates with a passport scanner, a mugshot and fingerprints)
Sounds like the US is as well

Canada@lemmy.ca•Canadian citizens to be photographed when entering and exiting the U.S., new regulations state
93·19 days agoPretty sure this is what the EU is also introducing, instead of passport stamps and border agents.
It’s 1 person sitting in a booth verifying 8+ automatic passport and “person scanner” (ie, takes a photo and fingerprints of you). Matches entries and exits to the Schengen zone. They approve you, and you pass through the gate.
Not sure about the “retention” aspect, tho. Certainly retained for the 90 days in a 180 day period thing. Beyond that? I dunno.But any border control zone is going to have CCTV which will have its own image retention policy.
