  • ASML and TSMC Can Remotely Disable Chip Machines If China Invades Taiwan

    Jump

  • It's probably something easier to set up, like a couple of fuses in the package that, when a signal is applied to a particular set of pins, will blow and disable the chip.

  • Linux 6.10 Honors One Last ReiserFS Request Made By Hans Reiser

    Jump

  • The prisons he was in previously definitely are not the touchy-feely kind. These days he's in California Health Care Facility, which is geared toward prisoners with significant mental health problems (notably, multiple serial killers). So, therapy of some kind definitely makes sense. However, Reiser's been denied parole each and every time he's been up for it (next review in 2025), so it is unlikely that he's getting out.

  • Edit: Excuse me, he's in California Health Care Facility, which is a state prison which is geared toward patients with long-term medical needs (acute chronic diseases, debilitating injuries) and acute mental health needs (which Reiser definitely fits the profile of). He was transferred out of San Quentin some years ago.

  • Ask Amazon why they picked a name that was the same as a small publishing company that had been around for years and sued them into a smoking crater in the ground.

  • What is the most appropriate way of tracking web traffic?

    Jump

  • The folks who're recommending analysis of your site's access logs are correct. However, Github Pages doesn't have any such notion. You might have to go with the recommendations of moving stuff over to a VPS.

  • Anybody have a VPN link into HK? It'd be easy to find out.

  • It still strikes me as odd that anybody ever trusted a mega.

  • Chat Apps, Government Ties, and Transparency – Threema

    Jump

  • Doable, but a huge pain in the ass because of conflicts in the protocol. I spent about a year trying to suss them out and come up with a fix but never figured it out.

  • Are right wingers creating FUD around Signal?

    Jump

  • One account, multiple devices logging into it (in my use case, personal laptop, work laptop, two phones).

  • Chat Apps, Government Ties, and Transparency – Threema

    Jump

  • I do not think so, no. However, Amazon is certainly big enough to be un-humorously compared to nation-states as well.

  • Chat Apps, Government Ties, and Transparency – Threema

    Jump

  • It's a Google hosted service, which is arguably worse because they may as well be a nation-state unto themselves.

  • They do this periodically. We saw it during Occupy, the Arab Spring, BLM, now Palestine (again). As a general rule, when folks go into the streets, the tighty righties start up the FUD.

    There is a reason why spooks learn tradecraft - threat modeling, procedures, awareness, and techniques - more than they learn technology. It would behoove folks to to learn a little about that before hitting up the appstore.
