only hobbyists and artisans still use the standalone

pymixedveggiespackage (created usingpip freezeof course) which helpfully vendors the latest peeled carrot along with many other things. just unpack it into a clean container and go on your way.
2·24 days agoFunny that blog calls it a “failed attempt at a backdoor” while neglecting to mention that the grsec post (which it does link to and acknowledges is the source of the story) had been updated months prior to explicitly refute that characterization:
5/22/2020 Update: This kind of update should not have been necessary, but due to irresponsible journalists and the nature of social media, it is important to make some things perfectly clear:
Nowhere did we claim this was anything more than a trivially exploitable vulnerability. It is not a backdoor or an attempted backdoor, the term does not appear elsewhere in this blog at all; any suggestion of the sort was fabricated by irresponsible journalists who did not contact us and do not speak for us.
There is no chance this code would have passed review and be merged. No one can push or force code upstream.
This code is not characteristic of the quality of other code contributed upstream by Huawei. Contrary to baseless assertions from some journalists, this is not Huawei’s first attempt at contributing to the kernel, in fact they’ve been a frequent contributor for some time.
Wasn’t Huawei trying to put a Backdoor into linux?
as far as i know, that has not happened.
what makes you think it did?

12·1 month agoThe headline should mention that they’re breaking 22-bit RSA, but then it would get a lot less clicks.
A different group of Chinese researchers set what I think is the current record when they factored a 48-bit number with a quantum computer two years ago: https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.12372
I guess the news here is that now they’ve reached 22 bits using the quantum annealing technique which works on D-Wave’s commercially-available quantum computers? That approach was previously able to factor an 18-bit number in 2018.
🥂 to the researchers, but 👎 to the clickbait headline writers. This is still nowhere near being a CRQC (cryptanalytically-relevant quantum computer).
All two-letter TLDs are ccTLDs.
However, several of them are not in ISO 3166-1.
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.
Where are you getting 60%? Google’s IPv6 Adoption page has it under 50% still:
(while other stats pages from big CDNs show even less)
If you have
::/0in your AllowedIPs and v6 connections are bypassing your VPN, that is strange.What does
ip route get 2a00:1450:400f:801::200e(an IPv6 address for google) say?I haven’t used wireguard with NetworkManager, but using
wg-quickit certainly adds a default v6 route when you have::/0inAllowedIPs.
You could edit your configuration to change the wireguard connection’s
AllowedIPsfrom0.0.0.0/0to0.0.0.0/0,::/0so that IPv6 traffic is routed over it. Regardless of if your wireguard endpoint actually supports it, this will at least stop IPv6 traffic from leaking.
ipv4 with an extra octet
that was proposed as “IPv4.1” on April 1, 2011: https://web.archive.org/web/20110404094446/http://packetlife.net/blog/2011/apr/1/alternative-ipv6-works/
yep, the concept of a “personal carbon footprint” was literally invented by an advertising agency working for British Petroleum https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/aug/23/big-oil-coined-carbon-footprints-to-blame-us-for-their-greed-keep-them-on-the-hook
This video is full of jarring edits which initially made me wonder if someone had cut out words or phrases to create an abbreviated version. But, then I realized there are way too many of them to have been done manually. I checked the full original video and from the few edits i manually checked it seems like it is just inconsequential pauses etc that were removed: for instance, when Linus says “the other side of that picture” in the original there is an extra “p” sound which is removed here.
Yet another irritating and unnecessary application of neural networks, I guess.
7·2 months agoLemmy added an alt text field for image-only posts a few versions ago; it would be nice if more people would use it.
At least this post does link to the mastodon post which it is a screenshot of.
I really don’t get how its different than a search engine
Neither did this guy.
The difference is that LLM output is (in the formal sense) bullshit.
To answer your question: yes, YTA 🤦
Also, I’m deleting this post per asklemmy rule 3.
The TLDR is that the article doesn’t explain that the reason it is circular (not to mention “invincible”) is because that is the defined boundary of a national park:

thesun.co.uk Mystery of perfectly circular invincible ‘Goblin Forest’ surrounding a sacred volcano in the land of Hob… Vera Demertzis 4–6 minutes
The lonely, almost perfect conical volcano sits in an eerily circular forest
A LONELY volcano surrounded by a dark green forest dubbed the “goblin forest” has left explorers baffled by its perfectly circular appearance.
Sitting at 8,261ft tall, with a six mile radius , Mount Taranaki is the second highest peak on New Zealand’s North Island.

The iconic Mount Taranaki volcano in New Zealand’s North Island is so striking, that it once doubled as Mount Doom in the “Lord of the Rings” and Mt Fuji in “The Last Samurai”.
The lonely, almost perfect conical volcano sits in an eerily circular forest containing thousands of warped and ancient kamahi trees fighting for space.
The trees are extremely twisted and deformed as a result of having to grow over and around the fossilised remains of trees that were destroyed in past eruptions.
The trees are also covered in hanging mosses and liverworts, adding to its creepy appearance. Read more world news
In 2017, the mountain attained a new level of protection when it was granted the same legal rights as a person.
The status is an acknowledgment of the Indigenous Māori people’s relationship.
Despite its perfectly circular appearance from above, the volcano has a history of dramatic change.
The mountain side has collapsed and rebuilt 16 times, with each cycle sending large debris avalanches down its flanks from past eruptions since it first formed around 135,000 years ago.
Steep slopes, loose sediments, high rainfall rates, and buried faults all contribute to its tendency to collapse.
The iconic volcano last erupted 200 years ago, but is still considered active and occasionally spits out mudflows.
Researchers believe that there’s a 30-50 per cent chance of another major eruption in the next 50 years, potentially effecting more than 100,000 people.
Recently, a hiker was rescued from the clutches of the mysterious mountain.
The hiker had called for help after he realised he was going into hypothermia.
He had been on a day trail run when he was caught out by weather in very cold temperatures, local police said.
A police spokesperson added: "Unprepared for the local conditions, the solo traveller was running out of food, water, and phone battery, and was 1400 metres up the mountain when he phoned for an ambulance.
“Taranaki Police Search and Rescue, the Taranaki Rescue Helicopter and alpine cliff rescue members were scrambled in an effort to get the man off the mountain as quickly as possible.”
Mount Taranaki isn’t the only perfectly circular mystery.
A mysterious spinning island shaped like a perfect circle has left explorers baffled for years.
Known as “The Eye” the uninhabited patch of overgrown vegetation floats around a crystal clear lake in Argentina slowly moving each day.
The bizarre natural phenomenon sits in the swampy river of Parana Delta in Buenos Aires and it has left many experts stumped over why or how it moves so freely.
Those lucky enough to have travelled to the island say it is almost a perfect circle due to the movement of the land mass.
Overtime the corners of the lake have managed to rub against the island as it moves and eroded itself into 360 degree smooth outlines.
Incredible aerial footage shows the 387ft spherical island, known locally as El Ojo, surrounded by a crescent of water.
The leading reason as to why the island floats is due to a natural process that sees water currents slowly shape and rotate the island in strong currents.
A few other shocking theories suggest it may have belonged to an ancient civilisation. READ MORE SUN STORIES
Or a more bizarre theory that claims the incomprehensible perfection and isolated location may be linked to extraterrestrial life.
Some say El Ojo could be a hidden UFO base but so far no evidence has backed this up.
