A very basic rule in developing any app that has a server and a client is that you never trust the client. Never. What do game devs do? They trust the client and try to make it trustable. That will never work. The anti cheat should be on the server : a player flying would be very easy to detect. Don't send the position of every players to every players.

That guy is a) a relentless liar and b) absolutely insane Why would you say those things? Why contradict yourself at 20 days interval publicly?

Nobody is forcing you to use the cloud, you can host your apps on your infrastructure. Of course the cloud has its uses, but I think it is way overutilized and many companies could save quite a lot of money if they returned to on premises.

Why would he do that? He has the closest thing to absolute power that existed since the independance of the US, without even getting elected and he would loose everything : the non-Nazis won't forget what he did, and the Nazis won't accept him.

Could they not refuse because they simply don't want to sell?

I thought it was already supposed to be in kernel 6.10? What happened then? https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-6.10-Merging-NTSYNC

Checking the phone number never was useful. It is my understanding that it is as easy as sender email to spoof, but without any of the protections that exists for emails.

The only way to be sure of who you are talking to on the phone is to call back a known number.

Could you run Mistral 7B on a consumer grade desktop ?

It is really great, even with a NVIDIA. Never understood the complaints about arch, but maybe I have Endeavour to thank for that

It appears I got things mixed up, it is a California law that comes into effect next year.

Guess what has happened in the EU?

It make sense, when you make a decision you make it based on the data you have not the truth. So security theaters are effective as long as people who are thinking about commiting a crime think it is working. And they care about getting caught.

Couldn't you just use the yubikey like normal if you have physical access to it instead of copying it ?

Well you don't know that, they're telling you that. First issue.

The second is that it can and will change in time.

Which is precisely the reason you shouldn't use an AV apart from the one packaged with Windows

If you have kernel access you can already do almost everything so a vulnerability on top of that isn't that bad since no one should have kernel access to your computer

Not for the duration of the stream, only for initial page load

Microsoft a key player in security ?

I have a VPS that uses 1GB of RAM, it has 6-7 apps running in docker containers which isn't the most ram efficient method of running apps.

A light OS really helps, plus the most used app that uses a lot of RAM actually reduce their consumption if needed, but use more when memory is free, the web browser. On one computer I have chrome running with some hundreds of MB used, instead of the usual GBs because RAM is running out.

So it appears that memory is full,but you can actually have a bit more memory available that is "hidden"

Plus knowing how most companies operates, there are all kinds of secrets, API key and others in the repo that needs to be thoroughly removed before releasing to the public.
