  • Even in open source, responsible disclosure is generally possible.

    See, e.g. Spectre/Meltdown, where they worked privately with high level Linux Kernel developers for months to have patches ready on all supported branches before they made the vulnerability public

  • Yeah, my calico is super careful to never extend her claws when playing with me, but she will get her claws in her toys and just look at me or flail wildly until it flys away, even with her nails trimmed 😂

  • If you sell more than 1 million, it breaks even at apps that cost $2.75, so if it’s less than $2.75 the developer is making less on the epic store

    If you sell less than 1 million copies, it’s 3% less than the App Store, and only works in the EU

    All with Epic who’s traditionally not been keen on multiplatform support… it seems like a hard sell to me

  • At a high level, microkernels push as much as possible into userspace, and monolithic kernels keep drivers in kernel space

    There are arguments for each e.g. a buggy driver can’t write into the memory space of another driver as easily in a micro kernel, however it’s running in the same security level as userspace code. People will make arguments for both sides of which is more secure

    Monolithic kernels also tended to be more performant at the time, as you didn’t have to context switch between ring 0 and ring 1 in the CPU to perform driver calls - we also regularly share memory directly between drivers

    These days pretty much all kernels have moved to a hybrid kernel, as neither a truly monolithic kernel nor a truly micro kernel works outside of theoretical debates

  • Thanks for the in depth explanation.

    When I’m using it from my work laptop to work’s server to access internal sites, it feels very client -> server.

    When they said peer to peer, I was worried I was somehow also exposing my personal devices to work’s network

    I didn’t realize there were so many other ways to set it up

  • Do you mean it’s fully bidirectional?

    E.g. connecting to the WireGuard “server” my work set up allows them full access to my internal network?

    I would have assumed I would need to set some sort of reverse routing in that case

  • Google blocking RCS after their complaints about Apple not supporting their standard is really funny, but why CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 in this case?

    The Google Messages app is Google Proprietary as is their server implementation for RCS
