This is quite the sweeping statement
GEBBL··on Accessing Max Verstappen's passport and PII through FIA bugs
Strange, the site is run by an Ian Carroll, but the examples show Sam Curry, who is a very famous bug bounty hunter.
GEBBL··on Hire People Who Care (2020)
Is it common that folks are going into work at 11am and leaving at 4pm? I thought America had a crazy work hour culture
GEBBL··on How Frogger 2’s source code was recovered from a destroyed tape [video]
I feel this was an ‘of it’s time’ thing, but I am so glad we have moved on from this. I wouldn’t enjoy working in a workplace where this was acceptable.
GEBBL··on The Art of DJing: Avalon Emerson (2019)
Avalon Emerson is such a great dj and producer. I’d love to see them live sometime - I’ve a great set from 2017 of theirs on SoundCloud that’s really eclectic. Love the style.
GEBBL··on Sid Meier's Civilization VII
Very excited for this - think the age transitions is a great way to spice up the middle game, which often turned into a slog.

Might be worth considering moving the arch of the site to a SaaS solution like netlify to really benefit from the scaling capabilities of serverless.
GEBBL··on Satoshi – Sirius emails 2009-2011
Irish?
GEBBL··on It's time for developers and enterprises to build with Gemini Pro
I would love to develop on this, and onboarding looks pretty straightforward and pain free.

However with Googles history of junking projects, I just wouldn’t have the confidence to take this any further than a hobbyist tinkering.

GEBBL··on Lean4 helped Terence Tao discover a small bug in his recent paper
Is it possible that small bugs or assumptions in a root paper could cascade through referencing papers leading to wildly inaccurate outcomes 5 or 6 papers down the line?
GEBBL··on UK pulls back from clash with Big Tech over private messaging
Would this have impacted on e2e encryption with SaaS apps or mTLS between one micro service to another?
GEBBL··on Mohamed Al-Fayed began life as a porter in Alexandria and died as a billionaire
A good person - may he RIP
GEBBL··on nic.funet.fi: Serving freely distributable files with FTP since 1990
Quite modern thinking when you write ‘for an intelligent human user… what she wants to do’.

Normally ‘he’ would be used, or maybe at that time. Just something interesting I saw.

Very interesting to see the files are still there!

GEBBL··on Ask HN: Why is open source vulnerability management still an unsolved problem?
Dependabot it is good for scanning dependencies of popular languages but it does not pick up ‘code smells’ like sonarqube would.

In addition, some vulnerabilities only appear at build time, so you would need to add in scanning during the pipeline.

It’s hard to get a full picture of the entire build process, and even still, vulns do get through, for example you forget to implement logic to prevent people from seeing the administration section of your app.

Security is part machine, part human effort - hard to catch everything, on top of the millions of projects and repositories out there, not all of them on GitHub.

GEBBL··on [dead]
Seems pretty serious - her family have travelled to Balmoral in Scotland.

Could be a worldwide historic event happening right now.

GEBBL··on Whatever hit the Moon in March, it left a double crater
Does the moon take a lot of impacts that would have been destined for earth?
GEBBL··on How to Do Hard Things
The advertisement is at the top of the article and I was reading about flat file first before I realised I was reading an ad instead of the article. Annoying layout

I did too!
GEBBL··on PoC||GTFO 0x21 [pdf]
Humbling to read!
GEBBL··on Can no longer view websites on smart display
Look like their own support agents are unaware of the change.
GEBBL··on Ten Years of ThinkPadding
I still have a backup x220 that I run with 16GB ram to run various containers, vm images and other x86 workloads that I can’t with my M1 Mac.

It’s an excellent low power second option.

GEBBL··on Ideas that have been beaten to death
Hmm, I would say the process of note taking is an important part of my retention.

I refer to my notes a lot. I worked with a guy who never took notes and was able to remember everything. I’m not that smart!

GEBBL··on Kagi: A Premium Search Engine
Stick it to the man! Good answer :)

One of the funniest paragraphs I have read here!
GEBBL··on Flowers Make a Nice Gift
Guys, I have a girlfriend.

If I buy her flowers, she seems to really appreciate it.

Other suggestions, such as dumpster diving for flowers may not be appreciated as much.

Make of that what you will.
