m-s-y··on Volatility: The volatile memory forensic extraction framework
It’s a fantastic project, but what’s the benefit of posting this here, today?

There’s no context other than the link to the GitHub project. And it’s not like this is remotely new…?

m-s-y··on The TSA's New $45 Fee to Fly Without ID Is Illegal
Did you have to show the airline your ID when checking in?

As far as I can tell, the TSA is one thing, while airline policy is another.

The law says it’s not required for security, but airlines might be justified in carrying out their own policies? Honestly curious.

m-s-y··on The TSA's New $45 Fee to Fly Without ID Is Illegal
This isn’t like the 1st amendment.

Public carriers like airlines are not allowed to refuse service for the reason of refusing to show ID.

They can refuse for other reasons, but the are not “in the loop” when passengers currently get screened by the TSA, which is where RealID is “required”.

m-s-y··on Surely the crash of the US economy has to be soon
This happened yesterday. Not quite 30/50, more like 20/30
m-s-y··on There's only one Woz, but we can all learn from him
That “but” needs to be an “and”.

m-s-y··on macOS 26.2 enables fast AI clusters with RDMA over Thunderbolt
Not Apple’s ram.
m-s-y··on macOS 26.2 enables fast AI clusters with RDMA over Thunderbolt
Can confirm. My M3 Ultra tops out at 210W when ComfyUI or ollama is running flat out. Confirmed via smart plug.
m-s-y··on Waymo cars ignored stopped school buses in Atlanta. What happens now?
A high school classmate of mine (many many years ago) was unexpectedly and brazenly pulled out of a school-wide assembly by local police one morning.

It was the talk of the school. Rumors spread like wildfire. Consensus was that whatever she did, it must have been terrible.

She had driven past a stopped school bus.

If this reaction is acceptable when a person does it, a $1 fine for a company is a slap in the face to law-abiding citizens.

m-s-y··on iPhone Typos? It's Not Just You – The iOS Keyboard Is Broken [video]
…and when I type standard, but clique-centric, abbreviations and slang among my own groups, the iPhone messes those up, too.

Options also exist to pre-populate the predictive wordlists with our own terms, and to turn off predictive text altogether.

m-s-y··on The email they shouldn't have read
> The point of this story is…

The point is that without the identifying information it might as well be a creative writing exercise.

Good anecdotes have power because they actually happened and are verifiable to some degree. This is neither.

m-s-y··on The email they shouldn't have read
What’s the point of not naming names? This could easily be just a creative writing exercise.
m-s-y··on Ladybird passes the Apple 90% threshold on web-platform-tests
such as? I consider myself a power user and I've never run into anything I couldn't handle or get around. Genuinely curious.
m-s-y··on The dangerous intimacy of social location sharing
The article’s first narrative revolves around a phone being held captive in a police station for days because the station was closed for the weekend?

What kind of police station maintains business hours?

m-s-y··on I spent the day teaching seniors how to use an iPhone
This might work for you, but doing this to an untrained, unexpecting, or visiting Apple user on your LAN will make their Apple device experience 1,000x worse.
m-s-y··on How Israeli actions caused famine in Gaza, visualized
the article also states that the US has looked into the reports of Hamas stealing the aid and found that none of the aid appears to have been stolen by anyone.

given the current US administration and their hard-on for Israel, I can't imagine this is a faked report. if it were faked, it'd be to agree with Israel

m-s-y··on That Secret Service SIM farm story is bogus
Honestly, it doesn’t matter.

Staying silent generally doesn’t take an act of courage. No one exercises their speech muscles by staying silent.

The true revolutionary act is exercising our right to speech, honestly and frequently.

The important part is not to keep silent.

m-s-y··on Is the decline of reading making politics dumber?
No, it’s the paywalls. Can’t read what we can’t see.
m-s-y··on The Synology End Game
FWIW my qnap was also hammering my samba. After a few hours it would limit my transfers to 2Mb.

I fixed it by removing the virtual network switch that gets installed if you use the container services.

m-s-y··on 4chan will refuse to pay daily online safety fines, lawyer tells BBC
>It's a huge stretch to call the existence of 4chan in anyone's best interests.

Absolutely, 100% incorrect. You obviously don't approve of 4chan's content or mission, but that's not the point. It benefits everyone when anyone takes a stand because their legal rights are under attack.

"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

>This is not a slippery slope

Again, incorrect.

Any type of punishment for 4chan due to their legal content is damn close to the definition of "slippery slope". You're familiar with the "anti-slippery slope" argument already ("First they came for 4chan and I said nothing, because good riddance!"), so you're obviously cogent enough to understand what you're saying.

>The sheer anarchy of the libertarian mindset that much of this site supports is not a good thing.

This is not for you to decide. Your mindset is why free speech laws must exist in the first place.

m-s-y··on Modern CI is too complex and misdirected (2021)
Not a single definition of CI in the posting at all.

A tale as old as time I suppose…

RLHF -> Reinforced Learning with Human Feedback

It’s not defined until the 13th paragraph of the linked article.

Good to see Secure Shellfish get a mention. Great x-device connection syncing, too. Plus, the full Files app integration is a great complement to the shared/sync’d folders.
