This doesn't stop the vehicle from recording telemetry, just transmitting it

Take your car to a dealership for service and one of the first things their software does is download all of the data and phone it home

To me, doesn't feel much different than when infra-as-code became popular in the 2010s

It was a huge shift in the world of system administration, gave birth to devops, and, along with the rise of containers & cloud computing, it radically altered how companies ran their infrastructure

Some people leaned into it, others didn't and a huge rift opened up between them

I used to say "automate all the things" - I still do, but I used to too

AI tools are just an acceleration of that mindset and in my world of cloud/devops/sre I'm heavily leaning into AI-driven development and daily workflow

> // Assume everything in the dir is a vaild image file

Yep..

And image files were, and continue to be, a huge exploit attack vector

I've moved from gitlab -> gitea+drone -> forgejo+woodpecker

Works great for small-medium scale

Yep, same here

MAC + Temporary Containers extension is how web browsing should be handled by default imo

No website deserves permanence of any data in my browser unless I so choose

I haven't seen similar functionality in any of the new generation of browsers, nor any of the Firefox spinoffs as-yet

That's the direction container runtimes are trending

Amazon has been doing it with Firecracker for a while and Kata containers is another popular one

What a surprise, a brand new account that seems to only spew negativity and false information. Reddit might be more your style ;)

I just replaced a 2009 MacPro

It had many hardware upgrades over the years - upgraded CPUs, 128GB RAM, 4TB NVME storage, a modern AMD GPU, USB3/c, thunderbolt, etc

The only reason it got replaced is because it became too much of a PITA to keep modern OSX running on it (via OCLP)

Replaced with an M4 Max Mac Studio, which is a nice and faster machine but with no ability to upgrade anything and much worse hardware resale value on M-series I'll have to replace it in 2-3 years

Yes you can still update to 15.7.3 the usual way in Settings

It'll present you the Tahoe upgrade but underneath in small print it'll show other updates, which you have to then open and manually select the 15.7.3 update

And you really should keep up on the point updates because there's been a ton of major security patches since 15.4

What you call scaling up sounds more like monetization. Others (especially customers) might call it enshittification instead. Youtube is a great example of how bad it can get.

Why Mozilla won't let people financially contribute directly to Firefox development and continues to pursue these stupid monetization paths is a mystery.

HN hasn't focused on those topics in a long time, they rarely are on the front page. Skip the top 20 articles and you'll start to see some interesting content instead of all the VC & AI drivel.

Hackaday is a content aggregator site that usually has more content on these topics - https://hackaday.com

Or there are still some good old blogs out there with RSS feeds http://www.righto.com/ http://oldvcr.blogspot.com/ https://blog.ret2.io/

Possibly the most common open source mailing list software, mailman, has had configuration options to address both email address and header exposure for at least 15 years

At least with email, you're in control of what shows up in your inbox as well as message routing with filters of your choice

Interesting to see this utilizes kata-containers project alongside virtualization.framework. Cool project.

I keep a SPARCStation 20 around for some nostalgia

NetBSD still supports it, and a wide variety of other SPARC systems https://wiki.netbsd.org/ports/sparc64/

Agreed

cries in .x3f & Sigma Photo Pro

The gaming isn't quite like CS, more 'tactical' oriented, but the modding scene is good - Ground Branch

It's worse than that - SLS siply can't do what it was supposed to on paper even after 10's of billions, resulting in the secondary boondoggle of the Lunar Gateway which will waste billions more and still fail to achieve lunar-relevant

> can someone outside of NASA send requests to Voyager to change its code?

Unless you've got your own very-very high power transmitters and large dishes, you're not communicating with either Voyager satellite

"Newer" science & research satellites from the late 2000s onward do support a variety of encryption in transit and authentication from the ground stations

Surely the corporation that built the on-device scanning and recognition that runs on your opaque little computer box to find pictures of your dog wouldn't lie or "accidentally" keep the csam scanning running on the device too?

And certainly the corporation couldn't be be coerced by the government that's built the largest surveillance apparatus in human history to keep the csam feature running on billions of devices?

Yes, the corporation can be trusted.

Depends on your workloads and needs. It's not as mature as k8s and there are rough edges but if you're into the Hashicorp ecosystem and can run your workloads in FreeBSD jails it's pretty slick - think golang & rust apps, web, gaming servers, etc

A couple of tools which are both working on jail management & packaging

- bastille https://bastillebsd.org

- pot https://potluck.honeyguide.net

bastille is great for personal and small setups, pot is aimed at larger scale and meant to be used along with hashicorp nomad+consul

At this point, why not switch to using a real database like mariadb or postgresql? These days you don't even have to run it yourself, every cloud provider offers it as a service and can handle backups, patching, replication for you

the last big us-east-1 outage was ... DNS - and it's usually DNS or software-defined core networking causing these cascading failures

Loss of DNS causes inter-service api calls to fail, then IAM and all other services fail. Anything not built to handle those situations with backoff causes a 'stampeding herd' of failure/retry and exacerbate the outage

Review the AWS statements about outages here - https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/technology/pes/

OpenWRT runs on some Ubiquiti hardware, check their compatibility list

Or stop using the crap YT frontent entirely - https://yewtu.be

Run your own alternate frontend - https://github.com/iv-org/invidious

For Firefox there's also https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl

One more extension related to container management - https://github.com/kintesh/containerise

This lets you set regex/wildcard to contain subdomain or redirect happy sites into a single container

Another game with good gunplay, fast action, and a CS-like feel is Insurgency: Sandstorm

Firecracker has been running AWS Lambda & Fargate for a few years now

There's also similar microVM project with a bit more container-focused support called Kata

Can Ventura run x86 VMs on M1/M2?

I thought it was only able to run ARM VMs which can _utilize_ rosetta to run x86 code?
