I work in IT, been a software developer for decades.

I have a full on smart home, all the smart tech you can imagine. All connected and running locally via home assistant.

Smart tech isn't bad, shitty tech is.

I'm the UK, 10kWh from a large brand (sigenergy) costs about £2k, but cheaper brands you can get about 3x the storage for that price.

Not the same guy but I'm having both installed right now. I'll be buying cheap electric at night to fill my batteries and running the house all day from that, while exporting and selling anything from the solar as well as any excess.

Every unit I sell is worth 12.5p, the cheap rate is costing me only 5.2p. eventually that export rate will go away, I'm which case I'll be able to be self sufficient about 2/3 of the year.

Exactly, hence why it's very difficult to run a truly "private" DNS. Your best bet would be to run your own resolver on a VPS or something

I was born unable to comprehend what career I wanted, pretended I wanted to be an astronaut then stopped.

See how fucking stupid this is as an argument?

You still have to perform lookups by reaching out to the root resolvers.

From the paper itself:

We had a video-conference and numerous email exchanges with Bitwarden. At the time of writing, they are well advanced in deploying mitigations for our attacks: BW01, BW03, BW11, BW12 were addressed, the minimum KDF iteration count for BW07 is now 5000, and their roadmap includes completely removing CBC-only encryption, enforcing per-item keys and changing the vault format for integrity. On 22.12.25 they shared with us a draft for a signed organisation membership scheme, which would resolve BW08 and BW09. At our request, to maintain anonymity, they have not yet credited us publicly for the disclosure, but plan to do so.

I didn't look at the response to other Password managers, but the gist here is that the article is overblowing the paper by quite a bit and the majority of the "issues" discovered are either already fixed, or active design decisions.

Rust is completely correct to be a dick about it as well. Type safety is there for a reason.

This makes me laugh because I work for a UK company that was bought out by an American company, who's trying to treat the UK staff how they would treat US staff - and it's not going well.

Our American colleagues cannot fathom how much time we take off for holidays, especially around Christmas. They also got a shock when doing some recent "restructuring" they couldn't just fire a bunch of UK folks.

But confusingly, Trump has continued to send Vance out to campaign events all week, while the Republican presidential nominee has remained largely out of the public eye. Given Vance’s low appeal, it’s unclear how this strategy helps the campaign.

Trump is going to blame Vance for the failure of his campaign, calling it now. He'll have the usual shit about dems as well, but he's going to scapegoat vance and throw him under the bus just like he's done with literally everyone else before him.

If I'm buying a sword, even if that sword is going to spend 99% of its time on a wall or in a display case, I still want to know that it feels good to hold, otherwise what's the fucking point of owning a sword.

If I see a sick in the street, I'm going to do the exact same thing, I ain't no expert, I just like to experience a little joy in my life where I can.

I'll never understand why people put Steve Jobs on a pedestal. He might have been a very astute businessman , but by all accounts he was a horrible human being and a colossal prick.
