I don't think is is a backdoor. At the moment I wouldn't consider this article any more than FUD.

It's unclear to me if the security company has actually said what the vuln is or not, but if it's what was presented in the slides linked in the article this is at worst something that can be "attacked" from a computer connected via USB (and I'm pretty sure it would also require special software already on the ESP32), where the attack is sending out possibly invalid bluetooth messages to try to attack other devices or flashing new firmware to the ESP itself. It's not a general "backdoor" in the ESP32 itself. At least that's the best interpretation I've been able to make. Happy to be corrected if anyone finds more info.

  1. FOR PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION, "THREE-DIMENSIONAL PRINTER" MEANS A COMPUTER OR COMPUTER-DRIVEN MACHINE OR DEVICE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING A THREE-DIMENSIONAL OBJECT FROM A DIGITAL MODEL

Well, that's a broad definition. I guess to whomever wrote that, a CNC mill is also a 3d printer.

You're an Agnostic.

Agnosticism is the view or belief that the existence of God, the divine, or the supernatural is either unknowable in principle or unknown in fact.

Point to point wireless network link: https://store.ui.com/us/en/category/all-wireless/products/af-24

As for what it's for, it could be anything. Possibly just for the camera that's also on that pole?

They may block IP addresses associated with consumer ISPs. Assuming that's the case, I would guess you're seeing that as an HSTS/TLS error because their network is trying to trick your browser into redirecting to/displaying an error page hosted by some part of their network.

Definitely satire, the context from earlier:

  1. Firefox is worse than Chrome in their implementation of ad snitching, because Chrome enables it only after user consent.

C was originally created as a "high-level" language, being more abstract (aka high-level) than the other languages at the time. But now it's basically considered very slightly more abstract than machine code when compared to the much higher level high-level languages we have today.

We tried that in the 90s, it went poorly: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans_fat#History

The day Firefox shutters its doors is the day the internet truly dies.

*the web

The internet has so far been doing a much better job surviving as a proper decentralized system than the web.

What is really needed, [Linus Torvalds] said, is to find ways to get away from the email patch model, which is not really working anymore. He feels that way now, even though he is "an old-school email person".

I keep thinking about installing this, but the required permissions seem a bit excessive:

This add-on needs to:

  • Input data to the clipboard
  • Access your data for all websites

Anyone know if the 'All Access' permission is really required for what this is doing? It just feels wrong. There isn't some sort of "Control Navigation for These Domains" that it could request for each enabled site or something is there?

If you have any straight straws, you might want to hold them up to the light. They get pretty grody on the inside.

Calandra shared more information on Discord, revealing that the "entire video team" has resigned in response.

This includes Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw, who created the video review series Zero Punctuation.

Confirmation from Yahtzee: https://nitter.net/YahtzeeCroshaw/status/1721687212541280425

Today, I formally resigned from The Escapist and Gamurs. I don't have the rights to Zero Punctuation, but whatever happens you'll be hearing my voice again soon, in a new place. Join this discord for updates in the coming days: discord.gg/uFNQKKh6Jq

From the linked Discord:

nickjcal24 — Yesterday at 5:47 PM @everyone since things are happening fast, the entire Escapist video team has either been fired or resigned as of tonight / tomorrow.

This Discord will become the place for what's coming next.

More news tomorrow.

nickjcal24 — Yesterday at 8:28 PM @everyone we're going to set the Discord to read-only for the rest of tonight so we can get other work done that we need to do.

Tomorrow you will know more about what our plans are for the future, along with a livestream on Wednesday at 11 AM CT.

We'll share the links to where all that will be tomorrow afternoon.

Thank you SO MUCH for the support. It means a lot to the whole team and we're excited for what we're cooking up next.

Please be good to one another and keep the positivity up. What happened happened and if you've been with the new version of The Escapist since 2019, you know we just keep moving forward.

We're excited and you should be too.

If your distro offers it, rootless podman + podman system service is the best setup, IMO. That will give you a docker command that is 1-to-1 compatible with docker and lets you use tools like docker-compose that expect a docker service socket. Then you can just follow tutorials that only explain things for docker.

How can I spy on myself? (news.idlestate.org)
submitted 2 years ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I'm curious to see what information I'm blasting out to the various services I depend on for internet (ISP, DNS, probably Cloudflare, etc.).

Are there any easy to setup, entirely self-hosted tools I can run on my home network that would allow me to snoop on my own traffic.

I want more than just DNS, so I'm not just looking for pihole and its ilk. I want to see things like SNI and any non-protected traffic that any of the devices on my network might be sending that I just don't know about.

Ideally, it would be something I could leave on without affecting my speed/latency, but something to turn on occasionally and spot check would be better than nothing.

My router runs VyOS, so I should have quite a bit of flexibility in what I do with my traffic, though I never have figured out if/how to deploy custom software to it...
