sure, i'll be around for the whole thing. should the impossible happen and lightning strikes me indoors, causing me to have an idea for what to draw, i'll post it

[-] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

oh boy... that was bound to happen sooner or later to be honest. almost anyone posting art to major platforms will have someone cross post that to e621 eventually and its really up to you if you are ok with that, or want to do something about it

is that legal? can they do that?

thats really much more of a question for a copyright lawyer (which im not), but that depends on the license of the art. unless stated otherwise and assuming that the work is even copyrightable, everything is usually all rights reserved, which (as far as i know) does make redistribution illegal in most jurisdictions. if it was licensed as CC-BY for example, this post should be ok since you are listed as the artist and have links back to your profile and the post itself

but thats the neat part! copyright rarely stops people from distributing art and memes

why is my art there if i don’t even like the 18+ stuff

for all kinds of reasons... for me (when i get bored enough) its always a "the archive must grow" kind of deal. there is this sort of desire to have everything nicely tagged and uploaded in one massive archive. it doesnt really have anything to do with being 18+ or not. there is lots of non-18+ artwork on there as well, but we all know thats not what people think of first. if anything, someone saw your art somewhere and thought it should be added to e6 so others can see it too. i dont think that the uploader had any ill intentions. they probably didnt even think that you might have reservations since youre not listed as DNP

i know there’s a takedown form

nice! have you also seen the DNP list? sending a takedown request will affect one post iirc, getting added to DNP goes a bit farther. getting added to DNP will either deny anyone from uploading your art, or will only allow certain uploads under certain conditions. for example you might be able to request that only original artwork without edits is posted

hope that semi-infodump gives at least some answers :D

It has been about six years since M82589933 was proven to be prime. Hope it won't take another six years to find the next one. This also marks the beginning of a new era of GPU supported prime discovery in favor of using Prime95.

The newly found prime has 41024320 digits, all of which you may download here: https://www.mersenne.org/primes/

apparently intel has finally figured out why 13th and 14th gen CPU are failing. the issue is mainly caused by a faulty microcode algorithm, which causes the CPU requesting more voltage than it needs and results in oxidation issues within the chip itself.

CPU's that do not show any symptoms yet could be saved by a microcode update, but there is no real hope for those that already started to rust away

So apparently Chrome ships with an extension that is invisible to the user, can not be disabled and allows any *.google.com page to get detailed information about CPU and memory usage.

It is apparently at least 10 years old, was originally developed to debug Hangouts and people do claim that it is also shipped in Brave and Edge.

Who knows what else might be hidden in there!

wonderful read. ive reached a point where i can do nothing but lean back, sip a drink and laugh while these companies race each other to destroy their platforms. might as well start betting on who does the next stupid decision...

Archie has been resurrected (archie.serialport.org)
submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Some people have apparently not only gone through the trouble of digging out the latest available version of Archie (old FTP indexer / search engine from the mid 80's / 90's before Google was a thing), but they even set up a fresh install and made a web interface available. Even better: The entire source code apparently also still exists.

breaking news: researchers discover that network protocols work as intended. mindlessly connecting to an untrusted network is still a bad idea.

to quote the article: "Do not use untrusted networks if you need absolute confidentiality of your traffic" or use HTTPS and a SOCKS5 proxy

perfectly level.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

ok, after reading that article fully, it does sound a lot less concerning than the headline would like me to believe. it is early in the morning (almost 13:00) and this is a great chance to expose how little i know about all that, so i will:

They believed SSH traffic was immune [...].

classic. we always think that something is perfectly safe until it breaks. also, looking at the article, the issue with RSA has been known since 1996. there had to be a useful application for this. such as TLS. and now some SSH implementations.

Last year, researchers found that [...] they were still able to passively observe faulty signatures that allowed them to compromise the RSA keys of [...] Baidu.com

no idea how this adds any value in a discussion about SSH, but i chuckled.
now the article also get to some more interesting stats.

5.2 billion SSH records. of that 590k with invalid signatures and 4.9k revealed factorization for a total of 189 unique private keys.

now i would very much prefer that last number to be a solid zero, but out of 590k faults, only 4.9k were usable for the attack. everyone that thinks "oh thats nothing. im safe." is still a fool, but it could be far worse. especially since this only target RSA and leaves ed25519 (and others) untouched.

but it just gets even better:

The researchers traced the keys they compromised to devices that used custom, closed-source SSH implementations that didn’t implement the countermeasures found in OpenSSH and other widely used open source code libraries.

if i was drinking something reading this, i would have spat it out laughing. i am that kind of fun at parties. this also partially explains why there are "only" 590k invalid signatures in over 5.2 billion records total. and judging by how good some companies and organizations handle updates (assuming there will be updates from cisco, zyxel, hillstone and mocana), this will still be enough to be used in some attacks five years from now.

yep. and i wouldnt be surprised if that was intentional. how quickly they backed off on that one very much smells like a classic door in the face tactic. this whole WEI thing is far from being over

a very interesting talk by Harald Welte about the complex mechanisms and architecture that keep eSIM working. prepare for a lot of acronyms

intel now joins the club with their take on GPU driver telemetry. they call it "Computing Improvement Program" and it can thankfully be disabled during a manual install, or in system settings after the installation is complete

[-] [email protected] 19 points 2 years ago

and im already dreaming of the day all of those (sometimes really hard to work with) pseudocode "implementations" that are scattered across wikipedia will be replaced with immediately runnable, CC-0 licensed code. itll probably take years, but i do like the idea
