I read it as they'll invoice me up to $20. Not sure?

Did you have extra usage enabled before checking? Mine was disabled and I received the $20 credit.

4 maanden geledendiscuss

TBH, it looks to me as a trick to enable extra usage by baiting me with $20 credit by toggling on the feature that lets me burn another $20 without realizing it.

Toggling it again to turn it off immediately after (which I assume most people will miss) seems to guard against this.

I believe Android Work profile[0] would have limited the damage to the work profile rather than also impact the personal profile on a personal device.

Does anyone know if this is correct?

Traditionally, I used Python for personal tools optimizing for quick coding and easy maintenance. These tools commonly feed UI elements like waybar, shell, and tmux, requiring frequent, fast calls.

My approach is evolving due to NixOS and home-manager with vibe coding to do the lifting. I increasing lean on vibe coding to handle simple details to safely write shell scripts (escaping strings, fml) and C/C++ apps. The complexity is minimized, allowing me to almost one-shot small utilities, and Nix handles long-term maintenance.

With NixOS, a simple C/C++ application can often replace a Python one. Nix manages reading the source, pulling dependencies, and effectively eliminating the overhead that used to favor scripting languages while marking marginal power savings during everyday use.

You can use the linker to preload `nss_wrapper`[0] and overwrite anything using `nss`.

Here's an example:

  > cat hosts

  198.51.100.12 test4.tld
  2001:db8::12 test6.tld

From my experience, many (bad) websites consider "+" an invalid character and prevent you from using the address in this form.

Smart spammers can just strip the service name since it works the same for all Gmail users.

Really need dedicated addresses like Fastmail's Masked Addresses.

> Chipworks offers $50-250k to fully extract the eFUSE of one Intel i5 processor, so the eFUSE content is encrypted by a master key (called “global wrapping logic key” in the patent).

I wonder how readily things like this are known within the HW security community?

Elevated temps significantly impact the retention and are included in some datasheets by memory vendors, but often they are omitted and you need to request them.

For anyone wondering, this was written in 2019 and is no longer "new". I was confused by the following line since I recall this being available for sometime:

> By using the newly introduced dm-writecache device mapper Linux kernel module

Looked for a publication date, but nothing anywhere on the page other then timestamps in the command output mentioning 2019. Wayback machine confirms this as well[0]

Where do you get that? Sounds like they improved performance over the previous "fixes":

> Intel's internal tests show that the 0x12B update does not noticeably affect performance. Benchmarks and gaming tests, including popular titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and Shadow of the Tomb Raider, showed results within normal expected variations when compared to the earlier 0x125 update.

On Google Pixel 8 (IDK about other Android phones) you can press the power button + volume up button to launch a pop-up menu with the following options: restart, power off, lockdown, emergency.

If you select lockdown you'll be required to use a pin or password to unlock the phone.

> You're referring to a cloud-agnostic solution.

I actually mean that the service need not care if it's in the cloud or on-premise as opposed to whose cloud. Many of my services don't need to do anything in the cloud.

If you look at things like awesome-selfhosted[0] you'll see that this is the prevailing expectation of things describing themselves as "self-hosted".

> Embrasure is an open-source, self-hosted secrets management tool built on Amazon Web Services (AWS) for small teams seeking simplicity and security.

Was excited to hear about self-hosted secrets management, but expected "self-hosted" to mean I can host anywhere, but the depends specific AWS features.

Perhaps "unmanaged" is a more appropriate term.
