How does these kind off trackers scanners work - if the thing that they are given as input is an apk?
Surely these APKs don’t want to broadcast publicly all their tracking partners, and would just bury tracking requests deep inside the code.

Are tracking scanners really sophisticated disassemblers?

What do they suggest for the secure way to validate the header line?
Let’s say it is Hash: SHA1 and then a million nbsp and then a newline

Is the header line now considered invalid because of arbitrary character limit?
Is it invalid because the maximum length of a known hash function is (insert figure here)?
Should the million nbsp be a part of the text being signed?

At 09:10 - they demonstrate injecting text that does not break signatures - by appending text after manually inserting null terminator.

• Is null terminator a character that can be inserted using any enhanced text editor? How do I do that in vim?
• They go on to say that \v\r is not a new line - but actually I thought that Unix style of text documents end a line that way (\r)?

He’s crass and obnoxious, picks fight with strawmen feminists, but he was right

Am I losing my mind? All magnet links are metadata, no?

Generally true - but multitouch was a real innovation. I’m not familiar with other manufacturers perfecting touch interfaces AND design paradigms optimized for it.

We’ll see… We’ll see…

I went over the powershell script out of boredom,
Found this

try {
        [void][System.AppDomain]::CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies(); [void][System.Math]::Sqrt(144)
    }

Anyone knows why they are trying to do 2 tasks that actually do nothing?

What’s the light switch thing above Proton Mail?

… Isn’t master the current production code? How do you get a master that haven’t been touched in 15 years?

I imagine it goes like this:

1. Fridge gather nearby SSIDs
2. Samsung partners with Google/Meta
3. Cross reference SSIDs with the ones being collected from Android devices/Meta apps
4. Get advertising IDs from devices likely in this house
5. Profit

Or, and much much cheaper:

1. To continue configuring this fridge please install this app via play/apple.

No problem - just do a quick overview of the search function code, find a bug, submit a PR fix, and then wake up and remember that we’re talking about M$

A volume of NTFS that is filled entirely by folders named “trans porn” would mean that there isn’t a single folder in there that contains 2 folders.

Speaking of which - can someone find the link for “Unicode does not work like this” kind of website that emphasizes that there is no simple “character limit”? Like "how many characters is an emoji? " or “Is NBSP a character”, “are non-latin punctuation marks a character”

Any bug bounty program that isn’t part of the source control repo website (GitHub/Lab…) Will not enjoy the deserved exposure for such a program, but, the day that GitHub realize this - they will want a cut of that deal

Wrong, its GPU.
Ever since the crypto boom - it was GPU.
Even after the inevitable AI crash - it would still be GPU.

Take. It. Down.

Do you know how much CSAM was on Lemmy when it first got started?

This kind of service should be open for friends and family only, NOT the whole wide world.
