anyone wanna do a #Plan9 port for #CHERI ?
would hardware based #OCAP even be useful in it?
AFAIK file descriptors can already be used like capabilities??? but CHERI has stuff like linear capabilities and more, so. idk.
maybe it could reduce the IPC overhead of 9P?
I don't have time to look into this stuff but maybe someone wants to do something with the concept.

@Shamar @kaniini started with Pascal, moved to C.

Pascal is underrated now days, deserves a comeback :blobowo:

Complaining about Discord/Electron security 

Discord and Electron in general have become so prolific and follow the same general model of "Drop a ton of JS in a user-writable directory and run it with a souped up browser that has hooks into OS APIs most browsers don't" that we're going to see more and more malware targeting it.

It's like if a virus found every Python file in your homedir and altered it to run spying/propagation code, except far more users have Discord than they do a Python runtime and scripts in their homedir and this is far harder to detect because most users don't go rifling around in Discord's JS files.

I say all this to make a point clear: Electron as it's deployed today is inherently less secure than either a binary application in user space, or any kind of application at all in system space. It's a perfect storm of consistent attack surface, ease of malicious code injection, lack of privilege separation, and user-inaccessible black box.

Get used to trojans with Electron-targeting payloads.

This one-liner made me obscenely happy. Maybe I should just go home before anything ruins it…

mkdir phrack && cd phrack && wget phrack.org/archives/tgz/phrack && for i in *.tar.gz; do mkdir "${i%%.tar.gz}"; tar zxf "$i" -C "${i%%.tar.gz}"; done && rm *.tar.gz

Easy prediction: people who have been taught to confuse and through the misleading terms and will now be led to further accept the privatization of by small, innovative (and easy to acquire) start-ups.

@Shamar @Libertux Thanks for your feedback. We plan to open source our server side as well to enable companies to self-host Tutanota. This will be a small server, which can run locally.

Nonetheless, all the encryption takes place locally on your device (end-to-end encryption) so our servers don't see your encrypted emails and can't read your data.

We are going towards a world where people will be much more valuable than .

Qualche giorno fa in Norvegia due nazisti han rubato un’ambulanza e si son lanciati contro la folla ma per fortuna son stati fermati prima che compissero una strage telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/10/2

Ieri un gruppo neonazista ha tentato di dar fuoco al centro cultutale ebraico di Budapest haaretz.com/world-news/europe/

Le aggressioni nazifasciste proseguono da anni. Tutte note e documentate ecn.org/antifa/article/6192/fi

Eppure niente, il “pericolo nero” non trova spazio sui media mainstream...
