this blog does not get tired of testing Android ROMS that enhance privacy 🙂 (actually it would be nice, if software support for those devices is at least 10 years X-D because it is a constant tiresome race) Yes it […]
in other words: how to print-output a lot of <html> special characters inline from a python script, that is run by apache2 webserver. how hard can it be right? configure apache2 (on CentOS7, RHEL7 it is called httpd) to recognize and […]

BIT FLIPS are a COMMON thing in the universe 😀 so EEC RAM ACTUALLY MAKES SENSE 😀 “Studies by IBM in the 1990s suggest that computers typically experience about one cosmic-ray-induced error per 256 megabytes of RAM per month”[15] As […]
scientists predict human leven AI by 2047 so DON’T HOLD THE BREATH WHILE UNDOUBTATLY MACHINES ARE VERY FAST AT CALCULATING STUFF How many operations per second ((F)OPS) a human brain can do is up to debate + ongoing research, it […]
ssh next to https (TLS/SSL) is probably THE most essential building block of secure (unhacked) open source networked computing. CVE-2023-48795 is a (wo)man-in-the-middle-attack, so an attacker would have to sit on the same network (LAN) or somewhere between ssh client […]

might be minor change to some but it is actually pretty interesting to see that: what is the state of resources? from the left to right: CPU usage, RAM usage, NETWORK usage, SWAP usage, disk usage GNU Linux is not […]
vendors & users can do: keep firmware and apps as up to date as possible this requires that vendors also publish patches for critical security problems for old devices (!!! AVM Fritz does it, Samsung & Apple can too!) install […]
“os-prober is disabled with the grub 2.06 upload, which is obviously a bit controversial and the outcome is not necessarily in the best interest of our users” “os-prober is inherently insecure as it mounts all partitions on your disk using […]
today gotta say “thank you Apple” for still developing cups.org further 😀 (well “further” is kind of an exaggeration as the last release was Apr 28, 2020) it got a management web interface since forever available via localhost:631 just a […]
