thank fuck

If you don’t use Microsoft Azure cloud services then it shouldn’t matter, for now. Might want to just avoid running those for a little while.

The article also says:

It’s unclear precisely how the compromised botnet devices are being initially infected. Whatever the cause, once devices are exploited, the threat actors often take the following actions:

• Download Telnet binary from a remote File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server
• Download xlogin backdoor binary from a remote FTP server
• Utilize the downloaded Telnet and xlogin binaries to start an access-controlled command shell on TCP port 7777
• Connect and authenticate to the xlogin backdoor listening on TCP port 7777
• Download a SOCKS5 server binary to router
• Start SOCKS5 server on TCP port 11288.

So maybe setting up some firewall rules could also help prevent further problems.

This has some massive vibe synergy

We really live in somebody’s dystopian fiction. Life imitates art.

They might also just be the target demographic for pig butchering.

• Middle Class
• Over 40
• Conservative Male (lonely)
• Greedy / Self-serving

But yeah there is definitely correlation with low cognitive ability.

Tech bros are tech broing?!

Mozilla relied on an Android NDK to build correctly, became no longer available right as a firefox vulnerability came out and the Fennec dev was away from home.

You can update Fennec I heard, just not through the regular means.

More specifically Google made it difficult to update, if I am not mistaken?

I’m not convinced the Fediverse is devoid of pedophilia, I think we all need to be wary of it and report it whenever we see it.

Well technically you can’t just keep having transactions until it is untraceable with BTC. It’s all documented on the coin, its on the blockchain forever and always. You can trace every BTC everywhere it has been from its inception. That’s why the FBI love it so much, the US Federal Government as a whole owns more than 1% of all bitcoins as a result of asset seizures.

I think it would take a lot longer than you expect with those shenanigans, but its still not good yeah.

Nah it was both

I’m honestly happy to see that it just had a fuel malfunction instead of the implication of an outside cause…

Yeah, but another big issue is that big companies can afford to bribe or buy out the patent holders in the first place. Ideally, the patent holders would benefit the most from everyone making their tech, but instead they benefit the most from one company being the exclusive manufacturer and highest bidder.

The act of an agreement asking a patent holder not to sell to other manufacturers in itself should be illegal.

Your suppositions are not infallible, mine do not need to be absolute truths to contend with yours.

Counterpoint, having a currency where every token is tied into its own transaction history might be unpopular with large businesses for other reasons. Like maybe they don’t want to be that transparent or accountable. The FBI have made public statements about how much easier it is to track criminals who used Crypto.

Your opinion seems to contradict reality.

Primes are useful for unique combinations in cryptography, for securing and encrypting connections and communications as well as storing sensitive data such as account ledgers.

AI is the opposite of useful, it creates fake information to dilute real information.

Yes but when we use power to find new primes then we know them and can use them in cryptography, but if we use power on AI then we dilute current knowledge with fake knowledge. So it’s a pretty stark contrast imo.

I am speaking about societal problems in context of society as a whole, as I have been the entire time.
