I ended up creating an account just to block communities/users. At the time there was a poster posting to his own instance that was federated with lemmy.world, and he was reposting nothing but reddit posts, and the volume was such that they had to go. With no algorithm there’s no way to just see subscribed stuff without losing out on discovering new things.
And just a tip, Lemmy will let you export (to JSON) your configuration options to include who you’ve blocked.
Who defines the untrusted applications though?
¯\(ツ)/¯
If GNOME wrote it then they probably trust it. If you’re using GNOME, then you’ve accepted their security model on some level.
At least you know to go look for it. Attackers will only get more sophisticated:
according to their stated security model, untrusted applications must not be allowed to communicate with the secret service.
That won’t be a popular stance to take when someone eventually steals a bunch of cached, unlocked credentials off of D-BUS because of an oversight somewhere in the npm/aur/pip/cargo/whatever ecosystem.
More rabbit hole:
What kind of car?
They used to be. Go back far enough in time and you could climb up under the hood into the engine bay to work on it. All that went by the wayside to get smaller packaging, lighter weight, and better fuel efficiency.
Now you need special tools or special code readers to solve/diagnose all vehicle problems. The large scale farmers are dealing with this now with the large combines and harvesters needing a tech with special equipment to read all the codes where the older tractors from the 70s and 80s can be repaired.
Well, nothing to do but start at the first one and work our way down…
Dramatically reduce the legal ability to shoot anything other than a hog.
Chronic wasting disease in deer is bad enough as it is. We did in their natural predators.
market it as doing your patriotic duty to take out a hog instead of buck, or something.
Already been done: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsn9BrNsVPo It’s a scale problem.
https://wildlife.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/wsb.787 tl;dr: there were more, healthier hogs when a bounty was paid out for them.
Hm. Had been thinking of it in terms of controlling the local file system.
Thanks.
people then concluded that FROST is harder to exploit in real-world scenarios than in the lab
What happens if there’s an extra 4GB of stuff laying around?
A jeep renegade I rented did ok
You must’ve gotten a good one.
I will take modern rust prevention tech every day all day. The control modules and circuit boards are a hole in repairablity, and there’ll be a wall where nobody makes them anymore and the specs are not published (considered proprietary/trade secret/whatever), and that whole vehicle will just have to be scrapped. The world won’t ever see the end of old body-on-frame vehicles with crate engines. Speaking for myself the “rose colored glasses” is a wish for the best of both worlds. I wouldn’t doubt it’s out there being done somewhere, but I’m sure it’s cost prohibitive to do it, or people are doing it for themselves.
Maybe I’m just complaining because I don’t personally have the time/knowledge/workspace to do what I want in that area. C’est la vie.
