Mprotect stops any read and write and execute access to memory in both user and kernel lands (only rx or wx). Stuff like web browsers won’t work unless you have a program to mark it in elf to not use pax. However, this kills a lot of exploits with that turned on by itself (though there are probably work arounds if you are developing exploits which the other features would hopefully catch). That’s why people installed 3rd party unmainlined security patches, but that’s just me maybe idk.

I am having a hard time following what this does or why this is desirable. You’re saying there’s a patch this thing provides that … disables memory access … unless a flag is set in an executable … which will then bypass the security?

Client side anti-cheat faces similar issues, and there unlike your server you don’t control the hardware.

There are lots of options such that you can tune your false positive/negative rate. 🤷‍♂️ Tons of ways you can structure this depending on your game’s tech.

There are ways to detect and stop that, but they can and should happen on the server, not on the client.

Why would anyone want to run unmainlined security patches from a company?

This is how CrowdStrike happened.

This feels like security via business decision which is always the opposite of security. At least this would be open source now? 🤷‍♂️

The brutal cognitive dissonance you manage to encapsulated in this comment is impressive.

You are … making my point.

I worry sometimes that the reddit exodus brought mostly bellyachers.

The sheer boringness of these repeated questions about the size, growth, health of the fediverse.

Fuck metrics. Jesus, do you mot get it at all?

Fuck this sim they said they would never make because 2020 was supposed to just be a live service.

Plus, they didn’t deliver on tons of promised things, like multicrew.

Don’t buy this, don’t trust MS.

Timelines change based on interest.

Servo is a new browser rendering engine in Rust - seems interesting and gathering steam.

Don’t be too fatalistic - every time the corpos have come for the internet they have been circumvented. I don’t see it stopping now - especially since people like us are tired of this brand of bullshit.

You forget one thing: the bulk of his supporters are old as fuck. They don’t have a lot of elections left in them. I would be far less pessimistic about '28. (Not that I think it’s a lock for the left, just that if Trump loses this time he has really fucked up the GOP and it may take a decade or two to get back to the power levels they have now.)

Edit for clarity: I believe this is a cursed object in general, not just mine.

What kind of post is this? I see them sometimes on fedia.io - I can read the title but there is no image and it doesn’t seem to link to anything.

Anyone else on an mbin instance knkw what’s up with these?

Can you explain more why you think Ford’s 40hr week is bad?

I thought it represented a pretty marked improvement compared to typical job requirements at the time?

Ford is no hero. A documented anti-semite with lots of other bad takes, but I am not clear on why you would pick his working hours as the thing to highlight.

He venue shopped this to TX to get the judge he wanted. We are gonn have to deal with this bullshit until it can be appealed out of one of our national judicial shitholes.

Yep, and to the person justifying the IT department’s invasion of privacy: they’ve been lying to us for years, there are breaches ALL THE TIME. Workers will give up every right in the face of corporate excuses? 🤷‍♂️
