Mysk: Apple's Private Relay tool can leak users' IP addresses due to issues in Apple's WebKit browser engine, also affecting OnionBrowser, a Tor browser for iOS (Joseph Cox/404 Media)

Apple's "Private Relay" isn't.
«“In short: any website that supports, or pretends to support, passkeys can see the user’s real IP address despite having iCloud Private Relay on,” security researcher Tommy Mysk, who discovered the issue along with Talal Haj Bakry, told 404 Media.»

Fucking around with a Sony A7S that was loaned to me ages ago. I'm finally at the point with the work that I do where I'm feeling the need to be able to run a camera myself, even if it's just to clearly communicate with people I work with.
It has a Sony FE 1.8/50 lens, that's all I've got to work with 😂

Remember back when building computers we burned a cd/dvd from a working machine and kept giant binders of install media? And then things changed and we could make a bootable USB device from whatever promotional 4GB stick people were handing out at tradeshows, but often it couldn't boot?
The working machines are now laptops which no longer have optical drives at all. Or USB A.
I found an old external dvd burner and have it running through a Thunderbolt3 hub that still has USB A ports.
Ahahahahahahaa!

The question is not whether they "consider themselves" above the law. A system is what it does; if the elites are able to exist beyond legal repercussions then it doesn't matter what they claim in public.
This will only change when the people at the top are thrown in jail, and the fear of being thrown in jail for decades makes them behave differently.

Would any of y'all be interested in an archival curation tool that can handle merging large collections of files?
I'm in the middle of designing something — git is inspiration but the wrong tool for this job — but that allows reintegrating diverged collections of materials, and propagating enough information that if you were to merge two folders, you'd get a relevant set of questions about the contents to successfully and meaningfully merge them.
It's aware of the fact that embedded metadata changes.
My goal is to make a library simple enough that one could embed it in an operating system's file browser to surface intelligent behavior, and that it could form the basis of media servers too, taking the scanning-and-recording-files duties.

I've been looking at cars for some while (really need a new one) and found a Kia Ceed from 2019. Any day soon someone will drive it to me so I can have a look at it. It's looks good on paper and pictures - but I'm picky on the driving experience. And scared... it may be one of the most expensive purchases I've done ever (exept for bying my apartment). What if it breaks down.... I have nightmares and dreams of rolling in comfort.

Sometimes people post RSS/iCal/etc feeds on web servers and then get conned into slapping Cloudflare in front. So feed readers get captchas instead of a feed.
But Cloudflare edge workers are privileged. So one can write a tiny proxy to fetch from the original website without a challenge.

Att vara stolt över någonting, är det inte knutet till någon form av prestation eller är det, formellt sett, möjligt att vara stolt över saker en inte rår över. Jag tänker på utsagor som att vara stolt över att vara född på plats x, eller vara stolt över något kroppsligt (ex hårfärg, längd) osv. Vad säger ni andra - skulle jag kunna säga att jag ex är stolt över att ha två fötter? #språk
