Brecht ist seit 70 Jahren tot und liefert trotzdem die pointiertere Analyse zur AfD-Debatte als so mancher Live-Kommentator. Florian Harms macht's möglich – Chapeau für die Idee, Chapeau für die Umsetzung. „Der Fisch schwimmt nicht zweimal ins selbe Netz", der Mensch offenbar schon, schreibt er. Zeit, dass die Lebenden endlich nachziehen. #AfD

In timing that is certainly good for a Republican Party looking for a last-minute rally ahead of the midterm elections,
CBS announced Wednesday that it will air a town hall with Vice President JD Vance on Oct. 17
— just two and a half weeks before the pivotal Election Day.
The town hall will air at 8 p.m., be moderated by “CBS Evening News” anchor Tony Dokoupil and take place in the key battleground state of Michigan.
Vance is expected to take questions from voters ac…

ROLoad-PMP: Securing Sensitive Operations for Kernels and Bare-Metal Firmware

Abstract: A common way for attackers to compromise victim systems is hijacking sensitive operations (e.g., control-flow transfers) with attacker-controlled inputs. Existing solutions in general only protect parts of these targets and have high performance overheads, which are impractical and hard to deploy on systems with limited resources (e.g., IoT devices) or for low-level software like kernels and bare-metal firmware. In this paper, we present a lightweight hardware-software co-design solution ROLoad-PMP to protect sensitive operations from being hijacked for low-level software. First, we propose new instructions, which only load data from read-only memory regions with specific keys, to guarantee the integrity of pointees pointed by (potentially corrupted) data pointers. Then, we provide a program hardening mechanism to protect sensitive operations, by classifying and placing their operands into read-only memory with different keys at compile-time and loading them with ROLoad-PMP-family instructions at runtime. We have implemented an FPGA-based prototype of ROLoad-PMP based on RISC-V, and demonstrated an important defense application, i.e., forward-edge control-flow integrity. Results showed that ROLoad-PMP only costs few extra hardware resources (< 1.40%). Moreover, it enables many lightweight (e.g., with negligible overheads < 0.853%) defenses, and provides broader and stronger security guarantees than existing hardware solutions, e.g., ARM BTI and Intel CET.

BallotBox Scotland: "It’s time everyone got serious about the Scottish Greens"
Some reflections from BBS, and a little pointer into what we should expect for the next parliament.
"The belief that right wing voters have to be courted and coddled, and left wing voters uncomfortable with that will just have to suck it up because they don’t have other options. It turns out they do, in fact, have other options"

A long read on a bugbear: few folk seem to care about understanding the Greens, and that failure has cost them over and over again. Following a record result, will that change, or will people just…

No day is the same, so that is one thing to keep you interested. When we’re not too busy, I get to remind myself that I work in a museum packed full of artwork, so it’s not like a stuffy old office, you know?
Q: You have a unique position where you get to see the art up close and personal, and I understand you’re also a musician and painter. How did that access shape or change your own view of making art?
