They could make it difficult to open up the camera and extract its signing key, but only one person has to do it successfully for the entire system to be unusable.

In theory you could have a central authority that keeps track of cameras that have had their keys used for known-fake images, but then you’re trusting that authority not to invalidate someone’s keys for doing something they disagree with, and it still wouldn’t prevent someone from buying a camera, extracting its key themselves, and making fraudulent images with a fresh, trusted key.

The primary reasoning I’ve heard is that it’s easier to do arithmetic with numbers that are factors of your numeral base and 12 has more factors than 10 (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12 vs. 1, 2, 5, 10)

Base 12 seems a little impractical to me since humans have 10 fingers, which makes base 10 easier to teach to children, but it’s a matter of opinion i guess

τ is equal to 2π, which allows the formula for the circumference of a circle to be written more concisely (τr vs. 2πr or πd) but complicates most other places where π is used, like in the area of a circle (τr^2/2 vs. πr^2)

GIMP would be infinitely better if they just changed the name so we could talk about it around normal people without getting dirty looks

Oh yeah definitely, Apache is way better for anything remotely serious.

I know about the CGI standard, but mine does things a little differently (executable files don’t just render pages but also handle logging, access control, etc. when put in special positions within a directory), so I still think it was worth the afternoon i spent making it.

Maybe I’ll finally move it into a VM so I can send a link to it here without tempting people :P

i thought it was neat how php lets you write your website’s logic with the same directory tree pattern that clients consume it from, but i didn’t want to learn php so i made my own, worse version

#!/bin/bash doesn’t work on NixOS since bash is in the nix store somewhere, #!/usr/bin/env bash resolves the correct location regardless of where bash is

I’ve taken some precautions, it’s running in a container as an unprivileged user and the only writable mount is the directory where make writes rendered pages, but i probably should move it into a vm if i want to be completely safe lol

my website’s backend is made with bash, it calls make for every request and it probably has hundreds of remote arbitrary code execution bugs that will get me pwned someday, it’s great

edit: to clarify, it uses a rust program i made to expose the bash scripts as http endpoints, i’m not crazy enough to implement http in bash

it behaves like a static file server, but if a file has the others-execute permission bit set it executes the file instead of reading it

it’s surprisingly nice for prototyping since you can just write a cli program and it’s automatically available over http too

the PineTime can run for over a week in my experience, but it runs at 64 MHz and has 64kb of RAM, so telling time is pretty much its limit

I know that Calckey and its descendants support it since I verified my account on a Calckey instance, and Akkoma mentions it in this blog post.

ah wack, XWayland then? that should at least stop it from snooping on Wayland apps

It could, so while you’re using it you should make sure you don’t have anything sensitive onscreen.

If your desktop supports Wayland at all, you could switch to it while using Zoom, even if other things don’t work as well, then switch back when you aren’t.

If you’re using X, it would be able to read your inputs for other applications and such, but if you don’t do anything sensitive while it’s running it still won’t be able to do anything.

interrobang!

If you put zoom in a flatpak and tighten its permissions, it won’t be able to touch the rest of your system

Peanuts and dairy are usually possible to spot without checking the ingredients list, and they serve a distinct culinary purpose. They have valid reasons to exist, and are fairly simple, if a little annoying, to avoid.

HFCS does not serve a distinct culinary purpose (it’s pretty much just sugar but it benefits from corn subsidies), and is impossible to identify without careful scrutiny because it’s included in all sorts of foods that it has no business being in. The (purely financial) benefit it provides is far outweighed by its harm to public health.
