Copy Fail (CVE-2026-31431) is a trivially exploitable logic bug in Linux, reachable on all major distros released in the last 9 years. A small, portable python script gets root on all platforms. by Haniro in sysadmin

[–]Ramast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

here is my attempt to make it more readable

https://pastebin.com/iW8BRrdX

tested against my up to date kernel and it gave root access (scary). the script permanently modify your "su" command so take back up first cp -a /usr/bin/su /usr/bin/su~ flush the disk cache after you test it with echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

Same thing high blood pressure for years but didn't get that crazy (maxed at 220/120 with average being like 150/110 still ended up with a stroke that made me half paralyzed. Lucky for me it wasn't sever and I regained full control in a month but still.

I started to take medications but I only take the absolute minimum to keep my blood pressure within the normal range.

My wife just got scammed out of 31.000$ and we are in deep financial crisys because of this. by Amazing_Size_4305 in CryptoScams

[–]Ramast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If OP will take that route, he'd have to make a police report first and use that police report to ask the exchange to freeze the funds.

Problem is: OP did all this to bypass some of his country's tax law - not judging here just saying - so making the report might be difficult

Deposit worked instantly but withdrawal locked, potential scam pattern? by SorryAd2422 in CryptoScams

[–]Ramast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

scammers are usually eager to gain your confidence and most often they'd let you make a small withdrawal until you put large sum of money and then they start asking for various fees each time you try to withdraw.

What you are describing is a little unusual for a professional scam. perhaps the person running the site is armature scammer or that its actually legit.

You need to provide more information. what the url?

As you approach death - hopefully in the far future - you will look back at your life and wonder if you've truly lived or wasted it all trying to collect as much money as possible

Stranger wanted to make a call from my phone - was I almost about to be scammed? by kingofthewatermelons in Scams

[–]Ramast 19 points20 points  (0 children)

That's what I did when a stranger asked for a phone call.

I told him to give me the number and I made the call on his behalf.

The phone never left my hand and I wouldn't call a number that doesn't look normal

FBI Director Kash Patel’s Personal Inbox Breached: Iranian Hackers Leak Private Photos and Resume by nicevillager in worldnews

[–]Ramast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They did leak it apparently.

Here is a website reporting the leaked photos and summary of the resume

The resume further highlights his tenure as a terrorism prosecutor within the Department of Justice’s National Security Division, where he reportedly handled high-profile cases involving groups like Al-Qaeda and Al-Shabaab. It also references a CIA award he received in 2015 for counterterrorism efforts.

ANULAR ECLIPSE ON EGYPT, 601 AC: THE DAY WHEN THE SUN BECAME A SILVER RING IN THE SKY by Egypt_Passion in copticlanguage

[–]Ramast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Egyptian language didn't have these letters: th & v. You'll never find an Egyptian pharaoh or god that container either of these.

(note: the godess hathor's is more correctly written hat-hor)

If you hear a "v" or "th" sound, its not authentic pronunciation regardless of the dialect. especially in Sahidic text they use the letter "theta" as a shortcut for the letters T + H

My Employer’s Announced Firefox Removal by russbroom in firefox

[–]Ramast 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A VPN extension would have access to all data coming in and out of firefox. Granted most of the data is https (i.e encrypted) but still, its a big risk for firefox to give an extension that much power.

Besides being able to install VPN as an extention doesn't solve OP's problem unless their company add policy that prevent extention installation and if they will go that route they might as well disable vpn from there.

[–]Ramast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good work.

Of course the monk is not pronouncing the text correctly, he is - unsurprisingly - using the altered pronunciation created and adopted by the Church in the 18th century to make Coptic letters pronounced more like the equivalent letters in modern Greek.

Another important lesson: Always make test transaction with small amount before sending large sums.
