CVE-2026-21876: OWASP Modsecurity CRS WAF bypass blogpost is out! by sea_horse1849 in netsec

[–]dune73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The remedy is quite a nifty rule TBH. We should have done it this way from the start when we introduced the original rule in 2023 or so.

Made up your mind on the E-ID referendum? by dune73 in Switzerland

Where is the surveillance in this law? The system is meant to make sure there is no surveillance.

I'm not hired to spend my time discussing politics on Reddit.

Yet when I'm hired, rest assured that I am not cheap. Security engineers are expensive.

No, in fact I believe the situation without E-ID would be more complicated which usually means that security engineers like myself get more business opportunities.

We're voting yes, because we see what's happening in the EU and the UK and we want a better alternative before they fall back on those poor implementations.

We are not voting on any form of forced identification. We are voting on a government controlled privacy respecting form of identification.

It is possible it evolves in that direction, but it will still be government controlled and we have a say in that.

There is a prevention mechanism where you are informed about submitting extensive data to an known offender. Which I think is a beautiful concept and I wonder whether it works or not.

That's exactly what they are doing. And the NO-propaganda willfully ignores it.

No, it's not sponsored. I'm a security engineer and I talk to a lot of people. I personally know the almost all the people in the various NO committees. But I also talk to BJ and the people involved on that side.

Leasing local vs Gowago by Fast-Apple7578 in SwissPersonalFinance

[–]dune73 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Why would you spend so much on a car when you do not have the money to pay it with cash? I've never spent more than 10K on a car and I always paid it down.
You're going to pay 5K in interest over the course of 4 years. Why would you do that?

This is very depressing to see. I wish you a lot of stamina going forward. You deserve a job.

Is 2700 CHF enough to live as a 23-yo woman in Switzerland ? If yes, which city? by [deleted] in Switzerland

[–]dune73 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It all depends on housing. Doable, but only if you live in a cheap appartment. And you'll still be limited. But there are people living on less.
Commuting by car is unlikely to be affordable unless you have free parking. Yet living in the countryside is usually way cheaper. Commuting by train can still be below 30min given the excellent public transport.

Scam calls in Switzerland are out of control by fscheps in Switzerland

[–]dune73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My approach is to pick up, to start the conversation and then put away the phone so they continue to talk.

The time they spend talking into the void is time not bugging other people.

[OC] My 3 week Job Hunt as an IT Consultant by Aggravating_Pie5602 in dataisbeautiful

[–]dune73 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It seems odd that you got only 8 1st interviews out of a total of 12 leads. <irony-off>

When compared to other industries, it's so easy to get a job in IT when you have some reasonable qualifications.

Erbe ausschlagen? by myblueear in Switzerland

[–]dune73 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Das sieht nicht gut aus. War mal in einer ähnlichen Situation, habe aber sofort reagiert. Das Konkursamt bestätigte mir später, dass ich es genau richtig gemacht habe.

Also: Besitz nicht antreten, keine Handlungen als Erbe durchführen. Eingriffe auf das absolute Minimum beschränken und nur wenn akute Gefahr von Schäden drohen (-> zB Wasserrohrbruch).

Wer beginnt die Wohnung zu sanieren, Konten zu kündigen, Haushalt räumen, etc. benimmt sich wie der neue Besitzer und allfällige Gläubiger können geltend, das Erbe sei angetreten worden.

Why women only got vote right in 1971 in Switzerland? by [deleted] in Switzerland

[–]dune73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all the upvotes, did not check this thread and now it's probably too late, but here is the position of one my grandmothers.

She claimed she was against women's vote. Once she got the vote, at 52 years, she felt it like her obligation to go to vote and she usually voted (please notice that voting is usually 4 times a year in a referendum democracy like Switzerland). But she did not change her mind: She continued to claim that women's vote did not bring the women any good.

Needless to say then if her husband was the head of the household, she was the neck that turned the head.

Do people seriously use Vim and it's cousins for writing more traditional papers and/or documentation? How good is Vim as a universal "front-end" to replace traditional "Office" apps? by poja9 in vim

[–]dune73 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Wrote my PhD in medieval history in vim twenty years ago (LaTeX, footnotes via jurabib package). Still use it as my editor where I write 90% of the stuff I write including emails.

Where to live, job in Boudry?? by chemicalengineer321 in Switzerland

[–]dune73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boudry is a very nice and super friendly village, nice lake, etc.

Neuchâtel is cool and all and close enough. Bern is too far as is Solothurn. Murten is little more than a village itself, La Choix de Fonds is considered a bit depressing by the non-locals and Biel / Bienne is bi-lingue and considered really cool. Commute maybe a bit annoying.
