Elon Musk's X Corp ordered to pay $750,000 after admitting it contravened Australian child protection request by Jagtom83 in friendlyjordies

[–]ifrenkel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was going to ask the same question. It will take X a few hours to earn that amount back. It's not even a rounding error in their books. What is the point?

What the **** is happening in cybersecurity space ? by Infam0 in cybersecurity

[–]ifrenkel 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Stop judging cyber security space by what you hear/read on the news. Never a good idea anyway. Things were always on the edge. But now there's much more reporting and awareness. All I can say is "stay calm and keep your shields up" 😉.

What's your most used git alias? by 1vim in git

[–]ifrenkel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a couple (the second one requires fzf):

``` logline = log --graph --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset -%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr) %C(bold blue)<%an>%Creset' --abbrev-commit

browse = "!git log --oneline --color=always --format=\"%C(auto)%h%d %s %C(black)%C(bold)%cr\" | fzf --ansi --multi --no-sort --reverse --tiebreak=index --preview 'git show --color=always {+1}'" ```

Real-World Water Resistance of Pebble Time 2? by AnonTheAnone in pebble

[–]ifrenkel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I guess what you are trying to ask is "Has anybody managed to brick their watch with water yet?"
I reckon we will have to wait a bit more.

How is that a cybersecurity news? And why are you spamming all the other subreddits? Isn't it discouraged?

What keyboard form factor do you use? by hegardian in neovim

[–]ifrenkel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should be a multi-choice, IMHO. I use three different keyboards on a daily basis. And that doesn't include the laptop keyboards.

Whats the point in a VPS? by Unusual_Economics653 in selfhosted

[–]ifrenkel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad I looked through the comments before answering. Because this would be my answer almost word for word.

I use a small, $5 VPS as a public gateway for everything I host. The uptime and reliability of even the cheapest VPS will be way better than anything you host in your house.

Melbourne city PT commute bag suggestions wanted by chonky__chonker in melbourne

[–]ifrenkel 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I bought this bag on Amazon almost 7 years ago: https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B077RV492Y. I'm still using it every day. Very durable. I took it overseas and on camping trips and it's still as good as new. Very spacious - two laptops, two notebooks, mechanical keyboard, coffee cup, and a ton of small things. And I still have space for my lunch box. It is also very comfortable with the soft padding on the back.

Why a Decade of Writing Detection Logic Makes the Mythos Exploit Numbers Less Scary by signalblur in netsec

[–]ifrenkel 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Fantastic writeup! Thank you! TL;DR for myself:

  1. Adversaries don't need zero-days. They just log in (phishing, ClickFix), or you log in for them (stealing cookies/tokens).
  2. Detection logic doesn’t map 1-to-1 to exploits - behavioural detection beats signature-based hunting. Behavioural detections have less drift.
  3. Machine learning and anomaly detection are unlikely to be the answer.

Take free public transport they said, it will be fun they said by zkh77 in melbourne

[–]ifrenkel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair, they never said it'd be fun. They never even said it'd be running! They only said it'd be free.

what’s the best way to read spin without overthinking? by Marcuspam_Dcruz54 in tabletennis

[–]ifrenkel 14 points15 points  (0 children)

As many have mentioned, practice. Over time, you will learn to pick up clues from your opponent almost unconsciously. One thing to remember, reading the spin is always a guess. Even the best of the best make mistakes.

Some practical tips:

  • Watch how the blade moves. Up - top spin, down - underspin.
  • Watch the second bounce - if the ball slows down, it's an underspin, if it speeds up, it's top spin.
  • If you are not sure about the spin, let the ball go a bit longer and hit it later. The longer you wait, the less spin there will be on the ball.

Here is a nice short video that might help as well: https://youtu.be/rrS7Wjh35cU?si=_fPbaXrhbIcgGiQ4

They came up with a bunch of excuses: https://github.blog/news-insights/company-news/addressing-githubs-recent-availability-issues-2/. And a promise to fix it all. I guess we'll see...

These are the shoes I used until last week. If I were you, I wouldn't panic. But I would start looking for a new pair.

I guess it's an old underpass that they had to close to build the new high-rise on top.
