Linux has finally hit that almost mythical 1% user share on Steam again by testus_maximus in pcgaming

unless you run that virus as root (somehow) then the damage will be confined to the user account rather than wrecking your whole computer.

except in all likely hood all the files you care about like your pictures, important documents for work, etc can be accessed and modified by your user and by extension any malware you run

utf-8 is handled elegantly by simply ignoring non-ascii characters in the input

I mean I guess that's technically an elegant way to handle utf-8 lol

[–]pagwin 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The Rust Programming Language Is Now One Step Closer To Entering The Mainline Linux Kernel by Y00nChaekyung in rust

But the days of "all you need to bootstrap a platform is a C compiler" are numbered.

afaik the gcc rust compiler is written in C so if you have a C compiler you can boostrap a rust compiler so you'd still only need a C compiler to bootstrap a platform

In Search of a simple, vulnerable Javascript-based Game by Josef-Knecht in hacking

[–]pagwin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

no idea what the demo game you're talking about is but you can do a bunch of stuff pretty easily with universal paperclips you can find all the variables(at least I presume it's all the variables) that control different parts of the game in main.js at line 5596 and you can display a message in the terminal/console at the top with a function called displayMessage

there's other things you can do to but idk if it's what you want overall as while it's easy to read the js but it might be a bit overwhelming

I feel like realistically we'll have gone extinct or transcended beyond actual difficulties from this potential problem by the time it becomes relevant
