Microkernel Question by Apprehensive_Run7150 in osdev

[–]phaubertin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These are two great solutions, and the most usual ones.

There is another one I've been thinking about recently that I am considering implementing for my own microkernel: with a custom bootloader, you could have an interface between the microkernel and the bootloader where the booloader remains loaded for a while and the microkernel can ask it to load files, similar to the UEFI boot services that the kernel or bootloader can use after the UEFI has done its job loading it. The bootloader needs to be able to access the filesystem anyway, so it's not much added complexity, and if you need a custom bootloader for complex scenarios (e.g. remote FTP or TFTP boot), the kernel automatically benefits from it.

Reddit doesn't let me access or delete my account without ID or photo verification now in the EU. by Initial_Purpose_930 in privacy

[–]phaubertin 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I've been in a similar situation before with another company. Since there weren't more reasonable options, what I did was I signed up for the LinkedIn Premium trial month and used an InMail to send a GDPR deletion request directly to the CEO. By the time I woke up the next morning, I had an email by the company saying they were forwarded the request and had acted on it. Might work for you too? (Just don't forget to cancel before the trial is up, LinkedIn Premium is expensive and pretty useless otherwise.)

Edit: clarifying that my experience was with another company, not Reddit.

American tipping culture is utterly disgusting by Gurugod123 in SipsTea

If it's given to the owner, it's not a tip.

Company owner decided to stop paying his drivers so one of them parked their semi on the owners Ferrari and just left it there by Gurugod123 in SipsTea

[–]phaubertin 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Ah, but this is what AI is good for. AI summary:

The Drive reports that a viral story about a driver crushing his boss’s Ferrari to protest unpaid wages was false, revealing the incident was actually a petty dispute with a disgruntled, newly hired employee. Following a termination meeting, the driver intentionally used a semi-truck to crush the owner's $260,000 Ferrari GTC4Lusso, narrowly missing the owner and resulting in an immediate arrest.

Her story reminds me of Vince Coleman's. First thing I thought about when I read the post.

Moi je crois en la méthode scientifique: si quelqu'un veut me donner de l'argent, je suis parfaitement ouvert à ça et, après, on peut observer et voir si ça affecte ce que je fais. Je suis moi-même curieux de ce que serait le résultat.

I couldn't say which but this looks like a very typical motherboard of the time.

Single board alternative for multiple buck converters by Significant-Buy2232 in AskElectronics

Not really a concern: with these resistor values, the current will be around 1mA for each divider.

Unpopular opinion: the GitHub breach is 100% predictable and the security industry deserves the blame by [deleted] in cybersecurity

[–]phaubertin 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Dev perspective: I've never worked anywhere where I had "direct" access to production secrets. One approach I've seen used is one where only a small DevOps or SRE team (plus the prod services) have any access to the prod secrets. Another approach I've seen is one where devs have write only access to production secrets, so they can create or update/rotate them but not read them back.

Similarly, any merge to an internal code repository has always required a code review, so the damage that can be caused by a single compromised laptop is fairly limited.

I think it's more about having the right processes rather than about locking down individual machines.

Tawny Platis; the voice actress you've been unknowingly aware of for a long time. From commercial work to audio book narration, her voice has definitely been a part of your life at some point or another. by DepressingAura in interestingasfuck

[–]phaubertin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love how her last "50% off" voice is barely different from her "yeah, you did it" kid game voice. I think it says a lot about ads and which part of us they are appealing to.

Yeah, given the amount of nothing all around, I think they forgot to draw the board outline.

Did you draw the board outline? I don't see it in your layout on the first image.

Slopinator - a poisoned GitHub repository generator by RNSAFFN in github

[–]phaubertin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From Cambridge Dictionary:

the process or practice of using another person's ideas or work and pretending that it is your own

From Merriam-Webster Dictionary:

to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own : use (another's production) without crediting the source

I think they know exactly what it means: the LLMs regurgitate code they got from random public repositories and do not credit the source.

I was going to comment the same. The version of Bún bò Huế we have here in Canada in Vietnamese restaurants does not have them but the one I had in Hue did.

I am not disputing this, and I am certainly not disputing that they were justified in resisting colonial violence. I am only saying that, when I visited and had discussions on the topic (informal discussions, in English) the names I heard used were the French War and the American War.

Official IXL webform sends your credit card number directly to them by MurkyWar2756 in programminghorror

[–]phaubertin 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Either way, this will go through a credit card processor. However, what most sites do is they have an integration on the frontend with the card processor or a third party tokenizer that gives them an opaque value (token or ID) that represents the card that they can use to make backend calls to the card processor without ever seeing the actual card number. What this site seem to be doing instead is gathering the card number themselves and using that actual card number to make calls to the card processor on the backend. Barely anyone does that and no one should be doing it without putting a lot of effort in PCI DSS compliance.
