Microsoft opens a "high priority" bug ticket in ffmpeg, attempting to leech the free labour of the maintainers

Microsoft employee:

Hi, This is a high priority ticket and the FFmpeg version is currently used in a highly visible product in Microsoft. We have customers experience issues with Caption during Teams Live Event. Please help


Maintainer's comment on twitter:

After politely requesting a support contract from Microsoft for long term maintenance, they offered a one-time payment of a few thousand dollars instead.

This is unacceptable.


And further:

The lesson from the xz fiasco is that investments in maintenance and sustainability are unsexy and probably won't get a middle manager their promotion but pay off a thousandfold over many years.

But try selling that to a bean counter

Za kurióznu situáciu som si odšktol Petržalku. Chlapík tuším skončil až na psychiatrii

Voľby v Bratislave sú prevažne pokojné, incident hlásili v Petržalke

Podľa hovorkyne Petržalky Márie Halaškovej spôsobil incident odvolaný nominant jednej z politických strán, ktorá ho predtým nominovala za člena okrskovej volebnej komisie.

Nejnovější volební průzkum říká, že zatímco vládní ODS i nejsilnější opoziční ANO oslabují, pozice Pirátů roste. Důvodem může být chronické selhávání ODS i přechod ANO k národnímu konzervativismu. Svou roli ale jistě hrají i kvality Pirátů.

Oh yes, osm usernames are strange: they can also contain any unicode characters, spaces, emojis, and you can change them anytime. I don't know any other site where username requirements are these lax.

There were already minor abuses, a troll registered as the username of a DWG member, but replaced one letter with a homoglyph. E.g. these are different unicode letters: oоο Just copy them to a unicode decoder.

Correct CMOD settings for smarty3, subfolders and their users


Hi there @Friendica Support ,
this question is related to this help request:
frio theme - Service Unavailable
tupambae.org/display/0ac89072-…

I had a look at the smarty CHMOD settings and found the following:

drwxrwxr-x 3 www-data www-data 4096 Nov 8 20:23 smarty3
If I'm not wrong that's CMOD 775 (rwx|rwx|r-x) (?)

In the installation process the commands to create the smarty folders were:
www-data@VPShosting:~/html$ mkdir -p view/smarty3
www-data@VPShosting:~/html$ chmod 775 view/smarty3
see:
squeet.me/display/962c3e10-156…
tupambae.org/display/0ac89072-…
--
I looked into the subfolders and found:

rootname@VPShosting:/var/www/html/view/smarty3# ls -l
drwxr-xr-x 222 www-data www-data 4096 Nov 25 17:20 compiled => CMOD 755 (rwx|r-x|r-x) (?)
--
The folder "compiled" has a long list of sub-folders apparently each having 2 more steps of sub-folders.

rootname@VPShosting:/var/www/html/view/smarty3/compiled# ls -l
total 880

I found two types of folders, some few created on different dates strangely belonging to the user root instead of www-data, here two examples and how those two types of subfolders look like.
I guess the folders owned by root are wrong?

If I understood the recent news articles right, the PlasticARM was of limited success due to low yield. The more recent work of PragmatIC <spectrum.ieee.org/plastic-micr…> seems to fix that by lowering processor complexity -- but in the end, the complexity bound will need to be pushed.

Logging C Functions

justine.lol/ftrace/

The Cosmopolitan Libc _start() function starts by intercepting the --ftrace flag. If it exists, then it opens and sorts of the symbol table from the elf binary. Then it changes the protection of memory so it’s able to iterate over the program’s memory to look for nop instructions it can mutate. Those NOPs were inserted by GCC. It’s easy to self-modify them in memory, since they have the same byte length as the CALL instruction. Think of it like a mini linker. It just relinks the profiling nops. Once they’ve been rewritten, functions will start calling ftrace_hook() which is an assembly function that saves the CPU state to the stack. That means ftrace kind of acts like an operating system kernel. Once the assembly saved the CPU it can call the ftracer() C code that acquires a reentrant mutex and unwinds the RBP backtrace pointer (via __builtin_frame_address(0)) to determine the address of the function that called it. Once it has the address of the function, it passes it along to kprintf() which has a special %t syntax for turning numbers into symbols.

CVE-2022-21449: Psychic Signatures in Java

neilmadden.blog/2022/04/19/psy…

One side of the equation is r and the other side is multiplied by r and a value derived from s. So it would obviously be a really bad thing if r and s were both 0, because then you’d be checking that 0 = 0 ⨉ [a bunch of stuff], which will be true regardless of the value of [a bunch of stuff]! And that bunch of stuff is the important bits like the message and the public key. This is why the very first check in the ECDSA verification algorithm is to ensure that r and s are both >= 1.
Guess which check Java forgot?
