strcpy can cause a buffer overflow

user finds strcpy in #curl code

user files a CRITICAL security report against #curl for using strcpy in source code. Proof? Well he did grep the code and it shows that it does indeed use strcpy...

Never a dull moment.

Let me guess, the overflow can be triggered if the user specifies a ridiculously long option?

@dtomvan I don't think it can be triggered at all. The user also has not bothered to check...

I am not hopeful. I am quite sad.

Elon Musk essentially bought the election when he bought Twitter.

Journalists could have left Twitter, and had it go the way of MySpace. Instead, they continued to legitimize it, thereby giving it life.

For the next four years, decentralized social media will be needed – if only as an alternative to the faux-progressive media that seek to control the public square.

The world is becoming more and more authoritarian, and we need an antidote.

uspol, migration guide

Want to leave the US?
Here's how you can move to germany, even if you have no official credentials (like a university degree) or job that can get you a sponsored visa.
Germany is not perfect. We have our own fascism issues, but we didn't just elect someone who openly paraphrases hitler as supreme leader.

Step 1: Start studying for german B1 language level. Duolingo can get you there, I also heard good things about babbel and other apps.
Step 2: Find an apprenticeship. Apprenticeships in Germany are weird compared to the rest of the world. It's a mostly full time job with a bad wage that is supposed to train you how to do a job. Finding one, if you have B1 language skills, entitles you to a work permit for the duration of it, completing one entitles you to a settlement permit.
I did an apprenticeship in IT, but there's many options. Healthcare is one of the options with the best chances of getting hired and it pays pretty well compared to others. If you don't mind waking up early, bakeries often receive not a single application for their apprenticeship postings.
I would recommend you to not go into the major cities, as their immigration offices are overworked and rent is too high to pay from an apprentice wage.
Step 3: Finish the apprenticeship and apply for a settlement permit
Step 4: Congrats, you can now live in germany as long as you want and work in any industry
Step 5: After 3-5 years (depending on how well you do at work or how good your language skills are) you can apply for citizenship. If you get that, you can live and work in any EU country.

I wish I knew. So many people swayed by made up fears they should be able to see through.

Pennsylvania was called by NBC as well. All I will say is margins this time around were not as tight as in 2020, at least where it mattered. And ultimately while calling a winner now is premature before all votes are counted, it also becomes less possible to do the more these margins in states like Wisconsin end up getting called, too. Sorry America, but we may have just failed ourselves, now time to learn from those failures, we're the "pick yourself up by the bootstraps" type country. #USPol

I'm also not saying miracles don't happen. They can. Presumably there's a chance for this to go to a 269-269 split, depending on Wisconsin, Nevada, and other tighter swing states of what's left, and then the house splits it. I see this as about as slim as looking through the light from above a trapdoor that's 50 feet up, but it's there. I see both sides in this, I get why people are jumping to conclusions but also why there's validity to the path for a victory to be on a brighter history. #USPol

Usa, europa bajona, desahogo

Os leo a algunas a tope con Europa y, bueno, si hablamos como Unión Europea justo ahora más que nunca están con unas políticas migratorias de mierda, por ejemplo. Por no hablar de la vergüenza que han dado con el tema de Israel.

Que sí, que comparado con USA vamos a ser un bastión de lo que sea, pero...

En fin, dejo de desahogarme, perdonad 😒

This last issue is because Android Studio— necessary for Android development— is not a Google product. Rather it's "JetBrains"' IDE for "JetBrain's" version of Oracle's programming language. Injected into this like a kind of parasite are two separate programs that make Android work; one of the two, AGP, is developed by Google, and the other, Gradle, seems to be developed by the community. Gradle and AGP are at eternal war with each other. AGP doesn't know how weird their name sounds to me

the android toolchain is something alright.

I love (/s) constantly having to ask google to fix nondeterministic output produced by their toolchain (or building workarounds in cases that's possible) to make reproducible builds for android work.

half the time it's bugs deep in some compiler code I have no idea how to even find, the other half is me having to explain to them what their own code is doing so they can apply my proposed fix.

I think I really, truly need to figure out where to go from here. I don't feel safe, and I don't know if there's anywhere I would feel safe.

honestly this. I know I probably will never truly understand how you or others are feeling, but I still look at this and I'm a mess myself even though I personally for my own health have not much to worry about yet.

And I know it's not true in the long term, but yeah....

I wished people weren't like this and sadly I have to say "us people", because white folks are constantly messing this up and making it an issue for everybody else.

It will do you no good to pay close attention to the vote count tonight (or tomorrow).

It *will* do a lot of harm to publicly voice despair and expectation of an Orange Shitbag win.

Read a book. Watch a movie. Go to sleep. Read the news 2 days from now. And in the meantime, keep your negativity to yourself.

People have enough to worry about as it is, without being taken on a pointless roller coaster ride of premature election results coverage and ill-informed speculation.

BTW if you are a U.S. voter, and you try to vote today, and you are denied because of problems with your registration, be aware you may cast a provisional ballot. They put it in an envelope and count it later.

- HOW DO I DO THIS?

Ask the poll workers.

- WHAT IF THEY WON'T HELP?
- HOW DO I KNOW IF I'M ELIGIBLE?
- HOW DO I FOLLOW UP AFTERWARD?

I made an effort to research this and the only answer I can find is "call the Democrats". The Democratic Party runs a national hotline at 833-336-8683.

@ke7zum@mastodon.tffppodcast.comWell at least you are willing to admit in public that you love him...

I want you to know that no matter who you choose to vote for, that I still respect your right to naah j/k, fuck you forever if you vote for him. If you did in 2016, maybe you were tricked and could've earn your redemption. In 2020? Highly unlikely. 2024? You should be shunned forever by all.
