Gemini was kind of entertaining, but I would go as far as calling it “good”.

Ah yes, great book. The film is fun but completely fails to adapt the point of the book.

No, it is different, as it adds an entire layer of indirection and unknown to the mix, increasing the risk in the process.
- Comment on A sneaky demonstration of the dangers of curl bash 4 days ago:
Yes, this is the correct approach from a security perspective.

Please tell me you are not seriously equating a highly sophisticated attack line the Solarwind compromise with piping curl to bash?
- Comment on A sneaky demonstration of the dangers of curl bash 4 days ago:
This is a bit like saying crossing the street blindfolded while juggling chainsaws and crossing the street on a pedestrian crossing while the light is red for cars both carry risk. Sure. One’s a terrible idea though.
- Comment on A sneaky demonstration of the dangers of curl bash 4 days ago:
Oh the example in the article is the nice version if this attack.
Checking the script as downloaded by wget or curl and the piping curl to bash is still a terrible idea, as you have no guarantee you’ll get the same script in both cases:

What’s not to love about cow secretions mixed with boiled down (and filtered, don’t worry!), tendons, hooves and eyelashes?

Most people don’t know how to use ftp anymore. It’s a pretty limited protocol (and requires 2 open ports to function). It’s hard to integrate with good modern auth solutions. Probably more, that’s off the top of my head.

Theoretically, you can check the code actually running on the Signal servers is the code they publish under a free and open source licence, using the hardware-based TEE attestations the servers will return
Someone more knowledgeable than me may have managed to do so, I haven’t.

- Comment on Bomberman has a lore? 5 weeks ago:
The Saturn version has a whole short film that serves as intro to the game too, with similar themes.
- Comment on Bomberman has a lore? 5 weeks ago:
Possibly even more disturbing than the infamous Xbox 360 version.
- Comment on Bomberman has a lore? 5 weeks ago:
Saturn Bomberman has a fun campaign you can play with a friend too.
- Comment on Ska ftw 1 month ago:
AAA and Link80 are very much not “the most ska”, they are very hardcore leanleaning ska, which is really a few steps too farfar from The Specials or Toots and the Maytals to be a good introduction to ska.

- Comment on Bread mold 2 months ago:
I think one theory is that it was central Asian horse-riding societies who started carrying milk on horseback, in saddlebags made out of animal bladders. The motion of the riding and the rennet left in the bladders churned the milk and turned it into cheese.
I remember also reading on a science magazine’s site this possibility that the first cheese made by humans was more of yeast-based preparation, without animal milk, but i can’t find the article mentioning that anymore.

Wtf, no, if you distribute you get the same result:
2 + 5(8 - 5) =
2 + (5 × 8) + (5 × -5) =
2 + (40) + (-25) =
2 + 40 - 25 = 2 + 15 = 17
