  • All these issues are valid and need solving but I’m kind of tired of people implying we shouldn’t do certain work because of efficiency.

    And tech gets all the scrutiny for some reason (it’s transparency?). I can’t recall the last time I’ve seen an article on industrial machine efficiency and how we should just stop producing whatever.

    What we really need to do is find ways to improve efficiency on all work while moving towards carbon neutrality. All work is valid.

    If I want to compute pi for no reason or drive to the Grand Canyon for lunch, I should be able to do so.




  • It’s a privilege escalation.

    The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2024-1086 and carrying a severity rating of 7.8 out of a possible 10, allows people who have already gained a foothold inside an affected system to escalate their system privileges. It’s the result of a use-after-free error, a class of vulnerability that occurs in software written in the C and C++ languages when a process continues to access a memory location after it has been freed or deallocated. Use-after-free vulnerabilities can result in remote code or privilege escalation.
