News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

aquatica

I'm feeling the same. I'm 21, basically just started my career.

Nothing felt better than writing code, and feeling proud of what I had built. Now I am being forced at work to use AI/LLMs because "it's faster" and I feel like my whole life, the career I fought for, has been sucked away.

Idk, might switch to driving trains, if they don't automate that too...

It does. Open your train ticket from the app, then the "i" next to "On time"/"+X MIN" text, and it shows the list of all train stops and where the train is. Next to the train stop you find a number which is the platform

I can still see and navigate through everything

Bullies don't care about diplomacy.

If you expect Russia to be willing to find an agreement that does not restrict Ukraine's freedom or take its territories, you are wrong, or such a war would have never begun in the first place.

TIM and WindTre have overridden the block, don't know about the other ISPs.

Your browser shows a TLS warning saying that the certificate doesn't match. If you override it, it brings you to that page.

This is not a DNS block, the IPs are owned by Google, Italian ISPs are forced to forward the traffic of a blocked IP to AGCOM's servers.

If you are connecting from an Italian ISP to https://mil04s43-in-f1.1e100.net you're going to be greeted by a message from AGCOM telling you the website has been used to spread copyrighted content.

This already happened with a Cloudflare CDN before. https://community.cloudflare.com/t/blocking-of-my-website-vi...

Because it didn't. There's videos where people ask and the "robot" replies with "I can't disclose how much AI there is in me"
Re:Let's talk about Frame.work's Customer Experience on Wednesday August 28, 2024 @08:19AM (#41378648)
This is my experience with frame.work's customer support, and how things should be improved.

One of the things I think is dangerous about the current state of their official communications channel (Discord, Reddit, etc) is that the moderators (which are volunteers but still overseen by framework employees) close conversations when people complain (as seen at the bottom of the linked post).

The other, even more dangerous thing, is that they've created and push an attitude of "don't care about the issue even if it's bad, I'll just buy a replacement instead of making a warranty claim" that makes users question their choice to contact Support. An example here: https://imgur.com/OLFJITP or straight up defending some the company's shady behaviour [1]

Goole Translate works good enough for this article, there is also one from "FiloSottile" but I haven't read it and iirc it still references this one, it's called "The most backdoor-looking bug I have ever seen"
Re:Telegram founder Pavel Durov arrested at French airport on Saturday August 24, 2024 @07:31PM (#41342801)
Which is what the author of the article I linked did. The backdoor wasn't hypothetical, Telegram had to patch the protocol.

> "I can easily guess that assholes in secret service would probably like very much to use that to blackmail him to add backdoors to telegram. So sad."

Telegram is a backdoor by design. The server has complete access to all your messages, they can do whatever they want with those.

And they even had a backdoor in E2EE chats, see: https://habr.com/ru/articles/206900/

It's important to say that data cannot be decrypted by the relay
It's not like it would be illegal to distribute the apps outside of the EU, it's that Apple doesn't want to.
> However, the mailbox as a whole is encrypted at rest

The server still receives from other servers and from the client (if the email is not going to a proton account) the plain text, so nothing prevents them from making a copy.

Says the guy who had a backdoor in their super-secure e2e secret chats

Ask HN: Should I Use GrapheneOS?

I'm planning on getting a Pixel 8, and was looking at GrapheneOS which looks great on paper, but I've recently found out that the project lead is going through a hard time mental-health wise due to some drama[1][2].So my questions are: What's the current state of the project? Would you recommend it? Have all these drama issues been resolved?[1]...

What's the point of buying it from fragment (which is basically Telegram's way of using their scam currency) and spend at least €50 when you can just buy one for a few cents on websites such as smspva?

Edit: yes, https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/architecture/blueprints/activity_...

As for the password vault, I suggest you switch to Bitwarden. But for browsers? There isn't really much of a choice, it's either Firefox or Chromium-based.

How so? Don't Telegram Premium and Telegram Ads count as revenue?
