Unsure if I have autism, cptsd, or both in c/autism@lemmy.world

One could also argue that a lot of autistic traits are actually result of trauma from being autistic.

Years ago they would already ask for social media accounts and email address on US visa forms, it was creepy back them , scary now.

Receipt checkers trigger me in c/mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world

I read that as recipe checker and got more and more confused reading that. Are they now having people checking your recipes in the shop to make sure you got all the ingredients?

It is usefull but the trouble is that they should be much and much more certain about their designs. Let's say they want 99.99% reliability for real payload then they should by now be at 99.9% . If they want to do it by trail and error they would need to do a lot trials to show that they actually achieved that reliability. Otherwise the next one is still just as likely to explode. I guess what I'm trying to say is that you can't get there by trial and error.

If society goes completely cashless, bank robberies would no longer be a thing, which means there would no longer be "bank robbery" plots in future Movies/TV shows. in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

Yeah but bank robberies are pretty much a thi ng of the past since most people are cashless

This has already happened in Denmark, coins are only used for shopping carts

What are some of the things someone permanently relocating away from the US should be aware of? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] leds@feddit.dk 20 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Opening bank accounts can be difficult due to the reporting/spying requirements banks have on US citizens. Actually not just citizens , I think it is called US persons of interest or something like that. Anyway not all banks want to deal with that and will not allow you to open an account.

Those big mechanical relays will wear out , test them to see if they still click when applying the low voltage.

Musk would have his world dominance with starlink. Wait.. Does this mean Musk is behind all these cable sabotages and not Putin ?

Sorry to hear that, they will undouptly run this trough an AI to decide. So game it the old fashioned way with all the buzzwords (and definitely none of the black list words) or modern prompt injection

RCE Vulnerability in QBittorrent – Sharp Security (sharpsec.run)
 

I dont know who needs to hear this bit qBittorrent has a nasty vulnerability ( and there are some older ones too)

qBittorrent, on all platforms, did not verify any SSL certificates in its DownloadManager class from 2010 until October 2024. If it failed to verify a cert, it simply logged an error and proceeded.

To be exploitable, this bug requires either MITM access or DNS spoofing attacks, but under those conditions (seen regularly in some countries), impacts are severe.

The primary impact is single-click RCE for Windows builds from 2015 onward, when prompted to update python the exe is downloaded from a hardcoded URL, executed, and then deleted afterwards.

The secondary impact for all platforms is the update RSS feed can be poisoned with malicious update URLs which the user will open in their browser if they accept the prompt to update. This is browser hijacking and arbitrary exe delivery to a user who would likely trust whatever URL this software sent them to.

The tertiary impact is this means that an older CVE (CVE-2019-13640 https://www.cvedetails.com/cve/CVE-2019-13640/) which allowed remote command execution via shell metacharacters could have been exploited by (government) attackers conducting either MITM or DNS spoofing attacks at the time, instead of only by the author of the feed.

My experience with LineageOS tonight (feddit.dk)
 

so.. i'm running lineageOS on my phone (a Oneplus 6T) , have been for a very long time. Usually i'm really happy with this but not tonight:

  • Phone suggest a update of OS , just a weekly build. Sure why not, so it does it thing and i reboot, all good.
  • Open a app to listen to some podcast: screen goes black flickers a couple of times showing empty launcher. thankfully power button long press shows shutdown menu (but looks different from normal?) and lets me restart
  • do same thing again , ok looks like latest update broke something
  • update app, same
  • go to settings , updates to try to revert to previous version: no option to install older version , only option is export. weird ok lets try to export old version . Now it lets me install that
  • installation loops , seems it failed
  • try app again, same black screen , hold power button to get boot menu again : now phone says ERASING .. wait what stop no .. (does lineage have a panic wipe my phone key combo i didn't know about?)
  • rebooting , rebooting again
  • welcome setup your phone screen :(
  • remember that my cloud server disk burned last week , no way to restore backups :( :(

favas eating ants? (feddit.dk)
 

Hi All, my fava beans are being eaten by black ants , no aphids. the ants themselves seem to be sucking the juice out of the leaves, leaving black spots where they have been nibling.

I thought they normally employed aphids to do the hard work for them but maybe they are skipping the middle man. Anyone seen this before?

Other leaves are full of holes but that looks more like snails , dont think the ants are capable of that.

Any good tips for encouraging the ants to move elsewhere ?

Snowden Ten Years Later - Schneier on Security (www.schneier.com)
 

Last paragraph makes a good point

But now it’s been a decade. Everything he knows is old and out of date. Everything we know is old and out of date. The NSA suffered an even worse leak of its secrets by the Russians, under the guise of the Shadow Brokers, in 2016 and 2017. The NSA has rebuilt. It again has capabilities we can only surmise.
