• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SteamOS finally released by Valve⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They say thatvany AMD powered handheld should work. This is not a contradiction to your post:

  Currently, expanded support includes devices with AMD hardware and an NVME drive, targeted toward handheld devices. Please note, support for all devices that is not officially ‘Powered by SteamOS’ is not final (currently anything that is not a Steam Deck or Legion Go S)

  All of you who are interested in cyber security: What are you currently learning? Do you take any courses or study for some certifications?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨89 million Steam account details just got leaked, so now's a good time to change your password⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Things are not really clear right now:

  As such, we’re in a strange limbo, and we’re not totally sure where this leak came from. Until the dust clears, it’s a good idea to change your Steam password if you don’t have any additional security.

  Thank you. It appears that even the USB-2.0 models support video output.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple's USB-C transition is a confusing mess (and that might be on purpose)⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wired screen mirroring would be a nice use case. E.g. just plug the iphone in a USB dock and watch a movie or join a meeting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are You Working on Wednesday⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This week, I’ve been trying out caddy + coraza web app firewall. I got it to work, I’m planning to use it for my homeserver.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google researchers uncover critical security flaw in all AMD Zen processors⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The researchers discovered that AMD had been using a publicly available example key from NIST documentation since Zen 1, which allowed them to forge signatures and deploy arbitrary microcode modifications.

  I wish these sorts of errors were not that common.

  Didn’t notice, i just entered the first digits of π

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We've increased our subscription from $9.99 to $29.99 a month⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Under rare circumstances, the update from last night could lead to death. Luckily, it only affected 3.14% of our users, causing only a minor dent in our revenues.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨38C3 - We've not been trained for this: life after the Newag DRM disclosure [Stream archive; Youtube]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The amount of legal trouble they face makes me sad.

  Imagine being smart enough to reverse engineer a whole train, and then having to deal with lawyers, politics and corruption.

  You don’t really trust this leftist liberal biased wikipedia, do you?

  (/s to be sure)

  I will do it tomorrow, no need to be stressed about this task today.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Half-Life 2 peaks at 52,000 concurrent players, 20 years after its release⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think these two games can be reasonably compared. HL2 is currently free, while concord was a paid game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Am I the only one who does this?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If it’s a civil and interesting discussin, why not?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨5 days with new phone number - 84 spam calls⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This kind of spam is luckily pretty rare in europe, I get maybe one or two spam calls a year.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are laptop adapters so much larger than phone adapters of same power rating?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No USB power plug operates at 5 V when providing 65 Watts. That would be 13 Amps. Both power plugs most likey use 15 or 20 volts internally. 19 volts is not allowed over USB.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨See the next steam sales in your calendar!⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As for me, I just visit this site to see the next sales. But it’s a neat idea

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Phew⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They should have split it so both of them can enjoy at least 50% of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Off-Topic Friday⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re right, these are definitely some advanced topics. But no need to know everything yourself, if you stumble upon one of these topics during your research, you might want to post them here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Off-Topic Friday⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I believe there are several Linux-related topics that could be valuable for this cybersecurity community. While I’m not a Linux expert, here are a few suggestions:

  • Security features in the Linux kernel: An overview of features like ASLR and cgroups, including their strengths and limitations.
  • Securing Linux servers: Practical guides, how-tos, and tools (e.g., Auditd, Sysdig) for hardening Linux systems.
  • Vulnerabilities and detailed writeups: Sharing in-depth analyses to learn from real-world mistakes. (But please, let’s avoid posting every CVE. 😉)

  Anyone here using generative AI in your job? From creating phishing mails for training purposes to images for presentations.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why CSV is still king⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re absolutely right. I only learned recently that there are different import options for CSV, and just opening the file doesn’t give all the options. You have to go to data -> import to have all the extra options, like setting all the desired data types.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why CSV is still king⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  While CSV and Excel can be enough for many kinds of data-handling, it is also very error-prone. Handling of commas and quotes is tricky, and excel adds another layer of complexity by randomly interpreting data as dates or currency or whatever.
