Is it just me that feels dirty learning about the linux kernel from an Oracle page?


For what it's worth, Oracle is one of the largest contributors to the kernel, especially if you filter out the drivers subtree, which tends to skew the metrics for various reasons (lots of large generated code, almost identical arm SoC variants etc)

It would be really odd if they couldn't teach you about the kernel.


As a counter-example, Zstd is created and primarily developed by a Meta employee.

I also felt the same way upon opening the article, but companies are made of individuals, and often individuals do valuable and insightful work, even inside of bureaucratic and Kafkaesque organizations like Oracle.


It's just you.


No. It's not. I'm glad someone shared this feeling because I had it too.


I'm really surprised this is not behind some $400/seat/month subscription paywall too...


It is, now Oracle lawyers will sent a letter with a settlement proposition for only 800k$ to your company for accessing the web page /s


I don't have 800k. Will a kidney and my first born do?


Feels wrong, but the information density and presentation are pretty good for this. Easy to understand I think.


A bit, but there's plenty of very smart people there, and this particular page seems controlled by the engineers and not the leadership.


Was the self hosted environment running a AV like the Crowdstrike agent? Or was it running different AV and that's why you chose to use Crowdstrike as someone different?

I guess no need to specific names. I'm just using that as examples.


What's an AV going to do about the fact that Okta got popped?


Perhaps the parent commenter was referring to the section in the report which stating the IOCs indicated that the attackers used the known third-party command and control system named Sliver. There are multiple public yara signatures for Sliver.


Ahh, that makes sense. Thanks!


"I had set my unit up to disable the LCD" - how did you do this?


There's an option in the Xiaomi Home app. Three dot menu -> Screen brightness.


That's what I thought it might have been. Tried there and through Home Assistant. Neither worked. It's weird that the bottom "buttons" on the unit itself work and light up and the colour indicator works but not the "top" panel (still in the round circle). Was wondering if I or someone else has hit the wrong button at one point but I think it might just have broken. Not a massive deal can still monitor in app and HA.


4. Touchscreens - I'd say these are useful for running android auto or apple car play? - But this would fall into your tracking/internet criteria for Google at least.


All I need is Bluetooth and/or AUX. Head units get crufty and are hard or impossible to upgrade, unlike my phone on a magnetic mount.


I'm curious your objection to a touchscreen when it sounds like you are just using a phone with bluetooth? Wouldn't a phone with a touchscreen represent the same tracking + safety hazard?

I used to have a 15 Rav4. There was a shitty touchscreen but if you were just trying to interact with it minimally and just wanted to be able to pause music or skip a song, there was physical buttons on the steering wheel so you'd never have to touch/look at a screen. It fits all your other criteria too, except the mpg.


There are important differences between these two touchscreens, though. One being that I use one of those windshield suction mounts so that it's in the line of view of the road much more so then below the center console. The other being that my fingers can tactilely guide themselves using the edges of the case with very little concentration on my part due to my much more frequent usage of the phone than to the head unit.


And CarPlay won't even necessarily work as a reliable aux. I've been in plenty of rental cars where somehow my music lags or stutters over it. It's trash.


Remember that was the old gov. (Libs) though


I don’t see any Labour MPs planning to repeal those acts; nor did they vote against the bills.


Supported by 100% of Labor. Who promised to review it and potentially repeal it when they next attained office. Which they have not done.

>The draft was open to public comment and 343 submissions were made.

>Of these, only one was in favor of the regulations. The rest either demanded revisions, or were completely against the bill. Despite the cascade of disapproval, the final draft of the law was barely subject to any scrutiny.

>On the last day of sitting before the Christmas period, a revised version of the bill was presented to the Parliament. It featured 173 amendments, but members were barely given any time to review them.

>The official reason was that the laws needed to be rushed through to prevent potential terrorist attacks from happening over the holidays. This was an especially dubious claim, since Australia already has a host of anti-terrorism laws.

>If the authorities required the new capabilities to force companies into building backdoors, then this also should be viewed with skepticism. Since the laws were passed on December 6, it is unlikely that any company would have been able to provide the necessary tools ahead of Christmas.

>On top of this, ASIO, the Australian spy agency, acknowledged there was no specific threat over the period, and it did not raise its warning level.

Absolute bullshit and our spineless "representatives" should be ashamed.

What kind of society are they supposedly defending?


Labor passed those bills with the LNP government thoguh.


And you've got to give all your info to some consultancy! " the information that Dun & Bradstreet has about your business is up to date before creating a developer account"


Dun Dun Dun! Playtality!

Can you build windows containers?


Not currently - Depot runs BuildKit (https://github.com/moby/buildkit) on our builders, and it does not support Windows containers to my knowledge.


USA only?
