Thats a repo of existing malware. Be careful with it. You can use that to start reverse engineering an existing malware. Use a VM that isnt connected to a network.

If you want to write something, go for it. Often malware is tailored to a single OS (Windows), so cross platform is less of a concern.

The hard part of writing malware is doing it in an undetectable way, which will usually require deeper OS knowledge, which you’ll have to acquire over time. YouTube has some good videos if you hunt around.

That’s for the motherboard replacement, not the bootloader unlock.

They’ve already unlocked and bricked their device, so they need a new motherboard.

I think its better to keep your gateway basic, and run extra services on a separate raspi or similar. Let your router/gateway focus on routing packets.

Openwrt can run Adguard, and as long as your gateway can run docker, you can probably get pihole working.

The only foldable phones I have seen in the wild are new ones, and ruined ones. They all seem to end up horrible creases, or peeling screens, or large black dots from impacts.

Cool conceptually, but the tech is just not there.

Cura used to have a standalone thing that you could use the slice models on the command line, it was used as part of octoprint.

Edit: It was this: https://github.com/Ultimaker/CuraEngine

You may want to investigate using that?

For openwrt+wireguard, see: https://cameroncros.github.io/wifi-condom.html

Looks like tailscale should work in openwrt: https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/vpn/tailscale/start

For the wireguard server, I am using firezone, but they have pivoted to being a tailscale clone, so I am on the legacy version, which is unsupported: https://www.firezone.dev/docs/deploy/docker

Edit: fixed link

You think the shovelware will properly self-declare? If only :)

Yup, AI is conceptually very broad. You could argue pong has an AI, the other paddle acts on its own and makes decisions similarly to a human? Cows in Minecraft? CS bots?

You could also argue that Minecraft world generation isn’t too dissimilar from how image generators work. Both take a set of rules and then use math to generate an output.

I think I can accept generative AI (voice models/artwork) depending on the game. If a 1 person indie dev uses it, because they have no other options, fine. AAA game just trying to save a buck, nah.

They are gonna have to really specifically define what AI is.

Is it a LLM? manually coded agent? Some other machine learning?

I thought that was the case tbh, has it changed?

Edit: is-even depends on is-odd.

Is-even and is-odd on npm.

For a while, openssl was maintained by 1 or 2 people.

That is likely a speed test server within the same data center as your vps, or they have special traffic shaping rules for it.

Try using iperf from your local box to the VPS and see what speeds you get

OSSIM is a pain to install, but does tick all your boxes. But I think its basically abandoned by AT&T to force people on to Alienvault.

It installs to a VM, but has some very weird hard coded quirks, like expecting the network cards to be ethX, and the harddisks to be /dev/sdX. I can’t remember exactly how I got it installed, but I can dig out the libvirt config if it helps.

From a reddit comment, so could be lies:

yes…here’s an excerpt from the story…

“An Electrician ended up with stars in his eyes after being zapped by 14,000 volts during a serious accident at work. The 42 year-old man from California developed the eye disease cataracts after the high voltage current surged through his body. His shoulder touched a live wire and the current passed through his entire body - including the optic nerve, which connects the eye to the brain. The effect was two bizarre star-shaped electrical burns in his eyes, according to The New England Journal of Medicine. Dr Bobby Korn, an associate professor of clinical ophthalmology at the University of California, San Diego, treated the unnamed patient. Dr Korn told NBC News: “The extreme current and voltage that passed through this important natural wire caused damage to the optic nerve itself.” Cataracts is clouding on the lens inside the eye which leads to limited vision and the most common cause of blindness. The electrician’s story was published in the January issue of the journal. The accident happened 10 years ago and the patient still has poor vision in both of his eyes.”

To go through that with only “poor vision”, pretty damn lucky

Toughen up /s

Never heard that term, but its a very obscure concept, so wouldn’t surprise me if it had multiple names. Probably vender specific names?

Seems quite a few people havent heard of it, hence a lot of the split DNS answers :/

I can’t remember exactly what its called, but something like router NAT loopback is what you want. I’ll have a look around. But if you set it right, things should work properly. It might be a router setting.

4 cores is a bit limiting, but definitely depends on the usage. I only have 1 VM on my NUC, everything else is docker.

I thought all the core processors had VT* extensions, I was using virtualization on my first gen i7. They are very old an inefficient now though.

I5 3470 is old, but its not that bad. Lots of people are homelabing on NUCs which are only very slightly faster. Performance per Watt will be terrible though. (I am on an i7-10710u, and I’ve yet to run out of steam so far - https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i7-10710U-vs-Intel-Core-i5-3470/m900004vs2771 )

It has VTx/VTd, so should be okay for proxmox, what makes you think it won’t work well?
