Serverless is down because servers are down. What an irony.

Serverless is just someone elses server, or something

Any examples of “something with recent kde”? I have Ubuntu currently, wanted to switch to the Mint, now want to hear more opinions

I'd say any rolling distro. Try Debian testing or unstable if you prefer Debian distros family (choose KDE during installation). Or try Arch.

KDE also started making its own Arch based distro now: https://kde.org/linux/

But it's one of those immutable flavors. I prefer something more flexible.

I use mint's cinnamon UI on Ubuntu. It's by far my favorite desktop, but yeah Mint's main packages are too far out of date usually.

Fedora

How do you deal with the short lifespan until EOL? I've been using Rocky (and CentOS before that) simply to avoid dealing with EOL so often.

Fedora makes major upgrades pretty easy - you can even do it via the GUI Software Center, then reboot.

Personally I'm using Kinoite[1], an "immutable" version of Fedora that has an immutable base image, which makes it nearly impossible to break things during updates (even major upgrades).

May this be exploited?

If you can already subvert the flow of execution enough to jump somewhere you shouldn't be, you probably have better targets elsewhere in the binary than a conditional branch.

Certainly true if you control the entire value; but if you can only flip a bit or two then this does provide a trampoline to increase the exploits range.

Probably more of a "stick it in the toolbox for automatic use" rather than building an exploit around it type of situation however.

A common exploit technique is to use what’s called “Return Oriented Programming” to jump to different locations throughout the file to trigger little “ROP gadget” instruction combos to accomplish what you need to do.

Now run DOOM on it

Axis, Hanwha - not cheap but good and reliable

If Chinese brands don’t scare you: Hikvision is very good allarounder, Milesight, Uniview (UNV), Vivotek - good too

Dahua cheap but still usable

All other - don’t even bother

Not only 5 year old PCs are still actual, but even 10 year old machines are still lot in use. Because there are already enough performance for everyday tasks for majority of tasks - videos, emails, messengers, etc. But this is a problem for Microsoft and computer manufacturers, they are overstocked and have to convince users somehow to upgrade even if there is no reason to do so.

“Days instead of weeks on the mountain foot” - that’s the crucial point. Less time -> less money spent on accommodation, supplies, personnel there. Obviously they don’t want to lose income.

Nah the logic is less time on the mountain > more climbers per climbing season.

They will do this math eventually and then they will require xenon prep.

There is an independent C++ library by Samsung called rlottie: https://github.com/Samsung/rlottie

Telegram uses it for animated stickers, Samsung itself uses it for icons on their smart watches

Do not under any circumstances use rlottie for your application if it consumes untrusted animations. It is not secure software and Samsung does not service security issues.

*I will add though if you absolutely need to, use Telegram's fork. They've at least fixed most of the known issues (with very great commit messages like "fix bug")

There is also the ThorVG project, which has better support for Lottie and is a more robust graphics library and was created by the same people. https://thorvg.github.io/

We are doooooomed!

Looking forward to Universe II Electric Boogaloo

If I give this GameKey card to the friend, will he be able to download and play it? With card inserted, of course. If not - these cards are just glorified activation codes

That's exactly what separates this from activation codes, yes.
