You review the open source code yourself.

I wouldn’t consider them directly comparable since they are both trying to achieve different goals.

Linkwarden is a bookmark manager that allows for single html webpage backups.

Archivebox uses WARC - which produces an offline, fully navigable website

Looks like an air pistol. Shoots pellets and is normally used for pest control.

I see that as a generous interpretation. But to each their own.

I didn’t even mention the dude.

Right, which is why I said so I can block it. Not that it should be outright banned.

I’m just not interested in comics where the only ‘joke’ is slim thick mummy wants to fuck.

The comm needs to implement a gooner tag so I can block these.

Ah I see that now. My private tracker didn’t have it because the occasional hardcoded Russian subs.

I’d rather wait than watch a telesync cam rip.

Mate it’s okay you can’t tell the photo is fake.

You’ve made the same type of assumption I did wise guy. I just happened to use my big monkey brain and click on OP’s profile - where they posted this same image in another community.

He didn’t say the whole mission was fake. He said this picture is fake… which it is. The Artemis suits don’t have front zippers and the capsule is significantly larger than what is represented here.

But don’t take my word for it; look at the real pictures here: https://www.nasa.gov/gallery/artemis-ii-splashdown-and-return/

Yeah, kinda. GamersNexus is popular for their no-bullshit PC benchmarking and their “indie” documentaries on anti-consumer behaviors tangentially related to gaming hardware.

The tldr is pretty much the title - the context is the video if you’re interested. The video may be long format but I don’t agree with what the other dude said about this being better served as an article. Steve (long hair dude) is pretty respectful of his consumer’s time. I think they post most of their videos as articles on their website too - ad free.

Probably not. The dude gained 14 positions.

Thanks for opening that, I really appreciate the help.

Thanks for the response!

I can confirm the blocked users are present in my piefed settings.

For testing, I blocked a user on Voyager - and verified that user appeared in Voyager's block list. Then I verified they appeared in Piefed block list - they did. I restarted the Voyager app, forced a reload, then opened the post I blocked this test user from and I can still see their comment.

When I open this post on Piefed directly, I cannot see their comment as expected.

Not completely accurate. Most modern systems support asynchronous dual channel. Providing dual channel operation up to the smaller RAM capacity with the remaining RAM running in single-channel. Also “computers aren’t designed or meant to be operated that way” is a fabrication - they operate just fine, just with reduced performance. In RAM starved situations it’s still better to have single-channel than nothing at all.

Edit: poor dude downvoted me for correcting him. What a sad existence.

Low severity. Good that it got attention but this requires attackers to already have access to the HV - meaning you’re already screwed.

Mate you’re the only one whining. I got around the cookie banner just fine, and reposted here for others.

we share data with our 188 partners

That’s a no from me dawg

The updater integrated into Notepad++ has allowed itself to be infiltrated by malware, which has been installed on some PCs. The developer of the powerful open-source text editor is responding with an update to Notepad++ v8.8.9. Users currently have to perform the update manually.

In a news post on the Notepad++ website, developer Don Ho explains that "some security experts have reported incidents where internet traffic affecting Notepad++ was intercepted." According to the post, investigations have revealed that traffic from the Notepad++ updater WinGUp "was occasionally redirected to malicious servers, leading to the download of compromised executable files." IT security researcher Kevin Beaumont reports that at least three organizations "with interests in South Asia" have been targeted in this way.

As Beaumont explains, the updater uses a version check that queries the URL "https://notepad-plus-plus.org/update/getDownloadUrl.php" and evaluates an XML file delivered through it. The updater uses the download URL listed in the XML file, saves the file in the %TEMP% folder, and executes it. Anyone who can intercept and manipulate this traffic can therefore change the download URL. Until version 8.8.7 of Notepad++, the developer used a self-signed certificate, which is available in the Github source code. This made it possible to create manipulated updates and push them onto victims. Since v8.8.7, however, Notepad++ relies on a legitimate GlobalSign certificate, and installing its own Notepad++ root certificate is no longer necessary.

Remedy through updates

With Notepad++ v8.8.8, the WinGUp updater now forces github.com as the download source. Version 8.8.9, released overnight on Wednesday, further hardens Notepad++ and WinGUp so that they correctly check the signature and certificates of downloaded installers during the update process. If the check fails, the update process is aborted. Don Ho notes that investigations are ongoing to determine how the traffic hijacking occurred in the observed cases.

Kevin Beaumont also lists some indicators of compromise (IOCs). For example, connections from "gup.exe" to URLs other than "notepad-plus-plus.org", "github.com", and "release-assets.githubusercontent.com" are suspicious. Likewise, attention should be paid if "gup.exe" starts unusual processes – only "explorer.exe" and "npp*" related Notepad++ installers should run under it, which since versions 8.8.8 are also signed with a GlobalSign certificate. After the observed attacks, files named "update.exe" or "AutoUpdater.exe" (Notepad++ itself does not use these names at all) were apparently also found in the user's TEMP directory, from which "gup.exe" downloaded and executed the updaters.

Notepad++ v8.8.8 currently does not find the update.

Beaumont recommends updating to at least Notepad++ v8.8.8. However, version 8.8.9 is even further hardened. The integrated updater from Notepad++ v8.8.8 does not yet find the update, and "winget" also does not currently find a newer software version. However, the latest version is available as a manual download on the Notepad++ website.

Notepad++ is frequently targeted by malicious actors because the software is popular and widely used. Last year, for example, Don Ho asked for help to get rid of a "parasitic website" that was creeping into the original Notepad++ site in Google search results. It had unscrupulous intentions. In general, fake sites often appear in search results offering virus-infected files.
