Die Rückkehr der "Transvestiten-Karteien" muss verhindert werden

‚Das Bundesinnenministerium von Alexander Dobrindt (CSU) plant ein Sonderregister für alle Menschen, die das Selbstbestimmungsgesetz in Anspruch genommen haben. Das ist nicht nur geschichtslos, sondern brandgefährlich.‘

Die Rückkehr der "Transvestiten-Karteien" muss verhindert werden

Das Bundesinnenministerium von Alexander Dobrindt (CSU) plant ein Sonderregister für alle Menschen, die das Selbstbestimmungsgesetz in Anspruch genommen haben. Das ist nicht nur geschichtslos, sondern brandgefährlich. (Meinung - Standpunkt)

Bruce Schneier on Ubuntu disabling the spectre mitigations:

I agree with this trade-off. These attacks are hard to get working, and it’s not easy to exfiltrate useful data. There are way easier ways to attack systems.

(source)

Uh yes, lets replace the blast doors at bank vaults with wooden doors because humans working there are an easier attack surface.

Ubuntu Disables Spectre/Meltdown Protections - Schneier on Security

A whole class of speculative execution attacks against CPUs were published in 2018. They seemed pretty catastrophic at the time. But the fixes were as well. Speculative execution was a way to speed up CPUs, and removing those enhancements resulted in significant performance drops. Now, people are rethinking the trade-off. Ubuntu has disabled some protections, resulting in 20% performance boost. After discussion between Intel and Canonical’s security teams, we are in agreement that Spectre no longer needs to be mitigated for the GPU at the Compute Runtime level. At this point, Spectre has been mitigated in the kernel, and a clear warning from the Compute Runtime build serves as a notification for those running modified kernels without those patches. For these reasons, we feel that Spectre mitigations in Compute Runtime no longer offer enough security impact to justify the current performance tradeoff...

To learn more about what your system is doing, take a look at systat(1). For
example, to get various statistics related to virtual memory usage, process
scheduling, device interrupts, system name translation caching, and disk I/O,
enter the following:

systat -vmstat

Other values are icmp, icmp6, ifstat, iostat, ip, ip6, netstat, pigs, sctp,

いやもちろんチームみらいの話なんだけど、どうしてもファーストイシューとしてテクノロジーでの経済成長が掲げられるのって、まず国家は成長を競うものであるというのが大前提になってるよなって。オードリー・タンて実はそういう話ほとんどしてなくない？と思ってしまい。これは私が良く知らないだけかもしれないが

夫婦別姓にしても、通称使用よりも別姓推進の方向でマニフェスト書き換えてくれたこと自体はありがたいのだけど、じゃあ国家がパートナーシップを承認する意味ってそもそも何？みたいな意味の議論がないからどうしても空疎に見えてしまうというか github.com/team-mirai/policy/p

I had never seen this before: a water-spitting fish.

Turns out it's called an Archer Fish, and it was hunting for ants on a tree by spitting water at them to make them fall down from the tree, ready for the fish to snack on. As I was watching, another archer fish actually came by and was repeatedly chased away by the first one. "My tree!" It looked like the needle fish were *also* trying to munch on the fallen ants, hanging around the first archer fish and speeding towards any fallen ants whenever they dared.

It was amazing to watch, but hard to capture in a picture. This was my most successful attempt, but the fish could easily spit water up to a height of 50 cm, probably more!

Close-up of the root of a mangrove tree, rising up from the water. On the left size, a tree-climbing crab is chilling on the root, having a perfect view of the deadline hunt going on below. In the water are six or so needle fish (you can guess their shape), and one archer fish, which has a white belly and a light grey back and four or five black spots on its flank. From the archer fish, you can see a white sprite of water being spit up to the tree root, targeting the little black ants that are crawling on it.Same scene, just a fraction of a moment later, where the sprite of water goes up higher, but is less dense, so only barely visible.

Crocodiles

I also saw this sign for the first time. I had been to the Woodlands before, and people had mentioned that there were crocodiles there, just as I was ankle-deep in the water because it had *rained*, but now I actually saw this sign.

As a Dutchie, I always believe that other cultures are way too "betuttelend" with their warnings for everything, so naturally, I thought "Aw. It's Singapore. How bad can it possibly be!?"

That naiveté only lasted for about 15 minutes, after which I went "yo wtf!?"

Picture of lush forest with a nipah palm in the background and in the foreground a sign that shows a red triangle with a picture of a crocodile in it, and below it the text "Watch out for Crocodiles. Stay clear of the water's edge".Picture of the giant face of a crocodile, chilling at the water surface in a mangrove forest. Its eyes and nostrils are above water, and you can see two massive white teeth just under the water's surface.Massive crocodile swimming right along a board walk in the water in a mangrove forest. Its back and tail are mostly above water, and it is swimming towards another boardwalk.
