Federal agency warns critical Linux vulnerability being actively exploited
  • The way that rust attempts to prevent this class of error is not by making an implementation of free that is safe to call twice, but by making the compiler refuse to compile programs where free could be called twice on a pointer.

    Anyway, use after free doesn't depend on a double free. It just means that the program frees memory but keeps the pointer (which now points at memory that could contain unrelated data at some future point in time) and if someone trying to exploit the program finds a way to induce the program to read or write to that memory they may be able to access data they are not expected to, or write data to be used by a different part of the program that they shouldn't be able to

  • Viable Alternative for ZSH as the interactive shell?
  • I use fish. I really like that it is already configured to be a comfortable and usable interactive shell out of the box.

    The differences from posix are generally easier to remember on the fish side imo (like if statements) and you generally only encounter them when you write scripts.

    You can also write scripts in bash if you want and there is a nice tool if you need to put environment variables into shell from a bash script (https://github.com/edc/bass)

  • Curiosity of a non-vegan
  • Why do you make the conscious decision to not eat meat/animal products?

    Simply, I don't need them and I don't feel it is right to contribute to climate change/ecosystem destruction/animal cruelty for my own convenience

    Do you have negative feelings towards those who raise their own animals for food, such as those who raise chickens for eggs or cattle for milk, and otherwise treat the animals ethically?

    There are still downsides to small agriculture such as sustainability and food production per resource usage. To directly answer the question, I don't have negative feelings towards anyone based solely on their diet. I have negative feelings towards the animal ag industries which deliberately hide information, lie about reality, and lobby the government to deceive people into not understanding the consequences or reality of their decisions. I also don't think positive change has to be all or nothing. Even just doing Meatless Monday has a positive impact, and making perfect the enemy of good just slows progress.

    When did you choose to switch to a vegan lifestyle, what (if any) was the “catalyst”?

    For a long time I ate vegan at home but would go to restaurants without anything I felt I could ethically eat in order to get along with people. I remember very distinctly the last time I ate meat at a restaurant and thinking "enough is enough"

    What are some challenges that you have dealt with when it comes to this lifestyle?

    I have missed out on social occasions and friends I otherwise would have enjoyed because they thought accommodating me when choosing restaurants was too burdensome.

    Why do you believe there is a continued stigma around veganism in many physical/internet communities?

    It is not only diet. People are jerks to anyone that lives differently than them that they think they can get away with being jerks to. Basically it is acceptable to be jerks to vegans, therefore people are. Someday that will change, probably.

  • Am I the only person that feels that retro games are better?
  • Hollow Knight is pretty different than metroid games and I'm not sure I'd directly compare them. I'm the only person I know that doesn't like Hollow Knight and it seems like the departures it makes from the classic metroidvania formula that put me off it are part of the reason other people like it

  • [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?
    1. This is completely besides the point, but I personally view factory farming as different than what happens in nature.

    2. This is also beside the point, but you are making some wild logical leaps here. The fact that I personally don't want to support factory farming because I think it is cruel in no way means that I think other people "enjoy animal suffering" and assuming that is arbitrarily assigning thoughts I have never had to me.

    3. None of the above is really relevant because I should be allowed to go about my day without justifying my dietary choices just as people that eat meat should.

  • [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?
  • In my experience it's usually more like: Them: here have some of this meat thing Me: No thanks Them: why not it's really good try some Me: i don't eat meat Them: but why? Me: to reduce animal cruelty and environmental harm Them: wow how dare you be so judgy

    I'm not really sure how I'm supposed to not offend this type of person in this situation and frankly I don't think it's my fault or my problem they're offended. My theory is that that agree with my reasons but rather than change or live with the cognitive dissonance they just lash out at anyone that reminds them they could be living more ethically even if they basically MAKE them say it.

    Blaming vegans for that is bullshit, frankly

  • Do bears in the wild seriously subsist only on berries and salmon?
  • That's not how fat works at all. Adipose tissue is formed to store energy (calories) and it does not matter what the source of that energy is. It can be saturated fat, unsaturated fat, various forms of carbs... when eating more calories than used the excess is saved for later in adipose tissue.
