The GSA should be held accountable for the solarwinds123 fiasco. They have sat on their hands for years spending billions (trillions?) and not really taking their supply chain seriously. Also worthy of mention is the NTIA's Software Transparency initiative:

Exabeam booth was #555

So the adjacent booths may be part of the RSA coronavirus cluster:
Unisys, Thycotic, KnowBe4, Signal Sciences, Siemplify, were all within about 15 to 25 feet of the Exabeam booth.

Knowing whether the infection spread from that both is now just a waiting game.

....find another client.

The real value here is it enables much more granular logging.

I object to this article, however, on grounds that this is not news. It's a press release, and crap like this is why I only visit slashdot every few months any more.

No, NeXTSTEP.

It all runs through an open-source compositor, which can render the video wherever it wants. Wayland even has "frames" built into the protocol; This is in order to avoid tearing, but it would also make it easier to re-encode the video at the correct frame rate.

Remote X11 never really worked properly anyway; It doesn't survive interruptions, and it's basically unusable over high-latency connections (you end up needing to use things like VNC). Network transparency is a nice feature, but X11 embedded it into the wrong layer, and it doesn't really work very well today anyway. Building a VNC server (or maybe something more rich based on streaming video) should be a lot easier under Wayland than it ever was under X11.

Based on playing around with Weston for a weekend, I think it'll get there sooner than you might think. Wayland's developers are familiar with Xorg, so they're not wasting a lot of time with NIH-syndrome rewrites of stuff that works (for instance, Weston uses the same low-level video drivers as Xorg, and xwayland is just a special build of Xorg). The protocol is specifically designed to take "frames" into account (so, no more tearing, ever), so even if it's somewhat slower (which I don't expect), it'll *feel* more responsive.

Flash in Chromium/X11 under xwayland already renders video more smoothly on my machine than it does on native Xorg (well, when rendering doesn't hang or crash xwayland). If you cut out some of the middlemen, I expect it'll only get better.

Being disintegrated makes me very angry.

Very angry indeed.

Wish this had made the real news. We know this sort of thing happens, but airline industries are highly effective at having this never reach public discussion.

So... "fun gimmick, or a serious commentary on an increasingly surveillance based society?"

Really?

How about both. Are having a sense of humor and making a serious comment mutually opposed? Slashdot deserves better.

Not 100% sure this is WebKit-free. On MacOSX there's still a reference to webkit in the UserAgent string as: "AppleWebKit" anyway.

Exactly. People who dismiss Wikipedia because of its inaccuracies often forget about what we usually did *before* Wikipedia existed: We made stuff up based on our intuitions, *maybe* talked about it at a coffee shop with a small number of our friends, and believed it as fact. Sure, if we were doing academic research, we were more rigorous (and that's improved, too, IMHO), but how often did that happen? Now, with portable devices that can access the WWW, our first reponse when we're not sure about something is often to look it up.

I can't emphasize this enough: Instant access to the web is resulting in a culture shift from making stuff up to looking it up, and Wikipedia is the most important place where people go to do that.

So, yes, even though Wikipedia is a repository of groupthink (and the critics are right that we mustn't forget that), it's groupthink that takes into account the views of a much larger number of contributors, and is much more accurate than the groupthink of a small, isolated group of people.

Wild, I never expected these poll results to look like a progress meter.

du -h

Duh.

Anyone can be seriously "offensive" in this business. All it takes is $100 laptop and msf.

Defense? That, my friends, is the multi-tens-of-billions industry we're in.

Cyber Command? Show me your defensive game and stop wasting my tax money.

They just dumped those chemicals very quickly.
