If you've a cable modem with a Puma 6/7 chipset, it could possibly be the potential for said jitter. Sadly, I suffer from this issue and it annoys me to no end. Linking an old thread with more details about it. https://hackernews.hn/item?id=15781788


Just wanted to say that in linux you have extended attributes on files, check the man page on chattr. I believe the -i option makes files immutable.

I picked this little trick up watching a red team discuss how they set themselves persistence on the target system by making /etc/shadow immutable this way.. Fun bit is, root can't even remove the file until the flag is removed, and you can't see the immutable flag on the file unless you know what you are looking for via lsattr.


FreeBSD has the concept of a 'security level'. You can increase it at runtime, which disables more functionality, but you can't decrease it without a reboot.

At security level 1, the immutable and append only attributes on files can't be removed, so even chattr -i would be useless.


Linux has SELinux, which is enabled by default in RHEL and derivatives.

You could literally hand out root shell to people, and they wouldn’t be able to make much mess out of it.

There are SELinux policies to prevent disabling selinux too, of course.

You probably wouldn’t even need chattr.


SELinux is way more complex than security levels sounds here.


Securelevels are not just this. FreeBSD has its own SELinux equivalent called Mandatory Access Control:

https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/mac/

It goes far beyond making files immutable. I haven't really done a deep dive to see if it's on par with SELinux but the description in this thread doesn't do it justice.


What I meant is that devising a sane and useful way to make use of security levels seems easier than achieving something 'equivalent' with SELinux. Sophisticated policy systems are nice, but something that kind of bundles sane defaults together and organizes them into ordered layers like security levels sounds great.


As someone who has recently bought into AMD from a long hiatus, I have to say they've come a long way since and I've been personally impressed with what I've experienced so far on the hardware side. That said, the reverse can be equally said on other matters pertaining to their business as well; more specifically their customer support pertaining to RMA's as of late. Mind you, this is all a personal anecdote so take with a grain of sand.


Agreed, in it's heyday (before Intel dominated in PC era), AMD was my go-to for performance processors.


I fondly remember watching this video a few years ago, so thank you for posting it. As a two wheel enthusiast myself who hasn't had a chance to explore much of the world, I've been actually wanting to try and see if I could do something similar myself once things hopefully go back to normal.


TimeSplitters Future Perfect - Cortez, get the time crystals!


I concur with your point, considering we already have methods like hashing to create rather unique signatures, and with frameworks and regulations(laws). I'm going to vaguely quote James Mickens here, but you can basically sue someone if there is an issue. If there is an issue on the block chain? You need to fork it. Oh, and the talk for anyone who's interested considering he conveys a few interesting points I've seen throughout this thread. https://youtu.be/15RTC22Z2xI


Can concur with a personal anecdote. Got lost a few years ago on my motorcycle and was utterly confused when I passed the open gate into the grounds not aware that it was even a military base until I saw all the following signage.


Ah, I have a friend in a downtown condo who uses their 1Gbps service and he hasn't had any issues with them. Sadly I'm in an older town house so my options are Bell or Rogers, neither of which can offer symmetric fiber as the cost to deploy wouldn't be worthwhile their time.(Oddly Bell installed fiber in the older building across the street from me into all the units.) Either way, I ended up going with Teksavvy. No marketing nonsense or calls to up sell anything and I get 300/20 for 62 a month without a contract.


Actually kevlar is already used in motorcycle equipment to assist with abrasion resistance/heat friction in slides. For example I've a button up fleece shirt layered completely with an aramid on the inside. Comfortable, normal looking and most importantly functional.


And kevlar jeans are very common for motorcyclists nowadays (I have a pair and they are pretty comfortable).


So apparently on another page on their site they are using "sudo setfacl -m u:${USER}:rw /dev/kvm" instead. Too confusing. Source: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/firecracker-lightweight-vir...
