To compromise a device on a vlan it had to get through the firewall. If your firewall couldn’t stop it then it can attack any other device by going through the firewall because again the firewall didn’t stop the device from being compromised in the first place.

You can do that at the router. You don’t need vlans to block Mac addresses.
haven’t really found any personal need for VLAN segregation
I feel like many setup vlans “because it exists”, not for actual need. The security reason generally doesn’t exist for home labs because most need to setup bridging or you can’t access the devices on the secure vlan at all.

Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft wants Edge to automatically open by default every time you turn on your Windows 11 PCEnglish
1·9 days agoWhy does the browser need to open?
Serious answer:
I believe many office environments have customer service reps using only web apps. They don’t run an .exe, they go to a webpage that has the corporate web apps.
Personally I had to spend a lot time getting my raspberry PI to autoload Firefox at boot because I have a custom html home automation panel. A distro that had the option of “boot to web page” at start up would have saved me an hour of googling.

1·23 days agoThe security is monitoring your public records. Could you link to any of their services that aren’t about public records like titles, credit cards, credit ratings? Because that’s all I saw on their website.
There’s another company named aura that appears to be completely unrelated that provides security services in Malaysia- like physical guards for your business.
I get the idea of mocking security companies that get hacked. But this is a bad example. All their data was already public.
It would be like being mad at Lemmy because your username jjlinux and all your posts got “hacked” and posted to the Internet.

I didn’t know what Aura was until writing this. They are a company that notifies you if credit card was stolen or other identity theft has happened. That’s already public. Your email is already public.
I have no idea what the admins are doing with lemmy.world but every day the ai_reddit community posts are near the top despite only 1 upvote on posts and I’m not subscribed to that community.

621·1 month agoSorta bullshit from the same lab that hyped their night time solar that works but is thermodynamically impossible to be practical.
Flash an ir diode with encrypted data and because encrypted data looks like noise, you can’t tell that the data isn’t just heat noise.
That’s it.
They invented a bunch of hype words to get press because unfortunately that’s how labs get money these days.

663·1 month agoSEO is one reason that’s less common.
No it isn’t. SEO is about gaming the search engines to place their data ahead of everything whether relevant or not.
Yahoo was fantastic in it’s time because it was human curated. No SEO could bullshit a person reading the page and categorizing it.
Google was fantastic at the start because SEO couldn’t game the system. Google was famous in the early days for maintaining quality by keeping their algorithms secret and constantly changing so that SEO couldn’t break their search.
I’m speaking as someone who was first on the Internet in the 80’s.

He did say so. 8GB unified when a Linux laptop has 8GB of ram and an Nvidia 5050 with 8 GB of VRAM is 16GB of Ram despite not being marketed as a 16 GB laptop.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Which war do you think this one will be compared to? (This is an excuse to name your favorite war, historical analogies are not expected to be analytical so just wing it.)
8·1 month agoYour comment was interesting but a complete non sequitur to start with the claim “I disagree”.
Nothing you wrote refuted the claim that the current “war on Iran” is more of a terrorist operation. Ukraine has boots on the ground so it’s not really comparable to Ukraine.

It means turning with suddenness.

The title of the article is extraordinary wrong that makes it click bait.
There is no “yes to copilot”
It is only a formalization of what Linux said before: All AI is fine but a human is ultimately responsible.
" AI agents cannot use the legally binding “Signed-off-by” tag, requiring instead a new “Assisted-by” tag for transparency"
The only mention of copilot was this:
“developers using Copilot or ChatGPT can’t genuinely guarantee the provenance of what they are submitting”
This remains a problem that the new guidelines don’t resolve. Because even using AI as a tool and having a human review it still means the code the LLM output could have come from non GPL sources.
