Regalo lucidatrice marca hoover

Non ho molti dettagli, il cavo elettrico sembra risalire se non a questo secolo almeno alla fine del secolo scorso, quindi credo abbia discrete probabilità di funzionare ancora (e non prendere fuoco appena la si attacca alla corrente :) ).

Ci sono anche un po' di spazzole.

Le mie ambizioni piccoloborghesi non sono al livello da voler lucidare regolarmente i pavimenti :D

Se nessuno esprime interesse, al prossimo giro finisce in discarica.

musl libc 2 anni fa • mastodon

OpenSSH sshd on musl-based systems is not vulnerable to RCE via CVE-2024-6387 (regreSSHion).

This is because we do not use localtime in log timestamps and do not use dynamic allocation (because it could fail under memory pressure) for printf formatting.

While the sshd bug is UB (AS-unsafe syslog call from signal context), very deliberate decisions we made for other good reasons reduced the potential impact to deadlock taking a lock.

thanks for making this appear in my feed 👍 nice to see someone else ranting about the same things I rant about internally 😂 I did my undergrad thesis on using machine learning techniques in human activity recognition (over a decade ago). We had some clever things going on then, and put hard graft in, but none of it was truly ready for the masses and ML still isn't, but the genie is out of the bottle and some people are determined to make it work, like crypto currencies all over...
