        Professional software and special editing station hardware manufacturer for color correction and non-destructive video editing with an extensive powerful tool range Blackmagic Design offers a freemium tool known as DaVinci Resolve. The company’s solutions have been used in many film and television productions such as Solo Star Wars, Jurassic World, The Walking Dead…

        Although the offerings of Blackmagic design are paid, a few years ago, they started offering the basic version of the software for free. With each version number, the number of features increased, and mainly the editing functions, but also e.g. the audio and effect editing, grew in scope.

        The free edition is available for Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux. Even if the origin of the program lies in color correction, many use it mainly as a non-destructive video editing program. This means that you can use it to cut and edit videos without changing the source material.

    • Linux distro for Apple silicon Macs is already up and running on the brand-new M2
      Unlike Intel Macs, Apple silicon Macs were designed to run only Apple's software. But the developers on the Asahi Linux team have been working to change that, painstakingly reverse-engineering support for Apple's processors and other Mac hardware and releasing it as a work-in-progress distro that can actually boot up and run on bare metal, no virtualization required.

      The Asahi Linux team put out a new release today with plenty of additions and improvements. Most notably, the distro now supports the M1 Ultra and the Mac Studio and has added preliminary support for the M2 MacBook Pro (which has been tested firsthand by the team) and the M2 MacBook Air (which hasn't been tested but ought to work).

    • LiliputingAsahi Linux adds support for Macs with M2 chips

       Apple began shipping Macs with Apple Silicon processors in late 2020 and while those laptop and desktop computer ship with macOS, it didn’t take longer for developers to begin porting Linux to work with Apple’s new hardware. Earlier this year the Asahi Linux project released the first public beta of a GNU/Linux distribution designed for Macs with M1 series chips.

      But M1 was just the beginning. The first Macs with M2 chips began shipping this summer, and the folks at the Asahi project have already managed to port their Linux-based operating system to work on computers powered by Apple’s new processor.

    • The Register UKDisentangling the Debian derivatives: Which should you use?

      There are probably more variants of Debian than any other Linux distro, which can make it confusing. To provide some clarity,The Reg has lined up the main suspects.

      Toy Story, the movie that saved Pixar (and Steve Jobs' fortune), was released in 1995. Although Debian 0.01 appeared in 1993, you can date Debian from Toy Story, because all of its stable releases are codenamed after characters from that film.

      The first named release, "Buzz", came out in 1996. Debian 2.1, "Slink", appeared in March 1999, and delivered the Advanced Package Tool (APT), which brought automatic dependency resolution to Linux software management. (Arguably, FreeBSD's ports system had something comparable earlier.)

         Libre Computer’s latest Ubuntu 22.04 desktop and server images for ROC-RK3328-CC board are based on Linux mainline, namely Linux 5.18.2, and other boards from the company, based on Allwinner H2+/H5 processor or Amlogic S905X, have gotten the same treatment.

        Some companies will churn out boards regularly but provide limited software support. Libre Computer seems to have taken a different approach, as they released most of their board in 2017 and 2018, starting with AML-S905X-CC “Le Potato” board based on the Amlogic S905X processor, followed by ALL-H3-CC “Tritium” SBC with Allwinner H2+, H3, or H5 processor, and finally ROC-RK3328-CC “Renegade” board, but still release updated OS images in 2022.

        Have you ever read sci-fi books that envisioned the world becoming a digital utopia around this decade? The reality isn’t quite as glamourized – however, we are getting there as machine learning and AI technology is advancing like no other. In retrospect, learning to program is the trend now, and there are tons of free coding games that make it a fun experience.

        Let’s be honest – programming as a beginner can be daunting. While it’s thrilling to see your first program run successfully, many people struggle to apply programming concepts to real problems. That said, there’s an abundance of resources to learn programming on your own from scratch and challenge yourself in several ways to grow skills.

      • The Next PlatformKAIST Shows Off DirectCXL Disaggregated Memory Prototype

        The hyperscalers and cloud builders are not the only ones having fun with the CXL protocol and its ability to create tiered, disaggregated, and composable main memory for systems. HPC centers are getting in on the action, too, and in this case, we are specifically talking about the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology.

        Researchers at KAIST’s CAMELab have joined the ranks of Meta Platforms (Facebook), with its Transparent Page Placement protocol and Chameleon memory tracking, and Microsoft with its zNUMA memory project, is creating actual hardware and software to do memory disaggregation and composition using the CXL 2.0 protocol atop the PCI-Express bus and a PCI-Express switching complex in what amounts to a memory server that it calls DirectCXL. The DirectCXL proof of concept was talked about it in a paper that was presented at the USENIX Annual Technical Conference last week, in a brochure that you can browse through here, and in a short video you can watch here. (This sure looks like startup potential to us.)

      • LinuxSecurityHacker's Corner: Complete Guide to Anti-Debugging in Linux - Part 3

        A breakpoint is intentional "pause" in normal execution of a program, generally used to inspect the internals of said process in more detail. This is the *most* used feature of any debugger.

        On x86 CPUs, there are two types of breakpoints: hardware breakpoints and software breakpoints. While they overlap to a certain degree they are not exactly the same.

        In most of debugging cases, you will be using software breakpoints, which do not need any special hardware support. These are implemented using same interrupt mechanism which is used by pretty much everything else. On x86, 3rd interrupt is used to implement a breakpoint. When you set a breakpoint, your debugger overwrites target address (where you want to put the breakpoint) with INT 3 (0xCC in hex). When this instruction gets executed, debugger gets the control back from target process, and can inspect its state (registers, memory etc). To resume the execution, debugger will silently remove breakpoint, execute the instruction, and set the breakpoint again before letting the process resume (until it terminates, or breaks). Features like step over, step out are also implemented using "transparent" software breakpoints, which are set and removed automatically by debugger. Generally, you can set any number of software breakpoints; however these cannot be set on non-code address (i.e. these can break the program only when target address content is executed; but not if the address is read from or write to).

        Hardware breakpoints, on the other hand, are much more powerful and flexible than software breakpoints. These can be set to break not only on execution, but also on memory access (read and write both), I/O port access etc. These debuggers are set by writing into special "debug registers" which are largely platform specific (and not all platforms will have support for hardware breakpoints). On x86, registers DR0-3 and DR6-7 are used to set these breakpoints (DR4-5 are reserved as of now). If you have ever used "watchpoints" which let you break when certain memory address is accessed, you have used hardware breakpoints.

      • Implementing Zero-Trust on Kubernetes - Container Journal

        As a cornerstone of the cloud-native community, Kubernetes empowers enterprises to deploy and manage containers in production environments more efficiently. Although Kubernetes was initially designed with basic security capabilities, broad and rapid adoption and an increasingly sophisticated threat landscape have made Kubernetes more vulnerable to attacks. Developers and security experts are now tasked with extending Kubernetes’ built-in security to effectively protect against cyberattacks that are more complex, volatile and frequent.

        The previous “trust but verify” approach has proven ineffective for the complex distributed nature of cloud computing, so Kubernetes must move to the “never trust, always verify” ideology of the zero-trust model to provide greater protection to businesses.

      • HaaretzIsraeli Pegasus Spyware Was Used Against Thai Pro-democracy Activists, Report Says

        After years of concerns that Thailand was purchasing Israeli-made cyberoffense surveillance technologies, rights groups have found the first forensic evidence linking the NSO Group’s infamous Pegasus spyware to the Southeast Asian kingdom.

        A new report by Citizen Lab, published Monday together with two Thai civil society groups, says digital forensic evidence indicates that at least 30 cellphones belonging to activists in Thailand were targeted with Pegasus.

        “We can now officially add Thailand to the growing list of countries where people peacefully calling for change, expressing an opinion or discussing government policies may trigger invasive surveillance with a profound toll on an individual’s freedom of expression, privacy and sense of security,” said Etienne Maynier, a technologist at Amnesty International, who peer reviewed the report and its methodologies.

    • Internet Policy/Net Neutrality

      • Public KnowledgePublic Knowledge Urges Congress To Swiftly Move New Net Neutrality Bill Forward - Public Knowledge

        Today, reports indicate that Senators Ed Markey (D-MA) and Ron Wyden (D-OR), along with Rep. Matsui (D-CA) and other co-sponsors, will soon introduce a bill to reinstate net neutrality and the Federal Communications Commission’s authority over broadband service. The “Net Neutrality and Broadband Justice Act” would codify the FCC’s authority to classify broadband as a “Title II” communications service and regulate it as such.

        The bill effectively reverses the unprecedented abdication of authority over broadband that FCC Chairman Pai instigated in the agency’s 2017 repeal of its 2015 Open Internet Order that established the net neutrality rules under Chairman Tom Wheeler. Those rules prevented broadband providers from blocking websites, throttling web traffic, or creating “fast lanes” only for those able to pay for prioritization. Prior to Chairman Pai’s abdication, Republican and Democratic Commissions had agreed the FCC had authority over broadband – the question was just under which title of its statute. The bill also prevents a future-FCC from backtracking on other broadband consumer protections – fundamental in an increasingly online world. Public Knowledge urges Congress to swiftly pass this bill once introduced.

      • a game in my head

        One thing that I've never told anyone is that I freated a game that I've been playing for more than 10 years.

        The concept of the game is really weird, as it's about floor patterns, the position of the feet, and breathing. There are floor patterns that requires me to put my left foot and right foot in a certain position, some that may require me to stop breathing once I stepped on it, some are non rewaeding, some are very rewarding. It's quite a mess, it's also quite dangerous as I have to look at thr floor for most of the time, but it's fun for me, and I somehow survived playing it.

      • Deus Ex

        I've been a pseudo conspiracy junkie since I was very young. Not in that I believe in any, but that I've always found them interesting. Belief in such phenomena is very quaint; not in a negative way, but in that it harkens back to a very "early human" mindset. Which makes it ironic then, that I became such a big Deus Ex fan without knowing how central it played a part in the originals. I got enthralled by HR, but only ever really gave IW a decent try; always failing to struggle through the OG.

I finally got around to watching some of them and decided to finally make use of my page here to talk about them as I go through them. My main motivation for this right now is to have a personal record of these shows and movies that I can look back on. But I also hope that I can spread some enjoyment to others out there should any of these interest you :D

      • Kink aesthetics



        i recently had an excellent conversation with a fellow kinkster about kink aesthetics, during which we discussed the pervasive idea that a kink event must (apparently) have a medieval-industrial vibe: a ‘dungeon’ flooded with industrial music[a]. Not only that, but there is a relative homogeneity to the sort of outfits seen as appropriate for such an event: leather, for example, is expected in a way that brightly-coloured drag gear is .... not. Still, and much to my delight, they were planning to attend just such a kink event in just such gear.
