You can talk to an employee in google if you believe there is a security issue/vulnerability in their services but complaining about someone sending spam? forget it

Yes I incorrectly wrote "not automatic" when it should've been "not instant". Thanks for the correction also for correcting the delay.

The gist of my comment is still valid though. miners are operating at a loss because they're waiting for the difficulty adjustment to happen.

Lebanon says Israel sprayed southern villages with concentrated herbicide (www.bbc.com)

submitted 2 months ago by sun_is_ra@sh.itjust.works to c/world@quokk.au

2 comments fedilink

The agriculture and environment ministries said laboratory tests confirmed the substance was glyphosate, a chemical used to destroy vegetation, with concentrations in some samples "between 20 and 30 times the levels usually accepted".

President Joseph Aoun condemned the spraying of what he described as "toxic substances", calling it a violation of Lebanese sovereignty and an environmental and health crime.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) told the BBC they had no comment on the matter.

[-] sun_is_ra@sh.itjust.works 243 points 11 months ago

The "TM SGNL PIN" message is displayed on an unofficial — and less secure — version of Signal created by a company called TeleMessage, which makes clones of popular messaging apps, but enables the ability to archive messages

TeleMessage is an Israeli software company based in Petah Tikva, Israel. Founded in 1999 by Guy Levit and Gil Shapira, it provides secure enterprise messaging, mobile communications archiving and high-volume text messaging services.[1]

Unique 0-click deanonymization attack targeting Signal, Discord and hundreds of platform (gist.github.com)

submitted 1 year ago by sun_is_ra@sh.itjust.works to c/cybersecurity@sh.itjust.works

3 months ago, I discovered a unique 0-click deanonymization attack that allows an attacker to grab the location of any target within a 250 mile radius. With a vulnerable app installed on a target's phone (or as a background application on their laptop), an attacker can send a malicious payload and deanonymize you within seconds--and you wouldn't even know.

I'm publishing this writeup and research as a warning, especially for journalists, activists, and hackers, about this type of undetectable attack. Hundreds of applications are vulnerable, including some of the most popular apps in the world: Signal, Discord, Twitter/X, and others. Here's how it works:

Fly brain sheds light on human thought process (www.bbc.com)

submitted 2 years ago by sun_is_ra@sh.itjust.works to c/science@lemmy.world

9 comments fedilink

Now for the first time scientists researching the brain of a fly have identified the position, shape and connections of every single one of its 130,000 cells and 50 million connections.

It's the most detailed analysis of the brain of an adult animal ever produced.

One leading brain specialist independent of the new research described the breakthrough as a "huge leap" in our understanding of our own brains.

Why do teeth don't regenerate? by sun_is_ra in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

[-] sun_is_ra@sh.itjust.works 115 points 2 years ago

Your baby teeth and adult teeth all began developing before you were even born. Our DNA still contains all the genes that sharks use to grow their endless conveyor belt of replacement teeth, but in humans these genes are deactivated by the 20th week of foetal development.

The advantages of keeping the same teeth through adulthood is that they can be securely anchored in the jawbone, which allows us to chew tough plants and grains.
