Does `sysctl -w net.mptcp.enabled=0` work?

But it's not really useful until it has critical mass at say 80 or 90%.

I hope there is a way to reset the toner level/page count detection as that would let me refill the new toners which are chipped.

The independent researcher who published a proof of concept before the release did not.

Just to clarify that no actual PoC was published, just a demonstration video was floating about.

I'm sure we'll make a fuss about this today, but we won't hear about this project again for at least 10 years.

AT protocol? Likes Hayes compatible AT commands?

When a significant portion of devices are patched (including gui apps on mac), pulling off an MITM without detection is pretty much impossible. That would be usual culprits of telco, ISP, or public wifi. That's what I mean by the window has closed. Anyone attempting is taking significant risk of being detected; at least in my neck of the woods would be illegal to do as well.

Yeah also got to be lucky that the users are using https and not ssh. You're very limited in what you can mitm, you'll be trivially detected by patched devices (though maybe not acted on because nobody is the wiser), but then you'll need to serve objects with common/conflicting hashes -- fixing up that state synchronisation (what you call "correct") to then do nefarious things is not trivial at all. Extremely difficult to pull off successfully for git anyways or to do it in stealth.

Doesn't affect app bundles though, only *nix commands. This'd be detected pretty quickly, at least by the significant portion of patched devices.

The window of opportunity to MITM has passed. If you attempted an MITM from an easy vantage such as telco, ISP, or public wifi you'd be trivially detected as a significant portion of devices are patched, including on these unpatched macs as only the *nix commands are affected and not app bundles.

Not really a big deal, the window to do an MITM has passed.

New comment by commandersaki in "Ghostty 1.4.0"

commandersaki — Tue, 27 Oct 2026 19:24:50 +0000

I don't know about the others as I used Terminal.app on mac since Panther, but Ghostty has been a pretty good upgrade, at first offering 24-bit colour which Terminal.app didn't have at the time of its release. I also like the shell integration such as easy selection of command output. I don't ask much from a terminal as evidenced by using Terminal.app for almost 2 decades, but Ghostty has not once been an issue and is 'invisible' to me.

Is it 2^O(n) or 2^o(n)? (Edit: It's the latter according to the site, HN possibly mangled the title.)

Yeah. I love my 16" almost max specced out, but for travel I wanted something lighter and compact so I got a 13" m5 mba.

Love both.

Can't see the article because of paywall.

Nobody wants those jobs because they're illegally paying below award wage and the work conditions are substandard. Domiciled Australians (rightfully) expect fair wage and decent working conditions.
