there was a source code leak and you can see some examples there which make the president's image more alluring. e.g. if you search for "Putin" they add an invisible "-crab" to your query

that's the most innocent example from the top of my head. There probably are many more serious censorship issues

I wish yandex worked well, but the enshittification wave reached it too. It used to have such a great reverse image search, now it's useless

I think it a reference to "default city" from the russian internet, when people noticed that people from Moscow never specify the city when talking about topics which would normally require knowledge of which city are they residents of

Eventually it evolved, sometimes people say "hey, I'm from DC" or "hey, I live in DC2" (that means the second largest city, Saint-Petersburg)

The page doesn't tell what the product does aside from "cleanness check". Of course my website is not "clean", who would want a clean white page for a website?

no, I mean the attacker boots his own copy of Windows or Ubuntu, which is supposedly trusted by the UEFI keys. Will tpm somehow detect that it shouldn't unlock secrets for this boot?

It all weird still

Suppose the physical attacker doesn't reset the bios. He boots Ubuntu or any other os which is signed. Will the tpm unlock and give out the key? I guess it depends on the setup and it's possible to unlock only on your own signed kernel but I doubt this is a default?

holy hell! snap-based kernel

can someone explain like I'm 5, what's the point of during storing disk encryption keys in TPM? What kind of attack or attacker do we protect from?

my logic is following: - if the attacker is remote and somehow modifies my kernel... Yes, the tpm and hardware attestation (is this the term?) would have saved me. But I'm fucked anyway since the attacker already has root on my computer

- if the attacker is local -- yes, with tpm they cannot steal just the hard drive and bruteforce it offline. But they can just reset bios and install their own os and trick me into typing the os passwords? Or even if they cannot trick me (hard to spoof my os UI) they can just install a physical keylogger?
