Nach dem Prinzip der koordinierten Offenlegung von Sicherheitslücken (Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure) melden Forscher*innen neu entdeckte Sicherheitslücken in Hardware, Software und Diensten direkt an die Hersteller der betroffenen Produkte. Die Forscher*innen geben dem/der Anbieter*in die Möglichkeit, eine Diagnose zu stellen und vollständig getestete Updates, Umgehungslösungen oder andere Abhilfemaßnahmen anzubieten, bevor eine Partei detaillierte Informationen über die Schwachstelle oder das Exploit an die Öffentlichkeit weitergibt. Der/die Anbieter*in stimmt sich während der gesamten Untersuchung der Sicherheitslücke mit den Forscher*innen ab und informiert ihn über den Fortschritt des Falls.

Under the principle of Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure, researchers disclose newly discovered vulnerabilities in hardware, software, and services directly to the vendors of the affected product. The researcher allows the vendor the opportunity to diagnose and offer fully tested updates, workarounds, or other corrective measures before any party discloses detailed vulnerability or exploit information to the public. The vendor continues to coordinate with the researcher throughout the vulnerability investigation and provides the researcher with updates on case progress.

Normalerweise kein großer Sport-Gucker, aber die Fußball-EM verfolge ich dann doch mal wieder ganz gerne.

Another one of Jasper’s tips. I knew the band already – and I’ve seen them live twice – but haven’t checked out their latest output.

Djenty, heavy, proggy stuff, with a great singer. Reminds me of Tesseract and Devin Townsend – which I both like – and probably a bunch of other artists, too. But that’s not to say they don’t have their own sound. They have! And I’m into it. And with proggy stuff like this, there’s often lots to discover after repeated listens. The refrains are sometimes a bit too “nice” for my liking, but apperently this didn’t stop me from putting this on again and again.

This is a classic isn’t it? It was my first watch, though. And I tend to like movies that play in space. This one was no exception.

It was maybe a bit too much action the whole time, but other than that, a solid movie with a more classic storytelling (fair enough, since this was released in 1997).

One scene that was involuntary funny to us was when the captain watched the horrifying things that happened to the previous crew on the video log and then says with a straight face: “We’re leaving!” We had a good laugh.

A rewatch. And totally worth it. I like the whole menacing atmosphere – both on earth and in space. The story is great, too, altough I’m still not quite so sure whether I understood everything.

With almost three hours in length, this is a movie I did not find too long. On the contrary: it could be even longer to explain things in more detail. I think the plot would have made a great TV series.

And I’m also not quite sure what the movie is supposed to tell the viewer. But my current short interpretation goes like this:

• Love is a strong – or even the strongest – force in the universe. Maybe…
• What does it matter to save humanity when you yourself are not with your loved ones.
• Humans will even (almost) fuck-up a realistic chance of settling on another planet because of stupid selfish reason.

I could totally see myself watching this a third time.

I managed to catch up a little with my photos: here are 159 exposures from 2020.

The whole strange year in one big entry.

I recently learned the intro solo to Metallica’s “One”, so I thought I record that as well.

This bit lent itself well to looper usage – which I use in this video to record the rhythm guitar.

It’s just played freely, so it turned out a little slower than the original. Also, playing without metronome or drums shows here, as a few sections are rushed.

This time, it’s simply recorded together with the iPhone video using the headphone microphone – on my leg, and directly in front of the Katana Mini amp.

To counter the complexity that is Blood Incantation, I need some easy listening. In comes this Gatecreeper album.

They also have this chainsaw sound going. Great riffs. A great vocalist. Nothing really new. But all I really need.

Tickle Down https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trickle-down-Theorie#Kritik The last 50 years has seen a dramatic decline in taxes on the rich across the advanced democracies. There is still fervent debate in both political and academic circles, however, about the economic consequences of this sweeping change in tax policy. This article contributes to this debate by utilizing a newly constructed indicator of taxes on the rich to identify all instances of major tax reductions on the rich in 18 Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries between 1965 and 2015.

Chrome will try out letting users subscribe to RSS feed right in the browser.

This is a welcome experiment, after all main browsers removed RSS-related features in recent years. I wish they came back. It’d be great if RSS feeds were surfaced via a consistent UI and the ability to easily subscribe to feeds without the need for additional software (at least to get started).

I don’t have high hopes, though.

My new friend Jasper recommended this band to me. And so this album has been in rotation ever since.

It’s technical death metal in a raw old school sound, interspersed with these atmospheric outer space parts. Not quite sure what this reminds of. Maybe Cynic!? Anyway, it’s a great album with (still) lots to discover.

My current favourite is the 18-minute long closing track “Awakening From the Dream of Existence to the Multidimensional Nature of Our Reality (Mirror of the Soul)”.

New pedals! The compressor is mainly planned for use with the bass. And the Eyemaster gives me the HM-2 Swedish chainsaw sound. Gonna learn some Entombed I guess!

Interesting lens. Only 30 USD. Here’s a review. Tempted to just order one.
