Deaths in wars/conflicts between Israel & Palestine 1987-2025.
Isn't it weird how many double standards mankind is capable of upholding? America, the UK, Germany, France (and etc) are of course first world countries, their governments claiming to be tenants of justice itself whilst still funding colonialism, Zionism, slavery, genocide, ethnic cleansing and so much more. Oh, what a world we live in. Yesterday, I came across a tweet by a young lady stating that she wishes that the world should stop caring about Palestine... God, that made my blood boil. Woman, you cannot even imagine the lives they're living right now. A good mother is the one that buries her child in one piece, and a good father is the one that manages to procure even a crumb of bread while he watches his children suffer knowing there is no safe water, no food, nothing, absolutely nothing, he can do to save his dying son...
With the recent increase in surveillance on citizens globally, this world sure is getting scary...

i ain't doin this again

there are really two major schools of thought in the security world.

there is the school of thought that pursues secure-by-design approaches. concepts like object capabilities come out of this way of thinking.

things which cannot be built in a secure-by-design way are hardened with mitigations to bring the thing as close as possible to being secure-by-design. concepts like PaX, pledge, landlock and seccomp come out of this way of thinking: if there is an attempt at aberrant behavior, deny it and let the program crash.

there is another school of thought that pursues interventions as the primary line of defense. concepts like antivirus, runtime anomaly detection, and so on come from this way of thinking.

the problem is that interventions can be bypassed: eBPF can be turned off, and trying to recover from an incident after it has already occured winds up being more intrusive than simply not allowing the undesired behavior to begin with.

interventions are easier, though, which is why most of the industry is focused around selling interventions.
