In newer versions, it's disabled by default and you have to do something like this to enable in ~/.ssh/config:

    Host *
    EnableEscapeCommandline yes

I assume the scanner is a separate library/service that receives the contents and returns a boolean safe/malicious result, and the implementation using MD5 to avoid expensive re-scans is an internal detail hidden from the caller.

Why do you mention AVR? AVR-GCC has C++ support, that's what made the original Arduino (before they switched to ARM) approachable to beginners.

> I'm not even sure it's working in the EU yet?

It's called PSD2 and it applies EU-wide since September 2019. Banks have to make _some_ form of API available to third parties. However, these third parties must meet certain criteria and get a license in one of the member states. This makes sense since they can access financial data, and they only have to do it once. So a fintech licensed in e.g. Belgium can access the APIs of a bank in France and vice versa. Since banks already have most of the necessary rules and paperwork in place, I've seen many banks themselves become PSD2 clients as well, offering customers the ability to manage "foreign" bank accounts through their app as well.

Not sure about VLC, but ffmpeg has great support for Blackmagic, you just have to download the Blackmagic SDK, compile ffmpeg with Blackmagic support (and the SDK in path) and then you'll have a separate input/output device available in ffmpeg. The other great thing about this approach is that this way audio also takes a dedicated, integrated path, bypassing OS layers and maintaining sync with much less effort.

Erlang supports hot reloading by design with no limitations. There can even be some threads using the old and some using the new version simultaneously. It was designed for phone exchanges where they aimed for 9 nines of availability. You can install it on most mainstream operating systems.

Not necessarily -- there can be a number of reasons one can access localhost over the loopback interface that does _not_ imply root access: SSRF, misconfigured tunnels, or just a plain unpriviliged account where the attacker couldn't perform privilege escalation (either because the attacker's incompetence or the system being up-to-date and/or hardened)

Yet we've had people argue that they wouldn't give us the public part of their JWT RSA signing keypair, because "they wouldn't publish that anyway", hence this post.
