It looks great. Congrats on the release (and welcome too)!

The linked post is about a new Metal-based renderer for OBS Studio on MacOS. The software you linked is for Linux.

Yes. There’s a whole family of papers by Chen, his students, and other VMware folks in this vein.

That would make it even easier to determine the length of the redacted word.

You are correct. Font character-width analysis + NLP = Exposure
Comment · 2 years ago
It's still not a good idea. Analysts may attempt to de-cloak the word with varying degrees of success by analyzing the width of the redacted word against font character widths and using techniques from the study of Natural Language Processing to identify likely word candidates that fit in context (e.g., with respect to the rest of the sentence or document).

I think it would just be:

  docker logs -f CONTAINER
If you want to watch logs from a specific file within the container then I would just use 'docker exec' and whatever shell commands you prefer.

It's a SaaS world, baby. Product updates (can) happen everyday. I'm not sure what that proved.

I didn't see you respond to my comment in this thread unless you post under two different accounts.

I didn't claim that. I believe in investing in security. I'm a security professional.

At this point, I'm confused, and I'm not sure what point you or the other commenter are looking for me to concede. Zoom is paying some security consultants, pushed out some product updates, and bought Keybase, so it's a story book ending?

I'm doing neither. I'm pointing out a logical fallacy in the parent comment. Hiring people part-time and buying a company does not, on its own, convey anything about improvements to product quality, security, or the corporate culture of either. I can only infer from your comment that you might think I have some beef or issue with Zoom. I said no such thing.

> The fact that they hired Alex Stamos and ...

Call my cynical, but "hiring" a bunch of infosec celebrities and critics as part-time consultants or contractors should be considered nothing but a (brilliant and silencing) PR move until the day that product updates and analyses reveal otherwise.

In addition to Vault, an administrator can easily set up an SMTP route through the admin interface to copy-and-forward all inbound or outbound mail (delivering copies wherever they please). Of course, this would only catch messages sent or received after setting up the route.

Edit: an administrator can also create an API token with org-wide credentials, allowing her to read, write, and delete messages from any user's inbox.

I mostly agree, but it is lazy, sloppy, and unnecessary to combine “gay” and “flight attendant” at the hip as multiple people have done in this post.

As for deciding “what that makes me”, I was trying to obliquely save room for the case another poster brought up, namely being gay or bisexual.
