I started a data consultancy 2.5 years ago, and set up a lot of vendors and tools for my clients over time.

I found a recurring theme: the best tools for them were often open source, but the overhead of deploying them was too high. Then 2 years down the road, they were paying 6 figures for vendors.

Kubernetes Helm definitions have become a defacto standard for these projects to release "production" quality configurations.

Relativistic pulls these together through a terraform interface with sensible defaults to make it easy to set up a rich set of tools both locally and in production.

This is still early on, and a lot of work needs to be done for a production grade 1.0.0 release. Especially around state management. What exists now is already helping my clients today, and is what I use for my own projects.

I'd love any feedback you have!

From bulletproof glass, drones, and snipers to boulders blocking election offices, the US democratic system is bracing for violent attacks in 2024.

Uniquely hilarious, the serial-killer movie Creep reinvents the found-footage genre, then flips it on its head in the sequel.

The new chips drive additional upgrades, including Thunderbolt 5, increased memory (for AI!) and a much-needed webcam improvement.

Google has released an update for its Chrome browser which includes patches for two critical vulnerabilities.

The update brings the Stable channel to versions 130.0.6723.91/.92 for Windows and Mac and 130.0.6723.91 for Linux.

The easiest way to update Chrome is to allow it to update automatically, but you can end up lagging behind if you never close your browser or if something goes wrong—such as an extension stopping you from updating the browser.

To manually get the update, click Settings > About Chrome. If there is an update available, Chrome will notify you and start downloading it. Then all you have to do is restart the browser in order for the update to complete, and for you to be safe from those vulnerabilities.

Chrome is up to date

This update is crucial as it addresses two major security vulnerabilities. Previous Chrome vulnerabilities reported by Apple turned out to be exploited by a commercial spyware vendor.

Technical details

One of the vulnerabilities was reported to Google by Apple Security Engineering and Architecture (SEAR), which reported the issue on October 23, 2024. This vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2024-10487, can be used by cybercriminals as a drive-by download. That means that a victim’s device could be compromised just by visiting a malicious website or advertisement.

The vulnerability was found in Dawn, an open source and cross-platform implementation of the WebGPU-standard. WebGPU is a JavaScript Application Programming Interface (API) provided by a web browser that enables webpage scripts to use a device’s graphics processing unit (GPU).

In this case, the discovered vulnerability could allow attackers to write data beyond the allocated memory, potentially leading to code execution or system crashes.

The other vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2024-10488, was reported by researcher Cassidy Kim. That vulnerability in Chrome’s WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) component could lead to the execution of arbitrary code or cause a crash. It could be used for potential data theft or system crashes.
