It's a straight line from Jesusonic to Reaper: Jesusonic JSFX script is in Reaper, and there's a whole selection of stock JS plugins that come with it and it's actually quite easy …

It is, of course, only a matter of time - just like kernel-level copy protection and Sony's XCP - before something like Vanguard in particular is exploited and abused by malware. H…

Well, it's less of a technology problem than it is an industry one. You can have multiple entries in the genre list and they're freeform, for example Ambient;Electronic, in both ID…

I do a similar thing — also with AHK! — and I don’t intend to stop. I think probably the AI/LLM bubble will pop before I consider changing my habits there. Tip: Patterns like “It’s…

All kinds of self-published stuff, lots of which later became commercial. You will have heard of some of it, for sure . Darude - Sandstorm? That was from there. DragonForce were bi…

Basically all of my friends use it. I insist. I trust it; I don't trust WhatsApp (not because WA's crypto is weak, just because I don't trust who runs it now).

I mean, that brute-forceability was a reason for the newer v3 addresses; the v2 ones just weren't long enough. (As told to me by Alec, they bruteforced the first bit, but found a v…

Oh yeah, no, that's ridiculous. I'm moving.

You didn't even need Caetla. You could do that straight-up with the original ROMs for some of the cartridge series (FCD), and X-Link from DOS (or, if you were prepared to get invol…

They're all actually AI powered, generally some form of real-time RNN trained on identifying and isolating voice content from background noise or music. rnnoise2 is an open-source …

My memory there is a bit fuzzy, but saying there was no official Mozilla web browser feels misleading. The Mozilla Suite (which I used for a while even in the 'milestone' versions)…

If they were restricting controllers from the start, that would be one thing, and controller exclusivity is something every console manufacturer right back to Atari has always thou…

Yeep. That is not entirely unsurprising (it’s such a common flaw in basic section/chunk formats that they obviously didn’t research about even the possibility of security flaws, or…

That was Digital Research’s GEM, which Atari had licenced for the GUI of TOS (they threw it together quite quickly). There was a whole thing about GEM and inspiration from Xerox PA…

It was never unusual for cypherpunks to use nyms. Amongst the many ideological and practical reasons, for example worries about if authorities would treat a creation and its creato…

There's probably also the issue that there is no _one_ 5GHz band. Suddenly you have to deal with DFS radar detection, and different regulatory compliance domains. It now matters wh…

The concept happened way before that too. Even though the Atari ST and Commodore Amiga had different floppy disk formats (and were bitter rivals), because they shared their main pr…

Use WPA3-Enterprise (you can use Let's Encrypt to get a valid certificate so it works fine in a home environment). Don't use SAE (which is, indeed, an instantiation of Dragonfly). …

It does indeed seem to be DRAGONFLY (I'd heard rumours indicating such in advance): a surprising choice for an interactive protocol with attacker-observable timings, I felt, given …

Not immediately, but I feel that as those protocols become more ubiquitous, _maybe_ the base Tor transport protocol (for nodes which aren't bridges) might be able to benefit from s…

They ported the PICO-8 version line by line to C#. Since there aren't that many lines, apparently it wasn't that hard.

Yes. This kind of technique, and the exploitation of minor CPU errata, can be used to help differentiate processor models and steppings. That in turn allows a currently widespread …

Thank you for respecting that. I believe you understand. I have to say I'm completely unsurprised at your follow-up result - I've always held that view myself. Code style isn't jus…

Two points here, about both the advice and the people giving it. Regarding the advice, personally I think the advice is bogus. A lot of Mastodon instances have started legitimately…

And indeed (from my skim-read, and please bearing in mind that I know very little about quantum computing) the paper seems to combine that same Grover's algorithm used to speed up …
