In a way, but note that the government actors here have Opinions on the Chinese having capable models.

FS is almost certainly fs.com, who do sell lots of fiber stuff. I agree that less-than-milspec equipment should survive being installed in a home, but... this fiber didn't. https:/…

Thanks a lot for your response!

(Hopping in here because the discussion is interesting... feel very free to ignore.) Thanks for writing this up! It was a very interesting read about a part of networking that I do…

You're commenting on an article about people consuming less than $3/day; Americans on food stamps (SNAP appears to be about $4-6/day alone, not counting any other benefits) are a d…

Picking anything but PlantUML's default theme will make PlantUML look less 90's-Java. As a minimalistic solution, I already like "skinparam monochrome true" https://plantuml.com/sk…

I really like this article. I do think it's useful to consider that the unit of isolation ("process") of the cloud era is a VM or container, and that the major clouds do have some …

The error rate is given per bit, not per second, i.e. every few bars represents a distinct DRAM chip. That makes some sense, and the article explains quite well why DRAM would beha…

marktplaats.nl is the big "eBay-like" for the Netherlands.

It's not ideal, but it's not a cryptographic risk. Using an encoding that (like Protobuf) has multiple representations for a message may cause you problems if you switch implementa…

I was also thinking of promise pipelining, but note that the article proposes communicating A -> {B, C} -> D, never directly communicating from A to D. Cap 'n Proto "level 3" nodes…

One pitfall to consider: software development is often its own culture, and nourishing and valuing (or merging!) multiple distinct cultures in a company requires real effort from l…

The GCM (or XSalsa, or...) nonce is not secret - in almost all protocols the nonce goes over the wire in plaintext! - but must be a number-used-once. Those are quite distinct requi…

All other things aside, if a bunch of articles get written about the phone, a lot of people think of Heineken ;-). I'm far from a marketing expert, but I have definitely seen less …

That is on IEEE, not on the author - the article was originally published on the (fast, ad-free, privacy-preserving) author's site at https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/a-2024-plea-…

Why did you make epithaps? Any interesting organizational or technical challenges you encountered on the way?

It's partly a cost saving exercise, but also: running "chroot /var/empty /some/shitty/code" or putting "chroot /var/empty /some/shitty/code" in inetd.conf is useful . (On today's s…

Yes! After a bit of playing around, I can follow Rust reasonably well... but only with an IDE, which I've never used for C or even really for the bits of Java I wrote. I understand…

RSA-1024 is also a rather aggressive / dangerous choice, even before a quantum computer arrives: NIST SP 800-131A rev2 Table 2 and 5 forbid use of anything below 2048-bit RSA. Acad…

Yes, this is cool - thanks to fly.io for documenting and open-sourcing it!

I may just be confused, but couldn't you pass a pipe into the whole (server) process, instead of having it open its own sockets? (In https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/blob/48b2a…

FWIW, you can also get a mouse that wirelessly talks to a USB dongle, i.e. the interface to the PC is USB (which OpenBSD does support); the first hit I got is https://www.amazon.co…
