Blackhole is the name of one of the services used in display-time malicious content filtering. I’m guessing the urls in that db were either generating a ton of backend load, so the…

I'm in the "Pro-Rust" camp (not fanboy level "everything must be rewritten in rust", but "the world would be a better place if more stuff used Rust"), and I love this post. They sa…

> I am also wondering if Meta still uses PHP or Hack Meta’s WWW codebase is its oldest, and still written in Hacklang. Lots of internal tooling is also written in Hack. I wouldn’t …

Coming from a Meta background (not speaking on behalf of Meta): "package/dependency management" - Everything is checked into a monorepo, and built with [Buck2]( https://buck2.build…

The "Memory Safety" of Rust is not that memory leaks are not possible, rather its how memory is accessed. Specifically, using "safe" Rust, it should be impossible to: 1. Access mem…

Ah that makes sense. For sufficiently small values of N, a hardcoded allowlist isn't a problem. You're probably right that RSA 4096 "just worked", and some library in their stack d…

> the legitimate ones I’d initially generated still worked This spooks me. I take this to mean either: - They are still using the compromised key for validation, meaning if you hav…

+1 to this. I run Ubuntu 22.04 with microk8s. Keep all my yaml files in a local git repo, figured out how to hook up my NAS to provide storage via nfs. It's definitely gone down a …

Any plans for OIDC support?

I'm guessing along the lines of: * Before hunters were corner cutting, the land was more desirable and I could have sold it for $X * With hunters now corner cutting, the land is le…

Zippy does use it, but I think the author was specifically referring to MyRocks https://myrocks.io/

The value of paying Tailscale is - You don't have to maintain the infra yourself. It is maintained by system experts, vs the necessity to learn such knowledge yourself - You are go…

No, I'm not an overly litigious person.

No clue. I had used it for maybe 10-100 of miles and didn't have any issues before this morning. The car's a bit dirty, maybe something's on the cameras? Before this morning, I wou…

I have a Model 3, and was excited to get the FSD beta access about a month ago. I don't use it super regularly, but it's neat. This morning I tried to turn it on, and the car immed…
