FWIW, you can write the conditional compilation example like so: fn read_keys(#[cfg(feature = "splitapple")] port: nrf52840_hal::pac::P1, #[cfg(feature = "keytron")] port: nrf52833…

Answering my own question.. A cryptographer friend offered an answer to this question: The network operator may be the same as or colluding with the target resolver, defeating the …

Why encrypt the first hop? Why isn't this just plain DoH with a simple CONNECT forward proxy to 1.1.1.1, like Signal's Giphy proxy [1]? [1] https://signal.org/blog/signal-and-giphy…

The Plundervolt [1] paper is one study in what exactly goes haywire when a processor is undervolted. They found that the computation errors induced are quite consistent and reprodu…

Well, reading the IRS guidelines on what qualifies as UBI, it seems like it might fall under that category, but I'm also not an expert, which is why I'm asking for a more qualified…

I agree. Becoming and staying a non-profit is harder than you'd think. The IRS's rules are vague and subjective. This is specifically what I'm talking about: "If unrelated business…

Does anyone have a clue if they'll manage to keep their 501(c)(3) status with $1.1 billion in profit for 2019? My understanding is that profits like this unrelated to their normal …

I see your point. Especially since cost-based KDFs rely on the predicted characteristics of future hardware.

I think if my password is worth 17.5 trillion CPU seconds then I'm a very lucky person...

Exactly, 1000 guesses per second is probably a reasonable target to tune your KDF's difficulty to, depending on of course the application and the amount of resources you're willing…

If passphrases are easier to remember, then it may be possible for a human to be able to recall many such passphrases at the same time. If these passphrases are used for services w…

Am I missing something, or is the reason most of the queries observed have low TTL because, well, they have a low TTL? IOW, the higher TTL responses would be cached downstream and …

Looks like pretty good code, but interesting that they only have a few dependencies and decided to implement a lot of stuff, like kernel polling, themselves rather than using the m…
