On topic of fear of nuclear war: After reading Daniel Ellsberg's The Doomsday Machine, I'm surprised we as a species are still around.

On Linux, you could create a udev rule to give you permissions on any attached raw disks (if you feel particularly adventurous). What's the license for ffs?

Stunts was the greatest! You could make your own tracks, save replays and (IIRC) even resume gameplay from any point in the replay. My very favorite game of all time.

.. and have been for a long time. I don't remember the last time I reached for a hand-written SDK for a HTTP API. It's always some codegen affair. But out-of-the-box experience for…

Mine too! Another Lightwave-produced show I loved was Space: Above & Beyond.

> if i remember it correctly: they used a software called "lightroom" Afaict, it was Lightwave3d, that I just learned still lives to this day. Last release June 11 2025. Also used …

Sounds interesting. What's the title?

It is subject to legislation and certification, but it's harder to lobby when you can't privatize the direct costs. Still, scams are common (e.g. inflated medical equipment costs).…

Others pointed plenty of arguments, but the ones I find most compelling (not necessarily useful in this context) are: - you can serve any number of disjoint websocket services via …

Sure, socketpairs on Linux.

Care to elaborate?

My cynical take is this is regulatory capture on part of the most lucrative tech sector in the next few years, in return for campaign contributions.

Wow, that's massive. I guess it's inevitable that a popular piece of open-source software for end-users will be compelled to accrue dependencies due to popular demand for features …

In every program that uses a particular feature from the stdlib. Given the same feature, I tend to trust stdlib more than some rando project. And if you don't trust the stdlib, why…

Clearly you didn't read my socrates note.

FIPS and "be secure" aren't necessarily a full overlap: there's plenty of ways to be secure that isn't even allowed in FIPS, so you need to actively disable that set if you run FIP…

Does this mean FIPS-enabled software never runs as such in production (or at all) in environments where it is supposedly mandated?

I like the "go generate" approach to integrate such tools. I used a different (but identically named) go-enum tool [0], which accepts the go type and generates implementations for …

If you want to relive some the joy of X-Wing, X-Wing Alliance Update (XWAU) modernizes the XWA game (including VR support). For TIE Fighter afficionados, there is even a TIE Fighte…

Interesting. Can you expand a bit on the kinds of problems that websockets would encounter with such middleware? I've seen a fair share of surprises on just TCP from DPI/MitM and h…

I heartily agree. Don't treat yourself like a 3rd party.

Thanks for the blog post. Ep383 of the Linux Unplugged podcast [1] also went into detail with CentOS members. What CentOS gave you until Stream was (with some delay) the "same" set…

I once used make to jury-rig a fairly complex set of backup jobs for a customer on a very short notice. Jobs were grouped and each group was allowed to run a certain number of jobs…
