I’ve only seen vague suggestions of what is actually being gated through this verification. Is there a more definitive explanation of what will require the verification? Either way…

Mehdi is such a wonderful educator! I wish I’d had him as a professor for whatever topic he’d be interested in teaching.

ImHex++. I also can’t help but shill for 010 Editor, a commercial alternative that one might describe as a little less opinionated.

I developed a font with a similar resolution that was not nearly as legible for my Pi Zero with an e-ink screen many years ago. It allowed for similar tooling such as the flipper z…

I’m not a software engineer. Most of my work these days focuses on microcontroller exploitation. I have 15 years of professional experience as a security consultant/contractor.

I mean this genuinely and in good faith in case you didn’t already know it: the term for “non-blank, non-comment…” in programming is usually “Significant Lines Of Code” or SLOC.

I think the author’s intent is well-placed, but it does feel a bit sad that this subject is blog-worthy. I’ve spent a lifetime teaching myself programming, computers, and engineeri…

Terry Pratchett wrote an excellent metaphor for this concept: https://terrypratchett.com/explore-discworld/sam-vimes-boots...

I’ve had a good experience running Arch Linux on my “gaming” PC in the living room. It helps that I’m very comfortable with Linux internals, but I’d say I have no issues or issues …

Are there any generally available microcontrollers with this block inside? “Open source” has a very different meaning when it comes to silicon.

This is the general premise behind Ken Thompson’s “Reflections on Trusting Trust” and I highly recommend you read it if this is something that interests you.

Oddly, “7070” seems to always return a Database Error for me. Other numbers work fine.

Is there evidence that shows a trend in increased violent crime committed using 3D-printed weapons? I’ve certainly seen projects and models demonstrating the ability to create fire…

The wording and tone of the emails sent to Adguard reads just like phishing emails with a hint of political SMS spam. Glad to see the people behind there thinking critically and ac…

I’ve been running an Incus cluster of 3 fairly beefy servers for about a year now. It’s my go-to recommendation for anyone wanting to setup a new virtualized environment. One of my…

Yes, it can do both. The image server will build for both options if possible, so you have to specify “—vm” on the command line creating the domain.

SS7 strikes again!

In my experience, anyone running Wayland is very much used to some number of applications that depend on Xwayland. Does Zathura + MuPDF not work with it? Either way, if you want to…

FYI - the inclusion of UWB (specifically the FiRa consortium secure ranging standard) was not part of the CCC Digital Key specification until v4.0.0, which only left its draft stat…

Toyota moves more slowly than many other brands because of their company culture/philosophy. To your point about BEVs, Toyota started producing BEV batteries at their plant in Nort…

Wow, this is overall great advice. I am much later in my career than the audience I assume this is intended for, but I have struggled to mentor junior colleagues on many of the maj…

I was a little disappointed to discover there was only 1 degree of separation between “Benito Mussolini” and “Bread”. For context: https://blog.jxmo.io/p/there-is-only-one-model
