    Yosys and nextpnr have been production-ready for years, they handle your average hobbyist FPGA project just fine (and 1-2 orders of magnitude faster than the vendor tools).

    There are such things are RAM encryption, but yes, overall it's more fragile from a security perspective than a strong plain passphrase.

    If you rely only on TPM for key storage, yes, the disk is unlocked automatically and any sufficiently broken userspace application you can get your hands on will let you access it.…

    Thankfully that's just as illegal as tracking without consent (or in this case, explicit rejection).

    That definitely exists, but AFAIK it requires special equipment to get the signal across transformers. Not much of a problem in urban environments, but e.g. in low-density areas in…

    There's also Brandweer Lunteren, which had to shut down for a while recently but seems to be sanctioned now. Not much traffic footage there though, being a pretty small town in the…

    The tweets are real, and a couple people joined in on the collaborative fiction at the time.

    By the time you publish the key, it is no longer in your DNS records and thus no longer trusted by any receiving mail server.

    If the subdomains aren't supposed to be public, the public also doesn't need to trust the TLS certs. Sign them with your own CA and trust it on the devices that should be able to a…
