Yeah I have some devices that expect the manufacturer charger (I guess it's pre-negotiated to 19V or something) and I'm not even sure what was the point in giving it a USB C connector.
Does the server also handle TLS internally, or is it behind a proxy? FYI statically linked darkhttpd is also 138K, and could probably be used as a library.
This is true but I can do the same on free ChatGPT without even logging in. I wouldn't pay $5 a month for that functionality, much less $20 (or >$1000 to be able to run it at home). SOTA AI for "serious" work is in a…
If you're already losing and losses are capped past some point (worst case just kill yourself), high stakes gambling is quite logical. Of course in reality, gamblers are rarely driven by game-theoretical analysis.
When we talk about "E2EE" messenger apps, that usually means more than just using HTTPS. VPNs can certainly help with encryption in transit, but that's a very different concept. Unfortunately this comes up a lot, with…
How are VPNs related to end-to-end encryption?
Hah, someone from UK seems to have a camera pointing to his cannabis plants... Hopefully the guy has a "loicense" for that, otherwise it would be a hilarious way to get busted
Isn't consulting one of the most high-margin areas in general?
Right up there with fun, safe math optimizations
I believe 32-bit was chosen partially due to implementation efficiency reasons. It makes sense because you can allocate a 4GB mapping, so there is no need for a second software virtual memory layer. Also perhaps they…
For a moment I thought this was another case of AI psychosis, like the post from week ago about the "content-addressed lattice heap" but this is actually pretty neat.
Ironically news outlets like to use the phrasing you rightfully point out as absurd. Not sure if they just do it randomly or only when they get orders to push a certain narrative. >Car plows into Christmas market in…
Don't most companies have a Git repo for skills that you can pull?
Because it costs money? Believe it or not, most places don't pay you 6 digit salaries for shuffling around YAML.
It is a fantastic init system/service supervisor. My problem with it is basically everything else. I think its developers see systemd as central to the entire system, basically the userspace counterpart to the kernel. I…
SDL is a relatively high level API and framebuffer style graphics work fine on it. I think there are some edge cases for X11 with non-compositing window manager where you will get interesting glitches if the window…
Yes, only... 25m? You must have a bigger room than I do :)
I'd agree if POSIX provided something like an open() flag which made the changes visible atomically, but as it stands, the rename() idiom is the mainstream way of durable file writing, so it is commonly used. Practical…
Hard links suffer from the general issue of there being two styles of writing to a file - open(2)/write(2) vs rename(2). Depending on the internals of each program you use to update the file, you will get very different…
If you use the VPN for the Web, browser fingerprinting is a major threat outside of specialized scenarios
If you blindly TOFU ssh sessions, those can be pwned easily in many common use cases. Legacy software configurations like NFS with IP authentication will be bypassed. Realistically the most likely scenario is using your…
It also sets a HN=1 cookie, so you may need to clear that or use incognito
AFAIK Lambda and everything else will use micro-VMs. No serious company would use a shared kernel design for workloads in different security contexts. (Personally I wouldn't even use the same hardware host, but…
And how many of those actions do uncached downloads instead of building self-contained offline images... Speaking of which, I wonder if GitHub has implemented any HTTP interception for common mirror sites, like used by…
If you have /proc available, you don't even need to disable ASLR (all mappings are available to you)
