> Unless you plan to assign your Ethernet expander a domain name, how do you expect it to participate in WebPKI? Well, it does support DDNS, [1] so presumably some people do assign it a domain name. But I don't expect…
Debian Trixie is supposed to remove the "emSign ECC Root CA - G3" and "Comodo AAA Services root" in ca-certificates 20250419+deb13u1. [1] I don't see that update available after `sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade`,…
tl;dr: MCUs are space-constrained and often don't include root certs that aren't used by the one host they talk to. In my experience it's equally likely they just don't do validation to begin with. For example, my Elk…

I'd love to read more about your debuggable/benchmarkable/observable unikernel architecture and interfaces. Much more interesting than these "unikernels are the future" articles which make little reassurance they've…
This is the second unikernel article this week I think, and the second that really undersells the benefits of having a full OS. Let's just swap out a couple of words: > With a unikernel, the [observability] surface is…
I wonder if they ever considered a table-driven approach for `#[derive(Debug)]`, as `facet` [1] does. That would have been my first instinct for something this formulaic where binary size and compilation time matter…
You're never going to get promoted with that attitude! I'm joking...but not entirely. It sounds impressive on a promo packet when you say you've saved 100 TB of RAM / $$$ through whatever technique. But it sounds a lot…

Agree with your broader point, but out of curiosity: > It cost her nearly $10k to have a _used_ aluminum ramp installed for her house. Why so expensive? I did a quick search, and the only way I could get a (new)…

Nice. I don't have any ESPHome thermostats right now, but I have an ESPHome fridge/freezer temperature monitor. I adopted the same idea: it should integrate with HA when HA is available, but it should be useful even…

I'd be interested to hear the author's answer to your question, but I see it as an interesting proof-of-concept. It's testing the viability of not only rewriting PostgreSQL in Rust (and their choice of deps) but also in…
