Anubis's design is copied from a great botnet protection mechanism - You serve the Javascript cheaply from memory, and then the client is forced to do expensive compute in order to use your expensive compute. This works great at keepin

This is important work, and I thank you for it. These public transparency logs are important for keeping honest people honest, but also for keeping dishonest people out - If someone does manage to backdoor Google's build process, thi

There are tons of people in the West who have no qualms about doing this for pure crime purposes; many of them are the ones who espouse most ardently that doing this work for the government is immoral.

Internal documents doesn't mean they weren't lying. It just changes the target, the expected audience, of the lie. Many workers lie to their bosses. They speak what they think their bosses want to hear, and bosses tell them what l

That's nice, but they were interactive - You could move around the scene or change the camera angles. The fact that you could do this and prove it was realtime and not prerendered was part of the demo and most of the charm. Lacking tha

Having run an exit node for a couple of years, the worst part for me was the spam associated with torrent traffic. I got several notices per week of copyright requests, which I responded to with a form letter fuck off, but it was still obno

At one point I did the same for a comic app which was getting the earliest releases of a manga I wanted to read; I still don't read Japanese but was the buyer for my translation circle. They had similar forms of obscure obfuscation; Th

EVs chargers are known to contain about 5 lb of copper per cable, which is only about two bucks at black market scrap prices, but still enough to be worthwhile for the tweakers who are stripping it.

I've never had to restore a single file that's older than my local snapshots; The restores where I've needed an old subset have been a substantial enough subset that 4-5xing the data size on restore was not really an issue. I

I really love ZFS Native encryption, but this is the big problem with it. I use ZFS Raw Sends to store my backups incrementally in a cloud I trust, but not enough to have raw access to my files. ZFS has great attributes there, theoretically

I had a brief period of setup pain and then have never looked back, though have occasionally wished that feature parity came a little quicker. Podman is in many ways a delight, simpler in what it does in the general case and yet as powerful

In this scenario, where oscp is required and stapled: The CA can simply refuse to reissue the certificate if the host is compromised. It does not matter if it is refusing to issue an ocsp ticket or a new short lived cert.

Ocsp has always represented a terrible design. If clients require it, then it becomes just a override on the not after date included in the certificate, that requires online access to the cert server. If it is not required, then it is usele

You can add a metadata device to the pool at any time - it's probably faster to add that pool and wait for it to populate than to delete all that data with metadata on spinning rust.

A similar anti-pattern - WhatsApp has it's own contact list and list of users. However, you can't use it without granting the Contacts permissions. On my phone, though I have WhatsApp installed, I can't create a new chat -

All it takes for a TLD these days is a vaugely-legitimate use and about a million dollars[1]. This isn't hard for a large company or state actor to fund; Why would a mid-large religion not be able to? [1] https://newgtldprog

The technology is only new because the many previous attempts were so obviously failures that they never went anywhere. The history of "confidential computing" is littered with half baked attempts going back to the early 2000s in
