> I call the Hormuz crisis the biggest strategic blunder in US history and it's not even close. This crisis created billions of arms sales which is a success for some, especially as it made the other scandal go away.

As The Crown is sovereign of the United Kingdom, is this running in Buckingham Palace or in City of London? Can the user choose which sovereign is doing the computation? I'd personally prefer not to have the weird uncle do the computat

Running the rust version in their prod for two weeks should be long enough to catch the biggest crashes and fix them. I'll be up to bug bounty hunters to find the big one that crashes all their app servers at once.

People did all the XP customization with compositor 3d effects and matrix screensavers. Then they hyped up Longhorn with all the magazines and delivered the Vista dumpster fire. IIRC ME would just randomly crash explorer.exe with task bar d

Wouldn't it be below your tolerance threshold then? ;) I feel during XP times it was basic string matching, and sometimes I miss that. At one point on linux they also started matching on description text, but then application maintaine

Yes, there have been some obvious race conditions - especially with the web results or on gnome/linux with the listing of open browser tabs. In a similar vein the browser search bar keeps remembering things you mistype once, and if you

At some point digital security turns into physical security, and there are national security interests that have fine-tuned their detection logic on these kinds of "buggy" behavior. If you patch it, you'd need to find another

IMO ASN-based blocking should be much more common, but unfortunately it is not supported as a first-class configuration option in many common tools.

We should frame it as "all .de domains are ready to be impersonated because everyone will disable DNSSEC".

On Monday there was a huge outage affecting several cities quite close to Frankfurt because someone cut major fiber line; today DENIC is having a party and right when everyone is drunk this happens because some post-rotation task cannot be

Did you measure the performance impact of having multiple trees in a single file vs. having one tree per file? I'd assume one per file is faster, is that correct?

Are you serious? The CPU firmware blobs are encrypted and nobody except Intel can see what is running there. A handful of people on the planet have the tools and skills to analyze the chip for backdoors. A small section of CPU cache could s

I think Linux/LUKS software encryption was a very big challenge and they solved it with multiple approaches - 2004: Linux LUKS disk encryption [0] - 2008: ring −3 / intel management engine [1] - 2010: AES instruction set [2] - 200
