> Idling "gaming PCs" idle about 30-40w. Hm, do they? I don't think any stationary PC I've had the past 15 years have idled that low. They have all had modest(ish) specs, and the setups were tuned for balanced power

I have to disagree, because your assessment is outdated and somewhat shallow. My impression is that it doesn't rest on much real programming experience with PHP either. To stay with the topic, these arguments are in essence a way of tr

I entirely agree that we could've cared better for the leading 16 bit space. But protocol-wise adding a second component (images) to the concept of textual strings would've been a terrible choice. The grande crime was that we squa

Try NSD. Unlike unbound, NSD is the actual authoritative name server in the project.

Then I stand corrected. Seems I've had the misfortune of buying only the Arm SoCs/boards where OpenBSD so far cannot control the CPU frequency.

by daneel_w 1y ago
Heads-up: OpenBSD does not yet support power-saving on anything Arm64. The CPU will be running at full throttle the entire time, which will be a showstopper in some cases.

Yes, obviously. It's just the first time I've seen a CPU designer/manufacturer use such relaxed "informality" in a spec sheet.

Imagine coughing up those blasé closing words to a topic of physics that scientists are trying to unravel. "Well, we can nitpick about the details, but that's the crux of it."

Not quite. The emissions act as an electrically conductive medium. In a roundabout way it's similar to how pure and deionized water is an insulator, but tap water is conductive because of various impurities.

They're certainly not blazing, especially not if running on SD-based storage, which is horrifically slow at doing the intense small random writes this type of process entails. But this doesn't really say anything about OpenBSD, on

Streamlabs is crap on iOS, crap on macOS. As someone else mentioned, OBS works great. I've had no issues with it.

It doesn't "greatly" affect it at all. The extra traffic and time required between curve25519 and ML-KEM768+X25519 is actually less than the jump from RSA2048 to RSA4096. Imagine how silly a person would appear if they had be

We're nowhere near the point where there's any general concern regarding the sizes of 256 bits or 512 bits for hashes, block sizes, key sizes etc. Currently we don't need to consider the problem as a question of what time is

I don't understand your responses here. Clearly you are not familiar with what problem peppering solves, or why it's a recommended practice, no matter what self-contained password hashing you use. bcrypt, scrypt, Argon2; they are

The average person will create a passphrase from their personal dictionary of most-used words, amounting to a fraction of that. An attacker will start in the same way. Another problem with passphrases is that you'll have a hard time re

by daneel_w 1y ago
Using memorable passphrases online is always a bad option because they're easily broken with a dictionary attack, unless you bump the number of words to the point where it becomes hard to remember the phrase. Use long strings of random

by daneel_w 1y ago
Peppering is for protecting self-contained password hashes in case they leak. It's a secondary salt meant to be situated 1) external to the hash, and 2) external to the storage component the hashes reside in (i.e. not in the database

It's not broken. It's just potentially less helpful when it comes to protecting poor guessable passwords. bcrypt isn't the problem, weak password policies/habits are. Like bcrypt, argon2 is just a bandaid, though a tiny
