Gaaah, please stop advertising optical computers as the technology that will overcome Moore's law. It makes no effing sense. Wavelength of the light emitted by these devices: ~4000nm Latest generation commodity CPU transistor structure

That's not a good counterargument. Why you ask? Because that's something that OS vendors could easily and trivially deploy with only minimal effort. For example on Linux you could do this with running a localhost instance of unbou

There are (at least) two pieces to WireGuard. The wireguard "wire" protocol itself, which is implemented in the kernel. And the authentication and key exchange, that are done by userspace tools. Right now there exist the "def

One would wish so! I recently had to start using PulseSecure. For authentication that damn thing loads a full blown webpage in the background, actually executes the JavaScript therein, fills some forms and submits that via POST. There'

As far as I can tell the chain of events was: 1. shadowserver had an oopsie (i.e. added a false entry to their list) 2. that list was taken by the prosecutor's office to without further checks and by the authority of the prosecutor&#x2

I'd rather like to know, what gives shadowserver the authority to initiate such domain takedowns/sinkholing in an act that's pretty much vigilantism?

I'm a little bit worried about the amount of <450nm blue light emitted by these things. Even if they look warm white, there still might be a very prominent blue peak. Blue light at about 420…430nm has a very prominent retinal photot

These are only sockets through, through which you have to multiplex-serialize all the commands. In the Plan9 model, each and everything is represented by an individual file system entry. In Rio (Plan9's windowing system) every window i

IANAL, but here's my assessment on this: First and foremost, as far as I know, a registrar disclosing customer data without a warrant would violate the law in Germany as well. For `.de`-Domains the holder information used to be publi

Well among other things, one problem to solve is, how to control the output power. If you were to just charge a bunch of nuclear isomers, they'd afterward release the energy by a regular decay process with a given half life (or call it
