scp only appears to have simplicity because it outsources large parts of its functionality (e.g. glob expansion) to the destination host's shell. scp/rcp was a great protocol for 1981 (yes, that's when it was introduced) but

Unfortunately, you can't alias scp=sftp as the commandline syntax is different. I'd love someone to write a scp replacement that attempted the sftp protocol first and optionally fell back to scp if that didn't work.

For workflows, we have good tooling based around https://github.com/yasuoka/cvs2gitdump to convert OpenBSD CVS commits to git commits in a "pristine upstream" repository ( https://github.com/dj

There's an old joke that Australia has the best concert hall in the world, but the inside is in Melbourne and the outside is in Sydney.

The design djb talks about of pre-generating batches of random numbers, deleting the cipher key and erasing the numbers as they are extracted is exactly what OpenBSD has done since Markus Friedl switched arc4random() to use ChaCha20 in 2013

The premise is flawed. X-ray inspection equipment is easy to find - it's regularly offered for sale on EBay and you'll find a number of teardown videos of various models on Youtube. The stolen X-Ray equipment is not being reported

Apparently they tried to publish it in another, more mainstream journal (though still not one of the top ones) and were rejected. This makes the hoxers appear actively dishonest in their claims.

This article is bullshit. DDT was never widely banned for anti-Malaria use, only for agriculture: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethan... In fact, the restrictions on agricultural use substantia

Agreed - the criticisms here are pure ad hominem. If there is a problem with SpaceX components, then that is surely more important and relevant than who wrote the article publicising it.

Not really, the Australian govt's ISDS case wins were largely because the tobacco companies were found to have little business standing to launch their cases from the (few) jurisdictions with who Australia has ISDS-ful treaties. The Ph

The ssh server on your Ubuntu machine is probably OpenSSH. If you're keeping your machine up to date with Ubuntu's security updates then you can let them take care of it. OpenSSL is separate software, but it provides a cryptograph

You've just demonstrated that you don't understand either the goals or mechanism of privilege separation: 1) it doesn't require root and 2) it protects more than the root account.

Extraordinary claims demand extraordinary evidence, and this paper doesn't provide it. It's based on a re-analysis of an experiment's data without replicating the experiment or conducting any new ones to address potential sou

Nice work - this solves a common problem. You might consider adding a recommended ssh_config to ensure that host names are canonicalised. This allows FQDNs in certificates to match successfully when users only supply a hostname. More detail

Does anyone have a link to the actual paper? As usual, it's impossible to get any useful information from a sensational mainstream science article. The article states that they studied rats and mice at 9 hrs/day exposure (at what

I'm not seeing the "stunning precision" promised by the headline. The extrusion seems to be ~7mm thick and significantly sags the moment it leaves the extruder. That being said, the results are aesthetically delightful.

This is bad advice based on emotive arguments. Components that were designed in the 1970s aren't a priori bad. E.g. 78xx and LM317 regulators are at least that old, almost as cheap as the sand from which they are made and very reliable

Yes, ssh will remove keys that are not in the set that the server sends it. I've updated the blog post to mention this :)
