The best cache is the one built into the database. People seem to forget that the major rdbmses have sophisticated cache strategies of their own and that handing them more RAM (and ensuring they are configured to use it for query or other c

Hey look it’s a “static” HTML file that decrypts itself using AES 256 CBC. Sure, that sounds static and simple and good for the web. What could go wrong. Some obvious limitations: -requires users to re-authenticate for every protected file

They have to justify their anchor lease in the building, true, but although they got naming rights it is not owned by them, I believe it is Boston Properties. The lease (reportedly) goes 15.5 years from 2017 so they certainly have incentive

I have been using Clojure for a solo project for a while now and find it shockingly productive. I initially planned to limit how much of the language "surface area" I explored to keep focused on solving the problem but was able to

This is a reasonable comment, even as a Clojure fan, I think this fits with how the community thinks of itself to some extent. I can't provide a specific citation but I know there is at least one talk (maybe Simple Made Easy but don&#x

The whole reason I was excited about Nostr was the censorship resistance but if the relays choose who gets to authenticate you’re back to square one (well, whichever square Mastodon is). Also, it seems naive to think that a ban on blocklist

Hi, that’s an interesting assertion but not actually accurate. It is vaguely related to the truth; djb acknowledges that qmail failed to partition in the way he advocates in the paper but says it survived without serious security issues for

Yup but if you terminate tls at the ec2 side (as in a reverse proxy) the tradeoff is less privacy since the upload/download data is fully observable from the ec2 instance. (Correct me if I’m wrong here, this is my memory from when I de

No, they clearly have access to the private key, otherwise they couldn’t copy it onto the path where the password is normally stored. Also, they don’t need any password to encrypt the file, pass uses gpg encryption so they can just use the
