Honestly, I rarely ever use openssl these days unless I must. Now, I go for Botan, or cryptography, or monocypher, any number of cryptographic library alternatives that are designed well and are really fast.

I literally had to do this push > commit > test loop yesterday because apparently building universal Python wheels on MacOS is a pain in the ass. And I don't have a mac, so if I want to somewhat reliably reproduce how the runner

You do realize that these AI scrapers are most likely written by people who have no idea what they're doing right? Or they just don't care? If they were, pretty much none of the problems these things have caused would exist. Even

Am I the only one who saw this syntax and immediately though "Man, this looks almost identical to Rust with a few slight variations"?

I mean, this still wouldn't work. Mainly because people would categorically hate it. I mean, would you want to have to "prove" your an "adult" (whatever that happens to mean depending on where you are in the world)

I ran into the borrowc so many times when doing OS dev. Which is why I hold the position that Rust is (not) a suitable language for OS development/kernels/embedded systems. In such scenarios, multithreading/multiprocessing is

This doesn't work, because something still has to be stored (unless you like the idea of being nagged everywhere you go online (including just clicking links) to "verify your age"). That upends the entire "well it's

I love the MPL and I use it wherever I get the opportunity. IMO it has all the advantages of the GPL and lacks the disadvantages (the viral part) that makes the GPL so difficult to use.

I don't see how Oauth2 is a legacy technology. It will never be until all of the problems of passkeys are solved. And I very much wouldn't just dismiss oauth2 as something only businesses have, because Oauth2 does have its uses wh

I've tried this out and I could definitely see myself using it. Could use it as a form of build machine or even distribute some of my infra onto them maybe. I don't work with agents very much but still, this is neat and I hope it

You have got to make a better website design. I'm a very curious person so was able to figure out what this was but you cannot expect all visitors of your website to be that way. Also, stop charging for SSO/OAuth2 integration. Ser

I'm sure this will be shot down as being just as unconstitutional as when Texas tried this stunt with porn sites.

I would happily switch to Linux, problem is it doesn't support the audio hardware I have. And although I've tried to figure out how the drivers get it working on Windows, I can't separate the wheat from the chaff in the 500+

So I tried this on the NVMe specification (I have a huge library of PDFs) and it worked decently, though the output had some oddities: - Parts of the table of contents were headings - I didn't like how tables were links to separate mar

Honest answer (since your not trolling): The difference is more of time than anything else. If I somehow find $5000 to buy access to the PCIe spec, my understanding is that it's per access request. NVMe doesn't charge at all for t

by ethin 10mo ago
Same thing applies to PCI. I can get USB specs for free from USB-IF. But the PCI and PCIe specs cost $4000 plus. Just so I can write my own PCI driver. Legally, I mean. Oh, there is external references, but what if I want the authoritative

by ethin 10mo ago
Yeah, I'm curious about this too. I would think that making a standard freely available (and at most doing what NVMe does where you pay membership dues) would make the standard be adopted far more universally than putting up weird barr

It is part of the issue here. This specific post is about the HDMI forum having an insanely restrictive NDA, but the broader problem of SDOs charging obscene amounts of money for what amounts to trivially reproduceable digital documents (or

We really need to just force all standards organizations to release their standards for free. No making you pay $300 or whatever for a standard. (The PCI SIG makes you pay like $5000 for access to the PCIe standard...)

This is a nonsense take that gets perpetuated over and over. For some reason. Purchasing alcohol or buying a car is not the same as verifying your age on an internet property. They aren't even comparable. This is just as dumb as saying

I'll be honest... I'm not at all surprised that this happened. Purely because it seems like everyone who wants to implement AI just forgot all of the institutional knowledge that cybersecurity has acquired over the last 30-40 year

Fully agreed. I can't upvote yet (nto enough Karma) but corpospeak is IMO never the solution unless your in court or something.
