Yep! I worked at CodeWeavers during Proton development and we were basically contracted by Valve to build the whole thing for them. Although if projects like that interest you, the work on supporting Wine on MacOS after they drop 32 bit app

You should check out Anbox. It's basically a containerization platform for Linux that hosts an Android userspace and shares your host kernel a la docker. All you need to do is load the ashmem and binder kernel modules or build them sta

I would argue that using a VPN while routing under the Tor network mitigates any possible security that was originally provided by Tor. Even if there is N% possibly that a three-letter agency can find an identity correlated to a Tor client

I worked at CodeWeavers during the development of Proton, and one of the biggest hurdles for getting Wine (and therefore Proton) running on Haiku is the memory layout of Haiku[1] and subsequent failures of mmap(). I have a Haiku port that r

I ran into this problem a little while back trying to get my Linux implementation of the BSD unveil() system call merged into mainline. Some of the responses to the RFC told me that it shouldn't be added because glibc likely won't

It's probably due to WoW64 and WinSxS inflating due to dll caching and backup resources after Windows Update.

Stan Lee had a profound influence on both my childhood and adulthood. I can't even imagine how many other people he's inspired and touched through his works. Rest in peace Stan Lee; you will be remembered by all of us.

Besides IOMMU bugs, which silicon vendors often subtly add to their errata too much for my comfort; an IOMMU adds security against DMA attacks in theory . I specifically say in theory because oftentimes vendors either don't configure

Interesting project! I've written compiler frontends for both GCC and LLVM, and surprisingly found it easier to write one for GCC, despite LLVMs reputation on modularity. I'd love to hear the reasons why you chose LLVM for code ge

It's quite an interesting and ambitious concept, but I really hope they fix the avatar designs. I talked to some people around the room and the general agreement is that it's stuck in a sort of "uncanny valley" where use

I use libp2p extensively for an upcoming open source project, Melodyne[1]. While there are some semantics that are annoying to deal with in the Go bindings, it is the most feature-rich p2p library I have discovered to date. 1: https:/

It seems more like they wanted to make the rounds on various blogs and news sites which will inevitably display something along the lines of "Minecraft is now open source!" In the end, based on what they've currently released

Still, network security is extremely hard when the actor has physical access to your networking hardware. I currently live in a dorm situation and put each roommate on their own separate vlan on their own separate wireless gateway behind an

I stumbled across WasmJIT about a year ago and actually used many of the concepts in the project for my own kernelspace implementation of the portable native client (pNaCl). Projects like these are extremely interesting to me because they o

Another thing to check out in this area is JanusVR. The thing about Janus is that it makes the internet navicable from an immersive perspective. Granted this requires adding FireBoxRoom code to your site in order to make everything 3D, but

I make about $20 USD an hour doing low-level work writing performant C and x86 assembly at my current job. Granted, it's not my only source of income, but what is the average pay/hour for most devs?

Additionally, modern microcode updates are both encrypted and signed blobs. Granted, it's of little use if Intel/AMD are playing the role of bad actor or if the signing and decryption mechanisms are bypassed somehow; but trying to
