I'm sure there are some companies that realise security (or rather the critical lack of some important aspect of it) can impact profits, but that depends a lot on who their customers are too. Ultimately, if the customers who pay for a

Thanks for sharing those insights! I found this in a RIPE document on IPv6 best practices [0], and it's indeed worded quite strongly (emphasis theirs): "Assigning a /64 or longer prefix does not conform to IPv6 standards and

I couldn't find any such recommendation published by ARIN (the RIR for the US, Canada, and a few other countries nearby), though maybe I haven't searched hard enough yet. I have no experience with ISPs in other places around the w

It really would be nice for all ISPs to provide /56 (or shorter) prefixes by default instead of /64's so that we could properly subnet our internal LANs without having to resort to "solutions" like NAT (or just stic

I wonder how many people would continue to so casually use these services if they understood that, for the most part, there is rarely proper end-to-end encryption of their data with these services. It is awfully disingenuous when these comp

Yeah, that's a good point. As a further experiment, I tried with various "hardware" combinations (from 486's to Pentium II's) in 86Box, which actually performs such emulation, but unfortunately I haven't been a

I got it running as a VM guest on QEMU+KVM, exposing only a 486 CPU profile with 256 MB RAM, and it was still usable (with terminal, file manager, and some light web browsing). Looking at the system's memory usage though, it appears th

This is a good point, and by your example it's obviously feasible to find enough of a "collision" on both ends of the digest to make it look like a match at a careless first glance. In your particular example, I counted at le

As it appears Intel Capital is one of their Series A investors, I wonder if this has some bearing on the chances that there could also be an Intel CPU-based Oxide rack (or maybe individual sleds?) in the future. It seems that Oxide's p

This is a valid forward-looking concern that I think needs to be much more clearly addressed. It's one thing to have default-enabled telemetry in the toolchain itself, but once that window is open it's going to be much more diffic

With that change, no meaningful difference in the results from what I can tell: the program still prints two large integers (around 420M) and two smaller ones (around 85M).

How about storing the data on a filesystem that performs data checksumming, also configured in a RAID-1-like mirroring profile to enable any corruption to also be corrected? Filesystems like ZFS or BTRFS could be a good choice here.

I very recently upgraded and had considered both Raptor Lake and Zen 4 CPU options, ultimately going with the latter due to, among other considerations, the AVX-512 support. Future proofing is no doubt a valid consideration, but some of the

In general this makes sense, but I think you need to be careful in some cases where the lowest latency between two logical "cores" is likely to be between those which are SMT siblings on the same physical core (assuming you have a
