Thanks for the smh link. Parliamentary committees propose all kinds of things, they don't become law. The title here is wrong, it isn't the govt proposing it as a law. Not that they mightn't try, but it's silly to confla

With rolling codes, if you (or a toddler) press your remote button too many time while out of range of the car, will the remote and car get out of sync? More than 60 or 255 presses or something like that? I guess there must be a mechanism f

Isn't the main reason for knfsd being in-kernel that it depends on inode number to file lookups? Does samba have the same problem? The kernel nfs server is IME more robust than userspace options like ganesha, but that seems to mostly b

Australian bank cards like Westpac work fine in Google Pay, its not like they're locked into bank apps. The bigger problem with Google pay is that it's too slow to open now after the rewrite. It's a time critical app, you&#x2

It'll save disk space but not resident memory? Debug symbols etc shouldn't be paged in. The Linux binary goes from 20MB to 10MB stripped.

Is Youtube actually a social network or a broadcast medium with a very narrow feedback medium? All the big channels I know about (only briefly) have forums etc external to youtube.

Are the hyperscalers (proclaimed target market?) likely to be willing to give up control of the compiler stack to a third party like that? Generally the trend seems to be keeping software expertise in-house.

Out of curiousity I tried linkerd2-proxy here on a i5-1145G7 (I guess similar total CPU? Less cores, laptop model, newer). Took 5 minutes but used ~6GB resident. Maybe yours was swapping a lot?

TCP Fast Open has one difference that the cookie is system wide. So opening a Private Browsing window won't help.

There's a chance of a server receiving duplicate data from SYN packets, which some applications won't tolerate. https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7413#section-2.1 There are some extra tcp_fastopen

I don't think TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT does that - "Allow a listener to be awakened only when data arrives on" it just changes the timing of accept()? What you describe sounds more like TCP_CORK, but I don't think that'll w

Has anyone seen a good code example of sending server response data in a SYN+ACK packet on Linux? Last time I tried it didn't seem to work - I could only get data in the client's SYN, the server sends an empty SYN+ACK. Perhaps I&#

Is the internal error correction done on the eMMC module? Perhaps they don't trust that, or are being wary of bit errors on the data lines. It seems like a fair bit of effort for a device like this - I wonder if the same u-boot codebas

You could possibly use ZFS with sha256 checksums for that purpose? You would have to somehow sign the merkle root each time you write it, not sure how easy that would be. Perhaps write it to another partition and hope it's atomic enoug

If it's renamed in Linux the inode number will remain the same. (Good luck finding where the new file is, I guess Sublime would spot it if it's within the currently opened directory/project with inotify)

OpenSSH specified and implemented it first. The section on U2F describes it https://www.openssh.com/txt/release-8.2 Not sure if GitHub have pushed their server side code upstream, I think they were using libssh.

It could use a Queue of some kind rather than just pushing onto a deque between threads [1]? Then it would idly wait for the results_thread_main to push results. I guess that might be what Mitogen does (along with other improvements), a fas

How does error handling work in Wuffs? That seems to be an important aspect for a reliable language, it wasn't immediately clear from the docs. Edit ah found it, https://github.com/google/wuffs/blob/main&
