How is docker a context switch overhead? It's the same processes running on the same kernel.

What does ed448 mitigate against vs ed25519?

by mkj 6mo ago
Fair enough. A 15 commit PR is still pretty long winded.

Looking at the PR discussed, it's 34 commits! I'd probably ignore that too as a maintainer. The PR description isn't particularly motivating, "Cleans up the implementation", "see #6735 for the actual motivation

Are you saying Bram hasn't worked on VCS problems much? https://web.archive.org/web/20071213090008/http://codeville.... is 20 years.

It looks like firecracker already supports ACPI vmgenid, which will trigger Linux random to reseed? https://github.com/firecracker-microvm/firecracker/blob/main... https://git.kernel.org/pub&#

Does that page even say which RISC-V CPUs are being used that are slow? I couldn't see it, which seems a bit of pointless complaining.

Intriguing work! Does it panic on any bad inputs? That's better than memory unsafety of libxml2, but still a DoS concern for some servers.

Fs.com are a well regarded company. The OP should contact them and see if there's a recall on those cables or something. Sounds similar to what happened with some mains power cables sold by a hardware store in Australia.

People in the industry would know that QNX has been around since the 90s (or 80s?) as a very solid embedded GUI platform. They're a company that doesn't need to prove their credentials. I'd agree using qnx.software rather tha

That seems worth suggesting to the acme working group mailing list, if it hasn't already been discussed there.

You'd get those benefits from traditional dependencies if you copy them in and never update. Is an AI dependency going to have the equivalent of "upstream fixes"?

AWS customers have to pay for outbound traffic. Is there a way to get them to send you (or cloudflare) huge volumes of traffic?

With Rust there are ways to do that on embedded (no heap). A wrapper StaticCell holds the allocation, then when you are ready you intialise it with the inner value. From then on work with a mut reference to the inner value. Being a bit verb

I agree generally, but is carbon-captured natural gas generation actually a thing? The only carbon capture I've heard of is at the gas production site removing CO2 from the reservoir gas and pumping it back underground - that's no

What kinds of side channels are you thinking of? Given the key exchanges have a straightforward sha256/sha512 combiner, it would be surprising that a flaw in one of the schemes would give a real vulnerability? I could see it being more

Hm, I guess that's one point. 15 years worth of accumulated revoked certs is a pretty big list though, not sure how much they win there. Idle thought - wonder if there are perfect hash-like constructions they could use for revoked cert

What purpose does the expiry date have? There might be something I've missed, but I really can't see one apart from needless complication, which is what makes it a mistake. (There are other problems in the UEFI/firmware ecosy
