Finance jobs in London / New York (partially) can afford those pay rates because they extract wealth from the rest of the world. Whether they do so in return for services rendered or are extracting rents by acting as gatekeepers is a q

OpenBSD refactored their system to use async signal safe re-entrent syslog functions, so it’s possible that the author of this code simply assumed that it was safe to make this change, forgetting (or completely unaware) that other platforms

If your metadata about the data is in the same channel as the data then you’re doing in-band signalling.

That’s still in-band signalling: The metadata is in the same channel as the data.

At some point, all protocols include in-band signalling somewhere: You have to put packets on the line, and those packets are ultimately just a stream of anonymous bytes. If it wasn’t a period, it would be something else & you’d have to

That only happens once at startup though? IIRC the original detection was because sshd was using a lot more CPU coping with the torrent of spam connections any sshd on the internet gets than it usually would.

It's doing an extra ECC operation on every connection, but that shouldn't take 500ms on a modern CPU. The people who have reverse engineered the code say it also requires the command message to be bound to the ssh host key as well

Debian packages can have epochs too. I’m not sure why the maintainers haven’t just bumped the epoch here. Maybe they’re expecting a 5.6.x release shortly that fixes all these issues & don’t want to add an epoch for a very short term pac

It is a web app. Runs a local webserver & talks to a browser.

There might have been a Tk GUI at some point, but these days it’s a local webserver talking to a local browser which handles the UI. It’s just another rest webapp internally I think.

Still works for me. I think there was a libc issue a year or two ago, which was fixable by patching the libc they bundled with the app.

by pja 3y ago
Huh. It works fine for me. However, sometime around then it stopped launching the bundled browser & started launching the system browser to talk to the webserver that runs in the background & manages the local storage (SQLite IIRC)
