So as I understand the primary issue with SMR drives is that non-sequential writes tends to be slow because several tracks needs to be rewritten. Wouldn't the perfect solution be to make it a hybrid disk instead (i.e. add a small SSD t

Besides metadata, the word spacing algorithm in LaTeX tends to give a certain feel that you learn to recognize once you have seen it enough times.

I tried testing it out on a ThinkPad T61 to see how well it works with an older embedded GPU (Intel 965 Express), but I can't enable it (on Windows 10) because D3D11 compositing is disabled, it says D3D11_COMPOSITING: Blocklisted; fail

You made it sound like? Of course it is handled by the spec, the issue here is in ntpd not following the spec (assuming what the author says is true, I haven't checked). Or actually there is this little tidbit from RFC 5905: > Eras

Where did I disagree with the spec?

I know that it shouldn't, but the author said that it did in the blog post.

I believe the parent was referring to GP's experiences, not what happened to the diplomats. Indeed what GP describes sounds like a combination of Exploding Head Syndrome and Sleep Paralysis.

It is not really there in the ELF. It exists as a section . But sections are not used at runtime, they only exists for tools like debuggers etc. You can strip them from the binary with e.g. the sstrip[0] tool and it still works fine. What

It's not a lack of execute-only segment but of a read-only, no-execute segment I'm talking about. x86 has had support for that for exactly as long as it has supported no-execute, which the second LOAD segment is marked with (i.e.

The thing I'm wondering about with this is why ld by default creates only two LOAD segments, one r-x and one rw-. .text and .rodata are put into the former while .data is put into the latter. This is the only reason this works. So my q

How well does UDF perform for random-access read-write devices? It was my impression that it is optimized for read-often, write-rarely, possibly without possibility of overwriting.

Can you really ensure confidentiality without authenticity though? Seems like you inherently are susceptible to MITM attacks without authenticity. Are there examples of the former without the latter?

What do you mean? You obviously store the encrypted file together with the encrypted hash.
378.
by poizan42 9y ago
The correct order is hash then encrypt, exactly so you can't do that. Now I don't know if FileVault is doing this correctly, but hopefully it does. Edit: So two people have downvoted me without explanation. Is what I'm saying

The funny thing is that the real health issue of MSG is rarely mentioned - it makes unhealthy food taste better. It is not surprising that we have evolved to appreciate the taste of protein. However when we add something that imparts a stro

Yes, so according to PC World these extra "chips" are actually just spacers for mechanical stability: http://www.pcworld.com/article/3211409/computers/why-ryzen-t...

Presumably you want to reply to DNS requests for a hostname for your captive portal. You might try to just use a raw ip address, but then you can't use https. So then you have the problem that you can't just reply with a fake answ
