My own router has it's problems too, like blocking ICMP traffic to IPv6 hosts by default and not properly supporting the privacy extensions (each address creates a new entry in the routers host list)

I'm using Trezor, I believe it has been preloaded with certain websites so it knows Github and Google and the likes. It also shows parts of the public key (or so I believe, it is a unique identifier) per website.

Atleast for my u2f token, I'm being shown the site I'm signing for on a hardware screen.

Then you should be using the toolbox for metalwork when trying to weld two steel plates instead of using the one for woodwork.

I've tried to get into Rust but I've found the syntax alone to be impenetrable despite reading through several guides multiple times. If Rust was less complicated I might consider it.

The Geth client is still widely used as it's kind off the standard implementation of the Ethereum EVM and Node Mechanics. The Go based client isn't that much "older" either, both are actively developed and received some

There are plenty of alternative tools for Ethereum, including alternative languages. I was merely pointing out that nobody is being stopped from improving the situation, if it was as bad as some portrait it.

The EVM might be turing-complete but since you can only get finite number of execution cycles, you can usually determine the behaviour of your program or if it halts within the current gas limits.

Write your own tools. The EVM, which is what executes contracts, has a public spec. It's a bytecode machine and writing a compiler for it should be rather trivial compared to x86. There are also several other languages you can code in

Quite interesting. I do recommend anyone to also check out Swarm, similar but built entirely on top of Ethereum. http://swarm-gateways.net/bzz:/theswarm.eth/swarm
461.
by tscs37 9y ago
Yes. The VM has a public specification and you can implement your own compilers for it. On the blockchain, the VM only cares about the bytecodes you submit, not the code itself.

I've definitely "grok'ed" it. Which is why I find Swarm a better solution. It is literally IPFS+Ethereum with additional support for ENS lookups, deniable storage, redundant storage, etc. This allows for far better priva

There is no incentive to keep data in the network. You can pay pinning services, but what's the point if you're just going to pay someone hosting it? I'd rather have this archived on Siacoin, Storj, Swarm or any other distrib

SNI will still be necessary for when you have multiple servers under one IP (until IPv4 is deprecated, this is necessary), for example on a shared host (which might even have shared IPs under IPv6). IIRC there are some ways SNI will be encr

Your logic is sadly incorrect. During a RAID6 rebuild, a URE is non-critical as the Array can recover the data with one lost disk an a URE on any other disk during the stripe rebuild. The only critical error would be a URE on two disk on th

Reducing the cost of a custom system isn't irrational. My own personal budget is very limited, buying two IronWolf HDDs in this case is easily a good chunk of my monthly income. If I can build a NAS that can expand with single drives a

Monocultures of any kind in software aren't good. It leads to lock-ins, like the current kernel is locked into GCC. Some of those GCC Extensions used are effectively proprietary because "the code is the documentation" so nobo

The URE rate is most likely much lower. However, the chance of failure for a RAID6 of 100x10TB disks is less than 0.482% after 1'000'000 rebuilds. RAID1 is space-inefficient, a 100x10TB RAID array might never fail but it has only

Knowing your data has rotted doesn't bring it back.

Adding 3 drives at a time is expensive and a non-option for a home NAS. As is "just copy it to a new server". Both have high investment costs for something a plain mdRAID, snapRAID or LVM RAID can achieve far simpler with better r

Mirrors are also less safe. [0] For a 6x8TB and assuming a (optimistic) 10^-16 URE, you get 3.5% failure rate for a RAID5 array, 0.7% for a RAID10 array and a 1.06e-08% failure rate for RAID 6. Why be greedy for all that performance? Most h

Home users would rather just add a single drive instead of having to worry about adding entire RAID setups.

Not quite. When you write an exploit for a normal operating system application, you can't, for example, just write your payload into data memory and start executing it. You can't jump to the address of an array and have the CPU ex

1) You are still on a Ring 0. On a normal operating system, an exploited app has a limited action range, depending on the system settings. A lot of exploits simply do not work because the operating system kills the process. On Ring 0, eve

1) You are in Ring 0 . There is no defense unless you reimplement a normal Kernel to run a process in Ring 3 along with the monitoring process and capabilities management... etc 2) No, the attacker is most likely there because of some bu
