@llvm Guess where I'm holding a farewell party for myself? Yes, Don Giovanni! The request for quote queried who had told me about the restaurant, so I inserted your name. This time I'll be buying my own pork chop.

Having an oil industry makes you a target of United States imperialism.

Ditching fossil fuels is a national security and sovereignty imperative.

Why has Airbus been so successful when many European "sovereignty" initiatives have failed?

How Airbus took off - Works in Progress Magazine
Airbus is an example of successful industrial policy and the rare European company that is better than its American rival. Could its success be copied elsewhere?

How about kicking off a printer firmware upgrade with a PCL (printer command language) print job?

Featuring @ExplodingLemur
515: Script Boomers
Nick Kartsioukas joined us to talk about security in embedded systems. Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (**CVE**) is the primary database to check your software libraries, tools, and OSs: cve.org. Open Worldwide Application Security Project (**OWASP** , owasp.org) has information on how to improve security in all kinds of applications, including embedded application security. There are also cheatsheets, Nick particularly recommends Software Supply Chain Security - OWASP Cheat Sheet. Wait, what is **supply chain security**? Nick suggested a nice article on github.com: it is about your code and tools including firmware update, a common weak point in embedded device security. Want to try out some security work? There are capture the flag (CTF) challenges including the Microcorruption CTF (microcorruption.com) which is **embedded security** related. We also talked about the SANS Holiday Hack Challenge (also see Prior SANS Holiday Hack Challenges). * * * This episode is brought to you by RunSafe Security. Working with C or C++ in your embedded projects? RunSafe Security helps you build safer, more resilient devices with build-time SBOM generation, vulnerability identification, and patented code hardening. Their Load-time Function Randomization stops the exploit of memory-based attacks, something we all know is much needed. Learn more at RunSafeSecurity.com/embeddedfm. * * * Some other sites that have good information embedded security: * This World Of Ours by James Mickens is an easy read about threat modelling * Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is at cisa.gov and, among other things, they describe SBOMs in great detail * National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) also provides guidance: * Internet of Things (IoT) | NIST * NIST Cybersecurity for IoT Program * NIST SP800-213 IoT Device Cybersecurity Guidance for the Federal Government: Establishing IoT Device Cybersecurity Requirements * There is a group of universities and organizations doing research into embedded security: National Science Foundation Center for Hardware and Embedded Systems Security and Trust (CHEST). Descriptive overview and the site is nsfchest.org * European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) - Consumer IoT Security * Camera Ubiquiti configuration issue (what not to do) Finally, Nick mentioned Stop The Bleed which provides training on how you can control bleeding, a leading cause of death. They even have a podcast (and we know you like those). Elecia followed up with Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT). Call your local fire department and ask about training near you! Transcript

Since I'm moving overseas, I'm deciding which books to take along and which to give (or even throw) away. For example, I got rid of Mathew and Stones' _Beginning Linux Programming_, which is quite a helpful volume, just because Michael Kerrisk's _Linux Programming Interface_ is better.

About ethical farming of shrimp:

https://www.heise.de/en/background/Zahlen-bitte-440-billion-shrimp-per-year-as-global-food-11116824.html

The fact that shrimp eyestalks are customarily cut off in aquaculture is horrifying.
Zahlen, bitte! 440 billion shrimp per year as global food
Shrimp and crabs are among the most important seafood. Due to declining catches and increased demand, aquaculture is becoming increasingly important.

Über den Tierschutz von den Garnelen:

https://www.heise.de/hintergrund/Zahlen-bitte-440-Milliarden-Garnelen-pro-Jahr-als-Weltnahrung-11116263.html

Es ist furchtbar, dass die Augenstielen von den Garnelen herkommlich abgeschnitten werden.
Zahlen, bitte! 440 Milliarden Garnelen pro Jahr als Weltnahrung
Garnelen und Krabben gehören zu den wichtigsten Meeresfrüchten. Aufgrund von sinkenden Fangmengen und erhöhter Nachfrage wird die Zucht immer wichtiger.

My System76 PC will need a new power supply in Europe. They recommend a C13 power cord and 850W minimum PSU. Does anyone have a recommendation? I guess that a 240 V-capable supply should work fine here in the US, so perhaps I can swap it before I move?

Heute bekam mir das Stellenangebot in Berlin. Ich wohne gerade mal in Kalifornien, und brauche sehr eine Beratung. Wo kann mann eine möblierte Wohnung in Berlin finden? Mein neues Büro steht in Charlottenburg, neber dem Spree. Was sonst für Empfehlungen?

Der neue Startup von Pat Gelsinger finde ich plausibel. Mit FEL ist EUV reichbar. Vielleicht ein großer Laser, den separat entwickelt ist, wird Vorteile für Halbleiter-Beleuchtung ermöglichen.

Use SSH and GPG without a GUI, perhaps in containers:

## $(ssh-agent -s); ssh-add

## gpg -d --pinentry=loopback FILE

Checkout systemd-nspawn, the world's easiest container. Note that with containers, you can install more recent versions of SSH and GPG than the host has available.
