I am probably old fashioned, but running into an open source commandline tool written in C that "requires" meson and ninja to build, in order to accomplish the equivalent of...

$ gcc -o tool main.c -lone -ltwo

...seems like maybe just a bit of overkill to me.

My favorite security story I've read this year 😂, a story of surprising turns by Alex Smolen: engseclabs.com/blog/raccoon...
Backyard APT: A Raccoon Story
Raccoons are both advanced and persistent threats. After one attacked my chihuahua Jolene, I declared war on my backyard invaders. Through ultrasonic deterrents, motion-activated sprinklers, and wacky...

The Linux kernel has patched a bug in the RDSEED entropy generator that caused AMD Zen5 chips to fail to produce random numbers.

The patch disables RDSEED and forces all AMD Zen5 processors to use RDRAND for generating random numbers.

Today I needed a bit of code, but instead of asking an LLM I tried writing it myself and wow, this could be a new paradigm

One the craziest elements about cybersecurity is you have half the industry sat worrying about cyberwar!1! and going on about quantum and AI, then you have you have the operational reality of what is actually happening on the ground - it bares no resemblance, at all, to what people are focused on.

I'm watching my nanny's dog this weekend. So far Flower has gotten up to some very unsafe things.
Black and tan dachshund with long fur intently watching a stainless steel pot with flames rising from the cooking oil inside, positioned on a lit gas stove in a kitchen setting. Long-haired dachshund with black and tan coat looking attentively at a chocolate bar placed on a wooden table in front of it. The dog's paws rest on the edge of the table in a home interior setting. Small black and tan dachshund standing on top of a step ladder, holding a kitchen knife in its paw. The dog is positioned near wooden stairs in a home interior with a ceiling light fixture visible above.

Today is the 47th anniversary of this clearly unimprovable photo, from a story so absurd that it shouldn’t be true, but is: the day a team of workers from British Waterways pulled the plug out of the Chesterfield Canal, and all the water emptied out
A man with a spectacular 1970s mullet, wearing big wellies and a v-neck jumper over a T-shirt, looks at camera as he stands on a boat which is itself standing on the muddy bottom of an empty canal. He is holding up an enormous wooden plug on a long chunky chain

For CI reasons (speed), I wrote a FUSE filesystem to act like the $GOMODCACHE directory to make it look like all world's #golang modules are available locally on disk without having to download them.

Then the FS downloads them if/as needed, storing them in git trees/blobs (no commits) for de-dup.

One of my students sent me the latest quantum factorization record, and I have to admit: I’m shook. eprint.iacr.org/2025/1237
Replication of Quantum Factorisation Records with an 8-bit Home Computer, an Abacus, and a Dog
This paper presents implementations that match and, where possible, exceed current quantum factorisation records using a VIC-20 8-bit home computer from 1981, an abacus, and a dog. We hope that this ...

I am officially one of The Ancients, Keeper of Knowledge of the Before Time
Post to the subreddit r/AskHistorians: What was navigation like for vehicle drivers in the United States before the internet and GPS? Before GPS devices and smartphones/cellular internet networks were a thing (Garmin company was founded 1989), millions of Americans were already getting around driving without the use of those inventions. How did they navigate? Did everyone need stacks of maps? Were drivers frequently lost? Did everyone have to understand the interstate system and use intuition to guide them? How burdensome was driving before GPS? Did drivers pay people to calculate an optimal route for them?

Time for an update! Over the past 9 days, I was driving across the entire US with my housemate and her dog, as the final stage of the move-in process. Next up, I'm planning to revisit Birgenair flight 301—that's the crash caused by wasps—while continuing to translate the Pulkovo 612 report. 1/3

This weekend I realized my daughter needed a particular sand toy for her kinetic sand standing sandbox.

I described it to ChatGPT, o3 thought about it for a minute and gave me the requested OpenSCAD and I hit print.

45 min later we had the part in the sandbox.
