cordite··on Rehex – Reverse Engineers' Hex Editor
This would have been so useful when learning ASN.1..
cordite··on RansomEXX Trojan attacks Linux systems
Mbedtls is small code size configurable build library. I am not surprised they’re using it, it embeds with applications or firmwares easily and has a decent API. Which cannot be said for openssl.
cordite··on Why Dark didn't choose Rust
A follow up to this is what they did choose: F#

cordite··on How HN crushed David Walsh's blog
The existing load times are unacceptable as is. Of course that'll fall apart under load.
cordite··on First Bitcoin “mixer” penalized for violating anti-money laundering laws
I heard about people justifying these. Something about privacy.

Everything just feels so twisted in perceptions tied to cryptocurrency.

cordite··on Atlassian moving to cloud-only, will stop selling server licenses
JetBrains has some neat alternative products. I host YouTrack locally and it’s been helpful
cordite··on Nvidia Uses AI to Slash Bandwidth on Video Calls
This sounds a lot like the movie Surrogates, where at one point the protagonist notices the badge of a android surrogate is completely different from the human behind the surrogate (as printed on the badge).
cordite··on Users may be unable to connect or experiencing degraded performance

What does OT stand for?

In the link, OT is aliased to "Operational Transformations"

Isn’t that the UK’s line
cordite··on FinCEN Files: HSBC moved Ponzi scheme millions despite warning
What are the ramifications of this? That they can be fired by saying the company is doing bad?
cordite··on Java Turns 25 – Whats Next? [pdf]
You'll find many good resources on https://www.baeldung.com/ it regularly comes up in search results and pages appear maintained and for modern versions of libraries.

Downtime procedures are definitely a thing in the US. Known downtime is certainly the best time to prepare and practice, this happens when an EMR goes through an upgrade and migrations are run. This can be 6-24 hours.

There are bundled minor upgrades (think service packs) that have short (10-60 minute) downtimes, blocking migrations run in that time but are kept to a minimum. If it is at all possible, migrations will be async (even on major upgrades) and run in the background after the new version goes live.

During downtime, bloodwork and the like involve pre-allocated barcode labels. Either the results will be accessible on the instrument afterwards in its memory, or the results will be printed out and it is up to the lab tech to transcribe the results.

I can't speak in depth for radiology, but I expect that they have file share servers involved for the raw results. Likely less local memory (in number of results that can be stored) than clinical lab instruments.

That “and so much more” block on the end is such an SEO grab.. you can open RSA and ECDSA keys? So can vi.
cordite··on Half of All False Convictions in US Involved Police or Prosecutor Misconduct
This sounds like debugging with printfs.
cordite··on OpenSSL Raccoon Attack (CVE-2020-1968)
Can't seem to find the original source I read that on.

But here's something that mentions semi-static 0 round trip session setup

as well as what goes wrong when you do reuse things

cordite··on OpenSSL Raccoon Attack (CVE-2020-1968)
Don't some IoT devices use static parameters?

Like while claiming an ephemeral ECDH key, it is actually only generated once when the device is provisioned? (Or worse, the same on every device of that series)

cordite··on Arm Announces Cortex-R82: First 64-Bit Real Time Processor
Is this just a native way to prevent interrupts on specific cores?
cordite··on GnuPG 2.2.23
I recall hearing github is planning on Sha-256 some time
cordite··on Yml Coding
How about we use resumable lua scripting
cordite··on WebBundles are built for content-addressable networks
The repo [1] appears silent for a few months. Is this being actively developed inside the google org, or is this just an experiment left abandon?

yubikey only came out with that this year.

Unfortunately they don't do firmware upgrades, so one of mine can only do rsa.

cordite··on ReMarkable 2.0 – A digital notebook that feels like paper
I personally get the PDFs, sometimes links work.

PDFs are also a bit friendly for annotation, at least in my experience with GoodReader on the ipad.

cordite··on ReMarkable 2.0 – A digital notebook that feels like paper
Not sure about normal ebooks, but it's been a fantastic tool for getting through IETF RFCs.

No distractions, easy on the eyes. Would be nice if the contrast were even better for low light environments. Maybe this 2.0 would do it.

I seem to have lost my pen though, so I'm not sure what I'll do for any annotation now.

cordite··on Rust 1.46
That's fantastic!

That could be a real hard-to-source build stall.

Curve25519 seems to be only available on one specific model, and not even the most expensive one. What's up with that?
cordite··on Rust 1.46
These const fn’s are cool, but won’t this also lead to long compile times down the road?
cordite··on Arwes – Futuristic Sci-Fi / Cyberpunk Graphical User Interface Framework
This really yanks at the human-to-computer latency. These transitions are incredibly long. Though the execution is delightful.

It's better than Deus Ex 2.

cordite··on A Chrome feature is creating load on global root DNS servers
I've been using google DNS, and cloudflare DNS (as of late) since I found out about this ISP behavior.

It's unacceptable, it's unhelpful, and I see it as a vector for getting untrustworthy software on less savy users hardware.

I haven't considered this since the days of Nintendo DS picto chat.
