Google's SwitchTo kernel patches are similar to what you describe: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200722234538.166697-1-posk@po...

lima··on EUCLEAK Side-Channel Attack on the YubiKey 5 Series
Could just steal the key at that point.
lima··on EUCLEAK Side-Channel Attack on the YubiKey 5 Series
Only if the key is generated off-key
lima··on Show HN: Hestus – AI Copilot for CAD
The hard part is not backing yourself into a corner with the feature tree over time. Takes a lot of practice to avoid, and that's something AI could help with. Meanwhile, what their demo does is trivial.
lima··on Show HN: Hestus – AI Copilot for CAD
Agreed, sync modelling in Solid Edge and NX can be really powerful, especially when requirements change unexpectedly.
lima··on City of Columbus sues expert who exposed extent of cyberattack
This is data that criminals already publicly released.
lima··on Arrest of Pavel Durov, Telegram CEO, charges of terrorism, fraud, child porn
Intent matters.
lima··on Garage: Open-Source Distributed Object Storage
Thank you for this, I learned a lot from this comment.
lima··on Garage: Open-Source Distributed Object Storage
The RADOS K/V store is pretty close. Ceph is built on top of it but you can also use it as a standalone database.
lima··on CrowdStrike Update: Windows Bluescreen and Boot Loops
Lots and lots of heavy machinery uses Windows computers even for local control panels.
lima··on Waymo One is now open to everyone in San Francisco
The problem is the long tail. Neural networks are not great at handling edge cases and it's not clear whether they will ever be.
lima··on DJI ban passes the House and moves on to the Senate
What about consumer apps in Local Data Mode?
lima··on New GitHub Organization for the Swift Project
GitHub org permissions aren't very granular, especially with an org that is tied to enterprise SSO. Makes it hard to grant certain permission to outside members.
lima··on We improved the performance of a userspace TCP stack in Go
OpenVZ, Virtuozzo and friends definitely weren't secure the way gVisor or Firecracker are. You can still do that and some providers do, doesn't make it a good idea.
lima··on Simplicity – Google SRE Handbook (2017)
The funny thing with k8s is that Google doesn't use it (except GKE, and there's a reason it's one cluster per customer).

Their internal tooling scales just fine, but all it shares with k8s is some of the underlying concepts. Unlike, say, Bazel, gVisor or Gerrit, which are the real thing (minus some secret sauce tied to internal infra). k8s is good software, and best-in-class when it comes to open source options, but the idea that it is "open source Borg" is silly.

lima··on Sharing details on a recent incident impacting one of our customers
As a customer of Equinix Cloud... No thank you. Infrastructure vendors are terrible software engineers.
lima··on 'Right to roam' movement fights to give the commons back to the public
And in hammocks! They don't touch the ground and therefore don't count.
lima··on Alacritty – A fast, cross-platform, OpenGL terminal emulator
Much of kitty is written in C, particularly the (very fast) rendering pipeline.
lima··on YARA is dead, long live YARA-X
The risk with such rewrites is ending up with a Python 3 situation and an ecosystem split. Sounds like YARA-X is (mostly) a stricter subset of YARA, and it's easy to write rules that are valid for both:

https://virustotal.github.io/yara-x/docs/writing_rules/diffe...

Although I wonder how long it'll stay that way? It'll be very tempting to add new features to YARA-X that won't be backported to YARA.

lima··on YARA is dead, long live YARA-X
Yara is pretty much the industry standard for detection rules now.
lima··on PyPI package backdoors Macs using the Sliver pen-testing suite
Highly targeted attack on a specific machine. Probably not a threat actor but a red team or some other security researcher.
lima··on Scaling to Count Billions
Use Clickhouse - it's specifically built for this use case (low latency OLAP).
lima··on The Internet Archive's last-ditch effort to save itself
It archives a much smaller part of the internet, it't not an IA replacement.
lima··on Passkeys: A shattered dream
Why would the U2F-on-Ledger route stop working?
lima··on Is it okay to daisy chain a UPS?
By calling them
lima··on Monogon: A Linux userland in pure Go
Talos appears to rely on existing components to a somewhat greater degree in comparison: https://github.com/siderolabs/pkgs
lima··on Engineer bought prison laptop and 1,200 incarcerated folks lost their devices
There aren't even any poor security practices. It's just security theatre and the DOC is overreacting.
lima··on Use KeePassXC to sign your Git commits
Not in terms of specific threat model.
lima··on Your GitHub pull request workflow is slowing everyone down
Phabricator is what we used before we migrated to Gerrit. The review UI was very nice, the issue tracker is still best-in-class, but Arcanist was a menace. Much prefer a simple "git push" over that client-side PHP contraption :-)

Are there plans for Gerrit interop with Jujutsu?

lima··on Hidden GitHub commits and how to reveal them
There isn't, you need to contact them so they can delete the offending objects.
