It's a straight line from Jesusonic to Reaper: Jesusonic JSFX script is in Reaper, and there's a whole selection of stock JS plugins that come with it and it's actually quite easy to program.

It is, of course, only a matter of time - just like kernel-level copy protection and Sony's XCP - before something like Vanguard in particular is exploited and abused by malware. Himata is correct, too. After DMA-based stuff, it'l

Well, it's less of a technology problem than it is an industry one. You can have multiple entries in the genre list and they're freeform, for example Ambient;Electronic, in both ID3v2.3 and ID3v2.4. For Vorbis Comments, you have m

I do a similar thing — also with AHK! — and I don’t intend to stop. I think probably the AI/LLM bubble will pop before I consider changing my habits there. Tip: Patterns like “It’s not just X, it’s Y” are a more telltale sign of LLM sl

All kinds of self-published stuff, lots of which later became commercial. You will have heard of some of it, for sure . Darude - Sandstorm? That was from there. DragonForce were big in the power metal category. The band that became Linki

Basically all of my friends use it. I insist. I trust it; I don't trust WhatsApp (not because WA's crypto is weak, just because I don't trust who runs it now).

I mean, that brute-forceability was a reason for the newer v3 addresses; the v2 ones just weren't long enough. (As told to me by Alec, they bruteforced the first bit, but found a very coincidentally attractive one for a backronym among

Oh yeah, no, that's ridiculous. I'm moving.

You didn't even need Caetla. You could do that straight-up with the original ROMs for some of the cartridge series (FCD), and X-Link from DOS (or, if you were prepared to get involved with a bit of spicy linux 2.3, bitbang the parallel

They're all actually AI powered, generally some form of real-time RNN trained on identifying and isolating voice content from background noise or music. rnnoise2 is an open-source model that does very well. There also are things like W

My memory there is a bit fuzzy, but saying there was no official Mozilla web browser feels misleading. The Mozilla Suite (which I used for a while even in the 'milestone' versions) contained a fully functional web browser, Navig

If they were restricting controllers from the start, that would be one thing, and controller exclusivity is something every console manufacturer right back to Atari has always thought about from the very beginning - mostly for cash-grab r

Yeep. That is not entirely unsurprising (it’s such a common flaw in basic section/chunk formats that they obviously didn’t research about even the possibility of security flaws, or consider there to be any threat model at all — it wa

That was Digital Research’s GEM, which Atari had licenced for the GUI of TOS (they threw it together quite quickly). There was a whole thing about GEM and inspiration from Xerox PARC and Apple; that’s largely the reason why the Atari versio

It was never unusual for cypherpunks to use nyms. Amongst the many ideological and practical reasons, for example worries about if authorities would treat a creation and its creator hostilely — it separates the creator from the creation and

There's probably also the issue that there is no _one_ 5GHz band. Suddenly you have to deal with DFS radar detection, and different regulatory compliance domains. It now matters which country you're selling to, or which firmware t

The concept happened way before that too. Even though the Atari ST and Commodore Amiga had different floppy disk formats (and were bitter rivals), because they shared their main processor (MC68000) a great deal of games and software were av

Use WPA3-Enterprise (you can use Let's Encrypt to get a valid certificate so it works fine in a home environment). Don't use SAE (which is, indeed, an instantiation of Dragonfly). I have a strong suspicion that the way it is used,

It does indeed seem to be DRAGONFLY (I'd heard rumours indicating such in advance): a surprising choice for an interactive protocol with attacker-observable timings, I felt, given its already chequered reputation? I couldn't p

Not immediately, but I feel that as those protocols become more ubiquitous, _maybe_ the base Tor transport protocol (for nodes which aren't bridges) might be able to benefit from some of the same upgrades by using them? I don't kn

They ported the PICO-8 version line by line to C#. Since there aren't that many lines, apparently it wasn't that hard.

Yes. This kind of technique, and the exploitation of minor CPU errata, can be used to help differentiate processor models and steppings. That in turn allows a currently widespread DRM system to download personalised portions of object code

Thank you for respecting that. I believe you understand. I have to say I'm completely unsurprised at your follow-up result - I've always held that view myself. Code style isn't just about variable names and brace placement, i

Two points here, about both the advice and the people giving it. Regarding the advice, personally I think the advice is bogus. A lot of Mastodon instances have started legitimately using unconventional newTLDs. And I seem to see more URI sh

And indeed (from my skim-read, and please bearing in mind that I know very little about quantum computing) the paper seems to combine that same Grover's algorithm used to speed up just about any brute-force search with ECM, to find s

But what of the equities issue - what to do with that knowledge, once discovered? Might it depend on who "we" are? My point is that actually helping this particular vendor, for example, may not be everyone's cup of tea.

One comment I'll make because it's kind of buried in the first paragraph and not really called out: this project is one of the very early adopters of Trevor Perrin's state-of-the-art Noise protocol framework design https:&#x

Agreed. Hiring someone specifically to try to do an aggressive, audit hatchet-job on special, star customers that had spent six figures on golden tickets with them doesn't make this story read very sympathetically for American Airlines
