Please stop shining the light in HN's blind spot; it doesn't like it when you do that.

Not really; link training and initialization for PCIe devices is really complex. A lot of motherboard bootware, even from reputable vendors, tends to handle obscure conditions by simply rebooting or locking up. I wouldn't be surprised

This model clearly makes a much better search engine than google/kagi/bing/etc. I've been searching for an obscure connector -- the 8-pin connector you'd find on the cable that delivers power to a GPU, but in a form

When you have the baseband source code, you can remove the part that allows the host to read the EEPROM MAC address. Replace it with a random number generated on each request. Then you don't have to care what some daemon does with tha

This is why you use ath9k hardware, folks. You get the source code that implements the MAC and management layers so you can see exactly what they are doing.

Because they can. They are one of the CVE gods, so they can veto issuance of CVEs against their products. That kind of power means you can move as slowly as you please.

Layer 4 is the lowest layer of the OSI model that isn't packet-based (i.e. can handle messages of arbitrary size). IMHO that's the highest layer of the OSI model that is useful. After that it's various ways of tunnelling str

by KirillPanov 3y ago
Yeah; as somebody who was taught the OSI model at university, they basically straight up told us to ignore the OSI model above layer 4, and to treat the remaining stuff as a starting point rather than the whole story. So criticizing layers

"All models are wrong, some are useful". People refer to the OSI model because it's useful, and can be explained in about 1/30th of the text needed to produce this rant. Why not propose an equally-concise yet more usefu

The bloaty key/signature size is only a problem with the PQ encryption systems. For signing only there are much more efficient PQ cryptosystems, with signatures around the same size as ECC. If DNSSEC ever adopts PQC it will be on

Could we have a more useful title please? The article contains the text "SiFive has instigated a large number of layoffs." I suggest that as a vastly more useful title than "gosh golly something happened".
