I also think that many allocators nowadays can use mmap besides brk.

Probably AI generated. But, what bars are clearly off? I couldn't spot any.

I don’t think it would have been possible for the last 12 years. But should be possible now . Only the 2021 spec for usb pd supports 36v (common bike battery voltage) and more than 100W delivery. My bosch ebike charges at 36v 4A. I also th

But form factor and energy efficiency may be helped by some of the changes that producers are doing. Why complain about those, then? Diy is still possible. Looks like nas is becoming more specialized.

Looks like a bad offsite handling, both in your case and linked article. I feel that offsites work best when you let people interact on their own schedule, pace and topics. Trying to force hands via a lot of activities can kind of backfire.

What's the risk of NOT doing this? That's the problem. That's the risk that few (if any) hyperscalers want to take.

But this is Rust, not safe Rust, right? So, you still have a lot of ways to shoot yourself in the foot. Of course, the C -> unsafe Rust -> safe Rust is more likely to happen than just going straight to (mostly) safe Rust (I doubt a 10

> How good are you at writing assembly? This is a false equivalence. A compiler is a predictable, testable, deterministic piece of software. An LLM is not. Sure, all abstractions leak; so, at some point in time, for some reason, you may

Looks like they'd like something git repositories (maybe with transparent compression on top) rather than .tar.gz files. Just pull the latest head and you're done.

And? Did I claim something different? I just didn’t use that feature on other OSes.

Well... I'm not sure what the author really wants to say. mmap is available in many languages (e.g. Python) on Linux (and many other *nix I suppose). C provides you with raw memory access, so using mmap is sort-of-convenient for this u

You are right. I linked a differently formatted article with the same content. I don’t know why I didn’t initially notice such text.

I’ll answer to myself: an RCE is very unlikely on any modern platform. DoS is possible. “ Impact summary: A stack buffer overflow may lead to a crash, causing Denial of Service, or potentially remote code execution.” From: https:/&#x2

Is this really exploitable? Is stack smashing really still a thing on any modern platform?

…and they did really guess an ipv6 address? Full scans of the ipv6 address space looks infeasible. Or did the sbc reach out to the internet thus having its address exposed? Otherwise just the huge amount of addresses should make ipv6 “more

I think this should become harder to do in general, not just for copyright infringement. A third party alleges an infringement, they do little work since it's AI generated, and then you need to do TONS of work to fix their s*t. THAT ne

One thing the article doesn’t mention is that a lot of certs are revoked for purely admin reasons. CeasedOperations seems to be the case for Flair - nothing bad happened to the key, but the cert was revoked nevertheless. This seems to be a
