It really isn't. I mean, at a very basic addressing level, sure, IPv4 addresses and IPv6 addresses are just a sequence of octets. But at a network infrastructure level they are quite different, and IPv6 is (conceptually) designed f

> the term 'query' is already used to refer to http requests in general In what circles is this the case? I sometimes colloquially refer to a GET request as a query, but definitely not so on a POST, PUT or DELETE.

Thread is also IP(v6)-based. But in this context, Thread would go a fair ways toward solving stavros's concern, as it means security could be enforced on the Border Router(s), rather than each individual device.

It's a loadable module: CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_AEAD=m Using bpftrace to watch calls to module_request, openat, etc., it looks like when the kernel calls modprobe, it doesn't even look at the disable-algif.conf file:

Weirdly, the mitigation does not seem to work under WSL2 (at least in Ubuntu 24.04). Linux wsl2 6.6.87.2-microsoft-standard-WSL2 ... `modprobe algif_aead` errors out, but if I run the POC, it succeeds. Outside of WSL2, the mitiga

Pebble Time 2 has a compass sensor and HRM. https://ericmigi.com/blog/pebble-time-2-design-reveal#final-... Unless you specifically are after a barometer, in which case I don't think the PT2 has that.

I think most of the battery life improvement is the much more power-efficient SOCs available. The original Pebble used an STM32 processor and a TI Bluetooth chip, where nowadays having BLE integrated into the SOC is table stakes.

Did you get it in black like I did? My buttons also cracked practically right away (within a day), I suspect because the reinforcements were installed poorly (the buttons are VERY hard to press). It made the down button unusable. But kudos

The way I interpreted that point is basically "if you don't think the tool/language/library you're using sucks in some way, you're not using it enough". As in, "opinionated" here doesn't mea

MicroPython isn't really an alternative implementation of Python so much as it is an embedded scripting language that looks pretty much identical to normal Python.

williamvds's point is that the first argument to printf is still itself a null-terminated string, so it's basically turtles all the way down if you're using the C standard library.

Not quite, at least not necessarily. One feature of FTDI chips is an EEPROM that can be used to customize the enabled features, enumeration strings, and other things. That programming could probably be done in a separate jig, or in-circuit.

Not to mention some IOT devices or cellular routers/devices might force a longer minimum cache TTL, to "minimize data usage". I worked on a device that did so (minimum pdnsd cache time of 25 hours). It ended up causing failur
