IAmPaigeAT··on Cryptome has shut down; at least until Assange had been freed
Quite , was just reading also yeah I’m right there with you. The point we are both probably missing is that John Young is old and for that reason if it’s not brilliant because it forces the government to take a very tyrannical position against a person who is literally probably on their way out, or very sad because the poor guy has lost his mind.

It’s possible he knows something about the audience of the content on his site, interesting to think that certain parts of our own government rely on its insights that they can’t otherwise get but can benefit from nonetheless.. really wouldn’t surprise me.

Cryptome is closing until Julian Assange is freed. For access to the archive: https://web.archive.org/web/20230819234538/https://cryptome....

IAmPaigeAT··on SICP in JavaScript
I don’t know if anyone has bothered to point this out but you could keep your schemey SICP and go clojurescript if you wanna run on JavaScript but then again you still have to contend with cycles and reverse polish
IAmPaigeAT··on The “faces of Amazon” ex-employee stories site has mysteriously vanished
That’s a good start gitlab or GitHub either way, drop a link here if you can

I don't totally hate Amazon myself, but I do believe this site had it's merit and I'd like to see it restored otherwise I have to assume the worst

IAmPaigeAT··on CL0P Ransomware Gang Exploits CVE-2023-34362 MOVEit Vulnerability
Any idea if this is related to the cnn article about the cyber attacks on the gov ?
IAmPaigeAT··on The Great CPU Stagnation
There’s actually 2, theres the intel lts one, which i guess they did do something it just never amounted to anything, explained here:

https://github.com/intel/linux-intel-lts/issues/33

The ongoing development:

IAmPaigeAT··on The Great CPU Stagnation
Ugh, you know it really wouldn’t be so bad if they would just go back to selling cpus like they're meant to be kept around for more than a year. The thing that has me really ticked off at Intel right now is the i915 sriov capabilities introduced in 11th gen which were meant to supersede GVT-G. I didn’t even know GVT-G was a thing until it was already gone. They didn’t even make a driver that supports 11th gen and 12th is apparently supported in some capacity but I’m not understanding it very well myself. I damn sure wouldn’t buy a 12th gen though if its a thing you think you might actually care about. If 11th gen is any example of how 12th will turn out, any development will be left up to one person who miraculously understands i915 well enough to develop for it, doing for free and doing a good job but not well enough to keep up with linus/linux~HEAD; needless to say if 11th gen support for i915 sriov does ever get merged the cheap low quality construction of the hardware will probably be starting to break down, seems like most of it is by the time you unbox it anyway these days :(
IAmPaigeAT··on The Unix process API is unreliable and unsafe (2021)
> unreliable and unsafe

Just like the information you’re providing if you can’t be bothered to setup an ssl certificate for a page

IAmPaigeAT··on Gigatron: An 8-bit CPU built from 34 74LS TTL logic chips
Yeah that is a really good series definitely recommend
IAmPaigeAT··on Gigatron: An 8-bit CPU built from 34 74LS TTL logic chips
First thing I wanted to know was whether or not it had made use of the 4 bit slice ALU (which imho would have been ok) but unsurprisingly this is one of “those” projects..

But yeah the alto became my new favorite even though it’s way before my time when I saw the cpu card for it, and I really see no reason to take exception to the 74181 other than it’s too complex— the whole ti 74xx series is complex in retrospective. Unless this is somebody with the means to substantiate lithography for many of the TI chips but not the 4bit slice alu, then I’m not really sure what their hang up is with it.

IAmPaigeAT··on On Bypassing eBPF Security Monitoring
I heard about some recent eBPF vulnerabilities and while I was looking at the kernel code for eBPF I noticed there was some relatively new IMA additions. It seems there’s quite a number of new security mechanisms that can be used with eBPF. Mostly the fact that they added IMA support just stood out to me and seems to say “you should definitely use it if you’re going to use eBPF.”

Of course IMA doesn’t really help much if it’s not used correctly

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/YtgQKHwPAVBSHjcY@kroah.com/T/

It is interesting to hear about the problems that eBPF has but it would be helpful to see more people talking about ways that you can minimize the problems or reasons why you can’t

EDIT

This is also kind of interesting

IAmPaigeAT··on Linux NILFS file system: automatic continuous snapshots
If the problem is anything like this:

https://www.reddit.com/r/btrfs/comments/fcntc6/qcow2_on_btrf...

You can either make a sub volume and mount it with nocow or set the +C file attribute to disable CoW:

Doesn’t really look like nilfs2 has this kind of flexibility, though

IAmPaigeAT··on Linux NILFS file system: automatic continuous snapshots
If it’s not perhaps it should be, I’ve been using it for about 10 years without any problems that I didn’t cause for myself.
IAmPaigeAT··on Linux NILFS file system: automatic continuous snapshots
I’ve used it for about 10 years without consequence; except for problems I had once with enabling experimental options in the kernel module (custom build.) I have used BTRFS exclusively and extensively in terms of what you can do with it since realizing it that many years ago. The only thing I haven’t used is its native RAID support. I think 0 and 1 are fine but I’m not sure about 5/6; parity was still experimental last I checked in 2016 maybe it’s reliable now. Everything else though; compression, snapshots, copy on write, online defrag has all been fine. It is the default for SuSE Leap and Tumbleweed, they use it for snapper (OS snapshots) and BTRFS sub volumes are also supported by Docker for container images and containers. It saves a lot of space when images start to add up.
