I debug stuff.

deeebug··on Why stdx is not on crates.io
Looks like it's that, plus vibe coding (in areas like crypto!) - https://kerkour.com/stdx
deeebug··on 'No way to prevent this,' says only package manager where this regularly happens
They have build.rs (https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/build-scripts.html)
deeebug··on Leaving GitHub for Forgejo
As someone who uses gitea, honestly it’s because I set it up a while ago and foregjo hasn’t offered anything compelling to force a switch, nor has gitea “enshittified” like the concerns around the fork raised.

Honestly, stay where you are

deeebug··on MinIO Is Dead, Long Live MinIO
Do note rustfs has had a...questionable...security posture. See https://github.com/rustfs/rustfs/security/advisories/GHSA-h9... as a good example (hardcoded static token).
deeebug··on MinIO is now in maintenance-mode
> So if the minio maintainers (or anybody that forks the project and wants to work it) can fix any security issues that may occur I don't see any problems with using it.

The concerning language for me is this part that was added:

> Critical security fixes may be evaluated on a case-by-case basis

It seems to imply that any fixes _may_ be merged in, but there's no guarantees.

deeebug··on We survived 10k requests/second: Switching to signed asset URLs in an emergency
> That aside, I’m confused about the 250ms thing. You don’t have to hit a Google API to construct a signed URL. It should just be a signature calculation done locally in your server. [0]

I assume the additional latency is the initial cred fetch from the VM Metadata Service to perform that sign, no?

deeebug··on AWS Code Commit Ceased Onboarding New Customers
Slight correction, the sales org uses GitLab, mainly to segregate any “code” they build for customers. Internal AWS/Amazon teams use an internal git-backed UI.
deeebug··on Uniqlo's Automated Self-Checkout
> I believe they had intentions of selling this tech to other stores but it never really took off (maybe uniqulo is using it?)

They did, it's called "Just Walk Out" - https://www.justwalkout.com/ and https://aws.amazon.com/just-walk-out/ . I've seen it a bunch at airports, and occasional random city locations.

deeebug··on Why TSA's Implementation of Facial Recognition Is More Dangerous Than You Think
As an opposite point - the airports I've been to have been pretty easy to opt-out, though they usually have snippy comments about "saying it up front".

That being said, did your airport not have signs talking about the pilot, and it being optional? I would of pointed to that if I was told no.

deeebug··on The Rise and (Eventual) Fall of the SIM Card
> Why can’t T-Mobile issue me a free “advertising” eSIM that doesn’t actually provide service (or provides a ridiculously small amount)

Not sure if you’ve checked, but they actually do. On the iOS, I downloaded the TMobile app and was given the ability for a trial eSIM.

deeebug··on Elasticsearch SQL
Unsure if it was added recently, but Splunk Query Language does have VAL IN (1,2,3) now -> https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.0.1/SearchRef...
deeebug··on Codecov Bash Uploader compromised
This looks to be that version: https://github.com/ehmicky/dev-tasks/blob/1f6cd2a9c7bc2146b7...

Though this was uploaded before April 1, and it doesn't appear to have any malicious code.

deeebug··on 1.1.1.1: Fast, privacy-first consumer DNS service
What’s your threat model? The latency you’re going to introduce with TOR will make everyday browsing slow
deeebug··on Tinc VPN: Secure Private Network Between Hosts
Just because the protocol has a formal set of proofs, doesn't mean it's production ready. The very fact that the only releases are snapshots and not eligible for CVE's makes me weary of utilizing this in a non-testing environment.
deeebug··on Hack the Kernel – Learn about operating systems online
University at Buffalo, SUNY. The person that teaches the course (who is the lectuerer) is Geoffrey Challen (https://blue.cse.buffalo.edu/people/gwa/)

Source: I took this class last semester (Spring 2016)

deeebug··on How I'd teach computer science
This doesn't sound like a Computer Science course. Maybe for something like a Software Engineering degree, but not for CS.
deeebug··on Show HN: Meet me, I'll buy you coffee
"FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL" doesn't do any validation. That only filters.
deeebug··on Ask HN: Where do you register your domains?
Yup, they include a free SSL cert for 1 year on all domain purchases
deeebug··on What.cd's Gazelle on GitHub
Actually they check the $_GET['id'] variable, which is used to set the $UserId variable. Check the top of the source:

if (empty($_GET['id']) || !is_numeric($_GET['id']) || (!empty($_GET['preview']) && !is_numeric($_GET['preview']))) {
