dreamer_soul··on SGX.Fail: How Stuff Gets EXposed
Intel's Software Guard Extension (SGX) promises an isolated execution environment, protected from all software running on the machine. In the past few years, however, SGX has come under heavy fire, threatened by numerous side channel attacks. With Intel repeatedly patching SGX to regain security, we set out to explore the effectiveness of SGX's update mechanisms to prevent attacks on real-world deployments.

dreamer_soul··on Google Play Music will begin shutting down in September
Yes it does!
dreamer_soul··on GitHub isn't fun anymore
To be honest, a few years ago I used the trending page to discover useful web tools. Du to my lack of experience the trending page offered a glimpse of what people were working on/with (I used to read the code to learn new techniques) but now I old go there to check on my open source project and answer issues. So I can get the author saying it's not fun anymore, however I find hacker news the new fun place to go to learn and enjoy my time.

dreamer_soul··on Grafana 7.0

dreamer_soul··on OpenCore: Hackintosh Alternative to Clover
I just got a workstation grade Dell machine t7610 to be exact spent more than a week trying to hackentosh it but couldn't for some reason I always got some obscure error and none of the fixes worked. Found someone at GitHub with a similar machine but different graphics card and still couldn't make it work. But that got me thinking maybe there is a place for a tool where you feed it your hardware and it generates the most optimal configuration and image

dreamer_soul··on When will Google shut down Stadia?
I'm still bitter about them closing Google trips
dreamer_soul··on GitHub for Mobile
I was invited by the dev to test v5 but for some reason he got busy with work and slowed the development down.
dreamer_soul··on Running GitHub on Rails 6.0
I use .net core by day and rails by night (side business) and I can honestly say .net core MVC is kind of influenced by rails (not a lot but like 30%). After more than a year using both I found more joy with rails.

I find Rails gems and ecosystem to be more mature also ORM is friendlier since I felt more comfortable using active model than EF

All of the above could be a personal preference since I worked on rails for a longer time. At the end of the day I got to an end product with both

However I use .net core with MSSQL and on a Windows machine.

dreamer_soul··on Climate Concerns Are Pushing Oil Majors to Look Beyond Fossil Fuels
I work at KOC (Kuwait Oil Company) which is like one of the biggest producers of oil second to Saudi aramco in the region! Recently the whole oil sector in Kuwait is pushing an strategy where most of the electricity consumed by all the oil companies in the country is going to come from solar. But the cynic in me thinks that it has more to do with cost and adhering to worldwide standards than environmental reasons

Please note that this is personal opinion

dreamer_soul··on Portable Text – JSON rich text specification for content editing platforms
Maybe parsers would have a better way of parsing that into a sensible datatype for example look at Gson where you map a json to a Java class, that way you can have a node where you can query if it is H1 or not.. That's just off of my head maybe I'm wrong
dreamer_soul··on How Google Code Search Worked: Regex Matching with a Trigram Index (2012)
My issue with it is that a small term such as one word doesn't event match to a record which is weird, I'm using it with rails. Thinking of using elastic search to help with that

dreamer_soul··on Traveling the World on a Third World Passport
My passport expired last year and I kept it with me for the US Visa. I just brought up with me 2 passports and they didn't ask me why. They realized that the one with the Visa is expired and just used it to check the visa and compare the name no questions asked.
