vern Onion DDoS ~vern team Mon, 24 Oct 2022 Hello ~vern members, We have recently been DDoSed over the Tor network, meaning our onion services were down for a short period of time. I first noticed strange behavior starting around 9:30 AM UTC, where ~vern onions would time out. I have seen this behavior before, in DuckDuckGoOnion. I didn’t know what it was, so I tried restarting the Tor service, which worked at first. Then it happe....

Avoid kexec if you don’t need it: it opens new vulnerabilities, and is better left disabled for most use-cases. Redundancy and failover should eliminate the need when hosting a typical service. Even without the risks, there are other reasons to reboot: updates to shared libraries, SELinux policies, and init systems often warrant one. One use-case that benefits from kexec is pubnix systems with many logged-in users. If you need to apply an..

The *scratch* buffer is the first thing I see when I launch an Emacs session. Coupled with persistent-scratch , it's served me well over the years. I gotta say though, my scratch buffer accumulates random bits and often becomes a little messy. It's not the most visually appealing landing buffer when launching Emacs. But who cares, I'm only a C-x b binding away from invoking ivy-switch-buffer to get me wherever I need to be. It's powered by....

RISCy business: The long and convoluted rise of today's dominant computing platform

RISC vs CISC Traditionally, most computing platforms were built with the burden of software in mind. To ensure that a software program could be written easily and with fewer instructions, additional circuitry was added to the central processing unit (CPU) to compensate. This was referred to as complex instruction set computing (CISC). CISC architecture is still common today thanks to the x86 architecture used by Intel and AMD CPUs in most ..

In this post, I’m briefly going over how installing dependencies in your Docker image using yarn install can cause unnecessary bloat, why it happens, and the simple steps to take on how to fix it. Backstory time The other day, I was containerizing a simple Node.js project. The MVP Dockerfile was as simple as it gets: FROM node:16.18.0-alpine COPY ./package.json ./yarn.lock ./ RUN yarn install --immutable --production Yet, after adding a de..

Last Friday, I performed a presentation to my colleagues about Makefiles, and I want to share it to the public. Of note, this presentation is setting aside what people usually know of Makefiles (autoconf-generated blobs, opaque to any inspection because machine-created), and instead I introduce the concept of file transformation as a graph, then teach Makefiles basics (using SQL commands as an example). We then move on to my plea for simp..

So now that the Squeezebox v2209 is up and running, and given it's very unusual arrangement of keys (2 for pinky, 3 for ring, 4 for middle and index, 3 for thumb), I have to figure out which keymap to use for my base/alpha layer. Since I currently use dvorak both on my thinkpad keyboard and on my daily driver squeezebox v2112, there's some justification for keeping close to dvorak and then sort of shoving some keys over to the strong finger....

Historially, I have struggled with consistent bible reading. I start a new reading plan with new zeal but then quickly fall off, and the habit doesn’t stick. I have tried the traditional one year plan like M’Cheyne’s, some more modern chronological plans, and of course Prof Horner’s 10 chapters a day plan . But for some reason, all of these plans end up making bible reading like a chore, something to check off from your to-do list. I ....

A very brief note to announce reaching a long term goal and major milestone for marginalia search. The search engine now indexes 106,857,244 documents! The previous record was a bit south of seventy million. A hundred million has been a pie-in-the-sky goal for a very long time. It’s seemed borderline impossible to index a that many documents on a PC. Turns out it’s not. It’s more than possible. Twice this may even be technically doabl..

Here is how I propose browsers address web bloat: Stop adding features unrelated to accessibility, security, privacy, and internationalization. Adopt a default document policy that restricts oversized assets and download size . Make JIT-compilation a per-site opt-in permission. That should rein in over-reliance on JS. This should mostly contain the bloat problem without significantly inconveniencing most users, which is..
