For the past few days, I’ve been getting a lot of messages asking about my experience at this year’s Black Hat USA. So in this post, I’ll be recapping the conference to give you an inside look at what was presented and provide some helpful perspective.

Currently, the Tor Browser is based on Firefox Extended Support Release (ESR); it lags behind stable releases by up to 13 months and only receives the subset of security backports deemed to be a high-enough priority. The Tor Uplift project is an initiative to upstream all the Tor Browser’s patches into Firefox. Its goal is to make re-basing the Tor browser patches easy enough for the Tor Browser to track Firefox’s stable release channel....

Weighted quantile estimators for exponential smoothing and mixture distributions

There are various ways to estimate quantiles of weighted samples. The proper choice of the most appropriate weighted quantile estimator depends not only on the own estimator properties but also on the goal. Let us consider two problems: Estimating quantiles of a weighted mixture distribution. In this problem, we have a weighted mixture distribution given by $F = \sum_{i=1}^m w_i F_i$. We collect samples $\mathbf{x_1}, \mathbf{x_2}, ....

By definition, “open source” has little to do with how software is actually created. Instead, open source refers to how the source code for a software development project is distributed and consumed by software developers working on other projects. It is essentially a blanket term that refers to any software that makes its source code available to others. To be open source, the software project must be released under an open source licens..

A “more sophisticated” scenario can consist of manually routing all the victim’s traffic to an external server. The attackers can also create fake networks or routers. In other words, it’s possible to act as a proxy under certain conditions without any knowledge from the victims who wouldn’t change their behavior, as nothing would look wrong. This attack allows intercepting cleartext communication. However, simply proxying traffic does ....

Being on-call is often a necessary part of the job, particularly for engineers in a SaaS business. The burden of operations often negatively impacts morale and productivity. If we were to estimate the impact on a team, we could build a model based on incident frequency, ticket severity, time of alert versus sleeping schedules, and other operational metrics. Alternatively, we can ask the on-call engineers directly, which should be more accur....

https://emutos.sourceforge.io/ I have an ST, and an Amiga, but I didn't use either back in the day. But I think this is amazing work and really impressive. So I stuck in on HN and some pillock went "yah boo TOS sucks Amiga is better" like it was 1986. I paraphrase. I am unimpressed. In fact, while I don't want to be mean, you're missing two or possibly three different points... among which are the reasons I posted this link. [....

At work, we’ve been facing lots of issues with Travis CI . The biggest issue is we cannot run more than 5 builds at a time. If some of the builds take a longer time, the rest have to queue. It slows down our velocity to ship things quickly. The other issues we faced are slow initial boot times (Travis uses GCP VMs to run the builds) unable to provision bigger machines for faster builds bugs: some builds missing and randomly failing build..

Ok. First of all, I should apologize with anyone subscribed to this newsletter because I didn’t publish anything for almost nine months . No, I did not have any child, but I’ve been through quite harsh times. I think it’s time to start again publishing some articles. Maybe –but just maybe – in the next few weeks I’ll have some spare time, so, as Rage Against the Machine once said: “ What better time than now? ” Dead Man’s Party # I a....

Advanced Oracle Troubleshooting Guide, Part 13: OStackProf for Linux, Unix & MacOSX Clients

About 14 years ago I published the OstackProf script that ran on Windows sqlplus clients (the Oracle server could run on any platform that supported ORADEBUG SHORT_STACK). I don’t use Windows almost at all nowadays, so it’s about time to publish the same functionality for MacOSX, Linux, Unix sqlplus clients. This is mostly useful when hacking dev systems, troubleshooting test systems and in rare cases, carefully troubleshooting non-fa..

Setting Emacs up to use your system trash can potentially save your bacon if you mistakenly delete a file, say from dired . Unsurprisingly, the trash safety net also extends to other Emacs areas. For example, discarding files from Magit (via magit-discard) becomes a recoverable operation. As an eshell user, the trash can also help you recover from rm blunders. You can enable macOS system trash in Emacs by setting trash-directory..

A minimal distributed key-value database with Hashicorp's Raft library

When I wrote the " build a distributed PostgreSQL proof of concept " post I first had to figure out how to use Hashicorp's Raft implementation . There weren't any examples I could find in the Hashicorp repo itself. And the only example I could find was Philip O'Toole's hraftd . It's great! However, I have a hard time following multi-file examples in general. So I built my own single-file example . It's not perfect but it helped me ....

The first 3D experience I remember was Sega’s 1991 LaserDisc interactive movie arcade game, Hologram Time Traveler at the Whistler Village arcade in the early 1990s. Our family made annual spring break trips to Whistler back then and the village arcade was something I looked forward to every time. I was too young to be… Continue reading XR, VR, AR 2022 Pt. 1: Dragon’s Lair and Hologram Time Traveler

In my early morning stroll, I sometimes listen to audiobooks. This was the case with The Count of Monte Cristo. Rai Radio 3, the third channel of the national broadcasting service, has been airing Ad Alta Voce (Aloud) for many years. In the program, top-tier actors read old and new literary classics. The quality of these productions is astounding. Audio editions are often edited, which was the case with The Count, as the unabridged editio..
