Holy carp nuggets! Happy birthday /.!

I remember meeting Rob briefly at one of the Atlanta Linux Symposium, what a great memory. My work life wouldn't be the same without the comments, experience and insight I gained here. Big thanks.

Honestly I could care less about another SSD technology - having good NVRAM on the memory bus is one of the most exciting things in system design I've seen in a long time.

I may be wrong - but in my experience a minimum of 10% of runtime at load, and at least 25-30% of OS code is all about hiding the fact that storage speed sucks and we have to stuff everything through a storage protocol. New IO designs could open up some very cool technologies that currently depend on clunky NAND/flash limitations.

Thanks for the feedback.

Sorry, I was evaluating SSH security protocols and was looking to add moduli generation and DH exchanges last year.

Ideally, it would be nice to generate a high-quality moduli for each new connection. 8 minutes in your case, and more than an hour on an ARM core. Forever in terms of algorithms and network connections.

I've got 383 spams so far today from the new gTLD domains for this one account, it's just not worth the effort. I bounce them back the messages with a contact address "in case you received an error" Not a peep yet.

And this is *after* I rbl and rhsbl filter! I should sell this is a spam feed. 100% fresh, prime grade A spam. Yummy.

When the NSA leaks happened, investigates this and promoted this as a possible attack vector.

NOTE - You can generate a new set of moduli like so:

# ssh-keygen -G moduli-2048.candidates -b 2048
# ssh-keygen -T moduli-2048 -f moduli-2048.candidates

Put the results in /etc/ssh/moduli

WARNING: This takes forever. Also, according to man ssh-keygen:

It's not possible to regenerate and share many moduli quickly - hence the reuse of moduli. SSH has support for x25519 algorithms - this definitely means I'll be moving away from pre-computed DH moduli also.

It would be a little work, but by simply observing the changes in the register file step by step, you could make some good guesses at what instruction was executed. That gives you a portion of the decrypted executable code. If you can get a few 16 byte blocks (AES blocksize), then you can reverse the key.

The other issue is that the only modes they could likely use to encrypt the data would be ECB, CTR or XTS. There are many known attacks on those modes when you have leaking cleartext.

Your views are completely understandable, given your situation.

But honestly I think this is terrible - as a society - to know this to be the new normal. This is saying that we have given up as a society on actual premises of society. If we don't believe in safe neighborhoods, respect for individuality, a broad acceptance of differing views and a willingness to demand our basic rights then what is left?

We have given up on a big part of the freedoms we deserve to live our lives as we see fit. Such thinking will propagate upwards into adulthood and across the legal system over time. Viewing the outside world as only for adults is more than a disservice to childhood.

Just check the IP range of your VPS servers first. Thanks ColoCrossing....

This is how things are supposed to be. The legal system was designed for individuals "to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects."

Agreed. I started using cash a few months ago so that I could keep better track of my spending, but the side benefit is a smaller digital footprint. I don't live in a high crime area, so the tradeoff is mostly positive.

Amen! I'm know there were some gems in the rough, and also some amazing apps that I never saw, but by-and-large the emphasis on shiny marketing and top tens over quality has overshadowed the market for a couple of years.

I have some genuine good ideas I'd like to throw at an app, but I'm looking at the market and I don't really want to touch it.

What about the amount of pollutants released with the launch of this satellite? Solid rockets and hydrazine aren't exactly environmentally friendly when you burn a million pounds in 12 minutes. The production of H2 and LOX is pretty dirty also, even if the final product is water.

I may sound a little pedantic, but at least I'm not roaming the globe looking like Chuckles the CO2 clown...

Should be straightalk customer service is awful, as I said the phone service is great.

I second straightalk. You don't need a credit card - just buy the $45 dollar sim kit and you can choose att, tmobile or verizon - a full month unlimited talk, text, data all included. They also have a 60 dollar international plan.

Don't screw up the activation - dont port your number. Just get a new number - otherwise you have phone hell. And straighttalk phone service is awful. But the phone service is great. Go figure...

2NH3 -> N2 + 3H2

These guys have a simple and cheap way to produce hydrogen on demand for fuel cells.

I think the only way we're going to transition the current oil economy into zero emissions is to combine the best tech from electric cars with a liquid fuel.
