Poorly documented good crypto is undistinguishable from bad crypto.

@Gargron I have some spare cycles, and I was thinking about implementing a (optional) Mastodon-Lightning Network integration, so users can easily tip admins and other users. Much like tippin.me or bottle.li, but decentralized, with each (opted-in) Mastodon instance acting as a tipping jar.

Would you be interested in such development? I can open an issue in GitHub to discuss it in detail.

We might need to revisit this old idea that "VMs are better for isolation but slower to boot than containers" 😉

I wonder how much money Nintendo saved on R&D by relying on components already on the market for building the Switch.

This is what I've been working on over the last few days. A new machine type for QEMU, designed after Firecracker's machine model, for users looking for the minimal attack surface, fast boot time and small footprint.

I think Valve should consider distributing their official binaries as a @FlatpakApps.

Instead of relying on some firmware plus a real-mode bootloader, Firecracker sets up some basic page tables, puts the vCPUs in 64-bit protected-mode and jumps directly into Linux's entry point.

And now QEMU is able to do that too. At least in this unpublished local branch. 😜

One thing I like about from Firecracker, is that it doesn't even try to emulate a PC, it just implements the minimum amount of features that Linux needs to boot up.

I'm considering creating a QEMU machine type that uses the same strategy.

Well, it's official, I *hate* Cargo.lock files.

Yikes. The i.MX8 is the core of the Librem phone.

People cheering at incremental, conservative hardware upgrades for niche products. 🤷‍♀️

Even though they barely mention it, this is an excellent showcase of the amazing performance Linux KVM (and QEMU!) provides these days.

Does Jim Keller have some kind of super-power, or he's just *that* good?

Today I wrote a bunch of Rust code, which compiled of the first attempt.

I should be happy, but instead I can't shake the feeling that I somehow broke the compiler.

I haven't done it yet because I'd need like 4-6 hours for a full migration, but I'll definitely switch to @teamsilverblue 30 + @FlatpakApps + @flatkvm as soon as I have the opportunity.

Yes, @mozilla makes mistakes (same as the rest of us humans). And yes, their last one was ugly. But, still, they're the only ones in the browser business trying to do the right thing. So I'll keep using Firefox, Focus, Send, and the rest of cool software they produce.

Gracias a S08E03 he descubierto dos cosas:

1. No tengo ninguna pantalla en casa que lidie bien con las escenas oscuras.

2. La aplicación de Movistar, además de ser una pesadilla a nivel de UX, ofrece una calidad de streaming paupérrima (y no permite configurarlo).
