    SATA= Slow (Max 6 Gbps) PCIe = Fast (Max > 100 Gbps in theory)

    This is the maximum rate from the drive to the motherboard. Many drives are fast enough that SATA works become the bottleneck. With PCIe, the drive can run at its full speed, whatever that may be.

    Rarely. A good intro gives me a moment to set aside real-life worries and get into the right mindset to enjoy the show. TNG, DS9, VOY, and SNW are all bangers.

    I assume this guide is for engaging the F-117 in midair hand-to-hand combat after you've leapt aboard. But in that case, where are you supposed to get dirt? Bring it with you, like some kind of peasant?? Just use your sword like a normal ninja.

    You can disable this "feature":

    1. Visit about:config

    2. Set "dom.private-attribution.submission.enabled" to false

    Sure, but there's still no excuse for "store the password in plaintext lol". Once you've got user access, files at rest are trivial to obtain.

    You're proposing what amounts to a phishing attack, which is more effort, more time, and more risk. Anything that forces the attacker to do more work and have more chances to get noticed is a step in the right direction. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.

    No, defense in depth is still important.

    It's true that full-disk encryption is useless against remote execution attacks, because the attacker is already inside that boundary. (i.e., As you say, the OS will helpfully decrypt the file for the attacker.)

    However, it's still useful to have finer-grained encryption of specific files. (Preferably in addition to full-disk encryption, which remains useful against other attack vectors.) i.e., Prompt the user for a password when the program starts, decrypt the data, and hold it in RAM that's only accessible to that running process. This is more secure because the attacker must compromise additional barriers. Physical access is harder than remote execution with root, which is harder than remote execution in general.

    UTC is better than most, but leap seconds are still awful. Computers should use GPS or TAI everywhere. Dealing with time zones and leap seconds is for human readability and display purposes only.

    Full disk encryption doesn't help with this threat model at all. A rogue program running on the same machine can still access all the files.

    Short story about space zombies

    I'm trying to find a sci-fi short story. Unfortunately, I do not remember anything about the author or title. It is at least a decade or two old, available for free online. The entire story is set aboard a starship in deep space, and everyone has advanced technology (nanomachines?) that can repair tissue damage that would normally be deadly. Unfortunately, the ship is hit by a massive radiation burst, nearly killing everyone aboard, causing all kinds of damage, and contaminating much of what's left. Somehow, the worst affected have massive brain damage, and the nanomachines are driving them to instinctively seek raw materials for repairs--which can only be found in the brains of relatively intact survivors. In short, the whole setup is basically an excuse to have space zombies. The nanomachines keep them alive even when their organs are falling out, but they're dumb and slow and they want braaaaains. Other things I remember: * The protagonist is female, and was protected by the initial burst because she was working inside a large water tank. * The protagonist is trying to help her romantic partner, who is comatose, but it's implied they might wake up as a zombie. * The protagonist is trying to avoid killing the zombies when possible, because there is still a chance of curing them. * The protagonist is looking for raw materials that aren't radiation-contaminated, to help her partner and repair the ship.

    AoC Input fetch tool (Rust) https://github.com/ooterness/AdventOfCode/tree/main/aocfetch

    If you're writing Advent of Code solutions in Rust, then I've [written a crate](https://github.com/ooterness/AdventOfCode/tree/main/aocfetch) that can fetch the user input data directly from the main website. Long story short, you provide it a login token copied from your browser cookies, and it can fetch the input data by year and day. Inputs are cached locally, so it'll only download it once for a given problem. This was heavily inspired by the PyPi [advent-of-code-data](https://pypi.org/project/advent-of-code-data/) package. Unlike other AoC-centric Rust crates, that's all it does. The other crates I've seen all want the code structured in a specific way to add timing benchmarks, unit testing, and other features. I wanted something lightweight where you just call a function to get the input; no more and no less. To use the crate: * Follow the [AoCD instructions](https://pypi.org/project/advent-of-code-data/) to set the AOC_SESSION environment variable.\ This key is used for authentication and should not be shared with anyone. * Add the `aocfetch` crate to your Cargo.toml `[dependencies]` section:\ `aocfetch = { git = "https://github.com/ooterness/AdventOfCode.git" }` * Import the crate and call `aocfetch::get_data(year, day)` to fetch your input data. An example: ``` use aocfetch; fn main() { let input = aocfetch::get_data(2023, 1).unwrap(); println!("My input data: {}", input); println!("Part 1 solution: 42"); // TODO println!("Part 2 solution: 42"); // TODO } ``` If this goes well I will submit it to crates.io, but I wanted to open this up for beta-testing first.

    SatCat5 mixed-media Ethernet switch github.com

    This is an open-source FPGA project I've been working on for several years now. It's an Ethernet switch for FPGAs, but you can mix-and-match the usual RMII/RGMII/SGMII interfaces with unconventional options like a plain old UART. My company uses it internally, but we decided to release it as open source. (Currently LGPLv3 but open to other weak-copyleft suggestions.) Among other things, we've recently incorporated some new technology that allows picosecond-accurate timestamps to be compared across different digital clock domains. You can think of it as a group of NCOs that all track the same best-fit line.
