[16:00] schestowitz[TR2][16:00] schestowitz[TR2]One I've been meaning to point out for a while now is Zoom Platform. A games store that tries to appeal to "Generation X" with both new and classic games, DRM-free and they're continuing to build up their Linux support.

[16:02] schestowitz[TR2][16:02] schestowitz[TR2]I have been a pkgsrc developer for several years. For what its worth, I think pkgsrc is wonderful: a large selection of third-party software, packaged so that it is easy to install with a single command either building everything from source, or relying on binary packages. pkgsrc supports dozens of OSes not just NetBSD but also other BSDs, macOS, Linux, Illumos and more.

[16:06] schestowitz[TR2][16:06] schestowitz[TR2]So instead I began to explore a different way to read my home timeline. The dashboards that Ive built and described in this series have become, for me at least, an effective way to scan recent Mastodon flow, then click into the stock client to post, reply, or boost. After overcoming a few obstacles, things are starting to feel like the Bloomberg terminal for Mastodon that I envision.

[16:13] schestowitz[TR2][16:13] schestowitz[TR2]On the Internet, we often use 32-bit addresses which we serialize as strings such as 192.128.0.1. The string corresponds to the Integer address 0xc0800001 (3229614081 in decimal)
[16:13] schestowitz[TR2]How might you serialize, go from the integer to the string, efficiently in C++?

[16:13] schestowitz[TR2][16:13] schestowitz[TR2]What this probably looks like going forward, is that I could alias my way out of most of this, but in reality, I will probably just start using devcontainer for everything.
[16:13] schestowitz[TR2]This is why we need a 12-core CPU and 96GiB RAM to write some HTML for a website.

[16:15] schestowitz[TR2][16:15] schestowitz[TR2]That extinguisher has a VIVE PRO tracker, which lets the system monitor its position. The nozzle has an MPU-9265 gyroscope and the handle has a momentary switch. Both of those connect to an Arduino Uno WiFI Rev2 board, which feeds the sensor data to the augmented reality system. With this hardware, participants can manipulate the virtual fire extinguisher just like a real one. The system k [16:15] schestowitz[TR2] nows when users activate the fire extinguisher and the direction in which theyre pointing the nozzle, so it can determine if theyre dousing the virtual fires.

[16:16] schestowitz[TR2][16:16] schestowitz[TR2]This article details my experience with all the graphic tablets I used since 2002. This article started a decade ago and receives constant updates and new paragraph along the years of practise (last update, February 2023).

[16:21] schestowitz[TR2][16:21] schestowitz[TR2]Each of these is a PE binary signed with a key. The shim is signed by Microsofts 3rd party key and embeds a self-signed Canonical CA certificate, and optionally a vendor dbx (a list of revoked certificates or binaries). grub and linux (and fwupd) are then signed by a certificate issued by that CA
[16:21] schestowitz[TR2]In Ubuntus case, the CA certificate is sharded: Multiple people each have a part of the key and they need to meet to be able to combine it and sign things, such as new code signing certificates.

[16:23] schestowitz[TR2][16:23] schestowitz[TR2]Today is the day Sequoias StandardPolicy starts rejecting SHA1-based signatures by default. This change will affect existing programs based on Sequoia, as the SHA1 deprecation has been committed to and baked into the code three years ago. Therefore, all programs using sequoia-openpgp version 0.15 and up will now reject SHA1-based signatures by default.
[16:23] schestowitz[TR2]Three years ago, we changed how Sequoia evaluates signatures. The problem we tried to address is that cryptographic algorithms like hash algorithms do not age well: theoretical attacks are refined over time, and with growing computational resources, some become feasible.
