Technically not a hardware bringup, but still very important non the less! If you have used i think any linux phone before you may have noticed that if you plug in the charger the system immediately boots, while on android it shows a charging symbol. This became quite infamous with the PinePhonePro, it's boot consumed more energy then the charger could give, so it was stuck. This is also how my PP

Kubernetes (and k3s) is a damn headache. So many moving parts and pitfalls. So easy and quick to seriously mess up. So difficult and time-consuming to repair.

Instead I want to put less time and effort towards tending digital infra, and more time towards organizing c

Hey HN! I built Typebase, a library that gives you Convex's DX with Supabase's openness. After trying Supabase I liked how fast it is to spin up a DB and auth, but really didn't like using RLS and SQL for authorization.

arXiv:2608.25165v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: BGP hijacking remains a persistent threat as existing defenses, including RPKI/ROV suffer from a fundamental incentive misalignment: the networks best positioned to filter malicious announcements bear operational costs but receive no direct benefit, while the victim prefix owner captures all the value. We advocate a market-based alternative in which
arXiv:2608.25206v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce the Huffman-Merkle Tree (HMT), an authenticated data structure (ADS) for dynamic workloads where items may differ in access frequencies, and access frequencies can change over time. An ADS allows proving item membership against a short commitment to a large mutable state, with applications including verifiable storage, Internet transpare
arXiv:2608.25216v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Automotive electronic control units (ECUs) increasingly depend on hardware-rooted security to protect software integrity, authenticity, and lifecycle management in the presence of remote and physical threats. Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) have become a key building block in automotive system-on-chips (SoCs), providing isolated cryptographic servic
arXiv:2608.25474v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A system that authorizes an action must see enough of it to decide, and a system that attests to its decision must record enough to be audited. Both pressures push raw action parameters -- recipients, payment memos, record identifiers -- into an append-only ledger that cannot delete them. We show the two are separable. We classify each parameter fiel

arXiv:2608.25670v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Phishing is a well-known social engineering (SE) type used to trick individuals into revealing personal information or performing desired actions, like downloading and installing malware. Other SE types, like vishing and smishing, have emerged and are increasingly being used. As SE continues to successfully persuade victims into actions, the question
arXiv:2608.25730v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Automated code reviewers are increasingly used as gates on pull requests (PRs), yet evaluations measure whether they block a malicious change. A block may be triggered by an unrelated issue rather than the vulnerability that makes the PR unsafe; fixing the reported issue can leave the target defect exploitable. We call this discrepancy the Verdict-Di
arXiv:2608.25793v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Containerization dominates enterprise software delivery, yet Dockerfiles that assemble container images frequently harbor security misconfigurations and structural technical debt. This problem is poorly understood in corporate inner-source environments, where proprietary context and isolated governance prevent direct application of open-source findin

I’m not nostalgic for computing of the past. The computers I grew up with were fun but they were also bad . A load of things I want to do simply wouldn’t fit in their memory (or on their disks / tapes), would take infeasible amounts of compute time, or both. But I am somewhat sad that, when those limitations were removed, lack of attention to detail by developers replaced them. Something like the

David Bianco of DWS says long-term Treasury yields and real rates have climbed to some of their highest levels in nearly 25 years, but he argues inflation is not the main driver. The bigger issues are structural: US deficits above 6% of GDP, a rising total debt-to-GDP ratio, and the need to fund more borrowing domestically as foreign demand becomes less reliable. The US still benefits from the dol

The other thing that I stumbled upon one day while taking a long (long) walk through the countryside by myself... is that you can just bring "ones" into existence to make things easier for yourself, by pure will alone! 1/5 = 0.2 But that's exactly the same as: 1/5 = 0.2/1 Oooh, now you can *do stuff* like "invert" the things (is that even what it's called): 5/1 = 1/0.2 And then: 5 = 1/0.2 This is
Unattended operation on a scale of years is the whole point of Tinta, so reliability and low-power operation are where the design effort went. Once the epaper is updated, the Pico µC sets the next alarm on the real-time clock and then cuts its own power. Not a low-power sleep mode — a MOSFET disconnects the entire circuit from the battery.

When a laptop is asleep, its memory is not unreadable.

RE: https:// fosstodon.org/@deepfryed/11720 3975441085657 At first glance I tend to agree. However, there is a more insidious problem: LLMs amplify bias, so using them for analysis with any regularity could ruin projects, given enough time. I think that is just what they are likely to do: they will shift the code of independent projects in broken or unhealthy ways because that is what the oligarch
Note also that the dynamic I described above – which I believe will come to pass, if not here already – negates the traditional advantages of open source development, which is that public exposure leads to better input and more opportunity for revolutionary innovation. Instead, the LLMs will nag and accuse developers who take unusual or controversial approaches. This will contribute to splitting c

Omarchy should not matter. But sadly it does. As a power grab. If you don’t know what Omarchy is here’s the short summary. David Heinemeier Hansson, creator of RubyOnRails, owner of a software business and millionaire, decided a few months ago to go all in on Linux and – because that’s just his MO – thought that turning his setup into a project made sense. Omarchy is just that: A pretty standard A

Agentic coding going so fast makes you feel awful when you do slow down, sigh and start looking at the code.

Let’s kick off today’s book talk with Lance Holland’s “The Little Tennessee River: Following the Cherokee Path” (The History Press, 2026, 224 pages). In his story of this river, Holland takes an interesting approach to the past. He focuses our attention on the many transitions and developments in transportation and industry which the passage of time has brought to our mountains: the coming of the
I have been testing out Kicksecure lately and they have a weird fetish for Tor. For example, they don't provide any documentation or alternative to not using their sdwdate script for time synchronization. I can appreciate that NTP is not very secure but I have no use for Tor-based time synchronization on a managed server or in a corporate environment. Telling users that the best alternative to the
Chicago could halt new data center development within city limits for a year. Why it matters: Data centers' growing demand for electricity and water could affect residents' utility bills and the environment, and city leaders want more time to study those impacts. The latest: Mayor Brandon Johnson, along with a group of alders, is pushing for a 12-month moratorium while the city develops a "compreh
In 1982, when Chris Jones turned 16 years old, he inherited his brother’s 1968 Mercury Cougar. The vehicle was originally bought and sold at the Miami-Dade Lincoln Mercury dealership in Florida by Jones’ uncle. “So, it was a love affair that started a long, long time ago,” Jones chuckled. “I got bit by the Cougar bug young, and I’ve always enjoyed them.” These days, Jones is the proud owner of a 1
Got my Steam Frame yesterday and had a chance to play with it a bit. Figured I'd leave some details here since I haven't seen much.

So for me, the jump in quality is huge, but if you've kept up with the hardware it might not be. So far

One of the things that caught our attention while analyzing RemotePanel was how it handles C2 resolution.

Interesting job hunt observation: the more insistent that a recruiter is that they need you to send them your resume or schedule a call in order to discuss the role, the higher likelihood that the role is garbage.

Various approaches to blockchain-based random number generation have emerged o
arXiv:2609.30581v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Encrypted training relies on keeping server-side updates low-degree. This constraint traditionally excludes models whose weights inhabit a compact Lie group (notably variational quantum circuits, where every trainable weight is an $\mathrm{SU(2)}$ rotation). Expressed in Euler angles or discrete alphabets, these updates appear transcendental, histo
arXiv:2509.22873v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Federated learning (FL) enables privacy-preserving model training by keeping data decentralized. However, it remains vulnerable to label-flipping attacks, where malicious clients manipulate labels to poison the global model. Despite their simplicity, these attacks can severely degrade model performance, and defending against them remains challeng
arXiv:2609.30684v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Brazil's Pix settles about 5.9 billion instant, irreversible transfers a month. A fraudulent transfer can be recovered only while the funds remain in a traceable account, and in 2025 the Central Bank's recovery mechanism (MED) returned 9% of accepted contested value. Interdiction therefore has to happen before settlement, by routing each transactio

Using large-scale resume data, we analyze how these policies affect employee tenure and seniority at three large U.S. tech companies: Microsoft, SpaceX, and Apple. Employing a distributional synth

I have a theory: a mirror image of Roko’s Basilisk. It’s a future AI, millions of years in the future, that values the complexity of every human life so deeply that, after it and humanity have mastered space and time, it tries to resurrect everyone who ever lived. It doesn’t merely make copies. Somehow, it reaches into the past and carries the physical process of each person’s consciousness forwar

📚 I just finished reading Use of Weapons by Iain M. Banks I love this novel finally shows what Special Circumstances actually does: find someone who is very good at war and point him at other people's wars. In the earlier books that looked like a net good. Here it doesn't so much any more, there's a lot of moral ambiguity. The problem is reading it. The book jumps between times, places and charac
MFA is on the checklist of every audit I have ever seen, and the tick is where most thinking stops. It should not be. The NCSC's guidance is blunt about it: not all types of MFA are created equal. Text messages can be intercepted. A bare push notification can be spammed until someone taps approve at 11pm to make it stop. That is MFA fatigue, and it works because the approval asks nothing of the us

Trump’s tariffs and his war against Iran caused prices to rise, but the US president continues to claim it’s ‘the greatest economy in history’ Donald Trump has taken to repeating a familiar boast: “ We have the greatest economy in history,” Trump said recently at a White House press gaggle.

What GAO Found To meet its mission to protect the security of our nation and provide warfighters the assets they need, the Department of Defense (DOD) relies heavily on the use of information technology (IT). According to DOD’s Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO), the department planned to spend $10.3 billion on the 18 major IT business programs from fiscal years (FY) 2024 through 2026.

What GAO Found Visitor visa adjudications, which account for most nonimmigrant visas (NIV), have surpassed pre-COVID numbers. The Department of State adjudicated 9.2 million visitor visas pre-COVID in fiscal year (FY) 2019. That number dropped to 1.5 million in FY 2021. By FY 2025, the number of adjudications surpassed pre-pandemic levels, reaching 11.7 million. The average wait time to obtain an
What GAO Found Transnational criminal organizations (TCO) in Mexico seek to acquire semi-automatic firearms—AR-15s, AK-47s, and .50-caliber rifles—which they often convert to fully automatic firearms, according to agency officials. Armed with these weapons, TCOs pose a serious threat to Mexican law enforcement and military. TCOs acquire firearms from the U.S. primarily through straw purchasers—thi
What GAO Found The average number of noncitizens incarcerated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) each year decreased 44 percent from fiscal year 2017 (approximately 36,300) through fiscal year 2024 (approximately 20,300). This includes noncitizens with lawful immigration status. During this time, noncitizens, as a proportion of all BOP-incarcerated individuals, also decreased. Immigration-rela

WeChat isn't one surface. It's several, and the intelligence lives in how they connect. A public account tells you what a target publishes. Moments tells you who they are when they think it's casual. Group and channel activity shows you who they're actually connected to. On their own, each is a fragment. Read together, they're a network. Most analysts never get past the first surface, so they see

Last night I was thinking about how, before the Internet, the only ways any given person could realistically reach a bunch of people at once (or even a specific person in a distant place!) were either by being published, using the mail system, or (later) via telephone or television -- the latter essentially amounting to being published on a different medium/stage. Just out of the technical limitat

I can't help but feel that we are in the middle of a HUGE play by capital interests to wrestle control away from what's left of the middle class and liberal democracy.

🎲 Whatever the outcome, we need to be careful of "Resulting", where we judge the quality of the decision based on the results. Luck plays a big role in work. Sometimes good decisions result in bad outcomes and sometimes bad decisions still get the result we wanted. Good decisions can have bad outcomes despite a team's best efforts, otherwise fear will make future decision-making even more difficu
I started digging into Win32k callbacks while looking for a PatchGuard bypass. That lead went nowhere, but it raised a better question: how does the Windows kernel choose the callback for session-specific GUI work? https:// idov31.github.io/posts/paint-i t-blue-reverse-win32k To answer that, I traced the path from win32u.dll and KiSystemCall64 through GUI-thread conversion to PsInvokeWin32Callout.

Excellent research (and very useful FAQ) out on a new RSA attack: forging 1024-bit signatures in “nearly SNFS time” (not polynomial, but somewhat faster than previous number field sieve approaches by a few orders of magnitude). Real-world risk is low because most RSA implementations in practice do not meet one of the attack requirements; however … more ammunition on the need to transition away fro
Pleasantly surprised to see that sometimes, maintainers/orgs _do_ turn around in response to pushback against LLM usage. Unfortunately, there are about half a dozen LLM-assisted commits already merged, and I'm guessing at least some of those don't make much sense to revert (e.g. one adds a permission to a GitHub action). Either way, the "a user you've blocked" badge of shame is damn near impossibl

In the access control industry, you have doors that automatically latch but you want to keep them unlatched some of the time.

Panic bars usually offer a screw or pin or some kind of mechanis
