Re:Debian project has plenty of money but not enough developers

The Monero cryptocurrency's developers are all funded via the community via bounties. I think it works really well.

Re:# of days since the last alg=none JWT vulnerability
on Tuesday September 01, 2020 @07:06PM (#24348164)
Slightly OT but why should I choose a JWT over creating some opaque token (random bytes) and storing that in a database mapping it to a user's ID?
It seems like people create short lived JWTs and then pass some opaque token to an auth endpoint to get a new JWT signed whenever the old one expires, or they store the JWTs in a database so that they can be revoked, making me question their usefulness.
You need to pay Oracle $lots for a GraalVM enterprise licence to get profile guided optimisations, if you want some of your peak performance back.

Try making your class final. Then it won't bother looking up the address of the virtual function in cases where it knows which class it is.

Having a proof of work function that did something useful outside of minting new blocks would be awful for a cryptocurrency.

Re:SaltStack Mining Attack

Mining with JavaScript or WebAssembly is no longer viable as being competitive now requires using a JIT compiler.
Nothing can really be done about it. Pool operators can ban the wallet addresses of known bot masters from connecting to their pool, but you can't really ban someone from participating in an anonymous decentralised network.

Re:Speeding up Linux disk encryption
on Thursday March 26, 2020 @07:27AM (#22692460)
I use Gentoo Linux so it was as easy as putting the patches in a directory, and then rebuilding the kernel with the option to enable the synchronous cipher.
For Debian it's almost as easy: https://passthroughpo.st/patch-kernel-debian/

Seems like you can, but probably shouldn't since you'd want to run services like chrony to keep time inside the VM.

It would be nice if there was a way to block certain domains from Google (or any other search engine) results. There are also a lot of sites that seem like they scrape posts from StackOverflow that I would like to block too.

If it's a static method (or in an anonymous namespace in C++), it should get fixed at any optimisation level. However if it's a global method, you'll need to pass -flto to defer optimisations to link time to make it work.

It would be cool if somebody created some provably fair ransomware that used Bitcoin script or zero knowledge proofs or something. You pay the coins and are guaranteed the (correct) decryption key.
