> * All: switch the fallback implementation of the ed25519 signature algorithm used when libcrypto is disabled from SUPERCOP ed25519 to libsodium. The libsodium implementation includes a number of strictness checks over the original reference implementation we have used to this point and a more ergonomic API.

The BCHS stack is OpenBSD, C, OpenBSD's httpd, and SQLite.
Is that the stack you are referring to, or something else?

100 year old windows were designed for easy maintenance and repair.
Are the double hung windows? If they are, you can make sure to have storm windows on which effectively work as a double pane window. If this new glass were available, you could replace every pane in your window without removing a nail.

Pure asafoetida is fine to use, it doesn't smell bad, it doesn't give you stomach problems. You dilute it with the food you cook with it. It doesn't need it adulterated with flour and turmeric. Here is a good brand that I like, "Best Hing Ever". Hing is another name for asafoetida.

Your RHEL/Debian/etc hosts can be just as much locked down cattle as your CoreOS (which is also Linux). I find it very interesting to go on about the technicality of correctness when the entirety of kubernetes is dependent upon Linux.

> The ipv6 module is used for more than ipv6.
Would you tell me why the ipv6 module used for more than ipv6? If you don't want something running, disabling it at the kernel level makes sense to me, so I am curious as to why that is not the case. If things don't work with it disabled in the kernel, but DO work with it disabled via sysctl, what is actually being disabled?

One way to check for real v fake ivory is to heat a pin in a lighter and then try and poke a little hole. Real ivory doesn't melt at all, and a lot of imitation ivory does, and that is a very easy and expedient test.

LuaJIT had a beta release 3 years ago and hasn't been updated since.
