Re:Privacy Pass Authentication for Kagi Search on Friday February 14, 2025 @01:06PM (#43051186)
Kagi's repository doesn't contain any of raphaelrobert's code directly. It's used as a library: https://github.com/kagisearch/privacypass-lib/blob/main/src/...
Re:US to ban Russian, Chinese software and hardware in vehicles on Wednesday January 15, 2025 @01:20PM (#42714872)
Espressif are a Chinese company so I would imagine so. Although you shouldn't find an ESP32 on a car anyway, they are not automotive grade parts.
You still authenticate and kick off the Mosh session via SSH, so it shouldn't be any worse than plain SSH.

> Mosh doesn't listen on network ports or authenticate users. The mosh client logs in to the server via SSH, and users present the same credentials (e.g., password, public key) as before. Then Mosh runs the mosh-server remotely and connects to it over UDP.

Re:A Better Light Source for Scanning Color Negative Film on Thursday August 08, 2024 @03:30PM (#41195278)
Dust (and scratches?) can be detected with an infrared scan. The IR scan is only used to detect defects, and then something like a spot removal tool is automatically applied to the defect areas.

> If serde_json is a parser and has a different feature set than json-threat-protection, does it make sense to compare performance?

If you were using serde_json just to validate a payload before passing it on to another service (like a WAF), then the comparison makes sense. If you had more complex validations or wanted to extract some of the data, then maybe not.

Oops, my bad. I was stuck in Intel land.

If GET requests increase my AWS bill, does that make them not idempotent any more?
Zero dependencies seems like a weird selling point, especially since it depends on Clap, Tokio, a Rust compiler...

A neat project, though. I think that this is best solved in the application itself (e.g. your server starts but returns HTTP errors while the database is unavailable), but being able to retrofit this behaviour into any existing application seems useful. Feels like something very similar should be built into tools like docker-compose.

Maybe there isn’t a benefit to closed-source Llama either.
You can drop root after binding, or you can use capabilities to allow a particular program to bind on privileged ports. php-fpm could listen on a UNIX socket instead of a TCP socket.
> running around salsa.debian.org pushing for more updates in other projects as well

This is quite common in most (all?) distributions. People are going through lists of outdated packages, updating them, testing them, and pushing them.

I haven't had chance to use it properly yet, but I think JfrUnit[0][1] is a good option here to test non-functional behaviour like memory usage and garbage collection.

Re:Considering then abandoning JSX for structured YAML config on Sunday February 25, 2024 @03:44PM (#39504543)
You don’t need to convert back to yaml. Your json is valid yaml.
In this example, the kernel is doing the task switching. They are "real" threads. The userspace component is informing the kernel which tasks should be run.

goroutines and Java virtual threads are a separate idea. The application saves its state and then yields back to a scheduler in the application.

This smells like when PowerShell aliased curl and wget to a completely different command, with incompatible arguments.

You don't need to agree with all of his opinions to use SourceHut :)

I'm not a big fan of some of his hot takes, but I still respect him and trust him with my data.
