Reimplements in C

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

change code so it no longer segfaults

still is UB, has arbitrary code execution vulnerability

everybody dies

What non standard thing are they doing with the power supply? The PSU looks like a regular usb c PD supply to me (even supports 12v, nice!)

Edit: wtf! 5v@5a yeah thats non standard. What were they thinking?

The tweet in the picture is from April 17 2022. so as of today it is. 1 year 8 months 5 days old.

Of course i cannot say whether this is thefirst time this joke was made.

Edit: the meme says “closed source” which is patently false for Mongo

No, MongoDB is closed source, proprietary software. You might be confusing open source with source available.

Edit: Actually I am wrong sorry. Closed source is not the opposite of open source. I didn’t read your comment exactly enough. MongoDB is not open source, it’s not free software, it is source available and thus not closed source. The things below are still true but don’t contradict what you said.

The SSPL is not a free software license and it is not an open source license. The OSI said so:

The only “drama” I recall is that one guy, who ran an unofficial forum, went on a weird rant about how Godot is a scam because he thought development was too slow or something. He then shut down his unofficial forum. That’s a long shot from “being destroyed”.

But maybe I missed something?

(Edit: I had misspelled “forum” as “form”. Sorry if that confused anybody)

Well it being in the middle of a desert makes it more wasteful.

But yes giant festivals that encourage a lot of travel and needlessly burning things are in general wasteful and potentially excessive. There are other leisure activities, so discouraging festivals is not equivalent to working nonstop.

Get a cross body sling, One of those travel digital nomad things. The brand ones aren’t cheap but it’s like somewhat fashionable. Maybe that could work?

They had some serious cryptography issues (including no perfect forwards secrecy!!!) but they have promised to fix that. I’ve not yet seen any paper analyzing the new protocol. But maybe it could be good?

Edit: Here’s a paper with some of the issues: https://www.research-collection.ethz.ch/bitstream/handle/20.500.11850/623004/main.pdf

They conclude that:

The seven attacks we have presented highlight fundamental weaknesses in the design of Threema. Indeed, the Threema protocols lack basic properties that are nowadays considered de rigueur for a messenger app to be regarded as secure: forward secrecy with respect to a malicious server, and protection against replay, reflection, and reordering attacks. We believe that the cryptography in Threema has design flaws that need to be addressed in order to meet the security expectations of its users

They have redesigned their protocol since then but again i have yet to see a third party look at it but TBH i haven’t looked into it.

Huh they work great for me. Which Ladda did you get? I think there was some brown or like yellow ones or something that were made in china and weren’t quite as good I think. Also the LADDA 1900 will have a longer lifetime than the LADDA 2450s. In the same way that Eneloop Pro have fewer recharge cycles than the normal Eneloops.

Tipp for people wanting to get into rechargeable AA and AAAs: get IKEA Ladda batteries and their charger. They are cheap and japanese made. Some people argue that they are just relabeled Panasonic eneloops!

Edit: Oh also if you used rechargeable batteries in the past and you remember them sucking that’s probably true. But the battery chemistry is better now and it’s possible that your batteries degraded quickly because of “dumb” chargers. Modern chargers like the gray 4 battery Ikea charger detect how and for how long to charge and thus will not ruin the batteries.

Maybe it’s a u.2 or u.3 nvme Enterprise drive?

I love USB-C for charging and data and display. But it does not replace 3.5mm. Aside from the things mentioned so far in the comments here, a fundamental problem is that now headphones need DACs in them.

The engineering specification states that an analog headset shall not use a USB-C plug instead of a 3.5 mm plug. In other words, headsets with a USB-C plug should always support digital audio (and optionally the accessory mode)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB-C#Audio_Adapter_Accessory_Mode

That increases the cost of headphones and introduces a point of failure and makes things more complicated for the end user. It’s just not worth it.

I only buy nice (not just 3A 2.0) cables that have proper labeling on the cable. And then i can just assume that all unlabeled cables are simple 3A 2.0 cables.

No telegram is definitely worse. Their cryptography is amateurish at best and wrong on purpose at worst. Attacks again telegram are regularly found (https://www.research-collection.ethz.ch/handle/20.500.11850/506353) and telegram chats aren’t even end-to-end encrypted by default.

They are ignoring a lot of cryptographic best practices in their protocol to the degree where anyone taking a basic cryptography class will laught at it. The paper above shows that some cryptographic properties can be proven for telegram but those look more accidental than actually planed.

So yeah I’d say telegram is way more sketchy. The signal protocol is significantly better. Telegram’s still probably better than WhatsApp tho.
