On the future of free long term support for Linux distributions
You're probably reading this page because you've attempted to access some part of my blog (Wandering Thoughts) or CSpace , the wiki thing it's part of.

Transcoding Latin 1 strings to UTF-8 strings at 12 GB/s using AVX-512
Though most strings online today follow the Unicode standard (e.g., using UTF-8), the Latin 1 standard is still in widespread inside some systems (such as browsers) as JavaScript strings are often stored as either Latin 1, UTF-8 or UTF-16 internally. Latin 1 captures the first 256 characters from the Unicode standard…

NP-hard does not mean hard (2017)
When NP-hardness pops up on the internet, say because some silly blogger wants to write about video games, it’s often tempting to conclude that the problem being proved NP-hard is actually very hard! “Scientists proved Super Mario is NP-hard? I always knew there was a reason I wasn’t very good at it!” Sorry, these two…

Adding design-by-contract conditions to C++ via a GCC plugin
Design-by-Contract's invariant attribute allows you to enforce important properties of systems and data structures, making it an incredibly useful tool for developers.

MiniDisc Hacking
Most MiniDisc aficionados are aware of unit hacking to gain access to new features. The unit that perhaps benefits the most from this is the Sony MZ-N510, which also comes in the N520 and NF610 variants. The 2001 model R700 can be hacked to add many features of its upscale brother, the R900 , as well as the Type-R…

NVD Damage Continued
There is something about having your product installed in over twenty billion instances all over the world and even out of the globe. In my case it helps me remain focused on and committed to working on the security aspects of curl. Ideally, we will never have our heartbleed moment. Security is also a generally ……

Clog: Making a homegrown ClickHouse log for $20 a month
There was recently a discussion on Hacker News around application logging on a budget. At work I've been trying to keep things lean, not to the point of absurdity, but also not using a $100 or $1000/month setup, when a $10 one will suffice for now . We settled on a homegrown Clickhouse + PHP solution that has…

Infra-Red, in Situ (Iris) Inspection of Silicon
Cryptography tells us how to make a chain of trust rooted in special-purpose chips known as secure elements. But how do we come to trust our secure elements? I have been searching for solutions to this thorny supply chain problem . Ideally, one can directly inspect the construction of a chip, but any viable inspection…

The quest for a simple smartwatch
My trusty old smartwatch recently stopped working. It was a Garmin Vivomove HR, a minimal hybrid watch with regular watch hands and a tiny hidden screen that showed notifications and messages. It served me well for quite some time but unfortunately the hidden screen has stopped working and it would cost me as much to…

Switching to Fedora Silverblue
For the last 10 years or so, Arch Linux has been my Linux distribution of choice. The early years were a bit rough, and the process of moving to systemd wasn't without its challenges either, though the experience has improved dramatically since then. In spite of these improvements, certain issues persisted, such as…
