a git cheat sheet

Alastair captures one of the biggest problems with the current RISC-V spec. When I looked into this a while back I was (almost) shocked at the lack of rigor and state of the tooling. I say almost because I expected it, but was still sad. Read his blog.

A dozen+ RCEs on popular LLM framework libraries like LangChain and LlamaIndex - used in lots of chat-assisted apps including GitHub. These guys got a reverse shell in two prompts, and even managed to exploit SetUID for full root on the underlying VM!

I think this is the most time-standing IT book that I own. It was published in 1999 and I still check it from time to time.

E.g. when collaborating with hpa on arch/x86/realmode, this book was my main reference in addition to ELF specification.

It is also as prose very nice reading with cool stories embedded!

A recent #Amiga demo "Backslide to Arcanum" by Cosmic Orbs included a mind-blowing fullscreen 50Hz rotozoom effect on Amiga 500. Having created a rotozoomer on A500 back in the day I knew exactly how incredibly hard it is to make such routine run fast. The effect has now been dissected and there's also author's writeup.

Voyager 1 just got software update. 15 billion miles away from home :-)

Despite yesterdays rant on #Intel #GPU I cannot wait to have the slice of time to test various things like drm-tip. My own computer failings gives a chance me to learn a tiny bit of new in #Linux #kernel :-) So I'm always excited when my computers fails.
