Here's a neat analysis of a subtle OpenZFS bug by @robn.
despairlabs.com/blog/posts/202…
I love reading thoughtful analyses of bugs and the factors that produced them. Nowadays I usually arrive somewhat resigned, and expecting a "zeroth order" C bug -- something like bad pointering or failure to initialize a variable.
This is more of a "second order" C bug, and the author goes through the potential tradeoffs and rightfully points out that the answer is not "git gud." I'll put my thoughts on the bug in a reply so as not to spoil it for you.
Anyway, it's a good short read.
A couple of weeks ago I fixed a nasty bug in this function in OpenZFS:despair labs
Jeez, what a bug. C is so hostile to using things that may catch this.
Static analysis? Another thing to maintain in the CI.
Unit test for that function? Writing tests in C is a PITA... not the writing-the-test part, but getting it to compile and run without the rest of the code.
Time to deprecate TLS 1.0 and 1.1 in #curl ?
So what are you all using to interact with legacy systems then?
Should I add a mitmproxy to my default configuration for my debug box now that even curl drops support for this?
I can understand having to add a "--legacy-tls" option or something, but not having TLS 1.0 and 1.1 is going to be quite annoying ngl.

Hi all, my family and I could really use your help! Extended illness, no income while sick. We have nothing saved; we are still trying to catch up on bills from unemployment most of last year.
Current total funds as of 7/18: $124
(Money previously sent to us for bills went to food & unexpected vehicle maintenance.)
Urgent expenses:
* Funds for meals for the coming week. We are feeding 2 adults and 2 preteens.
* Car Payment $567.83/mo × 3 (3 months past due, repossession efforts begin on 8/8)
* Electric Bill $143.51 (Overdue 7/7, disconnect 7/21)
Less urgent, but still important:
* Water Bill $137.99 (Due 7/22)
* Phone $229.04 (Payment arrangement, due 7/31)
* Back property taxes payment $726 (overdue amount from 6/26, next bill 7/26)
Thank you for whatever help you can provide, even if it's just a boost!

> WireGuard uses the system time as a reliable monotonic counter. If this jumps forward, a user might DoS their own keys, by making it impossible to later have a value larger, or an adversary controlling system time could store a handshake initiation for use later. If it jumps backwards, handshakes will similarly be impossible. Thus, the system time should not be under the control of a hostile adversary.
oh good i'll make sure to remind the adversaries to not touch my time source

there's a lot to like about Tiddlywiki but not if you want to use it in a way where you aren't just using some background html file sync between devices. If you want to access it *via a website*, every time you load it you're downloading a minimum of 2MB, much larger depending on how much data you have in there and possibly even file embeds (unless you use the File upload plugin thing and have it dump the files into S3/WebDav)
This sucks big time. If you have spotty data service you won't be able to open your "notes" reliably.
This is a huge red flag for me. If I only cared about using Tiddlywiki from one device it would be a pretty amazing solution though

Herentals finally got a water tap! After preparation works have been there for a year...
In true SNCB style they changed vendors in the middle of rollout. The new version removes wheelchair accessibility for braille. Buttons are too easy they decided and it now features a contactless sensor which requires all these detailed instructions!
I've also noticed that the braille - that blind people need to touch - are placed right _below_ the tab, i.e; where all the water spill onto...
How is the current version _not_ wheelchair accessible, especially when compared to the previous version?
At last: you can add it to openstreetmap with mapcomplete.org/drinking_water

What the fuck is it with #overlay companies and their apologists commenting on my blog?
I got two today (on the same post):

They are promoting their water-carrying shill-piece over on LinkedIn.

Oh yay, the overlay shill is still spouting aspirational distractions on my site while failing to outline anything useful:

And one of the humans (not just a nameless sales person) responded to my comment on LinkedIn.

The overlay shill is not just a shill, but an overlay vendor itself.
It may have failed to disclose that when asking for, and engaging in, a “balanced” and “open” debate about overlays on LinkedIn.
Overlay vendors continue to be ethically dubious (at best).

Oh no…now Meta is automatically sharing our private messages to its AI. As far as I can tell, you can only turn it off for each message thread, one at a time (and there seems to be no option to turn it off *at all* for group threads!). Yet another privacy disaster from Facebook.
I use Messenger btw for family and non-tech friends, so don’t (ahem) shoot the messenger.

I should be able to see a Git repo somewhere & issue queue from gnuhealth.org/download.html
I just couldn't seem to find it, but don't know what I am missing.
That was not easy to find, but I think by following a link to docs, and then via the Contributing page, I ended up at what might be it: codeberg.org/gnuhealth
Still, @gnuhealth might want to consider sharing the link elsewhere as well :)

Wiped the test accounts. Resubmitted the app for another review.
I actually feel pretty bad for the individuals doing the app reviews. It’s well documented that the working conditions of the people who do content moderation for Meta or "AI" training for OpenAI are truly horrific. I can’t imagine that someone working for Google is much better off.
