Hey #internet #cloud #web #infrastructure #persistence is there any #p2p or publicly supported content-addressable storage (#cas) solution? (Other than #IPFS, which I am aware of.)

The problem is that I eventually would want a (few) small binaries to be available "in perpetuity", i.e. not some specific content hosting service. The idea being that if that binary-exact file performs an important function, I'd like it to be hard to become unavailable or disappear.

Hey #linux #kernel do you remember a #bug about 8 or so years ago (discovered) with #docker running as root that hit some obscure issue in a local fastpath of the #networking subsystem in a device or loopback interface or bridge (not sure). It was present on modern kernels and hit some weird (probabilistic?) bug that .. IIRC bugged out the interface. I don't remember exactly. It caused problems for docker and was also discovered within that context.

@Blort you don't know anything. You're working off lies and false accusations.

"..., that cancers do not believe in astrology." #astrology Is there any truth to this? This was dropped in an almost 2 hour presentation on an otherwise very different subject. I find it a rather fascinating unexpected statement.

Hey #golang #programming pplz, is there a list of all known/widely-used (comment) directives in Go?

I know there are some internal hints prly not for consumer use, I know there's things like embed and for json-codec, but there are a lot more. I'd love some kind of listing, especially if there are directives that are useful for static #analysis.

[#]linux #systemd allows for executing services with reduced #capabilities and #permissions for #security. Has everyone ever investigated what the cost is, in terms of performance and such, when these protections are maximized within the needs of these services.

I know that, for example, user-namespaces have their own drawbacks but need to be available for some protections to be possible.

Is it all worth the cost?

Is there any insight on any of this?

I'm not American, but I can't quite grasp how you manage to maintain a single vote per citizen if you don't have voter-ID. Like .. if I would visit every voting station, do you notice? Is there some registration? Can you prevent this or how would you possibly correct for it when counting?

I dunno .. just thinking out loud.
