Just for the record, folks, this is why you put flyback diodes across relay coil switches. This is the coil collapse spike from a FIVE VOLT REED RELAY. 50 volts and 20 µs per division.

Some people can't afford +/- 33 picosecond timing precision across upload-synchronized constellations. Not many modern connectors, protocols, or hardware/ICs can even properly absorb or track this correctly without adding huge amounts of error. digikey.com/en/product-hig… At this

I really miss .swf (shockwave flash) as a format. Literally a chain of bezier paths. Scale to any resolution. Oh, and it loads progressively with its own virtual machine (ActionScript Bytecode). No modern filetype comes close. Vector video was a special era.

Aerospace parts are not 100x overpriced because of paperwork or crazy high standards or any of the reasons folks often think they are. This is a part that would be $50 if it was an aftermarket dingus for your car’s oil pan, if made to the same tolerances/QC and with the same

Many systems which you assume to have high entropy, do not.

IPv6's header size is double the average IPv4 size without the dynamic options/routing field (40B vs 20B), meaning your available MTU payload on any given dynamic-event packet that can't waste time queuing is smaller and less reliable, though fixed. On top of this, protocols like

Modern computer hardware with substantially more sane software would feel straight out of science fiction.

So apparently the --host option in sudo has been broken since 2013. You could just trick it into accepting remote rules on the local system and get root. No exploit needed. And nobody noticed. For 12 years. Open source security at its finest: “If enough people look at the code,
