> bypassing OS kernel

> reading a raw device node (e.g. /dev/rdisk*)

That's... not bypassing the kernel. Time to integrate SPDK so it actually bypasses the kernel :)

CSS is what allows dickovers to work, not JS, and pure-CSS dickovers are possible [0] :P

You would be surprised how adept SOTA models are at reverse engineering with IDA/Ghidra or even plain old objdump. Opus basically knows IDAPython on the back of its hand.

For Linux desktop users. A bit of tongue-in-cheek but that's pretty much the argument that I've heard in some circles ("it works for us and not going away anytime soon - why waste time convincing others?").

Instead of Keycloak, I would recommend giving Kanidm a try: It's much more lightweight and covers most of what you usually need (one notable exception being SAML).

None of which reflect well on the author. The "We're very proud of you." is exceedingly condescending.

Buyers beware: 4-core A53 is genuinely unusable (original Pinebook/PinePhone specs), A55 is better but I still wouldn’t recommend buying. You may expect performance similar to 15+ years old desktops.

Without a proper proxy setup, access to GitHub is often painfully slow from mainline China.

But the choice of Baidu Pan is indeed questionable: You need a Chinese phone number in order to sign up, which is out of reach for many expats living overseas. I don't get why they can’t just mirror it on a university server.

> I think... it builds a busybox system based on desired commands (similar to a dockerfile, but using a REPL?).

I am now very curious how you arrived at this conclusion. Did you make use of any LLM? If so, which model and what prompt did you use?

IIRC macOS upgrades will automatically store a FileVault token (basically `fdesetup authrestart`) before restarting, so the disk is automatically unlocked. It's not a Tahoe-specific thing.

Title needs "(2024)". It's been over a year and whether the blog is still running on a recycled Pixel 5 is unclear.

> How would that be hard? Getting the absolute path of a string is in almost all languages stdlibs[1]. You can just grep for any string containing slashes and try resolve them and voilá

Be very, very careful about this, because if you aren't, this can actually result in platform-dependent behavior or actual filesystem access. They are bytes containing funny slashes and dots, so process them as such.

Edit: s/text/bytes/

Why downvote a valid, relevant anecdote? I'm using the browser extension on Chrome and have encountered being booted back to the login screen a few times. And I certainly want to avoid dependency on my own infra when it holds credentials that would enable me to fix said infra.
