jstasiak · a month ago
This is a pretty unfortunate name choice, there's already a project named OpenClaw (a reimplementation of the Claw 2D platformer): https://github.com/pjasicek/OpenClaw.
jstasiak commented on Ask HN: Firefox 147.0.2 high CPU usage    · Posted by u/gethly
jstasiak · a month ago
Same here, Firefox 147.0.2, macOS 15, Apple Silicon. "Firefox GPU Helper" keeps using 30-40% of a CPU core.

I think it's not strictly connected to using YouTube in my case.

Great thing about entropy is that adding more never hurts. This is one of many sources — both more conventional as well as unconventional — that we use. If it were to go offline, or somehow be corrupted, it wouldn’t hurt our ability to generate entropy across the Cloudflare network.

What I love about this, the lava lamp wall in San Francisco, and the double pendulums in London, is that it takes something very abstract and makes it tangible for our team and our customers.

> Great thing about entropy is that adding more never hurts.

I used to think the same but here's a counter-example of a (hypothetical) attack based on a malicious entropy source being able to manipulate the hash/PRNG output:

Now, it's not necessarily the most likely attack to materialize, as already pointed out downthread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43391377.

Also consider Nebula: https://github.com/slackhq/nebula

ZeroTier does not use an OSI approved open-source license. It is under a freedom-restricting "Business Source License". Nebula is MIT licensed.

Nebula is much simpler and in most cases faster than ZeroTier.

jstasiak · a year ago
Adding +1 to the Nebula recommendation.

The last time I tried ZeroTier (years ago, I admit) it wasn't possible to self-host all of it I think and I couldn't make it reliably use my own relays for good performance of non-direct connections.

I've been happily using Nebula for a while now, pretty easy to configure and self-host.

Nebula does use WireGuard, as per their go.mod file.

EDIT: actually, they just use various I/O abstractions that WireGuard developed.

jstasiak · a year ago
Looking at that file may make you reach misleading conclusions. Some tun/io code may be use but there's that. As far as I understand WireGuard the protocol is not used anywhere:

  nebula (master)> git rev-parse HEAD
  2b427a7e8934f0a436fea25eb40a6b979b34ee7a
  
  nebula (master)> rg --glob '*.go' -i wireguard

How does Nebula compare to Wireguard?
jstasiak · a year ago
They're solutions to slightly different problems.

I'd characterize it as such: Wireguard is more of a plumbing solution that gives you a point-to-point connection, either it's enough for you or you can use this to build what you need.

Nebula is more of an end-user ready-to-use solution, gives you features like NAT traversal, automatic selection of direction connections if possible, the nodes don't need to know other nodes' addresses ahead of time(x) etc.

(x) except for the lighthouse

jstasiak commented on AMD: Microcode Signature Verification Vulnerability   github.com/google/securit... · Posted by u/todsacerdoti
Tuna-Fish · a year ago
Linux's rdrand use is proof against it returning bad output, but is not proof against malicious microcode. Reason for this is that the malicious microcode can examine register contents and alter the value it's returning so that mixing it into the previous source of randomness produces the desired evil value.

jstasiak commented on Docusaurus – Build optimized websites quickly, focus on your content   docusaurus.io/... · Posted by u/yamrzou
jstasiak · 2 years ago
I've had some contact with Docusaurus and from my experience the Sphinx and reStructuredText combo is a much better solution to creating a robust, maintainable, cross-linked-to-nth-degree documentation where you actually can "focus on your content".

Bonus points if you prefer to not deal with the JS ecosystem and prefer Python.

The main downside is that while reST is well-suited for extending the syntax actually writing Sphinx extensions is, subjectively, significantly more arcane than writing React components/MDX plugins.
