Heathrow Terminal 3 Review: 💩💩💩

@jima @david_chisnall @jhwgh1968 that's what it feels like, and it's disturbing

Further Rust antics.

A struct called JsonSolo used to smuggle internal implementation details out of serde_json that they rudely didn't make public.

@alina I'm serializing a static string, but I need some way to reference it as a type.

Today's Rust antics:

A unit struct (zero size) that implements serde serialization to serialize as a fixed string.

Efficient? Yes.
Cursed? Yes.
Fun? Yes.

@skye @hrbrmstr @krazykitty @borup heathline?

Liiiiiiiinnnnnuuxx!

Breaking silently instead of giving me an error when I try to do things not supported on the current kernel version is very rude.

@gnomon anything Oracle does is bait

@saxnot @jhwgh1968 They are not doing this to other guests, and this is only like my third time at this hotel, and the last time was over a year ago.

@saxnot @jhwgh1968 They are not doing it to my coworkers.

@kajer @laund I think you can do raspberry pi colos?

@jhwgh1968 I don't know, it's my third visit to this hotel, and I've complained about being called "ma'am" on previous visits, I guess they decided to address the problem?

@jhwgh1968 They absolutely are not doing this to my coworkers.

CC @kajer

Me: arrives at hotel restaurant
Staff: Good morning, Ryan, room [my room number], right?
Me: ...yes

...

Me: minding my own business, getting cold cuts from the buffet
Chef: Good morning, Ryan, how is everything?
Me: Great, thank you!

...what is going on here? This hotel has about 500 rooms.

@sergiodomeyko these people were charlatans, and we proved it

@sergiodomeyko It's part of a "cold boot attack" run against the device after it has been used. This is the memory analysis portion that reconstructs the key material from a forensic memory dump, even without the passphrase.

Sleep aquired. Airplane sweat cleansed. Massage at the spa enjoyed.

Now to get to the work: strategizing and preparing for this week's game of Boardrooms & Businessmen.

No, I'm not at whatever hacker conference you're currently at.

I'm occupied with being a very important international businessenby, attending a series of very important international business meetings.

My repeated visits to this hotel have countertrained the staff - they've ceased attempting gendered honorifics and now default to my first name.

The system works... and it's deeper weird.

@da_667 @GossiTheDog I mean it’s zero surprise. Took longer than I expected.
