@soatok@furry.engineer to be fair this happens more than it should, OpenSSL for example ships default fallback code which will do most of their crypto without any constant time instructions... this is a particularly big issue on RISC-V chips, see the below github issue.
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: OpenSSL does this due to hardware limitations, not because they feel like doing it, unlike matrix devs ;)
@aral@mastodon.ar.al of course, I just genuinely appreciate the project, it's rare to find cool people who build cool tech that helps with world like this :blobowo:
this is VERY cool tech, shoutout to @aral@mastodon.ar.al for keeping the web (or should I say 'small web') alive with projects like Kitten, a simple and straightforward framework that gets out of your way and lets you build powerful impressive things for each other and the world
@aral@mastodon.ar.al@jdormansteele2@mastodon.social At the risk of being dragged into a political argument for a passing comment, I do have to point out that perhaps the several other nations with the ability to use nukes, but the restraint to choose not to, are perhaps going to be fine... Besides I was mostly commenting on the idea that the USA alone ended up defeating nazi germany, historically that's not really the case, although they helped they weren't the cause of the loss (talk to your local history buff about why)
Just here to vibe and share cool computer facts, your friendly neighborhood tech frog. Will often discuss things like distributed systems, programming, society, and computer security. Politics WILL come up sometimes. Video games are cool too :blobowo:Follow for more fun computer adventures!!
