@whitequark Right, correct wording is that it’s _notoriously_ prone to erroneous implementation, especially in C and especially when not using DER

@whitequark “we use ASN.1” *groan* okay, fine I guess
“with PER…” you gotta be kidding
“… and XER” omfg

In Pixar's Coco we learned that the souls of the dead vanish if the person is forgotten. This imply souls are reference counted.

Happy "Russian warship, go fuck yourself" day to all who celebrate.

@dalias AFAIK you can only control this per repo. Or _maybe_ there's an org setting, I don't know (I don't really use orgs)

@dalias You mentioned at one point the musl libc allocator places meta-data or overflow canaries before/after allocations. What does it do for large allocations, e.g. 128k+? (at those sizes glibc delegates to mmap…)

@dalias such a system could also be hooked up to a knowledge graph with data provenance, and boom now you can ask for sources and actually get them

That anyone has asked, but if you want my recommendation for a VPN, it’s Mullvad.
When you go through their account setup and purchase flow, you’ll see why. And perhaps wonder why no one else does it like this.

@dalias It also can’t play any online games if sitting behind a NAT, which is how most internet connections in Europe work. Depending on the NAT type you can maybe work around this by connecting it directly to the open internet through the modem, but that’s kind of uncomfortable.

@dalias sounds accelerationist, tbh
