This is fair. I don't like to have to think about whether a device will be sensitive to fucky USB power.

I had a wrapper script randomizing the timezone based on what `git` can handle.

Hard disagree about built in USB, I don't trust built in to supply clean well regulated power, but if you want it, by all means.

That is a working email address, of course.

I do also program in rust now, but there's a certain delight in how cursed this is in C.

It should eventually load if you refresh enough. I have a support ticket open with GitHub, they suspect the problem is my commit which has a timezone of `-2456` specified.
The official git tool itself handles this perfectly fine, so this is clearly not my fault.

My hand optimized x64_64 assembly implementation of MD5 is faster than OpenSSL's, and my RIPEMD160 implementation (which OpenSSL doesn't have an assembly version of) smokes OpenSSL with nearly double the throughput. 💅

This is both hate speech and stochastic terrorism.
The objective _is_ to get us killed.

It's seemed fine to me, but maybe that's only because I fly British Airways in and out of Terminal 5.

I'm an openly nonbinary Principal Security Engineer, regarded by my team as the world class expert in my niche that I am. 💅

There is no way to ask me about my sex assigned at birth that will not elicit a "none of your fucking business" response.
I have no official record of it in any case.

I mean, my team would probably love it, but the lawyers I talk to might take me less seriously.

Nothing, as far as I'm concerned, but some people are boring.

From Samir Talwar:
This is the same GitHub where any commit on any fork is accessible in the original repository, right?
I wonder if you can brick someone else's repo by forking, without even opening a PR…

I identify as a problem, apparently GitHub's today.

They don't seem to appreciate the humor of an email address that is also a shell command injection attempt or the time zone of -2456.

I didn't say they did, I said "...I consider myself..."

As a nonbinary person I consider myself not female and not male and therefore an nth gender, for n ≥ 3, but I will use whichever facilities I feel most comfortable in.

I don't have much experience with assembly golf, so I find it hard to believe this can't be beaten.

I posted my 164 byte solution, and I spent a few hours trying to shave off another byte from there with no success.

Patching the SSH daemon to deny access based on the client id string and algorithm support seems to be sufficient to stop bots for the moment.
They're mostly just an annoyance, though. Noise in the logs.

Have to do a bunch of bookkeeping that the TCP stack would otherwise do for you?

Also, it picks arbitrary ports for the actual transfer, and therefore requires a NAT helper.

It wasn't the best option, just the only option.

I recently learned that TFTP is just about as daft.

I gave a twentysomething software engineer a crash course on the protocol stack and socket api layers about two years ago.
Once the service was online:
"Ryan, there are so many connections that never see a request, is my code broken?"
I had them start a server with no firewall and watch tcpdump…
