Breaking news: No one wants to die in a Texaco.

Breaking news: Securely parsing strings in an EFI module is rather difficult to do securely, given the lack of buffer sizes being passed around.

Take a look at the HII configuration-related functions (looking at you, ExtractConfig). Only a string is passed in, not the length of the string. Ugh.

Exercising your 1A rights in the US? Well, we all know what that means:

Does Our Dear Leader prefer the term "super intelligence" because that phrase has fewer syllables? Is the word "artificial" too intelligent for this Man of 'Murican Doofunditry?

Today is brought to you by a combination of #Maybeshewill and #Network : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1nrtRLhvuQ

The imagery and sampled lyrics are quite relevant to today.

Last night on my way to bed. A tired, but happy, family.

how does he claim to be the most peaceful president ever after having murdered a hundred school girls and the school's staff, totaling around 150 murdered in one bombing in Iran?

How about the humans ICE has murdered in the last year? How about the children locked up in cages away from their families in ICE detention facilities?

TIL there's a "KuhZackistahn" nation state.

Trump at today's general session:

One year ago when I addressed the great leaders of this hall, the war in Gaz was still raging. The hostages were still deep in Hamas tunnels. There was no end in sight.

You sure about that? Because Hamas' action was on 07 Oct 2025, nearly a full month before this general session.

How does anyone believe the words that come out of this guy's mouth?

I have now configured the #HardenedBSD #Radicle and #nginx jails auto-snapshotted with #zfstools every 15 minutes, hour, day, week, month, and year interval.

This means that if I'm goofing around, trying to fiddle with something, and completely mess up, I can always revert to before the chaotic mess.

Now, that rollback capability does come at a cost on the Radicle jail: the Radicle node might have already done stuff, so reverting back might cause a divergence of state as seen in the wider network.

I'm not entirely sure what kind of impact a reversion like that would have.

One of my star mice has succumbed to the "sticky ickies".

Now is when I wish #Win11 wasn't so mouse-centric.

Eventually, I plan to write in #Rustlang a #Radicle orchestrator that talks to a Radicle node. Iinitial testing will be with a local test node, but I would hope in the long term to support communicating with a remote Radicle node.

It would take action on whatever the Radicle node reports via its control socket.

Kinda like a CI/CD, but one specific to the needs of the #HardenedBSD dev infrastructure.

Besides, I love reading #Rust code and I need a good excuse to write it better. (I find it much easier to read than to write, mainly because of a stubborn brain and limit hours in a day.)

Though, since I tied the "mirror to github" to our autosync, there may be some delay between when an hbsd developer pushes a commit (or multiple commits) to our repo on #Radicle , and when that commit (or those commits) show up on #GitHub. The work will get mirrored to Github during the next autosync cycle (every six hours), assuming no further merge conflicts happened. Merge conflicts are resolved by hand. Rinse and repeat every six hours until an autosync successfully merges without conflicts.
