One of Apple's design choices around hardware-backed keys stored in the secure enclave is that they can only be used by the app that generated them - so a key generated by (eg) Chrome for WebAuthn purposes can't be used by (eg) Safari. We have a command-line tool for obtaining auth tokens from Okta that has to handle MFA, so the past few weeks have involved me figuring out enough of Okta's MFA enrollment flow to add support to it so users can use TouchID to auth from the CLI.

@mjg59 this means that the key wouldn't work on the host though, right? i think to avoid this crosvm's usb passthrough actually understands fido

A thing I wish… like, okay, so the browser vendors can't code audit every browser extension for safety, I get it. But like, I could audit for safety. A lot of extensions aren't that big. I wish there was a button for just like, "read the source" that I could click before clicking install! Just let me give-it a once-over. I could look it up on Github but then how do I know they didn't modify the source before uploading to mozilla.org.

Even a "Add to firefox, but initially disabled" would help.

@mcc fwiw unlike the Chrome Web Store, addons.mozilla.org requires submissions to include a source tarball and build instructions whenever applicable but it's not available except for reviewers

@Doomed_Daniel @vees @dan according to systemd docs they briefly did this but stopped because it turned out that in some cases the kernel and udev could race to assign the same ethN to different devices and it would massively break things
(and also apparently there's a surprising amount of systems where the MAC address is randomized on each boot?)

leo,
@leo@60228.dev avatar

@Doomed_Daniel @vees @dan i think they also just wanted something stateless. fwiw if your firmware lists the onboard network adapters in SMBIOS (and almost nothing does bc windows doesn't care lol) they'll have names like eno0
i have some questionable code that does this via an EFI driver: https://gitlab.com/vriska/smbios_patch/-/blob/main/src/main.rs

it has gotten to the point where I'm having to send this to JLC's engineers because after FOUR STRAIGHT DAYS of explaining to them that they must not attach edge rails to the end of the edge connector, they said ok, then sent me a review file where they did it anyway.

do you think Python would let you mix 2-space, 4-space, and tab indentation, in the same file, on the same line? (poll)

leo,
@leo@60228.dev avatar

@whitequark is this question meaningful? a line can't simultaneously start with a space and a tab
is there some cursed facet of python's syntax that makes it sensitive to indentation not at the start of a line?

i MAY have failed to do basic arithmetic and accidentally took 2000mg of acetaminophen. answers online seem to range from "don't worry about it" to "immediately go to the hospital." help

(this is a "may" to be clear. i took 1000mg and then went "wait, i think i might've already taken 1000mg when i woke up like two hours ago")

Man, what a comfort to have “bought blu-rays” for most of the shows I want to watch.

Gone is the fear of them getting pulled from the 5 streaming services I still pay for, I know I’ll always find them in my “blu-ray collection”.

I have been for some time frustrated with a project which practically speaking must use .cargo/config.toml, a Rust "feature of last resort" that the Rust devs seem to almost be leaving intentionally poorly supported to disusade you from using it. Just now I found a way to solve a serious and fundamental problem .cargo/config.toml normally causes, and I'm split between feeling very satisfied and really annoyed because oh my god this solution is so ugly

@mcc can't you do --config riscv-config.toml

leo,
@leo@60228.dev avatar

@mcc --config can take a path (or if you want to be unambiguous you can do --config 'include = "riscv-config.toml"')

leo,
@leo@60228.dev avatar

@mcc it looks relative to the cargo cwd, I wonder if that's getting changed for some reason before it gets read? you could work around this by doing $PWD/riscv32imafdc-cargo-config.toml ig, probably worth reporting as a bug though....?

Imagine I am interested in a server such as Redis that I can use as an fast in-memory data store accessible from several processes at once. Imagine I would not use the SSPL (new, weird, proprietary license) version. Can you recommend to me:

  • A fork of Redis from before they went to the SSPL.
  • A Redis alternative that is open source and does about the same thing

I've never actually used Redis and have no attachment to its particular quirks. I just think I might need something like it someday.

leo,
@leo@60228.dev avatar

@mcc memcached is widely used but it does less than Redis. KeyDB was forked from Redis a few years ago with the goal of maximizing performance, it's owned by Snapchat but doesn't seem to be super widely used by other companies. Garnet is a protocol-compatible replacement for Redis that Microsoft open sourced earlier this week (they said that they're already using it in production internally), it's probably worth keeping an eye on in the future. Redict is a fork of the last OSS commit of Redis but I think it's way too early to say if it'll actually get any traction

leo,
@leo@60228.dev avatar

@mcc if you're specifically looking for "an fast in-memory data store accessible from several processes at once" and don't care about other Redis usecases memcached is probably what you're looking for

leo,
@leo@60228.dev avatar

@mcc turns out that literally less than five minutes after i posted that a group of existing redis contributors unaffiliated with redis ltd announced that they're forking the project: https://github.com/madolson/placeholderkv

Thirty minutes into my coding work being blocked on picking over documentation trying to figure out how to use my package manager, I realize I have a second problem because the installed version of my package manager is too old for a feature I need. Now I must (a) determine which package manager I used to install the package manager [Debian? The other, older Python package manager I used to install the newer Python package manager?] (b) figure how to use that other package manager

@whitequark @timonsku @jacqueline @artemist my working theory is that you have to be doing very badly to actually decide to write a usb stack in the first place and attempting to do so will make things worse
