New comment by beefhash in "Nintendo 3DS discontinued after almost a decade"

beefhash — Thu, 17 Sep 2020 14:51:55 +0000

I sort of wonder if there's going to be a barrage of exploits held until end-of-life that's going to be released now.

EDIT: I'm already aware that the system has been exploited to death and back, so I'm mostly curious if people haven't already dumped everything.

New comment by beefhash in "Kirc – A tiny IRC client written in POSIX C99"

> Why use C11 over C99?

C11 gives you noreturn and alignas. Alignas can be pretty useful for low-level development in particular. Just hope you don't need variable-length arrays because those got changed to optional.

> Or even why use C99 over C89?

Several very big things: Native bool, stdint.h (fixed-width int types with known sizes ahead of time), long long, snprintf, not having to declare all variables at the top of the block (and now you can do for (size_t i = 0; i < sizeof(strbuf); ++i) because of it).

Open always wins, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it'll be qualitatively better, which is what your parent comment seems to hint at.

age only covers authenticated encryption. minisign/signify covers the signing part.

Everything else is either not used in practice or needs to be shifted to a dedicated protocol.

New comment by beefhash in "Daniel J. Bernstein's IM2000 email proposal is not a good idea"

beefhash — Sun, 06 Sep 2020 06:36:53 +0000

Here's the fix to e-mail: Centralization.

You can't curb abuse in a federated model. This is an issue that's been plaguing the fediverse as well. IRC networks, though not federated, have had to each individually ban spammers and other problematic users.

Google (GMail), Yahoo, Microsoft (Live/Hotmail), Yandex, QQ Mail. That ought to be enough for everyone. EDIT: and mail.ru
