Once the first stage, extracting a shell script from one of the „test“ data blobs, has been found it was clear to everybody that something fishy is going on.

It’s inconceivable that I’ve would have found the first stage and just given up, but then it was „only“ a matter of tedious shell reversing…

They could easily done without the „striping“ or „awk RC4“, but that must have complicated their internal testing and development quite a bit.

You are observing the misguided attempts of fixing this non-problem.

Or using a certification authority for users (TrustedUserCAKeys in sshd_config), so that any user that has a signed certificate, and owns the corresponding private key, would be allowed to login. No further updates of authroized_keys files needed.

And, to further automate the ssh login, maybe your LUKS container could have a second (Nth) key-slot being a random key RSA-encrypted with the other machine's identity private key? (https://bjornjohansen.no/encrypt-file-using-ssh-key for examples)

But generally, I really dislike the use of LUKS in this case, as I think a filesystem based encryption (not encrypting whole block devices) would make more sense. I understand that this isn't as mature as LUKS, though.

Yes. This homemade GPS receiver uses a simple comparator (1 bit) to sample the signal (after amplification to get the noise floor over the decision threshold).

ARM Cortex M4 supports adressing individual bits (often registers of hardware peripherals) of memory locations as one additional memory location writing to, or reading from a single bit.

e.g., from the examples of said infocenter url:

   *(uint32_t*)0x20000000 |= (1<<7)
   *(uint32_t*)0x20000000 &= ~(1<<7)

   *(uint32_t*)0x2200001C = 1;
   *(uint32_t*)0x2200001C = 0;

Would HN agree that multiplying 2 by itself once is 2⨯2 = pow(2,2), twice is 2⨯2⨯2 = pow(2,3) and N times yields pow(2,N+1)?

The Mersenne Prime found is pow(2,77232917) − 1, hence the article got the number wrong?

{Describing the old python-2 behavior:}

-------- Quote: -------

The classic division operator makes it hard to write numerical expressions that are supposed to give correct results from arbitrary numerical inputs. For all other operators, one can write down a formula such as xy*2 + z, and the calculated result will be close to the mathematical result (within the limits of numerical accuracy, of course) for any numerical input type (int, long, float, or complex). But division poses a problem: if the expressions for both arguments happen to have an integral type, it implements floor division rather than true division.

-----------------------

To guarantee the correct mathematical behavior in python2, one would probably have to write:

    def true_math_div(a,b) :
        if type(a) is int or type(a) is long :
            a = float(a)
        if type(b) is int or type(b) is long :
            b = float(b)
        return a/b

    $ nohup ./long_running_process &

You could interpret this as "breaking user-space", as it's contrary to long-running practice and user-expectations.

Or you could say that systemd is superior as it's reliably cleaning up unwanted lingering processes which may have bothered some before. And this is worth the hassle of explicitly running intended background processes via systemd-run(1), or adding code to e.g. tmux/screen doing the equivalent via the dbus-api.

With a 0OH you'd gain the ability to potentially reconstruct a infinite bandwidth signal (the squarewave), which is irrelevant in the audio case: With a 10kHz squarewave, the next harmonic would be at 30kHz which is already waaaay out of the human range of hearing.

But limiting the bandwidth of a DAC (or ADC) is the fundamental property which causes it to be able to perfectly reproduce the frequencies within its bandwidth (~up to 20kHz in HiFi Audio), so that's desirable. And the "ripples" on top of a squarewave are just the manifestation of this property: If you cut away the frequencies above Nyquist, you get a rippled squarewave. And conversely if you compute the difference between the perfect squarewave and the "rippled" squarewave you get out of an Audio DAC this only contains (non-audible) energy outside of the bandwith of the DAC!

Very good point. But even then, assume that one page of a leaked document contains a large picture with areas around the thrshold value: With the agency being able to recreate a perfect replica of the initially scanned paper version, but without yellow dots, it might be possible to extract the (very few) bits necessary to boil it down to a single printer serial number by statistical methods.

And even when you mask them out so that they are no longer visible in the "all white" (paper) background, e.g. by messing with the white/black point of the image there's still the possibility that they could be recovered with correlation methods in grey areas where they aren't visible to the naked eye or just by increasing the contrast.

But I'm especially confused as why this hasn't been built into Windows for years, especially considering how many people were e.g. hurt by "Autoplay" in the old days:

    You've plugged in a device that claims to be...
