Captain Disillusion did a great breakdown (diss :) of that: https://youtu.be/1qSTcxt2t74?t=1273 (21m10s on for ~5 mins)

Right. Everyone seemed to be struggling with problems in python now that we’re already solved in Ruby 2007-2010.


Not everything uses qemu. Some do. More use KVM. Not everything does.

Example: https://firecracker-microvm.github.io/


I've found QEMUs microvm to be faster at boot while having nicer tooling and a cleaner upgrade path if needing more features. Aside from hype I'm actually not sure why anyone would still use firecracker.


Mainly because of the much larger attack surface of QEMU.


I can't quantify how much of that surface is also reduced with the microvm machine vs other parts of QEMU vs Firecracker... But fair enough point.


That's a fairly impressively sized list.


The fun part is that for a bunch of SSD drives (especially older ones), sending discard/trim may also tank the performance. Due to firmware bugs.


You still might need to pace how fast you send discard/trim to modern drives, FWIW.


If I had to guess it is possibly something to do with fighting crawlers/bots/etc triggering the detection? And running some kind of more advanced logic to try ensure it's really being used. Light captcha style.

But just a guess.


Archive Warrior is actively scanning all links to try and preserve them. 2.5 billion have been processed at the time of writing

I'd say this project is the closest: https://github.com/superg/redumper

But is not a true raw dump like we see in a bunch of other media preservation projects.


There’s a slight improvement in that the passkey will only transmit to the correct website. Cannot select and fill it to the wrong domain.

But other than that I agree. Especially now that these synchronise with iCloud, BitWarden, etc seems a no brainer you can just steal these and access everyone’s accounts in many cases with no extra 2nd factor.

This confuses me too.


Came to share this too. I used Joost at this time. Got me into watching the world poker tour on the platform and into playing poker and watching other live poker.


That’s only true with sentry mode on. Without sentry mode it uses very little.
