> Okay, so now we know how to edit a BCD file. But what do we put in there? This was the trickiest part of this exploit chain, as you get very little feedback when things go wrong. Recall the bug we are trying to reproduce: We want the bootloader to attempt to boot from our BitLocker partition, fail, and then trigger a PXE soft reboot into our controlled OS.

> The easiest way to get this working has three parts:

> Get the original BCD from the victim’s device. This ensures the configuration matches the specific partition GUIDs. You can do that by shift-rebooting Windows, going “Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Command Prompt”, mounting the boot partition, and copying its contents to a USB drive. Or, be more advanced and use an SMB mount, if you don’t have USB access.

Do I understand it correctly that to bypass the encryption you need access to the decrypted contents of the encrypted disk? Did the original exploit guess the layout of the partitions instead?

Last I heard we were 1-2 orders of magnitude away from the error correction break even point for noise performance; that point where it would take an infinite number of noisy qubits to break 2048 bit RSA. So does this mean that we are still at an error rate of something like 10%?

I don't know if it would come with the deal, but Bytedance web crawler is known to be the one with top number of requests per day among AI crawlers (src: https://blog.cloudflare.com/declaring-your-aindependence-blo... ) I guess one of Perplexity challenges is to have their own web index and of course that starts with having a powerful crawler. Also having a powerful crawler is useful for capturing tokens to train models. If that technology comes with the deal, it makes perfect sense for Perplexity to acquire them.

https://flox.dev/docs/cookbook/languages/rust/

That describes how to get set up with Rust. Long story short, cargo depends on a linker and brings it along, but doesn’t expose it to other programs via PATH. If there are build scripts that call out to rustc or a linker directly then you need to explicitly install one. This is intentional, but yeah it can be surprising when you get an error about not finding a linker.

You also need libiconv on macOS for reasons, but all of this is described in the link above.

So when I visit my did:plc at https://plc.directory/did:plc:i3gjwozl32eq3j3ejyw44hh4 It has a reference to alsoKnownAs: ["at://evbogue.com"]. And that is _not_ my did:web. That is a reference to the dns txt record that I used to verify my account and lose the subdomain evbogue.bsky.app that I had before.

If I was to upload a document like yours at https://retr0.id/.well-known/did.json

How do I configure Bluesky's social application to reference my did document at https://evbogue.com/.well-known/did.json (which doesn't exist yet) and have that be how people find my posts on Bluesky? Even if my selfhosted did document points to "https://shimeji.us-east.host.bsky.network" as my PDS?

Could I use this to host my stuff at many PDSes?

Sorry if I seemed confused. I listened the whole podcast and didn't realize alsoKnownAs is different than did:web.
If you're using the term "value" to refer to monetary value, yes. If you're using it to refer to some other kind of value, it probably isn't relevant to the viability of the proposed merge.
Issues in building your own physical data center (based on a 15MW location some people I know built):
1 - thermal. To get your PUE down below say 1.2 you need to do things like hot aisle containment or better yet water cooling - the hotter your heat, the cheaper it is to get rid of.[]
2 - power distribution. How much power do you waste getting it to your machines? Can you run them on 220v, so their power supplies are more efficient?
3 - power. You don't just call your utility company and as them to run 10+MW from the street to your building.
4 - networking. You'll probably need redundant dark fiber running somewhere.

1 and 2 are independent of regulatory domain. 3 involves utilities, not governments, and is probably a clusterfck anywhere; 4 isn't as bad (anywhere in the US; not sure elsewhere) because it's not a monopoly, and you can probably find someone to say "yes" for a high enough price.

There are people everywhere who are experts in site acquisition, permits, etc. Not so many who know how to build the thermals and power, and who aren't employed by hyperscalers who don't let them moonlight. And depending on your geographic location, getting those megawatts from your utility may be flat out impossible.

This assumes a new build. Retrofitting an existing building probably ranges from difficult to impossible, unless you're really lucky in your choice of building.

[*] hmm, the one geographic issue I can think of is water availability. If you can't get enough water to run evaporative coolers, that might be a problem - e.g. dumping 10MW into the air requires boiling off I think somewhere around 100K gallons of water a day.

Chains can stretch, weigh more and make noise. This is why belts are used, in addition to being a space saver. The ultimate in reliability are gear drives. Those truly never wear out or need replaced (found in nearly any diesel engine).

Chains were very common in American cars and trucks for decades and they did need replaced after 150k-200k miles. I replaced the one in my 1993 Ford 5.0 at about 150k hard miles and it made a dramatic difference in performance (solved knocking/preignition on hills).

> If, by the grace of tech Jesus, amd gave us such systems at volumes Nvidia would notice, Nvidia would simply then do the same but with a better ecosystem.

Not if they have "a better ecosystem" -- they would continue to charge a premium for that.

Which creates a dilemma for Nvidia. If they would match AMD's pricing, they'd be losing all the money they could get by charging more, which is a ton. Whereas if they charge more, they get more today from the people who pay the premium, but some people are more price sensitive than others, so there are still a lot of people who would buy "lots of VRAM for less money" from AMD. And soon AMD has a lot of users, improves their software support and the difference disappears entirely.

Forcing the larger competitor into that dilemma is very much to the advantage of the smaller competitor.
at://evbogue.com is your handle, you don't have a did:web because you have a did:plc instead. Your DID string is the immutable root of your account's identity, it cannot be changed (the DID document it references can be updated, though) - but you can create a new account that uses a did:web instead. There aren't really any instructions on doing so (afaik) but you can do it pretty easily when you self-host a PDS.

> recently attempted a coup

This is just more hyperbole and relies on a highly subjective interpretation of a single tweet and blithe expansion of the accepted definition of coup. The least generous but realistic interpretation of those actions is that through poor word choices he incited a riot. You can credibly debate that this was criminal and intentional but to call it an example of a "coup" is flatly absurd.

> his party backs him no matter what

There is astounding and readily available evidence to the contrary. I'm not sure why you think there hasn't been or isn't currently Republican Party members that despise him and openly attempt to undermine him. They're not particularly difficult to find.

> despite his rampant criminality.

It seems like the majority of his actions are within the law. I understand you disagree with his administrative prerogatives but this lens is extremely distorted.

> at least 2 assassination attempts on this individual recently

How that implicates "stability" of a nation is beyond me. Are you prepared to label all prior presidents with successful or unsuccessful assassination attempts as being "unstable?" Is that your bar? Do you not see any connection between your widely held extreme points of view and these extreme actions?

Finally.. what is the source of this instability? That he won an election? That's an odd understanding of politics. One that I think is projected by lazy "news" channels that find it easier to market outrage than they do facts.

> and had one been successful who knows what his remaining supporters would have done in response.

From hyperbole into historically detached flights of fancy.

All actual available evidence is to the contrary. The economy is strong and the social order isn't. Qui bono? Perhaps you shouldn't focus so much on domestic politics.

My argument (mostly) is that TikTok is just a random company that we permitted to do business in the United States and we can revoke that permission at any time as it suits our needs and laws. TikTok sells advertisements and people talk about those advertisements. That's all it does.

Whether people share memes or communicate American to American isn't material. We know this is true because a company with the same features and products can be shut down if it's discovered that the same company engaged in other illegal activities (let's say money laundering or human trafficking to make it clear) and so someone's First Amendment rights would be abridged by the shut down of the company.

TikTok is just in the same scenario and has now found itself afoul of US laws and regulations and has to adjust by selling itself or it can exit the market.

The other thing here is that you'd have to convincingly argue that people who have never used TikTok (me for example) have now had their First Amendment rights violated, but there has been no change in my First Amendment rights. I can still use my freedom of speech as I could before.
I agree, they are a disaster. However, I have heard people argue that Honda and other manufacturers have been using oil emersed belts for decades.

After 2017 Ford started using belts to drive the oil pump in F-150 engines (and possibly other Ecoboost engines). I have seen 100k teardowns of failed engines and the belt is not looking good at that point. If the belt breaks the engine is toast by the time the operator realizes what is going on.

> AMD would be back in the game.

The market for prosumer cards with high VRAM and low FLOPS would be negligibly small. The data center market is massive on one end and the gaming market is big on the other. Casual consumers who just want a lot of VRAM are such a small minority of people that it doesn’t matter to the bottom line.

It also wouldn’t be financially advantageous to divert RAM chips away from data center production. We don’t have a surplus of chips waiting to be installed, so building out high VRAM but affordable cards would only take away from higher margin products in the datacenter space.
Well that is not what you originally said and what I commented on. You advocated for confiscation and destruction of a legal product to own in the UK.

Fine the driver, jail the driver, do whatever the law requires when someone breaks a traffic law. Just owning that particular vehicle apparently is not a crime in the UK. Destroying the vehicle as a punitive measure is simply not appropriate. Would you confiscate and destroy the shoes of someone trespassing on a path?

> Cloudflare, which hosts a considerable fraction of the Internet's web sites, reports that 33% of its connections are using post-quantum crypto as of January 2025.

DJB's narrative is a little selective here: Cloudflare has done some incredibly impressive things with post-quantum key agreement, which is arguably the "easy"[1] part of moving the Web PKI/TLS to a PQ setting. But key agreement doesn't tell the parties why they should trust each other; you need signatures and certificates for that, and those will need to be PQ-ready too.

That part is much harder, for both technical (larger certificates implied by most PQ signing schemes are much harder to reliably convey over packet networks) and political (the X.509 ecosystem moves very slowly, and penetration of new signature schemes takes years) reasons.

The people who buy stuff like that are professionals. They often know something about the tools they're using and if there are any problems, provide bug reports that actually describe what's happening instead of some non-descriptive mush like "I have your GPU and Windows crashes sometimes". That is extremely helpful if you're trying to get rid of those bugs.

This is the same reason software shops have found it useful to support Linux, even if not many people use it. The people who do will make your product suck less, which in turn makes it easier to sell to the mass market, which will get upset and think unfavorably of you if they have the same problem but not be as good at telling you about it.
Data center orders are high volume and allow long lead times. You can collect orders, collect money, and then agree when to deliver huge batches of product.
