Slides for my #RustConf 2026 talk are now up! A recording will be posted some time after the conference as well, I'll post it when it's up.
My latest article for ACM Queue about CHERIoT is live!
This describes the design decisions that we made in designing an aggressively privilege-separated OS with a single address space for embedded systems.

Followerpower: there are a bunch of online + offline tools to turn PDFs with only images into searchable PDFs.
Anyone who has tried plenty of them and can give suggestions which one (requirement would be: either online tool or available on linux) gives best results?
Berlin Senate employee executed a command that a website politely asked him to execute. The page looked like a “verify you are human” check. It instructed to open Windows Terminal/PowerShell, paste a command and press Enter. This is what appears to lead catastrophic results. Attackers hacked the systems and exfiltrated 1.44 million, 5.8 TB. Including personnel records, applications, internal documents, emergency plans and other sensitive material.
