V now supports 3 more architectures:
- loongarch64
- riscv32
- s390x (IBM Z)
I always find it a bit surprising that "looking up executables in PATH" isn't implemented in one central place (there are at least 3 implementations that I use regularly: in libc, my shell, in Go, and probably more that I don't know about)
it's a weird thing because there are actually many different implementations, but I think in general the implementations act similarly enough that you can pretend there's only 1 implementation, I've never actually run into a problem caused by this

Hey fedi, if someone knows how to correctly define parallelized instructions in Ghidra's SLEIGH, well, I'm more than interested !
Or if you are aware of any decent documentation on how to define parallelized instructions in SLEIGH and want to share some pointers, that would be awesome too 😊
Types of codebases my customers send me:
- Enterprise javabean factory factory... on a SIM card
- C# programmer retasked to write an authenticated bootloader in C for an arm platform with no training
- Beautiful well-written, easy-to-read C by an experienced systems programmer, with one mind-blowing 100-out-of-100-risk-severity bug buried in miscutils.c
- There is a hermit monk in a cave in Czechia. Once every three years, he emerges with a new revision of the codebase. It is horrifying spaghetti logic that repulses the human soul, but no matter how long and how hard you look, you can't actually find anything wrong with it
OK, this is crazy. I (think) I have finally found a clue as to what is causing the web server to slowly choke on too many open connections.
This thread from 2001 (!!!) explains the problem, AND IT IS STILL HAPPENING 24 years later. #FreeBSD

I'm rebuilding the #DEFCON server with the patch from 2013 (!!) to see if it helps.
Germany’s largest telecommunication provider Deutsche Telekom is owned by Chinese hackers. And its managed IT service subsidiaries are too. No media reporting on it yet. Deutsche Telekom (addicted to cheap Huawei equipment) chose not to go public.

@saagar OMG this [on combating footguns]. It's why I wrote this -- to provide an alternative to the footgun (well, really more of a foot-sledgehammer that people keep hitting themselves with harder and harder) :

The steady stream of "how do I sort this 300GB file" folks in the cracking Discords is never-ending. This hurts less.
