In programming the hard part isn't solving problems, but deciding what problems to solve.

The attempts by law enforcement & governments to subvert end-to-end encryption are ongoing. The European Commission is going to spend a year thinking about their new "Roadmap for law enforcement access to data", and they are (genuinely) asking for people to join their expert group to help. Here I urge you to join that group (also because I can't): https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/possible-end-to-end-to-end-come-help/

#campplusplus this year is, again, fabulous. Highly recommended to attend.

Are we bleeding out? Enjoy our analysis of CitrixBleed 2, aka CVE-2025-5777 - the "new" Citrix NetScaler Memory Leak vulnerability.

We've been using this mechanism to identify vulnerable systems, and hope it helps the teams that need it.. enjoy!

First, solve the problem. Then, write the code.

Funny FPU trick I discovered yesterday to detect arm64 or x86_64 architecture at runtime

There was recently an article about using salvaged Sun Ray thin clients with a modern server. @bcantrill's response to that article on Hacker News mentioned his story about using DTrace to debug a performance problem on a Sun Ray server. He linked to a paper he wrote for Usenix, but I prefer his extended telling in this 2007 talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgmA48fILq8&t=35m6s

If you like that kind of thing, my presentation "Save the world, write more efficient code" from @joyofcoding is online now! https://youtu.be/XntLynSlYjI?t=203
