Fault Injection – Down the Rabbit Hole
Intro This series of articles describes fault injection attack techniques in order to understand their real potential by testing their limits and applicability with limited hardware (available on the market at an acceptable cost). It explores possible ways of using an attack that, in my opinion, is greatly underestimated. First of all, I want to […]
MIT engineers make converting CO2 into useful products more practical
As the world struggles to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, researchers are seeking practical, economical ways to capture carbon dioxide and convert it into useful products, such as transportation fuels, chemical feedstocks, or even building materials. But so far, such attempts have struggled to reach economic viability. New research by engineers at MIT could lead to […]

Show HN: Bluetooth USB Peripheral Relay – Bridge Bluetooth Devices to USB
A delightfully over-engineered solution to an unusual modern problem! Use Bluetooth peripherals with Bluetooth-disabled computers. This project creates a Bluetooth USB HID relay using a Raspberry Pi Zero (or similar OTG-enabled single-board computer). It allows you to use Bluetooth keyboards and mice with computers that have Bluetooth disabled, by presenting the board as a composite […]
B2C billing is harder than B2B billing
We all love a B2B SaaS ❤️. A few months ago I wrote about 14 reasons why building your own billing system (mostly for B2B SaaS) is hard. Here are 6 more so that we can round it up to a nice 20! While we all really do love a B2B, we often neglect to […]

U.S. Sets Targets to Triple Nuclear Energy Capacity by 2050
In order to meet these new deployment targets, we don’t need to reinvent the wheel. Preliminary research from our office shows that a majority of our nuclear power plants could host up to 60 GW of new capacity by building large-scale light water reactors like the AP1000s. That number could grow to 95 GW if […]

Zig Reproduced Without Binaries
I decided to bootstrap Zig without using binaries that are checked in the repository and answer if the resulting zig1.wasm in the latest Zig release (0.13.0) is the same the one bootstrapped without using those binaries. TLDR: yes, they are the same: $ sha256sum code/zig{,2}/stage1/zig1.wasm 127909fb8c9610ce3f296d8a48014546c0f85055115002fb3aba4d865dcdbb27 code/zig/stage1/zig1.wasm 127909fb8c9610ce3f296d8a48014546c0f85055115002fb3aba4d865dcdbb27 code/zig2/stage1/zig1.wasm I can now confidently say (and […]
