       @noelle Sounds like the premise of Altered Carbon. (A very dystopian take on it.)

       @lynnesbian @Robby Hahaha, nice. We have a (Synology) DiskStation at the office, but you know that’s not what we call it. 🤓

       Tried writing a little browser using Swift and WebKit. Pretty easy to get started, but you quickly discover Safari uses a whole bunch of private interfaces to do actual browsery stuff: https://trac.webkit.org/browser/webkit/trunk/Source/WebKit/UIProcess/API/Cocoa/WKUIDelegatePrivate.h

       @alcinnz Ah, I meant stuff like fullscreen, media and permissions. Those are all private interfaces for which headers don't even ship in Xcode. Now trying to get things to build with a copy of the headers from the WebKit source tree. :)

       @djsumdog @noelle Hah! Any kind of nickname seems to work well, though. I complete first names with famous surnames. For example, a Sandra something something might become Sandra Bullock. 😎

       You can now challenge someone to game of #chess over toots! https://castling.club/ 💪It's actually a standalone server in the #fediverse, implementing #activitypub all by itself. 😃

       This page on VM side channel attack mitigations is scary: https://github.com/firecracker-microvm/firecracker/blob/master/docs/prod-host-setup.mdUsing the Linux KVM API seems easy enough, but we have all this hidden danger now.

       @alcinnz @teleclimber @Denderix That wouldn’t necessarily exclude timing attacks or caches, I think?CPU caches, branch prediction, Spectre, Meltdown and the like are all magic to me. What I took from the whole ordeal is that some of the optimisations made were (or turned out to be) bad decisions.
