You're supposed to use PNG for images of that sort, you fucking barbarian.

Typescript and JavaScript get different results!

It does make sense, if you skim through the research paper (page 11). They aren't using performance.now() or whatever the state-of-the-art in JS currently is. Their measurements include invocation of the interpreter. And parsing TS involves bigger overhead than parsing JS.

I assume (didn't read the whole paper, honestly DGAF) they don't do that with compiled languages, because there's no way the gap between compiling C and Rust or C++ is that small.

Is it true though? As far as I'm aware the issue is that Windows 11 requires a TPM.

I don't have a matrix of CPUs that have built-in TPM at hand, but I'm fairly certain that Intel's 9th gen, released in 2018, has it. It's disabled by default and needs to be enabled in BIOS, they call it PTT (Platform Trust Technology).

AMD CPUs also have it, under the name fTPM, I think.

If your CPU doesn't have a built-in TPM, I guess you could buy a discrete chip, rather than get a whole new machine. Though do check that the mobo has a slot.

As you may have noticed, I'm assuming desktop systems. That's because laptops have had TPMs since forever.

AES-GCN

Galois/Counter Node?

Also, why didn't you drop a repository link? https://github.com/openconstruct/Peersuite - is it the one?

Welcome to Copilot-driven development! Enjoy your stay!

Nvidia? More like Novideo, amirite?

I mean, you can destroy users' data by doing the equivalent of:

find "$HOME" -type f -delete

No idea why they decided to write to /dev/* directly.

It's just an euphemism, "DRM / License check" = "disease".

Nice list, TIL about Ctrl+U and Ctrl+Y.

If I may add, Ctrl+X into Ctrl+E opens $EDITOR to edit the current line.

I believe, these are Emacs shortcuts. There's also set -o vi in bash, but I've never used it, so can't vouch for it.

Yeah, I've been using it on macOS since 2021, then on Linux (via flatpak) since late 2023. Haven't encountered any issues.

What kinda feedback are you looking for? It has one job, and it does it well.

Its biggest advantage over similar tools (I'm thinking of gocryptfs or rclone with the crypt backend) is that it's cross-platform, although the official Android client costs money.
