Just deleted my Mastodon->Twitter crossposter, which had been off since I rebooted my server last month without me noticing. It's not worth it if I have no way to see or interact with replies. Goodbye for now, Twitter. Find me at .

This is the real deal. Reverse engineering and writing Linux drivers for everything from a proprietary boot environment to an entire GPU architecture, single-handedly? Few people can claim to be capable of such a feat. marcan is one of them.

Did you know you can use AirDrop over… Thunderbolt? I started an AirDrop transfer between two Macs while I happened to have a USB-C cable connected between them. I pulled out the cable, thinking it was no longer needed, and… it interrupted the transfer.

I love deserializer exploits. Deserializers are unique in my experience: usually, ‘weird machines’ involve memory corruption and low-level impl details, but deserializers can be equally weird and expressive based purely on high-level language semantics.

Yay, Windows is adding an unprivileged hardware virtualization API to match Linux (/dev/kvm) and more recently macOS (Hypervisor.framework): This should make it more feasible to write emulators, VMs, etc. that rely on HW virtualization internally!

So CrossOver got 32-bit Windows apps to work on 64-bit Catalina: Impressive achievement. They have a special entitlement `.ldt-in-64bit-process` letting them run 32-bit code, but they still need to rely on 64-bit system libs.
