@rotatingskull 2018: your toaster is now mining ToastCoin for some dudes in North Korea.

Which isn't that bad, actually, since it makes it hotter, toast gets toasted sooner.

The patches are merged into #Linux: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/00a5ae218d57741088068799b810416ac249a9ce#diff-678874d00bf0df04f6f427f16f1dea36R926

Welp: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/01/02/intel_cpu_design_flaw/

> A fundamental design flaw in Intel's processor chips has forced a significant redesign of the Linux and Windows kernels to defang the chip-level security bug.

> Crucially, these updates to both Linux and Windows will incur a performance hit on Intel products. The effects are still being benchmarked, however we're looking at a ballpark figure of five to 30 per cent slow down.

> A spokesperson for Intel was not available for comment

Weren't they now.

FYI If you work in #Security, or you'd like to know more about it, the nice guys at CIRCL (circl.lu) created an incredibly good Open Source Threat Intelligence Platform called MISP (@MISPProject on blue bird/ http://www.misp-project.org/).

Maybe we should tell them to upgrade to #Mastodon for their social networking?

@rysiek Briar works great on long flights with friends. Tested :)

watching 34c3 videos, very blue-eyed
Publication bias vs Talking Heads bias.
This #34c3 presentation is made ever more pleasant by means of rock and roll. The speaker keeps saying "You may ask yourself," in flagrant abuse of Once in a Lifetime. Loving it. Oh now he's taking a dig at TEDtalks.
Whooa! Any more cool boxes he could tick?

I'm not really recommending this video just because I read all about publication bias at Uni. If you don't know what it is please watch:
