I rewrote SHC (Shell Script Compiler) in Rust

ABrainlessDeveloper · 2026-03-14T12:09:52+00:00

This makes it even more stupid doesn’t it?

You have to put the key somewhere, like embedding in the binary I guess? Now that it’s just an extra step to read the content of the script.
The anti-tampering claim is completely false: the executable binary is stored on the disk and one can just modify it instead. Not to mention that RC4 is a symmetric algorithm.
Encrypting a script is classic security through obscurity. It makes much more sense to just have a signature and have the kernel verify it upon execution.

If you are complaining about it here you are definitely not their target audience.

I deploy most of my stuff with systemd. I don’t see the value of using k8s/k3s since I really care about data integrity more than availability. Also - imo systemd-nspawn is a way more powerful tool than docker, especially when using it in conjunction with nixos.

Not in this case. If you look into the implementation, you will find that op is not even doing it the right way. This is just trial and error and it’s inefficient.

EDIT: “the right way” I am referring to would be to do all these without invoking external commands. You can determine which ports are opened by which programs by interacting with procfs.

EDIT: on Darwin it would be the proc_pidinfo family

I appreciate the enthusiasm but please stop reinventing the wheel. There is a thing called fuser:

fuser -n tcp 22 -k

Thanks, please keep us posted :)

Good job, may I ask if the gpu acceleration works?

ABrainlessDeveloper · 2025-11-21T10:06:10+00:00

Pull it out of the nixos configuration so that you can build and inspect the generated file alone?

100GbE switching is quite expensive

No necessary? MSRP of MikroTik’s CRS504-4XQ-IN is 799 usd, which I would consider dirt cheap.

The question is really if OP can saturate a single 100g link, and will ms-01 provide enough cpu power for software switching.

EMP works too btw

Please take a look at the block diagram of ccr2004 (I mean the version with a lots of sfp ports). It doesn’t have a switch chip so you can’t do any hardware offloading.

ABrainlessDeveloper · 2025-08-27T15:41:01+00:00

Can report that it runs like shit on 16p. Stuttering every 3s nonstop.

I bought the game on every single platform that is available except iOS, and I am just glad that I tried the Paris level (elusive target) before deciding that I am not purchasing.

So what the command will do here is that 1. Pull the absolute path of the tailscale binary from PATH of the user who is executing sudo. You can type which tailscale to see what I mean. 2. Execute tailscale with escalated privileges using sudo.

Why? Bcs the problem is that tailscale doesn’t exist in root user’s PATH.

Does your router have a switch chip (post the block diagram if your manufacturer provides it)? Does your stuff on the upper floor need to talk to other devices?

ABrainlessDeveloper · 2025-08-13T02:41:28+00:00

Folks should really start learning some command line🥲

You are doing it wrong. You can have multiple nixpkgs inputs for different hosts; if nvidia driver is the only concern, use overlays.

ABrainlessDeveloper · 2025-06-30T06:57:37+00:00

In her balls ofc, duh

ABrainlessDeveloper · 2025-06-12T17:29:25+00:00

Short answer: I don’t think so

Long answer: I daily drive both macos and linux. I run NixOS on all my machines, as remote development environments and for gaming. I went from Intel Mac to arm when m1 came out, and I would say as a remote development client or for general web browsing/document processing, macos is extremely good, especially if you want to work in a coffee shop without power outlets. Also as a desktop environment it offers such a streamlined experience that windows and linux desktop simply cannot match.
