Aaron Toponce ⚛️:debian: (atoponce@fosstodon.org)'s status on Wednesday, 07-Feb-2024 07:02:39 JST Aaron Toponce ⚛️:debian: For creative #JavaScript #DevOps out there:
What would you name a variable that holds 1 byte?
"byte" is a reserved word since ES3. Variables cannot start with a digit, so "8bits" isn't valid.
"data", "unit", or "num" could work, although less descriptive.
Capitalizing the first character as "Byte"? IMO, looks funny and might break convention.
A homonym? "bite".
For whatever reason, my brain is refusing to cooperate with me today.

Aaron Toponce ⚛️:debian: (atoponce@fosstodon.org)'s status on Thursday, 07-Sep-2023 01:22:53 JST Aaron Toponce ⚛️:debian: Lavender, my ball python, investigating my space last night.
She was finding some very interesting ways of climbing, so I had to catch it on video. Before this, she climbed up to my windowsill using a plug in a wall outlet. Here, she climbs into a bookcase using the top of a book that is sticking out.
My daughter was worried she'd fall, so kept by just in case. She also didn't Lavender to find her way behind the books and struggle getting her out.
Anyway, Lavender is a very curious snake.

Aaron Toponce ⚛️:debian: (atoponce@fosstodon.org)'s status on Friday, 05-May-2023 22:04:42 JST Aaron Toponce ⚛️:debian: I just learned that #Wireguard will automatically and correctly clamp any private 32-byte key.
For example:
$ openssl rand -base64 32
tx6Kwv9L17ARq8WOd0M3sjm8gKU8bmdoSeBoGTzyEyY=Even though the first and last bytes are not properly clamped above, when generating the public key, the wg(8) tool will clamp it. Further, when bringing up the interface, Wireguard will also clamp it.
See https://git.zx2c4.com/wireguard-tools/tree/src/genkey.c and https://git.zx2c4.com/wireguard-linux/tree/drivers/net/wireguard/noise.c (search for "curve25519_clamp_secret")

Too bad it got caught on the OSINT threat list. I have a feeling this will be a bit of a headache for them.

But your discovery has prompted me to think I might have something that's catching it, so I'm digging.
