Hi, I am playing with making an event sourcing database. Its super alpha but I thought I would share since others are talking about databases and such.
It’s super basic. Using tidwall/wal as the disk backing. The first use case I am playing with is an implementation of msgbus. I can post events to it and read them back in reverse order.
I plan to expand it to handle other event sourcing type things like aggregates and projections.

The Chromium super (inline cache) type confusion
In this post I’ll exploit CVE-2022-1134, a type confusion in Chrome that I reported in March 2022, which allows remote code execution (RCE) in the renderer sandbox of Chrome by a single visit to a malicious site. I’ll also look at some past vulnerabilities of this type and some implementation details of inline cache in V8, the JavaScript engine of Chrome. ⌘ Read more

** Operators in C **
Following up my notes on Data Types and Variables in C here are notes on operators in C.
An operator is a symbol that represents a mathematical or logical operation. An operator effects operands.
C provides a number of operators.
Some arithmetic operators include,
”`hljs plaintext
+*
/
%
”`
% is the most exciting of the list, it is called modulo and it returns the remainder after division. Of note, modulo c … ⌘ Read more
@movq@www.uninformativ.de
I’m not a Python programmer, so please bear with me.
The doc about encodings does also mention:
If you require a different encoding, you can manually set the Response.encoding property
Wouldn’t that be a one liner like (Ruby example)?
'some text'.force_encoding('utf-8')
I understand that you do not want to interfere with requests. On the other hand we know that received data must be utf-8 (by twtxt spec) and it does burden “publishers” to somehow add charset property to content-type header. But again I’m not sure what “the right thing to do” ™ is.
@prologic@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de
Exactly, you see correct UTF-8 encoded version (even with content-type: text/plain leaving out charset declaration).
After following utf8test twtxt myself I now see that jenny does not handle it as UTF-8 when charset is missing from HTTP header, just like @quark@ferengi.one has observed.
So should jenny treat twtxt files always as UTF-8 encoded? I’m not sure about this.
My nutritional supplements aim should be:
- 1 or 1.5 cups of lentils (or any beans you might like better).
- 2 or 2.5 cups of bitter greens.
- 1 cup of your favourite protein (or an egg), grilled, or fried with a little of olive oil.
- 1 or 2 tomatoes, or a handful if of the cherry type.
- No added sugars. If it is sweet, make it have fibre.
- No added salt (or very little and ionised), as salt is everywhere.
Related, I tried wild rice for the first time yesterday. It was different, in a good way.
@stackeffect@twtxt.stackeffect.de
now Apache also announces content-type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Well, that fixed things. 🥳
@quark@ferengi.one No client, those were created using date -Is and emacs. Off course all is UTF-8 encoded, but now Apache also announces content-type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
** Data Types and Variables in C **
I’ve been writing a heap of Lua lately — this has lead to my becoming interested, again, in C. Here are some ancient notes I dug up on the most basics of data types and variables in C.
All of a computer’s memory is comprised of bits. A sequence of 8 bits forms a byte. A group of bytes (typically 4 or 8) form a word. Each word is associated with a memory address. The address increases by 1 with each byte of memory.
In C, a byte is an object that is as big as t … ⌘ Read more

@thewismit@twtxt.psynergy.io @jlj@twt.nfld.uk in old school terminal jargon the ^H means control H or the sequence used in some terminals to indicate backspace. The “joke” is that the term failed to interpret it correctly and you can see the partially typed word before they changed it.
