WEEKEND TRIVIA: YOUR PROCESS' MEMORY IS A FILE

Although Unix systems are often described as treating everything as a file, many core functions like network connections and process identifiers typically rely on distinct system calls rather than standard file interfaces. A notable exception exists in Linux through the `/proc//mem` interface, which allows direct access to a process's address space using file-like semantics.

WEBSITES HAVE A NEW WAY TO SPY ON VISITORS: ANALYZING THEIR SSD ACTIVITY

The FROST tracking method allows websites to covertly monitor visitor activity by using JavaScript to analyze the timing of solid-state drive (SSD) interactions, creating a side channel that reveals information about the host system. By processing these timing patterns through a neural network, malicious sites can identify a user's open applications and browser tabs, although the attack's reliance on large storage files makes it detectable.

I STOPPED FIGHTING MY TOOLS AND BUILT A GAME ENGINE IN D

Parin, a custom game engine built in the D programming language, was created to establish a more code-driven workflow and less opinionated environment. The engine bypasses the garbage collector for critical performance by using features like arena allocators and static data structures, allowing for deep memory control, sub-second compile times, and unified language use for all development needs.
