Oof. Glad i only needed one of these.

@oshpark @pdp7 FYI.

One of three affected, no need to remake the order since i only needed a single unit but thought you'd want to know

Can I get a Fedora user to test something on ngscopeclient for me?

Download the latest RPM from GitHub Actions CI (specifically the CI package, not one you've compiled yourself and install it.

Does it report a plausible version number
1) in the package itself
2) in the title bar
3) in the about dialog?

Just fixed a bug causing empty strings to appear instead of version numbers in the Debian CI builds and I'm not sure if Fedora was impacted too. It uses a similar build setup but I don't have a Fedora test VM handy right this moment

Crypto folks (maybe @soatok ): what's the latest estimates on difficulty of real world factorization attacks on a single 1024 bit RSA modulus?

Like, i know it's "plausible enough for a state level attacker to break that you shouldn't be using 1024 bit keys" but nobody's ever demonstrated an actual factorization yet.

So in terms of compute required... Are we talking $10K of cloud budget and a week, or all of us-west-2 until 2040? Somewhere in between?

I have a definite love-hate relationship with vulkan-hpp. Not using raw C vulkan calls is super nice...

But sudden build failures with no warning due to them making breaking changes to function return types? Not so nice. They seem to feel they can make breaking changes freely at any time and don't do a great job of documenting said changes.

IC reverse engineering software is absolute crack for neurospicy brains.

Every time I'm on a project for work where I get to use it, I have to force myself to put it down when I'm supposed to be done with work for the day. You can probably tell how that's working out given that it's 2230 local time.

It's the most addictive puzzle game out there by a massive margin. There's the "fix stitch errors" mini-game, the "fine tune inter layer alignment" mini game, the "optimize feature extraction" mini game, dozens to hundreds of "what is this standard cell" mini games, and then the main "wtf does this giant netlist do" storyline.

If only it wasn't dongle-locked, export-restricted software sold at EDA-tool seat prices...
