Despite their similar meaning and appearance, the verbs ‘to search’ and ‘to seek’ don’t have any etymological relationship whatsoever.

‘To seek’ comes straight from the Proto-Germanic ancestor of English, while ‘to search’ was borrowed from a French word related to ‘circle’. Searching is going around looking for something.

Click my new infographic to learn all about these word families.

‘To seek’ has the highly irregular past tense ‘sought’. Why does the k become a silent gh? And why ... 1/

I recently went to Malmö, Sweden and got some stellar shots! The one with the two benches (IDK if they are benches tbh, lol) is probably one of my favorite shots. It's become my new desktop wallpaper :D

All the photos from this trip browsable at: https://fotos.snee.la/a_trip_to_malmo/

I have some amazing shots coming in from a recent trip to the US of A - stay tuned for those.

Camera: Minolta X-700
Film: Dubblefilm Treat 400 ISO (I love this film!)

The discovery of the longest pattern ever for DDR5 Rowhammer flips! 😱

Join us for Kaveh Razavi’s talk “Rowhammer bit flips a decade later”:

📅 April 1st, 2026 | 11:00
📍 CCG Seminar room, CCGEG002

Abstract:
The first Rowhammer exploit was published a little more than a decade ago on a DDR3-based system. Since then, we have had two generations of DRAM technology with proprietary mitigations. In this talk, I present our journey in understanding the security guarantees of these mitigations in DDR4 and DDR5 devices through significant platform building efforts, painstaking reverse engineering, and creative system-level techniques. The results are not encouraging; DRAM is as insecure as a decade ago while the cost of independent security analysis is growing beyond what academia can do. I finish with a brief discussion of possible paths forward.
