I am super proud of this #3dprinting filament splice. 🎉 Spent way too long on doing 10+ of these, but I salvaged half a kilo of a material that's out of stock waiting on next production run that I thought was gone after a mishap with hot spots while drying it.

This exploit write-up features #musl 1.1.24, whose oldmalloc (dlmalloc-like) was used to convert the exploitable bug in the application into an arbitrary write primitive.
musl 1.2.1 or later, with mallocng, would probably have rendered this non-exploitable or would have at least required non-malloc-based approaches to exploiting the initial application bug.

Wow, TIL for OpenSCAD:
"git stash" and "git stash pop" are immediately reflected in in the preview window.
Of course this makes total sense, but I'd never realized this before.
This is huge for seeing "what have I changed?" to document it in a commit message, or to verify that refactorings don't affect output, etc.

Came across this again while reviewing some code in #musl iconv: the standard legacy encoding for Korean, EUC-KR/CP949, is grossly underdocumented. Unlike a most other CJK encodings, Wikipedia has basically no information on the actual encoding structure, and WHATWG chooses to specify it as an arbitrary table completely disregarding the structure.
So, a little thread on it, so it's written down somewhere. Maybe someday someone will write a proper article.

@glyph @miss_rodent Multiple platforms are only multiple dev targets if you're in a 1980s-mindset of #ifdef hell everywhere. If instead you write portable code to the specs not to "works on my machine", and probe for things rather than enumerating a million build combinatorics, supporting a multitude of different systems is not any harder than supporting one.

I'm at #ERRF and I think myself and the 3 others in my party were the only masked folks I saw all day. 🤔 Not looking forward to the wave of FAFO superspreader event wakeup in a few days... 🤦

Streamlined theaters of ‘moderne’ movie magic
“Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness.” – Frank Gehry – Source: brainyquote.com
Listed below are some of the nation’s most iconic movie theaters that feature Streamline Moderne architecture. Related to art deco, Streamline Moderne was employed principally in the 1930s and 40s as a more economical alternative due to the advent of the Great Depression and World War II. It served as a transitional design between art deco and mid-century modern and is often portrayed through sleekness and curvature to portray a sense of aerodynamics and speed.
As the images below attest, the Streamline Moderne style of architecture can also include a hearty salute towards the heavens with pylon towers extending skyward. While the theaters are listed by year of completion, as the Alex Theatre below notes, the tower adornment may have been added at a later date.
Normal Theatre (1938) in Normal, Illinois – Source: en.wikipedia.orgTo this avid fan of theaters (or “theatres”), the Tower Theatre in Sacramento, the Alex Theatre in Glendale, California, the Normal Theatre in Illinois, and the Academy Theatre in Inglewood, California are among the most visually breathtaking structures in the nation. Fortunately for all of us, a number of these dynamic structures have been preserved through preservation efforts and/or adaptive reuse, though many are no longer utilized solely as theaters.
Academy Theatre (1939) – Inglewood California ~ 125 foot tall pylon tower – The tower and building still exist as a church, though the spiral portions of the tower have been redesigned. Source: Facebook.comEnjoy the magical images throughout the post as representations of this most fascinating design. Peace!

Streamlined theaters of ‘moderne’ movie magic
“Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness.” – Frank Gehry – Source: brainyquote.com
Listed below are some of the nation’s most iconic movie theaters that feature Streamline Moderne architecture. Related to art deco, Streamline Moderne was employed principally in the 1930s and 40s as a more economical alternative due to the advent of the Great Depression and World War II. It served as a transitional design between art deco and mid-century modern and is often portrayed through sleekness and curvature to portray a sense of aerodynamics and speed.
As the images below attest, the Streamline Moderne style of architecture can also include a hearty salute towards the heavens with pylon towers extending skyward. While the theaters are listed by year of completion, as the Alex Theatre below notes, the tower adornment may have been added at a later date.
Normal Theatre (1938) in Normal, Illinois – Source: en.wikipedia.orgTo this avid fan of theaters (or “theatres”), the Tower Theatre in Sacramento, the Alex Theatre in Glendale, California, the Normal Theatre in Illinois, and the Academy Theatre in Inglewood, California are among the most visually breathtaking structures in the nation. Fortunately for all of us, a number of these dynamic structures have been preserved through preservation efforts and/or adaptive reuse, though many are no longer utilized solely as theaters.
Academy Theatre (1939) – Inglewood California ~ 125 foot tall pylon tower – The tower and building still exist as a church, though the spiral portions of the tower have been redesigned. Source: Facebook.comEnjoy the magical images throughout the post as representations of this most fascinating design. Peace!
