• Memory-safe sudo to become the default in Ubuntu

  The Lennart post about it explain it https://mastodon.social/@pid_eins/112353324518585654 He was comparing to "normal" sudo, but sudo-rs have the same problems he highlighted anyway. - Source: Hacker News / 11 days ago

• Memory-safe sudo to become the default in Ubuntu

  I think this post explains why much better than I can: https://mastodon.social/@pid_eins/112353324518585654. So yes, I am not saying that privilege escalation bugs are impossible if you have a different architecture, but like Lennart argues is that it makes them much more difficult to happen, especially because creating a proper setuid is difficult. Also there is a bunch of things that makes sudo especially tricky... - Source: Hacker News / 11 days ago

• Faster sorting with SIMD CUDA intrinsics

  I don't -- unfortunately not too well-versed in this field! But I was a bit fascinated with SWAR after I randomly thought of how to prefix-sum with int multiplication, later finding out that it is indeed an old trick as I suspected: https://mastodon.social/@dougall/109913251096277108 As for 64-bit... well, I mostly avoid using high-end GPUs, but I was of the impression that i64 is just simulated. - Source: Hacker News / 11 days ago

• The vocal effects of Daft Punk

  Marc added some extra flavor https://mastodon.social/@marcedwards/114454783708869207 > This article is the longest piece I’ve published on Bjango’s site, and it took a couple of years of research. I purchased around 25 pieces of music gear. I emailed Imogen Heap, and to my surprise, someone from her team got back to me and confirmed the exact harmonizer used on Hide and Seek. > It’s been a huge effort,... - Source: Hacker News / 12 days ago

• AV1 tool to auto compress old video files for archive

  Alternatively, if your Internet connection can handle it, you could upload your videos to a cloud service that processes them for you. For example, Amazon's AWS has a transcoding service called Elastic, which charges 3 cents per minute of video (half of that if it's lower than 720p). Might be worth the reduced time and effort for business use. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Converting Video Audio To A File Using AWS?

  If you're looking for an AWS specific solution, check out Amazon Elastic Transcoder. I think it'll do what you want with a pipeline and you can do it serverless. Source: over 2 years ago

• Cloud computing noob question(s)!

  If you use https://aws.amazon.com/elastictranscoder/ then you don’t need a computer, it’s a managed service, get your files to s3 somehow and thats it. There are some other services from other providers that can do the same too, I strongly encourage to look into that, unless you have specific encoding specs that you can’t do somewhere.

• Where should i compress the video

  However compressing on the server is the better option in case you want to generate gifs, thumbnails, and different sizes and formats of the video. A lot of big video streaming companies will use something like Amazons media convert. Source: over 3 years ago

• Scaling node.js backend service (Help to choose perfect design pattern and tools)

  This is how I'd do it, but instead of using EC2 for step 5 I'd look into Elastic Transcoder. Source: over 3 years ago
