I just rediscovered this masterpiece by the Norwegian thrash metal band Blood Tsunami. Haven't played it for years, but now I find myself going back to it again and again.

A Guide to Undefined Behavior in C and C++

Harald Eilertsen

Mon, 05 Nov 2018 10:15:42 +0100

Understanding undefined behaviour is an essential part of mastering programming languages like C and C++. Still most books I've seen teaching these languages don't touch on it at all, or gloss over it very quickly. Those that do cover it in some way seem to mostly focus on the technicality. This three part series goes a bit deeper and explains the reasoning behind undefined behaviour and why it's important to a much greater extent. This should be essential reading for anyone serious about programming in C or C++.

Ramaskrik 2018 - Day 4

Harald Eilertsen

Tue, 23 Oct 2018 11:19:55 +0200

Sunday was the fourth and last day of the Ramaskrik Horror film festival. Only two more films on my programme until the festival was over, and there was time to catch the train back home.

Bilde/fotografi

The House That Jack Built (2018, Denmark): Lars von Trier is an artist, and has always been one of my favourite directors. So I was quite excited about this one. The film does not disappoint. This is probably the most lighthearted film he has made since The Idiots (1998, Denmark), but as always there's a dark shadow the underlines everything. Humorous, philosophical, dark. Well worth the two and a half hour of your life!

Bilde/fotografi

Videomannen (The Videoman, 2018, Sweden): A trip down nostalgia lane for those of us who grew up with VHS, 80's horror films and video rental shops. As director Kristian Söderström said himself when introducing the film, this is not a horror film, but a film about horror and VHS fans. A great film and a great ending of the festival on my part.

Then it's all over. The big empty sets in, and it's time to look forward to Ramaskrik 2019! Which according to unconfirmed rumors is to happen at Oct 17 - 20, 2019. Hope to see you there!

Ramaskrik 2018 - Day 3

Harald Eilertsen

Mon, 22 Oct 2018 20:46:36 +0200

Saturday, third day of Ramaskrik Horror Film Festival!

Bilde/fotografi

I started the day with I'll Take Your Dead (2018, Canada). A big surprise for my part, a film that's both sweet and somewhat brutal at the same time. More of a thriller with horror elements than a pure horror film, but a very good one at that. Highly recommended!

Bilde/fotografi

Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich (2018, USA). A horror/splatter complete with comic geeks, nazi puppets, collectors and a mad scientist. What could possibly go wrong? A very entertaining movie with a great number of fantastic splats!

Bilde/fotografi

Mandy (2018, USA) was a film that didn't quite catch me. Nicholas Cage plays Nicholas Cage as usual, the scenography, the cinematography, the sound and the music is all very beautiful, but it lacks the actual movie.

Bilde/fotografi

The Cleaning Lady (2018, USA) on the other hand, was a fantastic movie which managed to surprise and captivate on many levels. A great flick that will keep you thinking for quite a while afterwards. Highly recommended!

Bilde/fotografi

Anna and the Apocalypse (2017, UK). Ending the day with a wee bit of singing and dancing seemed like the obvios choice. While I usually enjoy musicals, especially the horror kind, this one failed to rock me. The songs are too forgettable, and the story is too traditional to captivate. It's not that it's a bad movie, it has it's moments, but falls short of being the partystarter I was hoping for. Others loved it though...

Another really great day at the Ramaskrik Horror Film Festival yesterday. Managed six films, sp was pretty baked by the end of the day.

Bilde/fotografi

What Keeps You Alive (2018, Canada): Very beautiful, and quite surprising plot. A tad long, but highly recommended!

Killungard (2018, Norway): Some of the key people behind O'Hellige Jul has made a traditional ghost story. It is an amateur production, but a very good one at that! Refreshing to see a pure ghost story in this setting.

Bilde/fotografi

The Dark (Austria/Canada): Refreshing and very different take on what falls a bit between a zombie and monster film, but in the end is neither. I liked this a lot, highly recommended!

Bilde/fotografi

You Shall not Sleep (2018, Spain/Argentine/Uruguay): Another film that goes it's own ways. A tad slow to begin with, but it really picks up as it progresses. Original and again a rather surprising story.

Terrified (Argentine): Well executed ghost/monster/haunted house film that still end up being a bit too traditional for my taste. It's far from a bad film, but I think it hits better for a slightly younger audience.

Ghost Storied (UK): An antology film that I feel did not deliver on it's premise. Again, not a bad film, quite entertaining at times, but a bit shallow and simplistic compared to what it promised. Some others liked this one very much though, so depends on your tastes.

Ramaskrik 2018 - Day 1

Harald Eilertsen

Fri, 19 Oct 2018 08:59:42 +0200

One Cut of the Dead (2018, Japan): Interesting and well executed. The premise is quite different than what you expect from the first 40 min of the movie. Original and refreshing. A bit unlucky with the version we got as the subtitles did not sync with the audio and was by the end leading with several minutes. I'm sure it will be even better when you can actually follow the dialogue.

Bilde/fotografi

Framed (2018, Spain): Another social media critique/exploitation film. Probably misses the mark as any sensible critique, but is a well executed violent home invasion film. Quite worth watching imo.

Halloween (2018, USA): This is a movie for the fans of the first movie, but has little to offer anybody else. Not that it's a bad movie, just not very interesting either.

Bilde/fotografi

Satan's Slaves (2017, Indonesia): A charming and rather creepy take on a ghost story set in a secular muslim setting. It's a tad longwinded at times, but otherwise well executed. The unfamiliar (to me) setting and cultural frame helps the film imo.

Security flaw in libssh leaves thousands of servers at risk of hijacking

Harald Eilertsen

Wed, 17 Oct 2018 09:09:29 +0200

https://www.zdnet.com/article/security-flaw-in-libssh-leaves-thousands-of-servers-at-risk-of-hijacking/#ftag=RSSbaffb68

An attacker can do this by sending the SSH server "SSH2_MSG_USERAUTH_SUCCESS" message instead of the "SSH2_MSG_USERAUTH_REQUEST" message that a server usually expects (...)

The vulnerability, which is tracked as CVE-2018-10933, was introduced in libssh 0.6.0, released in January 2014. The libssh team released versions 0.8.4 and 0.7.6 yesterday to address this bug.

Come on!

This is what happens when you don't test your protocol implementation. Good thing it only took four and a half year to discover. Sadly, that's two and a half years less than the average for zero-day exploits.

The traditional way of coding PHP apps. Code and html mixed, hardcoded SQL statements directly in the views, tireless amounts of duplication and all the inconsistensies and bugs that come with it. It's a project I took over from someone else, but I can't retire it and get it over to a more sane stack until the replacement is done.

The #Socialhome issue tracker has finally moved to where the main code activity happens, ie the #Feneas #GitLab server: https://git.feneas.org/socialhome/socialhome/issues

The server has login over #GitHub account for those who don't want to register using email. Issues are not available via GitHub any more to avoid fracture of information.

Code contributions however are welcome also through GitHub. The GitHub repo will be 100% in sync at all times so pull requests through there are more than welcome.

Boards

To organize issues we have 3 boards for issues currently. The main development board, the bugs board and the newcomer board.

If you're looking to contribute to Socialhome, the last board is a good place to look at things to do. For any questions, come chat to us on #Matrix!

Det er en fryktelig (!) trivelig festival, så om man liker genren er det en god anledning til å få åndelig påfyll og treffe likesinnede. Skulle det ikke passe er jo også Tysvær Skrekkfest uka etter et godt alternativ på vestlandet. Mye av de samme filmene (Ramaskrik og Tysvær samarbeider om bookingen,) og etter sigende god stemning der også.

A Minimal C64 Datasette Program Loader

Harald Eilertsen

Fri, 05 Oct 2018 19:55:00 +0200

The Commodore Datasette recording format is heavily optimized for data safety and can compensate for many typical issues of cassette tape, like incorrect speed, inconsistent speed (wow/flutter), and small as well as longer dropouts. This makes the format more complex and way less efficient than, for example, “Turbo Tape” or all other custom formats used by commercial games. Let’s explore the format by writing a minimal tape loader for the C64, optimized for size, which can decode correct tapes, but does not support error correction.

Harald Eilertsen

Fri, 05 Oct 2018 18:14:32 +0200

If I'm not mistaken, pixelfed native federation will be over ActivityPub, so federation among instances and other activitypub (i.e. mastodon) sites will be coming at the same time. I expect @dansup or @pixelfed can elaborate?

(I'll try to relay any answers since you probably won't see them on diaspora.)

After 30 years of rock'n'roll, one of the most important stages for independent and underground music in Norway has closed it's doors. The venue at the corner of Christies gate and Nygårdsgaten in Bergen has been a home in the rainy city for many of us when visiting. I have been lucky enough to both see a great number of gigs there throughout the times, but also to have performed there myself. It was great to be able to take part in the last three days of your existence. You will be missed!

Many fond memories from Garage - music, beer, girls, philosophers, friends, Spellemann award door nobs (have any actors done that with their Oscar?), getting kick out for being too rowdy (not really, just drunk enough to bump into the mixing table) - in no particular order.
