Two fiber ISPs, one switch, two BFW WAS-110 SFP+ XGS-PON modules running 8311 community firmware. Fidium and GoNetSpeed both authenticate the same way (clone the operator-supplied ONT's identity into IaC), but their upstream OLTs push very different OMCI service profiles. This is the procedure I used to land both, with annotated scripts and OMCI captures.
Four tiny Zig libraries, one small thesis: keep the app shell pleasant on macOS, but move native capabilities behind a boring C ABI so Linux ports do not become full rewrites.
DarwinNicUtil v2.1.2 is documented, packaged on PyPI and FlakeHub, and now reflects the Mac-bastion OOB flow I use to manage lab network hardware.
Using Chapel's forall, my own property-based testing library and Gabby's Dhall lang for characterization records on a dual-socket Xeon machine, lets do some awesome kernel scheduling analysis
Determinism begets fascination with indeterminism. FIDO2 work for cmux, qutebrowser & keepassxc, a 2026 teletype, 20km spring run, lead climbing, and the BCI server rack draws a concerning 4kWh at idle.
Bah! WinRM has a hidden quota layer, some error messages lie, and the fix has been sitting in ansible-core since 2018.
Fresh resume and CV are up. New publications section, binary analysis research, and a bunch of other updates from the past year.
How I recovered a write-protected NVMe SSD by reverse engineering a USB bridge chip and injecting commands directly into its memory — no professional tools needed.
Dell 7810 bifurcation woes, BCI goggles laced up, tcfs gets macOS FileProvider, 4k lines of Ansible replaced with Dhall, 5.13 top rope project, and Norwegian metal in the office.
A complete technical guide to the XRAM injection technique for sending arbitrary NVMe admin commands through the ASMedia ASM2362 USB-to-NVMe bridge, bypassing its firmware opcode whitelist.
Every device on the tailnet was tagged. Aperture doesn't recognize tagged identities. I was locked out of my own AI gateway-- and a throwaway Go program got me back in.
