Signing VirtualBox Kernel Modules

Signing VirtualBox Kernel Modules

These are the steps I followed enable VirtualBox on my laptop without disabling UEFI Secure Boot. They're nearly identical to the process described on [Øyvind Stegard's blog][blog], save for a few key details. The images here are borrowed from the [Systemtap UEFI Secure Boot Wiki][systemtap].

naive implementation for list data structure (int type)
"""
Create a data structure that mimics Python's list.
IDEA: convert each element to a base representation with a fixed size (byte / binary / octal / hexadecimal ... etc)
then, concat elements as a string.
Based on meetup: https://www.meetup.com/Deep-Dive-into-Python-Know-Thy-Interpreter/events/238587475/

Internet Scale Services Checklist

Internet Scale Services Checklist

A checklist for designing and developing internet scale services, inspired by James Hamilton's 2007 paper "On Desgining and Deploying Internet-Scale Services."

Basic tenets

  • Does the design expect failures to happen regularly and handle them gracefully?
  • Have we kept things as simple as possible?
