Detecting ARM and Thumb code in binaries
<~Alex> Touched: are branch opcodes discernable without knowing whether we're in thumb or arm mode? how can I find all of the thumb code without first recursively traversing branches I can't see?
<~Alex> like, do I have to do both as I go along or what
<+Touched> you can't
<~Alex> then how does the processor even know
<+Touched> it has a mode
<+Touched> in the CPSR there is a bit
<~Alex> the Counter Pointer Stack Register?
<+Touched> Current Program Status Register
<~Alex> how would IDA presumably do it

A realistic bandwidth evaluation (speed test) of the Cave of Origin website

Internet Speed Test Report

This report is a record of the average achieved bandwidth between a client and the Cave of Origin web server.

Important: These test results are non-optimal due to distance! However, they are a good gauge of speeds for the common or average user, as they are not too far apart or too close together, and the client is in an internet-heavy country.

Touched and computer UIs
<Touched> visual studio code is built on electron
<Touched> everything is a lie
<~Alex> lol
<~Alex> Touched: Why aren't you as critical of web applications as you are of the current graphical desktop state?
<Touched> what do you mean?
<~Alex> Surely the world of program-as-a-service applications was the worse fear of proponents of Free Software
<~Alex> why do you have so much disdain for the fragmented graphical programming options but don't mind graphical web programming really?
<Touched> who said I don't
<~Alex> I didn't
<~Alex> I said you don't seem to hate it as much, or at least that's what I was trying to get at
