#sealing

02/04/2015: Yesterday, I received my #hemp calf fiber package and continued working on the #door project. The fiber feels as soft as angel hair, and I really enjoyed working with it. It’s an excellent material for environmentally friendly #sealing , perfectly suited for insulating doors and windows—no toxic construction foam needed at all!

Excursus Story of Calafataggio:
Caulking (calafaturation, calafataggio) is a waterproofing technique for wooden hulls, carried out by the master caulker (mastro calafato). It creates a joint between the planking boards that can withstand the sea and endure over time. In the past, the technique essentially consisted of inserting fibers—often hemp or tow—between the planks of the hull and impregnating them with pitch. Today, cotton or hemp is used, along with synthetic resins or tar. The process is performed manually using a wooden mallet, called a "calker's maul," and a special flat-tipped chisel, known as a "malabestia," which allows the fiber to be pushed into the seams (the connections between the planking boards) without cutting it.

The image shows a metal door installed in a rustic, unfinished wall. The surrounding wall has exposed plaster and areas of rough, uneven texture, indicating ongoing renovation work. A light fixture is mounted on the ceiling, with electrical conduit running along the top.
In front of the door, there is an open cardboard box labeled "HANF" (likely referring to hemp insulation material). There are two spatulas on the box. Some loose hemp fibers are spilling out of the box onto the tiled floor. The scene suggests that insulation work may be in progress, possibly for sealing gaps around the door or improving thermal efficiency in the space.This image shows a close-up of the door frame and its mounting structure. The door is slightly open, revealing the metal frame and the wall behind it. The wall has a rough plastered surface with an uneven texture, indicating prior renovation work.
Two black metal brackets are secured to the wall with screws, helping to anchor the door frame. The brackets have an open slot design, possibly to allow for adjustment before final tightening. The frame itself appears to be a sturdy metal construction with ventilation or drainage slots.
This view gives insight into how the door was fixed into the wall, showing both the structural integration and the unfinished nature of the surrounding plasterwork.

Modern CPUs support memory permissions such as RW and NX bits. The memory permission feature improves security stance on memory corruption bugs, i.e. the attacker can’t just write to arbitrary memory and point the code to it, the memory has to be marked with X bit, or else an exception will happen.

#Memory #sealing additionally protects the mapping itself against modifications. This is useful to mitigate memory corruption issues where a corrupted pointer is passed to a memory management system. For example, such an attacker primitive can break control-flow integrity guarantees since read-only memory that is supposed to be trusted can become writable or .text pages can get remapped. Memory sealing can automatically be applied by the runtime loader to seal .text and .rodata pages and applications can additionally seal security critical data at runtime.

A similar feature already exists in the XNU kernel with the VM_FLAGS_PERMANENT flag [1] and on OpenBSD with the mimmutable syscall [2].

The discussion about the language of the border on from is, I think, illustrative of part of the problem with the political divide especially in the if not the western world

This piece has been sanded and even in some areas been polished.
Its concrete should be cured and dried by now.
So time to add some shine and bling.
By sealing this thing.

#Sealing is never coerced. Don't feel anxiety or threatened by it, particular if you have those you don't hope to be sealed.

This is the #proper way to #store, #vacuum #seal, and #freeze your extra #steak. #Oxygen is your enemy when #preserving your #steaks. I will show you 2 methods for #sealing your ribeye steaks. The first method is using a vacuum #sealer. This is the best way to ensure your packages are completely sealed. Once sealed the steaks will last in the #freezer 2-3 years.

I also show a second method that is a little more low tech. You just use a #plastic zip bag and use the #water displacement method. With this method the packages of steak will last about 6 months.

Recently finished the section on #Indigenous perspectives in my #AnimalEthics course. Wider range of positions than some assume. We watched #AngryInuk, a doc on the negative impact of #AnimalActivism on #sealing in #Inuit communities. Also discussed an article arguing for #veganism on the basis of #Mi'kmaq traditions, though.

Reviving Old Recipe for Faraday Wax Keeps Vacuum Experiments Going

Science today seems to be dominated by big budgets and exotics supplies and materials, the likes of which the home gamer has trouble procuring. But back in the day, science was once done very much by the seats of the pants, using whatever was available for the job. And as it turns out, some of the materials the old-timers used are actually still pretty useful.

An example of this is a homemade version of "Faraday Wax", which [ChristofferB] is using for his high vacuum experiments. As you can imagine, getting a tight seal on fittings is critical to maintaining a vacuum, a job that's usually left to expensive synthetic epoxy compounds. Realizing that a lot of scientific progress was made well before these compounds were commercially available, [ChristofferB] trolled through old scientific literature to find out how it used to be done.

This led to a recipe for "Faraday Wax", first described by the great scientist himself in 1827. The ingredients seem a little archaic, but are actually pretty easy to source. Beeswax is easy to come by; the primary ingredient, "colophony", is really just rosin, pretty much the same kind used as solder flux; and "Venetian red" is a natural pigment made from clay and iron oxide that can be had from art suppliers. Melted and blended together, [ChristofferB] poured it out onto wax paper to make thin strips that are easily melted onto joints in vacuum systems, and reports are that the stuff works well, even down to 10-7 mbar.

We love this one -- it's the perfect example of the hacker credo, which has been driving progress for centuries. It also reminds us of some of the work by [Simplifier], who looks for similar old-time recipes to push his work in DIY semiconductors and backyard inductors forward.

[David Gustafik] dropped us the tip on this one. Thanks!
