Content-addressed email breaks mailing lists, as those need to be able to add headers for subscribe/unsubscribe/list id, etc. There is a reason DKIM allows you to pick which header…

And i am wondering what do people even fill their storage with, and why do they need so much. In my case it is ~200-300 out of 1TB on 2 laptops, 37 out of 128gb on phone. And i don…

Late intel macs are in fact crimes against thermal design, but this is no longer a problem on most M-based ones (except the 14-inch M4 max, that one does throttle.). The keyboard i…

Apple's PSCI interface is not a mystery, and there is perfect knowledge on how it is implemented. It isn't. Which is the actual problem, Linux wants PSCI, Apple platforms do not ha…

True, graphics is a better example of a period-correct >=64k work, but the point is that there are multiple things where you don't expect the data to be that big until it suddenly …

The segment model seems clever if you assume that you never have an object that is larger than 64kb. And once you have that you need to care about segment overflow, pointer compari…

Just curious, why is there a login gate before seeing the list of projects that participate in the platform? Usually similar donation(?) websites list those publicly for better vis…

I wonder why were relays mentioned only mentioned in passing and there was no elaboration on how they interact with the rest of the network. Maybe because doing that would show tha…

> There isn't likely to be advanced power management drivers for Apple Silicon on Linux within this decade. Amazing levels of confidence, when per Asahi's last progress report, one…

They don't. ME and PSP are separate cores with full memory and configuration bus access. TrustZone is nothing like this, it is a higher privilege level on the main cpu cores, more …

Apparently fixed already, or will be fixed soon. https://social.treehouse.systems/@chaos_princess/11672546441...

I am not sure how what happened can be considered "being outed", the vtuber's puppeteer was obvious from day one to anyone who was paying any attention at all, it is just that a lo…

So, if star to fork ratio is the new signal, time to make an extra fake star tier, where the bot forks the repo, generates a commit with the cheapest LLM available and pushes that …

The adjacent POWER architecture seems to be used in ppc64le mode these days.

Not sure why you consider that to be an issue, if you need to interact with a format that specifies values to be BE, just always byte-swap. And every appliance/embedded box i had t…

> When programming, it is still important to write code that runs correctly on systems with either byte order What you should do instead is write all your code so it is little-endi…

It feels like a header is the wrong tool for this, even if you hypothetically would want to disclose that, would you expect a blog cms to offer the feature? Or a web browser to sur…

NEC Vector Engine. Basically not a thing outside supercomputers.

Please pay more attention to the point 3 in my original post. To reiterate: their encoding is hilariously bad, and is easily outcompeted by a modem from the 60s.

They stepped on every single rake possible, didn't they? 1. Why are you making a phone call in the first place, your agent probably got the number from the internet, just keep usin…

I was scanning DNS recently and got some statistics out of it. Number of domains that have a MX record: 114,847,080 Number of domains that have any kind of SPF policy: 79,015,942 N…
