You might be looking for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_distribution_system This is a standard way to form bridges in WiFi networks and does not require any ARP proxying. I…

For what it is worth, there is Muon, a third-party implementation of Meson written in C99 [1]. Haven't used it myself yet, though Muon has been in steady development over the last …

I have been using OSQP [1] quite a bit in a project where I needed to solve many quadratic programs (QPs). When I started with the project back in early 2017, OSQP was still in ear…

Depends ;-) First of all, there is no single accepted definition of "neuromorphic" [1]. Still, as a point in favour of the "neuromorphic systems are analogue" crowd: the seminal pa…

I can't comment on the "power hungry" part, but FLAC only requires and (to my knowledge) has ever only required integer math. Source: just looked at my own FLAC implementation [1].…

As weird as it may seem, you should not forget that free software licenses are built upon the fabric of copyright. Without copyright, free software could not exist in its current f…

This is just one example of the "analogue hole" [1] problem shared by all anti-cheat/DRM systems. At least in theory, there is no technology that can prevent exploits like this sho…

I agree that this is a much better option. Also, if you use two OpenWrt devices, you can enable WDS mode to build a true layer 2 bridge. That is, you won't need Proxy ARP and DHCP …

Building something like this was kind of the idea of Scholarpedia [1], founded by Eugene M. Izhikevich (theoretical neuroscientist). The articles are reviews written by experts in …

Well, as at least one other commenter in this thread already pointed out, this is possible with WDS (Wireless Distribution System). However, this needs to be supported by the acces…

You are certainly not wrong. In this specific case however, I'd like to point out that the author, leonerd, has been busily working on "making stuff" to this end for years now. The…

The "code poem" at the beginning of the post reminds me of the "Bit Shift Variations in C-Minor" [1] by Robert S K Miles (chiptune music in 214 bytes of C; featured in the computer…

As you expected, you probably shouldn't read to much into these calculations. ;-) The Shannon-Nyquist sampling theorem guarantees that we (as in the DAC in your computer) can perfe…

Here is a recent update from Christian Schaller on PipeWire [1]. It looks quite promising; it's especially good to see that PipeWire comes with shims implementing the ALSA, PulseAu…

There are ways around this. See "content-aware chunking", e.g. implemented using rolling hashes [1]. This is for example what rsync does. The idea is to make blocks (slightly) vari…

If you worry about artifacts introduced by sample rate conversion, you shouldn't use a lossy format in the first place. The sample rate converter used by Opus (i.e., the speex resa…

Well, it's not a scan, it's a recording from a micro-electrode array (MEA) implanted directly into patient's brains who's skull was already opened for (I guess) surgery. Direct lin…

As others have pointed out, this article is not very convincing. I don't agree with the point that WASM is somehow more suitable for nefarious purposes than obfuscated JavaScript. …
