amazon.de, spiegel.de are down for me, too. heise.de works, but that might've been cached somewhere on my side.

It seems to have similar ideas, but two big differences seem to be that 1. it's based on git 2. more focus on a truly decentralized p2p architecture

Hats off to you for just saying "no" to optimizations. I'd have gone down an optimization rabbit hole, while never finishing the original project.

TBH I still don't really get how it's different from MIPS. As far as I can tell... Loongson seems to be really just MIPS, while LoongArch is MIPS with some extra instructions.

FreeBSD did some work to boot in 25ms. Source: https://www.theregister.com/2023/08/29/freebsd_boots_in_25ms...

At some point there were LCD monitors that had very noticeable to me chequerboard pattern - like with analogue TV, only half of the screen got lit up/refreshed, but with an alterna…

You'd better be, we have certain expectations from you now /s But more seriously... I don't think that Linux has ever been booted on a non-monolithic CPU (I wanted to say 'discrete…

I'm by no means an expert, but I've recently implemented a small BLE based IoT device, and had a look at the security/privacy of a medical BLE device. Some points: * there's a real…

I hear you. Coincidentally, if anyone knows how to figure out which Intel CPUs actually support 5-level paging / the CPUID flag known as la57, please tell me.

Ah memories... Nmap used to have a mode where you could portscan via a third-party FTP server. And it just so happened that HP Laserjet printers had an FTP server active by default…

Very low bandwidth situations, or when you want to apply the same steps to other files afterwards. But if you're totally comfortable with vim you'd better use ex, which basically i…

There's plenty of options available. A coworker of mine used to print out code for reviews. You can use italic, bold and underline as alternative to colors. Grayscale might work ni…

Ah, memories. I broke the space key on my dads computer while trying to get a new speed skating record.

Thanks for that explanation. I've been doing some low-level programming lately, and I'm getting interested on running stuff bare-metal. Every previous description of multitasking I…

Someone else was mentioning Oklab color space, and I was wondering what the difference was to darktable UCS. TL;DR: Oklab is pretty simple, but is already pretty nice as a perceptu…

I'm not sure why they couldn't put that on the front page. Or at least on the front page of the documentation. As it stands now, the front page is pretty useless if you never heard…

So from what I gather, this is the third time you want to be open and transparent with your sources?

Why even request them in the first place?

Hi Dave, nice project! I'd love to hear more about the low power design. You mentioned going for a MSP430 on here, and the high level architecture blogpost has some infos about the…

This sounds like a job for a lithium thionyl chloride battery. The guys with the purple LiSoCl2 batteries make ones with up to 40 years of usable life

Yes, absolutely impossible to read

Further down the line... that chip has a plastic package. Plastic is hygroscopic, i.e. it will take up water. Even the minute amounts of water from the humidity in the air. This de…
