I've been pretty happy on Fastmail as a custom-domain email host the last few years.

Recent OpenBSD should be able to do modern TLS, and probably ACME, which would have been more interesting.

The Dolphin is on display at the Maritime Museum of San Diego.

Not much in space; There's almost no matter to convect!

What does the RF front end look like? I see the Lattice ECP5, but what are you using to go from bits to waves?

Too clever by half

I've never had my ID checked boarding a domestic flight in the US. ID and sometimes boarding pass are checked at the TSA checkpoint before the gates.

Those pages both refer to the security checkpoint, not the gate agent prior to boarding. I've never had my ID checked while boarding domestically in the US.

GPS C/A signals are pretty straightforward to generate and not authenticated.

They don't. Analog low-pass filters don't do linear interpolation between samples.

Reconstruction filters in DACs are analog low-pass filters. They don't do a linear interpolation between samples.

'mindmatters.ai' being associated Discovery Institute, founded entirely to push creationism in US public education, is not a great sign for the credibility of this article.

yeah, most of the kernel maintainers in that thread seem to be against it. bcachefs does seem to also have a non-code-generating implementation of this, as it runs on architectures…

huh, this is fun: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/ZFrBEsjrfseCUzqV@moria.home.lan... There's a little x86-64 code generator in bcachefs to generate some sort of btree unpacking code.

I bought my own 3rd party cable modem for Xfinity and it works fine.

It looks like it has MIPI DSI. If you were determined, you could use a DSI->HDMI bridge. AD makes one of those for some reason: https://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentat…

I don't think running on a bunch of CPU architectures is really unique to NeXT. Windows NT ran/runs on x86, Arm, Alpha, MIPS, Itanium, and PowerPC, all with a desktop as a full-blo…

In early 3-slot North American payphones, there literally was a bell that the coins struck and a transducer inside the payphone body.

They weren't based on the same novel -- but the novels "Fail Safe" and "Red Alert" were similar enough, and the release dates of "Fail Safe" and "Dr. Strangelove" were so close tha…

This poster's whole submission history is a little bizarre; Three pieces of blogspam from "Thomas Blobaum" and one thing related to the "Nebraska Blackshirts", a part of a US colle…
