> Campaigns already have strong limits. The SC decided today that political parties can spend as much money as they want in coordination with candidates.

It really isn't. I mean, at a very basic addressing level, sure, IPv4 addresses and IPv6 addresses are just a sequence of octets. But at a network infrastructure level they are qui…

> the term 'query' is already used to refer to http requests in general In what circles is this the case? I sometimes colloquially refer to a GET request as a query, but definitely…

Thread is also IP(v6)-based. But in this context, Thread would go a fair ways toward solving stavros's concern, as it means security could be enforced on the Border Router(s), rath…

It's a loadable module: CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_AEAD=m Using bpftrace to watch calls to module_request, openat, etc., it looks like when the kernel calls modprobe, it doesn't even l…

Weirdly, the mitigation does not seem to work under WSL2 (at least in Ubuntu 24.04). Linux wsl2 6.6.87.2-microsoft-standard-WSL2 ... `modprobe algif_aead` errors out, but if I run …

Pebble Time 2 has a compass sensor and HRM. https://ericmigi.com/blog/pebble-time-2-design-reveal#final-... Unless you specifically are after a barometer, in which case I don't thi…

I think most of the battery life improvement is the much more power-efficient SOCs available. The original Pebble used an STM32 processor and a TI Bluetooth chip, where nowadays ha…

Did you get it in black like I did? My buttons also cracked practically right away (within a day), I suspect because the reinforcements were installed poorly (the buttons are VERY …

> Matter simplifies this. It defines the API layer. Technically Zigbee _also_ defines an API layer -- the Zigbee Cluster Library, or ZCL -- but that's more like an opt-in standard …

Assuming you have an ability to run your whole bare-metal application in a simulated/"dev" environment. Not everyone has that luxury. That becomes much easier if the micro you're t…

The way I interpreted that point is basically "if you don't think the tool/language/library you're using sucks in some way, you're not using it enough". As in, "opinionated" here d…

Various MicroPython implementations, specifically the STM32 port (which runs the PyBoard), expose their filesystem as a USB mass storage device that you can copy files into directl…

In the US, at least the 433 and 915 MHz, and of course 2.4 GHz, bands are unlicensed and widely used by all sorts of commercial, industrial, and DIY electronics. All my wireless te…

MicroPython isn't really an alternative implementation of Python so much as it is an embedded scripting language that looks pretty much identical to normal Python.

I got a REAL ID several months ago and definitely didn't get fingerprinted in the process.

williamvds's point is that the first argument to printf is still itself a null-terminated string, so it's basically turtles all the way down if you're using the C standard library.…

Not quite, at least not necessarily. One feature of FTDI chips is an EEPROM that can be used to customize the enabled features, enumeration strings, and other things. That programm…

> The community has migrated over to Spacemacs I'm guessing you meant to say Doom Emacs there?

Not in core Python, but in a widely-used library, yes. https://github.com/pyca/cryptography/issues/5771

We actually got a picture like 3 minutes after landing. (Okay, a picture from shortly after landing.)

By resizing my window down to mobile-ish width, the "get your free e-book" thing on the right side covers the whole screen.

Not to mention some IOT devices or cellular routers/devices might force a longer minimum cache TTL, to "minimize data usage". I worked on a device that did so (minimum pdnsd cache …
