    They already added indirect addressing (see https://github.com/adriancable/eternal/blob/main/docs/machin... ) to make it faster.

    Or even fixing the "navigating complex browser settings" issue. They control the freaking UI yet still use that as an excuse to build something else instead. Pretty hilarious.

    I'm took a brief look and left confused. The list implementation seems completely bog standard with no special code for synchronization whatsoever. I don't see any counter and the …

    I guess "Diskless" was defined by the same people that invented the term "Serverless"? That Pi is still using an SD card to boot from. A Pi with Ethernet can truly boot diskless vi…

    Not sure if I understand what you’re trying to say, but Hetzner's Console works just like that too.

    A few friends and me use bedrock in a similar manner to push the rules on a faction PvP (player-vs-player) server 10 years ago: Basically a faction was a group of players working t…

    Here's a project that also does this to ensure cycle-accuracy for their emulator: https://github.com/dbalsom/arduinoX86

    Flight Simulator uses WASM.

    Yep. A Pi 1 can almost play 1080p60 with a proper zero-copy decoding setup. Pi 2 and beyond have no issue with that. As you said: The Pi5 has enough CPU power, so even the H264 dec…

    bubblewrap is a lot more flexible: You can freely piece together the sandboxed filesystem environment from existing directories, tmpfs, files or data provided via a file descriptor…

    Not true. It's getting a constant stream of bugfixes. It's also not "stuck" on Lua 5.1, but is deliberately not following Lua's path, except for some backports. There's also a rece…

    I remember you could trivially circumvent that with „/lib/ld-linux.so “. Does that no longer work?

    That seems like an implementation detail, not a fundamental design decision as it should be easy to change how packfiles are implemented. I'm not sure it would be an improvement th…

    Would be surprised if that’s not how basically all tools behave, as I expect them all to seek to the central directory and to the referenced offset of individual files when extract…

    Nothing against scratching itches (we all do), but that's what literally thousand of existing digital signage solutions already offer out of the box.

    I wrote a solver for a similar puzzle: IIRC it was 3x3x3 with different shaped pieces that left some space unfilled. Some of the pieces had holes and you additionally had three 3-l…

    Pretty sure you can rotate JPEG images lossless. But it’s still simpler to just modify metadata.

    Well, it already has, among a ton of other modules, a memcached and a JavaScript module (njs), so you’re actually not that far off. An optional ACME module sounds fitting.

    Fair enough. Personally I use an ssh target with zfs file system with its own automatic snapshots. The restic snapshots don’t directly correspond to the zfs snapshots, but I can li…

    restic is basically identical and you can choose where you store your data.

    Can't enjoy that without DK's wobbly affine texture mapping :-)
