The tax for electric cars is normally £200 after the first year or £20 for electric cars older than 2017.

We saw all incoming traffic to our app drop to zero at about 15:45. I wonder how long this one will take to fix.

I was using the asn1bean Java library yesterday funnily enough. I'm sure it's fine for X.509 stuff, however lucky me got to use it with the more obscure parts of X.400. It's lackin…

It wasn't the first computer they've made, or at least had their name on[1]. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_Micro

Actually Unicode has something for character creation: 'IDS', or Ideographic Description Sequence. For example, the Chinese character for the word Biang[1] can be describe with: ⿺辶…

> What's now really missing is from sourceware binutils: fine grained control of the versions of the symbols to use while creating binaries. I did actually prototype an idea for at…

I did receive a notification from Microsoft of a suspicous login about a week ago. The password for that account was a relatively strong one (upper/lower case, numbers and some sym…

> Those other processes with the tightest sandbox possible... I guess I should get really around to getting the nvidia-vaapi-driver to work inside the decode sandbox, rather than r…

Funny coincidence, I was just watching a video on the history of trackers yesterday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roBkg-iPrbw

The B1M Youtube channel did a video[1] featuring this plant the other day which goes into some of the delays they had. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyQMNVSxbNo

Most kettles in the UK are 3kW, which is right at the limit of how much you can draw from a regular socket with a 13A fuse.

I found SMTP2GO has a pretty good free tier, at 1000/month. https://www.smtp2go.com

I'm using Enpass, which mostly works fine. However, they've recently moved to a subscription model which is unfortunate, where-as I bought the Android version a while ago which gav…

Regarding the video decode support in Firefox, I've got a working solution to that (a VA-API implementation backed by NVDEC). Just waiting for some Firefox patches to land to relea…

I actually wrote a UEFI boot loader a few weeks ago that loads the kernel, initramfs and command line directly from a file on the root fs. It uses the efifs project to let it load …

Interesting. I've always wondered why there wasn't an addition in/out fd pair for communicating with the previous/next program in a chain of pipe, e.g: foo | bar STDOUT --> STDIN A…

I'm really hoping they rename the ship, Ever Grounded.

There's Bridget[1], a non-overlay network for k8s that can use/create a VLAN over a network adapter (or just use the network adapter directly). [1] https://github.com/kvaps/bridget…

I'm not sure HN will even allow emojis: Burrito: Taco: edit No, it stripped those :'(.

The CPU only has 8 lanes of PCIe. It's using a PCIe switch to get the rest of the lanes. USB is also connected via the PCIe switch. The ethernet adapter is connected directly to th…

Well, they've finally got the right form factor, but that price is...expensive, esp. considering it's not got much more than a Raspberry PI 4 Compute Module + I/O board which is ab…

I doubt it's a limit of the CPU. It might be a limit of the method used to connect the PCIe component to the CPU (the SCB bus on the PI IIRC). The device tree file does contain the…

I was thinking you could use a PCIe Non-Transparent Bridge IC to connect all the PI's together. However those sort of chips aren't cheap, and it would only be a ~5x speed increase …
