    Digression: Nowadays when RAM is expensive good old zram is gaining popularity ;) Try to check on trends.google.com . Since 2025-09 search for it doubled ;)

    It's a beautiful idea :D Imagine then, after many years during some awards: and the best support role goes to ... NMAP :D

    Good to find another fan of asianometry channel ;) I agree, this story above would be a perfect for another asianometry document.

    Nice project. Respect :) I worry only how long it will be supported? I hope there will be small community maintaining it ;) Once again nice project and good luck.

    Interesting how many people already are playing with these API keys ? ;)

    Fear of failure is a stumbling block for science. That's why many universities declare in their charter that research doesn't have to be practical. The practicality of RSA asymmetr…

    Thank you marginalia_nu for article and this comment (word stats). I got similar feeling. I'm new here, but got a feeling that some comments are like bot generated. Such low p-valu…

    Thank you for checking :) I was unable to find any details about it. 30 days are impressive, so I was curious if there is some special battery in Time 2.

    Any specs about Pebble 2 battery capacity ?

    I think the same. Why overcomplicate and just use some online Spreadsheet like from Google Docs. The same or even less effort.

    Yes, that's true ASR-33 was first application, but IBM has impact on ANSI/ASA comeete and ASCII standardisation. In 1963 IBM System/360 was using BCD with digits quick "parse" and …

    For me was interesting that all digits in ASCII starts with 0x3, eg. 0x30 - 0, 0x31 - 1, ..., 0x39 - 9. I thought it was accidental, but in real it was intended. This was giving po…

    Really nice project – respect :) Finding that boot ROM mode by bridging GPIO lines is a great catch. Having a hardwired 'safety net' makes custom firmware projects much more viable…

    I got similar experience. Using Berkeley DB until I found SQLite ;) Of course it is not directly key/value, but small size, simplicity and IO performance was amazing for me.

    I think the same. Really nice project and good trick with hashing tokens. PS. There left 21 bytes (21 * 0x00 - from 0x01e0 to 0x01fd). Maybe something can be packed there ;)

    Really nice project - respect :) Got two questions: 1. How fast it can ride ? If I good estimate (based on max 2750 RPMs for electric motor MY1016 350W 36V, gear ratio ~100:1 and h…

    50k lm is quite high. What electric power consumption does it have ? I estimate around 500 Watt, am I right ?
