DEFCON the fun hacking conference in las Vegas that happened last weekend.

Suckless software does have config files they just have a “.h” extension Having your config file be a c header and needing a recompile is different than not having any user accessi…

They already picked out a interconnect standard it is called 100 Gigabit Ethernet. They can interoperate with multiple different vendors using the sfp28 ports on the switch. I bet …

First half life one in browser now we have half life 2! I guess it’s that time again Mr Freeman

No? The website has units available here[0] in the US. I think this article is old. There must have been a very small first shipment that got sold out before the next batch came in…

If you just install CUPS in a virtual machine (emulated in wasm on the web) what patches do you need to share?

If they reverse engineered the drivers then why do they need a virtual cpu and a Linux kernel to run them. Is this reverse engineering or just installing software in a weird enviro…

A another take on this problem is zoo.dev . They wrote a brand new from scratch cad engine that is driven a custom openscad style language called kcl. Then then have a trained llm …

It’s ddr2 so it is not really affected by the ram crunch

Sometimes these demos enable caching on the reverse proxy. So then for these tiny demo html pages you request, you may not even reach the fun tiny computer it is supposed to demons…

Manned-Unmanned teaming is not a new concept created in the last couple months to placate fighter pilots in the age of ai. With 5th generation fighter using datalink they to use th…

Don't you have that backwards? If AI gets so good that it can replace all human labor, will capital like money and data centers be the only moat left?

I was going to rant about how containerization does not just mean Linux namespaces but that is what this is. This project is very similar to docker with a background daemon server …

The reasoning can be simplified to two things. 1. Linux does not have the bhyve hypervisor ported 2. Maintaining a Linux distribution will require more effort and have more churn t…

Because 2^128 is too big to be reasonably filled even if you give a ip address to every grain of sand. 64 bits is good enough for network routing and 64 bits for the host to auto c…

Well you will be happy to hear that ipv6 has the same thing with the FFfe::/10 network just like 169.254.0.0/16 apipa range

If you software has no bugs then unikernels are a straight upgrade. If your software has bugs then the blast area for issues is now much larger. When was the last time you needed a…

With a standard windows server license you are only allowed to have a two hyperv virtual machines but unlimited "windows containers". The design is similar to Linux with namespaces…

There have been countless articles claiming the demise and failure of the F35 but that is just one side of the story. There has been an argument started 50 years ago in the 1970's …

The borrow checker better described as compile time rwlock with all possible deadlocks caught as compiler errors

The reason for detecting the orientation of the connector is for higher speed communication. USB-C 20gbps uses both sets of pins on the connector to shotgun two usb3.2 10gbps to ge…

One misconception that everyone keeps repeating is that the pi 5 expects and needs a 5v/5a power supply to work. The CPU and all the IO will work as expected with any USB pd charge…

Quick summary of the technology is that there is two software parts for virtualization, the hypervisor and the virtual machine monitor. First is the hypervisor that uses the hardwa…

Elastic as in AWS Elastic Compute Cloud (ec2). Flexible virtual machines provisioned with a web API not rubbery stretchy servers

That's right. Line 3 is undefined behaviour because you are creating mutable references to the uninit spare capacity of the vec. copy_to_slice only works with writing to initialize…
