    Unfortunately. I have seen some ISPs DHCP servers assign IPs with no particular subnet(s). Could be a case here as well.

    I read the current Starlink system has a limitation where if you move outside of your assigned service "cell", you lose service. Guessing this is still the case.

    I wasn't implying that wildcard records are something entirely incompatible with DNSSEC, more that certain nameserver implementations could potentially have trouble with them.

    To quote from the Slack engineering report > This indicated there was likely a problem with the ‘*.slack.com’ wildcard record since we didn’t have a wildcard record in any of the o…

    I noticed that too. However there is realtime translation by volunteers, and they seem to do a good job. https://c3lingo.org/

    I guess the idea is if you're studying EE and related fields: "crawl before you can walk"

    This. Some standards bodies (arguably) made a big deal about client certificates some time ago to reliably pin client identities for client->server connections (whether it worked i…

    Does SourceHut support other change workflows than just email patches or has anyone else integrated such? (i.e a "PR" style module, Gerrit, etc.)

    How exactly do you test your own GPU "rendering" under macOS?

    Talk to me when decent laptops with AMD dedicated and/or APU graphics and >1080p IPS displays exist.

    I wasn't opposed to the 220dpi of the older Macbook Pros (2880x1800 @ 15.4),but otherwise this is what I want.

    I've heard good things about Clevo based designs in the past but even those seem to be questionable now.

    IBM POWER9 supports some memory ordering instructions that (as I understand) would in theory be useful for x86 emulation, but a) I'm unsure if anyone actually uses them and b) They…

    Documented cases don't seem to be common, but what comes to mind is the Debian "weak keys" scandal (2008), and the VLC "libeml" vulnerability (2019)[1] [1]: https://old.reddit.com/…

    Some people claim Gigabyte X570 motherboards in theory have the traces needed for UDIMM ECC, but the (hardcoded) BIOS settings cause the memory to not initialize in ECC mode.

    I have an early Dell IPS from circa 2005 which is 1280x1024 19" and it supports DVI input, fortunately.

    I was able to to induce single and multi bit errors into DDR4 RAM by increasing the clock frequency, reducing timings, and undervolting.

    Although this question is more academic in nature, how "difficult" is memory training/initialization compared to DDR4? I recall an active microcontroller needing to calibrate the D…
