The trend of slapping two STT 4-port hubs together is so common, that even name-brand hubs for reputable brands are often this, including the back feed issues. I purchased hubs for…

I like the idea behind ostree and bootc, but I feel that OCI (with tarlayers) is not a good fit. `repack` makes an absolute hash of things, and since the layers are logically packa…

Note that the status on this is entered/not assigned, so it's in the works. However, the court may have required that they do so before proceeding. The offending use does not have …

Trademarks are about recognizability, not about some objective similarity. There's no magic Levenshtein distance from a trademark. However, they are also scoped to domains, so if t…

I agree pretty strongly. A translation layer like this is making an intentional trade: Giving up performance and HW alignment for less lead time and effort to make a proper port.

They have a Ubuntu derivative called DGX OS, that they use on their current lines.

It's my opinion that nvidia does good engineering at the nanometer scale, but it gets worse the larger it gets. They do a worse job at integrating the same aspeed BMC that (almost)…

At least in most jurisdictions, the egress to a gathering area can __never__ be blocked, there is some provisions for delay on emergency exits, but those require NRTL certification…

Two main reasons I can think of: Most current BMC platforms are older than seL4 Most run on hardware that is not supported by seL4, or at least on hardware where it has not been va…

HPE at least makes you flip a DIP switch, otherwise it complains loudly and halts.

Pretty much all of them allow unrestricted access from KMS from factory, tough all of them have a way to disable it once configured, and HPE even throws shade until it's limited. K…

Do we know if this is also the case for other systems that use Aspeed/ami BMCs, or if the key pair in question is exclusive to SM?

I think the idea here is to induce the request to a garbage domain (such as by using it as an email domainpart, to get an SPF and/or DKIM lookup), and forge a response with other n…

Honestly, unless you //really// need nvlink/ib (meaning that copies and pcie trips are your bottleneck), you may do better with whatever commodity system with sufficient lanes, slo…

Fair warning: the BMCs on those suck so bad, and the firmware bundles are painful, since you need a working nvidia-specific container runtime to apply them, which you might not be …

TL;DR: It's massively easier to run a few models really fast than it is to run many different models acceptably. They probably are using some interesting hardware, but there's a st…

Tons of the rolling key systems on the market are based on KeyLoq, and keyloq is a fairly well designed system with a big lynch pin. It has something called a 'manufacturer key', w…

Massive. AD isn't just LDAP and Policies. There's somewhere around 14 services that are involved, even NetLogin still has it's tiny part to play. AD uses LDAP referrals, expects cl…

This is a prime example of "If you make an unusable secure system, the users will turn it into an insecure usable one." If someone is actively subverting a control like this, it pr…

Yep, one of the more popular FOSS CNC controllers (LinuxCNC) draws its heritage from a NIST project, and at least one major manufacturer ships a variant of it in their machines.

In that boat now, weak-modules means you sometimes get lucky, and can reuse. However, since it's more effort to determine if a rebuild is needed than just slap the "build all the v…

The starters used in start/stop vehicles are far more robust than normal ones, and start/stop in hybrids often don't even use the normal starter to turn the engine over. Because ve…

There is, it's a few days old, and it's a non-enforcement from the Biden administration, according to the man himself and his staffers, he intends to let it be the next administrat…

There's a few cases where this makes sense: * The laptop supports one or more power supplies, but with different current ratings, and the laptop needs to know how much it can safel…

I've heard a ton of stories about .io, IMO, they play fast and loose in a space where that isn't okay, and they get away with it mostly because they are a ccTLD. The last time some…
