OpenRouter map this into their API in a slightly different way, making -pro and normal different model slugs, so you have openai/gpt-5.6-luna-pro vs openai/gpt-5.6-luna vs openai/g…

It seems even worse than that: when you're calling the model, you have this strange two-dimensional thing with reasoning effort (specified in a small handful of random strings like…

Yes, I was going to suggest nat64 encapsulating the customer's v4 network on the wireguard overlay, but their embedded device is presumably a little linux board, and mainline linux…

My impression is that you (very reasonably) treat anything inside the VM as untrusted. If you want trusted rollback, presumably that implies that the VM can't have any ability to t…

AFAIK fly.io run firecracker and cloud-hypervisor VMs. This seems to have a copy-on-write filesystem underneath. Given their principled take on only trusting full-VM boundaries, I …

It claims London E1W for my IPv4 and IPv6 RIPE PI space, and the same location/postcode for my EE home broadband. Generic 'London data centre' postcode? Or the location of the near…

I hack on various C projects on a linux/musl box, and I'm pretty sure I've seen musl's malloc() return 0, although possibly the only cases where I've triggered that fall into the '…

Quite apart from that, an EFI shell that's less awful than the standard UEFI one is an interesting project in its own right...

Whenever I think about writing a central privileged daemon to grant capabilities to other processes, I'm puzzled by the choice to remove the old version of CAP_SETPCAP in 2.6.24: "…

while wait && [[ $SECONDS -lt $1 ]]; do read -t $(($1 - SECONDS)) done although if you're not too concerned about finishing early if a signal interrupts, probably { wait; read -t $…

This has prompted me to look at how the Tor Project's Arti reimplementation is going. They've got way further along than I realised: https://tpo.pages.torproject.net/core/arti/ htt…

Reading and hacking on the Chez Scheme codebase is always a treat and rather inspiring, especially compared with more mainstream compilers and code generators. As well as Kent Dybv…

And the N150 had mainline linux support from day one, whereas I'm not sure if there's proper support for pi5-family devices in a released mainline kernel even now, two years after …

This is certainly the reputation but I'm not sure they deserve it. They've always had the horrible closed-source bootloader with threadx running on the gpu, without a free alternat…

UK perspective here: I've not claimed for $43, but I've used the small claims process to recover £65. They replied to the paperwork sent out by the court indicating they intended t…

I came here to mention this too, but saw you'd beaten me to it. It's remarkable how bad non-free OSes are at maintaining basic infrastructure in their kernel and userspace compared…

I'm really surprised to hear that the slow restore times from tarsnap are still as big a problem now as they were a decade ago when I last used it. I absolutely loved the interface…

I think it's pretty much policy by now that GitHub don't allow features to be disabled by users who dislike them. Those of us with public projects that don't or can't accept contri…

Nice to see BSDs up and working on new RPi hardware. Is there even (mainline) linux support for RPi5 and CM5 nowadays? For what seemed like ages they were unsupported (no usable IO…

In case your first instinct (like mine) was to browse through the implementation, the javascript is at https://github.com/VSRemoter/LuxPDF/blob/main/script.js

This is true for personal tax, but HMRC has been successfully bribed by Sage et al. not to support web-based returns for partnerships or companies.

Another masterpiece of elegance: v1/images/generations supports only application/json requests, whereas v1/images/edits supports only multipart/form-data. (The keys expected by the…

I hope the images support in the responses API is more competently executed than the mess piling up in the v1/images/generations endpoint. To pick an example, we have a model param…

Given serial access on an mt7981, you can usually use the UART recovery protocol to boot a bricked device entirely over serial, e.g. with https://github.com/981213/mtk_uartboot jus…
