Saying that (hand)writing is irrelevant is a bit of a strawman implying I said writing hexadecimal numbers big-endian on paper matters for coding. The second sentence, weather your…

Not only the System/390. Its also IBM i, AIX, and for many protocols the network byte order. AFAIK the binary data in JPG (1) and Java Class [2] files a re big endian. And if you w…

Congratulations :-) Very nice shots. It must be a great feeling to see one's own footage in a feature film! How long do you do astrophotography?

It's always interesting to see how are things build in the Lumafields "Scan of the month". The the most interesting scan from Lumafield I saw was not a Scan of the month, but in "A…

Thanks for the clarification

I'm really sad, even if I never met him personally and only knew him from his talks, his software and of course his blog. I had hoped that after his illness he would be granted som…

Sometimes I miss the times where you had a compact development environment, wit one installer. Your source produced a mostly self contained binary in a reasonable size, you had nic…

Thanks, didn't knew that and 11% further is quite a increase and not too far from the maximum possible.

I think this is the furthest true photography [1] with 443 km distance, into the sunrise (corrected from sunset) [1] https://beyondrange.wordpress.com/2016/08/03/pic-de-finestre...…

So no #includedir, no LDAP integration, no log_input/output, no PAM integration ...?

I have seen the topic a bit late, but nevertheless: I have learned 6502 assembler (and assembler) in general with "6502 assembly language programming by Lance A. Leventhal" (1979) …

From the article: "The consequences for a consumer buying a shady USB cable likely aren’t too bad". I can't second that, but more to the software/driver side. Without my knowledge,…

I would say this is the prettiest interface I've seen for explaining seasons, analemma, solstice, ... to someone or experimenting myself. Thanks for the find!

From the man page: Linux 5.14. Before Linux 6.5, memfd_secret() was disabled by default and only available if the system administrator turned it on using "secretmem.enable=y" kerne…

Every of the lightning talks itself had about 20 short different topics, And as I wrote these were examples, you didn't expect someone to re-enumerate them here all to refute your …

None of these interesting as "technical topic"? (only examples) 51 Ways to Spell the Image Giraffe Who cares about the Baltic Jammer? Asahi Linux - Porting Linux to Apple Silicon T…

My method when such a pop-up occurs: I'll vote with my feet and immediately close the sites windows to reward them (at lest 95% of the time)

I am not a HIFI/TV aficionado, but the ACR [1] thing was new to me. I hope it is not yet important for me as I never allowed a TV access to my LAN/WLAN. But with smart devices usin…

I think, not from the surface, but have a look here [1], where the author referenced from the IIEE article has build a submergible sensor and detected (a know) boat. [1] https://al…
