    That's the first search engine hit I've pasted. The cheap ones that work just as well are single-digit prices. And usually there is one in every toolbox on the shop floor. Edit: if…

    You are right. Not an LLM problem, just an undecaffeinated meat brain and some faulty memories. I've misread 'When PS=0, the page table address field represents the physical addres…

    > Page tables are physically addressed Nope. Not on x86. You can use either physical or virtual addresses at your choosing. Consumer OSes use virtual ones, so you can swap out page…

    Yes, it is. All the siblings might talk a lot about "but ruggedized!", "but realtime!", "but supported!". But in many cases, it is just a case of vendor lock-in. Ruggedized is just…

    The PLC is usually in a control cabinet that can be opened by a control cabinet key: https://www.knipex.de/schaltschrankschluessel?v=2921 Real locks in such systems are rare, somet…

    Depending on his interpretation of the rules about trapped instructions, one could just build a loop in the x86 page tables. Those are usually a tree linked by pointers, and any pa…

    We even had open APIs for every bank in Germany, in the form of HBCI and FinTS. With fancy things like optional RSA smartcard auth. The EU killed it all in the name of "omg, securi…

    I guess we just need the DBUS developers to get their heads out of their asses, that's all: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/6/23/657

    It is fine to have the fragment stripped before sending it to the server. What I meant was that client-side parsing of TSON in many languages will be hindered by the client-side li…

    Fragments are useless outside a browser and lead to problems. A lot of command line and library HTTP agents ignore the fragment part of an URL, so you often might encounter everyth…

    Dislike. No comments means that one cannot use it for configuration. Properties repeat the XML mistake of the attribute/content dichotomy. And trailing commas as a syntax error pre…

    Domains with stricter DMARC that isn't on 'none' are in my experience more likely to be spammers than desirable email.

    Yes, they are a good option, provided you get one that has a condensate drain. Always use a piped drain, never just a tray that you have to empty, make the hose wide enough and cle…

    The problem is, if you feed cold water into your normal heating pipes, all the piping and radiators will get wet from condensation. So you would have to have a regulator that measu…

    It would be a market-based solution if the state wouldn't interfere with the markets in major ways. E.g. many battery projects in Germany are nonviable due to the fact that some le…

    Nuclear. The Schroeder government initiated the German nuclear phase-out (which was later reverted and re-reverted by Merkel). But rumor has it that the nuclear phase-out wasn't on…

    The problem there is the "national imperative" part imho. All EU politicians are hell-bent on ignoring any kind of market-based solutions, doing everything through regulations and …

    I'm not sure either, the forgejo/gitea fork seems to also involve a lot of activism and interpersonal drama. And codeberg shares a lot of the people involved in that drama on the f…
