Whatever it is, it's not that. A ping to a unicast IPv4 address in the local subnet won't be transmitted at the Ethernet layer until the IP has been resolved to an Ethernet MAC address via ARP. The troublesome host must have bee

Before I read the linked page I assumed this was a rant about using MS Office with files on your local filesystem. Although that would be titled "How Hard is it to Save a File?"

EC2 is pricey if it's all you're getting from AWS. If you have wierd requirements, colo may be a good option. Otherwise, just get a VPS or 3 and be done with it. You'll get a virtual KVM that lets you boot it off an ISO an

Sharing filesystems is hard when you make users do it in advance. I was thinking of the server end of an ffmpeg-over-ip system bringing up a FUSE filesystem backed by something similar to your VFS-served-by-the-client. Combine that either

I've been meaning to build exactly this for a while, and my waiting has been rewarded by someone else doing it! Had you thought about using FUSE on the server side, rather than patching ffmpeg? Like a reverse sshfs? That avoids patch

I went back to self hosting when Google were going to kill free Gmail for your domain. I have no problems with deliberability. And I have tiny mail volumes. Pre Gmail I was on Exim. Now I'm on Postfix. I used the 123qwe.com tutorial as

My high school got email access for students in 1997 (New Zealand). We had to pay per megabyte for web browsing. There were services you could email URLs to, that would email you back a text rendering of the page. So I used that. They had a

How similar is this to the sipeed NanoKVM? (RISC-V based, software source https://github.com/sipeed/NanoKVM ) From the outside it looks very very alike.

I remember when Java was exciting. There were several attempts at open source Java OSes like JOS ( https://jos.sourceforge.net/ ). A Java applet runtime for the PalmPilot. My thesis on dynamic aliasing protection was based

Does it play the single player mode cutscenes though? My PC was underpowered when I was playing Red Alert. Full screen, full motion video still seemed pretty amazing back then. "Hitler is.. out of ze way"

How prevalent is ladder logic for new industrial systems? Over two decades ago I was programming a Foxboro PLC in their SALL language, which was compiled down to C. Variables and control structures! And you could hack the C if you wanted yo

DIY (instead of the cloud) is the answer. If you're pushing terabytes+ from day 1 on a shoestring, you're going to want your own CDN. If you can manage a queueing system and the occasional wait, run your own (or rented physical) h

Yes, you are being too paranoid. Once booted into Openwrt the router will only be running Openwrt code. I guess there's the tiny possibility of a backdoored bootloader but that would have to be a pretty sophisticated backdoor!

When I looked at buying an EV last year, BYD was a serious option. In the end I decided on a second hand Nissan Leaf. In New Zealand, we're right hand drive and have no local auto makers. We import lots of second hand cars from Japan a

If enough people didn't buy tickets, then the airlines would have to reduce capacity on the routes, and that would reduce emissions.

I've been using NestJS this year and (mostly) found it great for the use cases I've had. I'd rather describe the HTTP to method call mapping of my controller with decorators than a bunch of "add endpoint" calls. I

AirBnB used to be a cheap stay. Now it's often not. Many hosts charge the equivalent of an extra night as a "service fee," pushing up the total price for the stay and making it harder to compare places on price. We're

I'm very happy with my Glove80. I started with a prototype 3D printed model last year: the creators are friends of mine, and I wrote the LED status display code for them. I also dropped the prototype down a flight of concrete stairs

You could retrofit a more modern computer in there. Probably even reverse engineer the radio system and replace it. This would have been done by an enthusiastic high school student with both programming, electronics, maybe some RF knowledg

Tailscale gets pretty good performance using Wireguard in userspace, with some very clever use of the tun/tap device like supporting TCP segmentation offload. Does (or could) tinc use the same tricks?

This was gold back in the DOS days. Software interrupts were used as a system call interface, both to DOS but also to various drivers. Getting documentation was tricky; the Interrupt List brought it all together.

My Kinesis Advantage collection is useless as the function keys die and they won't sell you spare parts any more. I got a MoErgo Glove80 ( https://www.moergo.com/ ) which is designed by friends of mine. It's great.
