I've wondered for a while whether it would make sense to split the CPU into a "IOPU" and a "SPU" - The IOPU would be responsible for directing other hardware on the system. It doesn't need to be very performant

This precedent definitely won't be abused. Or at least most people here seem to think that? I wish the article would go into detail what exactly the "transgressive behaviour" is, because now it is unclear to me how far I can

In my opinion, excess greed is far more harmful. I am very glad I get to use open-source software at no cost. There are profiteers, sure, but I believe in the end open-source software will be more beneficial for society as a whole as it is

I haven't seen this take here yet, so here goes: My suspicion is that Prigozhin got recruited by a Western agency (CIA?) with the intent to destabilize Russia from the inside. Key here is to discredit the Kremlin, by e.g. exposing or a

It is not. Even long/"complicated" passwords usually do not have much bits of entropy, which is why you need an expensive hash to make bruteforce attacks difficult.

You're thinking of single address space OSes. I do not believe such OSes can ever be secure given how often vulnerabilities are found in web browsers's JS engines alone. Besides, AFAIK the only effective mitigation against all Spe

For an I/O heavy application (not in C++) I avoid threads for the main "loop" as there is a central cache that is accessed often. Synchronizing access to it is likely more expensive and error-prone than using just a single th

Performance is pretty good: CPU usage has so far not been higher than 2.5% and is usually <1% on a single core of a 3900X. Currently 192MiB of RAM is used (162MiB by systemd-journald, 4x 37MiB + 22MiB for the workers according to htop).
