We saw all incoming traffic to our app drop to zero at about 15:45. I wonder how long this one will take to fix.

I was using the asn1bean Java library yesterday funnily enough. I'm sure it's fine for X.509 stuff, however lucky me got to use it with the more obscure parts of X.400. It's lacking support for COMPONENTS OF, and a bunch of o

Actually Unicode has something for character creation: 'IDS', or Ideographic Description Sequence. For example, the Chinese character for the word Biang[1] can be describe with: ⿺辶⿳穴⿲月⿱⿲幺言幺⿲長馬長刂心 [1] https://en.wikipedi

I did receive a notification from Microsoft of a suspicous login about a week ago. The password for that account was a relatively strong one (upper/lower case, numbers and some symbols I think). It was an actual login, not just an atte

Most kettles in the UK are 3kW, which is right at the limit of how much you can draw from a regular socket with a 13A fuse.

I'm using Enpass, which mostly works fine. However, they've recently moved to a subscription model which is unfortunate, where-as I bought the Android version a while ago which gave me a 'Premium license'.

Regarding the video decode support in Firefox, I've got a working solution to that (a VA-API implementation backed by NVDEC). Just waiting for some Firefox patches to land to release it. No sure it works on wayland though, not tested i

I actually wrote a UEFI boot loader a few weeks ago that loads the kernel, initramfs and command line directly from a file on the root fs. It uses the efifs project to let it load directly off of an ext4 file system. It's nice to use c

Interesting. I've always wondered why there wasn't an addition in/out fd pair for communicating with the previous/next program in a chain of pipe, e.g: foo | bar STDOUT --> STDIN ALTIN <-- ALTOUT Y

The CPU only has 8 lanes of PCIe. It's using a PCIe switch to get the rest of the lanes. USB is also connected via the PCIe switch. The ethernet adapter is connected directly to the CPU though.

Well, they've finally got the right form factor, but that price is...expensive, esp. considering it's not got much more than a Raspberry PI 4 Compute Module + I/O board which is about £110/$150. And the PI has a GPU buil

I doubt it's a limit of the CPU. It might be a limit of the method used to connect the PCIe component to the CPU (the SCB bus on the PI IIRC). The device tree file does contain the range of memory to use for the PCI BAR, could it be as

I was thinking you could use a PCIe Non-Transparent Bridge IC to connect all the PI's together. However those sort of chips aren't cheap, and it would only be a ~5x speed increase over the Gigabit ethernet.
