No. POWER and PPC are decidedly not the same. the closest they ever came together was the G5's 970. 4xx and 75x were OK for embedded a decade ago, but today they're hot and power hungry. You can use them in devices where you can b

POWER and Power (formerly PowerPC) are similar but quite different. PPC has been in embedded (but generally not mobile) for quite a long time, but even then, the cores are still hot, power hungry, and poorly suited for mobile.

POWER is about as far from a good fit for most ARM applications as you can possibly get. It's all about shoving a ton of hot power hungry multithread cores as close together as you can and running them at full bore.

regular "app based" is just OATH-TOTP in most cases. This uses a shared secret and the time to generate one time codes. The Yubikey explicitly supports TOTP, and will happily store your secret on the key. You can then use Yubioath

I mean... that's my point. I can plan ahead and pay $12 to have something delivered and then heat it up myself, or I can pay $12 to pick it up already hot and ready to eat, on demand.

What benefit do you provide over the Indian place down the block with similar or even cheaper pricing? These prices are absurdly expensive even for us overpaid tech folk.

certainly won't disagree that it can be limiting to folks of some perspectives, but as someone who publicly has applied the sysadmin label for the duration of their career (starting in the early 00's), I've yet to see a downs

e2ee can be turned off client side (and is off by default until ux improves), and while I don't think it's possible with the stock home server, it seems entirely possible to patch the home server to reject encrypt requests, and on

tmo is a combination of TTL and APN. Stock android and iOS will use the tethering APN under the hood. LineageOS doesn't. I'm presently tethered to a tmo phone on their cheapest unlimited data plan and see 20mbit+

You might consider reading up on reproducible builds. The majority of Debian packages can now be bit-for-bit rebuilt to verify the maintainer actually ships what they say they are.

freeipa has this users with totp tokens can kinit using their password+totp in the password field. better still, if you use PAM for all your services, you you can define hbac rules allowing users access to specific services on specific host

nobody uses analog audio out in an HTPC use case. You send digital audio streams out the HDMI port. Even a low end external ADC is going to greatly outperform anything RPi could ship onboard for a reasonable cost, and even if they did shi

the entire reason the devices get public a public IP is because the firewall effectively isn't there. from the time u-boot inits the topaz chip, until linux controls the chip, it behaves like a dumb ethernet switch.

If I knew of any such patches, I couldn't share them for Reasons, but suggest poking around mv88e6xxx_initialize in u-boot.

sure, but the espressobin has a gigabit switch onboard. and that switch is controllable from Linux, and treated as a bridge device, easily manipulated from brctl. while the rpi3 spanks the espressobin on CPU, the espressobin destroys pret

the espressobin(2xA53) is way less powerful than an rpi3(4xA53), let alone 4(4xA72), but has a minipcie slot enabling you to add a WiFi card of your choice. Additionally, the Espressobin has a Topaz ethernet switch onboard with 4 ports (1 t

some ISPs will happily assign public IPs to any hardware address that sends a DHCP request. This means while the network segments are bridged, all local devices are potentially obtaining public IP addresses and are exposed to the internet a

by somepig 7y ago
Oh the Espressobin. The poor thing has a dozen or so variants, and each one requires a different u-boot image. Fortunately they ship with the u-boot image on SPI flash, so in theory you could just let it be and not worry about the variants.

Fun Fact: Some carrier throttling works by throttling packets with an unexpected TTL. Android has a default TTL of 64. You most certainly shouldn't set the default TTL of a tethered device to 65, because then your carrier may fail appl

This is patently false. Source packages with Debian aren't even a single file. They consist of a pristine upstream tarball, a tarball of a /debian/ directory, and a dsc file that describes the package, including checksums of
