That they would never see me buying again from them. That I can stop OTA. That matter is interoperable and I can run multiple gateways before cutting them out. Most IoT stuff I own had a good track record. The only stuff that screwed me ove

Modern wifi has always been a killer for OpenWRT. Usually expect to be 1 gen behind for a few years. I wanted Wifi 7e recently (upgraded to really fast fiber) and went with Ubiquity for that. I did find the Totolink X5000R extremely good. 5

RedHat used to have a poster of the linux source code. Because some early version did fit a large sheet of paper. Not sure if that's still available but it was a fun poster that I can highly recommend.

Or switch to HDR if you have a capable display. I was pleasantly surprised that HDR also means you can control brightness - it is all software I that case! And the brightness keys on an external Apple keyboard work.

Oh great, I missed that end of the page. The "Round 2 details" links back to the blog and it is hard to see the FAQ on mobile (needs manual scrolling to the end). Google search and Perplexity failed when I tried, too. Google searc

I pre-ordered because I loved the Pebble Round - especially the size and look. My intended use case is for formal dress codes and special events (weddings, new years, ...) wheretny fennix 51mm does not fit in (literally and figuratively). T

I had 8 IPs in a hetzner server years ago. One IP had an iptables rule to accept openvpn on any port. My openvpn config was a long list of commonly accepted ports on either tcp or udp. Startup would take a while but the number of times it w

Interesting. But who is OpenDevicePartnership? Looking at the members on the repository this seems to be a Microsoft project?

Compatibility as I understand it means "mixing this in a project is OK". This is the case if the 2 license aren't at odds. Usually one license is stricter and you have to adhere to that one for the combined work. A counter-ex

I tried a few times as some BIOS have a hidden or disabled setting but I never got past a plain crash. Device and CPU vendor support for classic S3 is shrinking. E.g. on framework laptops the Intel CPU(!) does not officially support S3 slee

The product page lists EDK II. Is the code available anywhere? I can't see it in edk-platforms..... I would love to have a UEFI I can compile....

I guess the reason is the screen. It's 320x240, and 0.3M is 640x480 (VGA).the secondary screen is even lower resolution (160x120). It does work very well for this screen resolution. And what else would you do with this media given it&#

Is it? The article lists 2015 as the year where things improved a lot, 2017 is well past that. The numbers are low and even that's inflated due to recalls. I've seen >>10 year old laptops where the battery is still good enou

It just depends on what you use for management. IIRC the /etc/network/interfaces does a reconfiguration that's pretty disruptive. Things like brctl and ethtool worked on the fly without issues (note though that I mostly

Depends on what you are doing. But you can take the path of app / os images. My home network is just openwrt, and I use make plus a few scripts and imagebuilder to create images that I flash, including configs. For rpi I actually liked

The issue talks about one vs. multiple frames. That's exactly the issue. It's not a matter of complexity, it's a matter of bad compromises. The issue can be easily played through. The most simplistic encoding where the issue

There is one thing you can't with most algorithms: prallelize decompression. That's because most compression algorithms use sliding windows to remove repetitive sections. And decompression speed also drops as compression ratio inc

This looks really good, I remember looking into BWT ad a kid. It's a true "wat" once you understand it. And once you understand it, why does it compression so well? Because suffixes tend to have the same byte preceeding them.

Compression algorithm implementations are not for everyone. The math and algorithms behind it are fun to learn but hard. And then you need to implement it both performant and correct. Only a few people build up the algorithmic background to

Well, there is a pretty logical explanation. Libsystemd was moving to a dlopen architecture for its dependencies. This means that the backdoor would not load as the sshd patch only used libsystemd for notify, which does not need liblzma at

I have seen this in some NAS systems. It's a pretty good fit, especially for the ones that can be upgraded to 64GB RAM and run VMs or docker. Generally plenty of RAM plus many fast PCIe lanes is not something most ARM chips offer.

One thing everyone should keep in mind about this NVIDIA/AMD battle right now: CUDA has been published for 16 years, it's been a huge push by NVIDIA to do GPGPU computation. I remember seeing it as a new thing in university back t

A nice example of this is fftw which has hundreds (if not thousands) of generated methods to do the fft math. The whole project is a code generator. It can then after compilation benchmark these, generate a wisdom file for the hardware and

The actual inclusion code was never in the repo. The blobs were hidden as lzma test files. So you review would need to guess from 2 new test files that those are, decompressed, a backdoor and could be injected which was never in the git his

Well, I am skeptical about (2). It is unclear what exploiting means. The backdoor is doing _something_ for 0.5s if RSA key exchange happens. So even a valid login might trigger not yet known side effects. It might just tunnel commands over

There has been a lot said to not throw shit at Lasse Collin. This post is reassuring. It was said he is on an internet break at the moment, so I hope this doesn't ruin weeks for him. It's thankless enough to maintain something lik

Assume that a backdoor was injected and activated, especially if you ever sshd into the machine. The backdoor is not fully analyzed as of now. As such nothing can be said about the system besides "it is potentially compromised".

Arch Linux switched switched from xz to zstd, with neglectable increase in size (<1%) but massive speedup on decompression. This is exactly the use case of many people downloading ($$$) and decompressing. It is the software distribution

I tried to get the translation to trigger by switching to french and it does not show. You are right. So it's just odd that the tags and release tarballs diverge.

Thank you, formatting fixed. My TLDR is that I would regard all commits by JiaT75 as potentially compromised. Given the ability to manipulate gitnhistory I am not sure if a simple time based revert is enough. It would be great to compare ol
