Effectively being limited to your local repeater or maybe some local simplex (if you're lucky) gets very old, very fast. Not just because of the people, but there's just not much interesting to do. What I mean is that pushing a

At least the data collection part is very easy to set up on Android and zero maintenance afterwards: Use GPSLogger[1] to record the position. It can auto-upload to pretty much anything from DropBox to SFTP (FTP over SSH). It can auto-start

This is a standard notation. tcp_v4_rcv+48 means, within the binary kernel image, 0x48 bytes after the start of the tcp_v4_rcv function. You can use the addr2line tool to find the source code line. https://serverfault.com/qu

dropwatch's definition of drop is literally kfree_skb, ie kernel stops processing a packet (plus changes to drop count at napi device). Don't think of it as recording drops, think of it as recording the ultimate fate of every pack

Yes, you can attach an eBPF program to the skb:kfree_skb tracepoint. For example: perf record -e skb:kfree_skb

Note there's also kernel side code for this. Theoretically it's generic, but practically it was written specifically for dropwatch and dropwatch is the only user of it that I am aware of. https://github.com/torvald

dropwatch is great, I've used it to debug why our router firmware drops packets. It has some issues (I really need to verify which are still present and file them) but it works. You can also achieve mostly the same effect with perf via

Security shouldn't be opt-in; you should be secure by default because most users will stay with the default (which is reasonable - the entire point of the extension is to prevent information leaks, and as the author you're the dom

The integrity mode applies to the running kernel in RAM. You generally don't actually upgrade that, instead you replace the kernel image on disk (vmlinuz), which is still possible. On next boot, the new image will be loaded. But if you

I don't see why not. 750g/drive * 60drives + 45kg chassis = 90kg. I've stood on top of IKEA Lack side tables, and a) I weigh more, b) with the chassis, the weight is going to be better distributed (lower mounting and no flexi

Is there a plan to get more advanced courses? I'm asking because there seems to be an extreme bias towards beginners courses, or content that is rather limited in breadth and depth compared to what a university might teach during a f

That doesn't seem right. Cars have catalysts where the air flows through. Also 2 H2 + O2 -> 2 H2O (+ a characteristic bang :-)) at room temperature and pressure (initially) using a platinum catalyst is shown in school chemistry clas

I agree MM is more widespread, but I thought we were talking about new cabling (and I took that to include the transceivers). (Serial over fiber? Nice, didn't know that existed.) Pricing-wise, what I meant is: $18: 10G-SR (MM): https:

Yes, for "just above 1G, and must reuse existing copper wiring, and both sides take PCIE", the card from the article will do. But it's a pretty narrow use case. I agree with the notion of using fiber. I would certainly stay a

Thank you, that was very interesting! In particular how reflections caused you trouble, whereas in the ham world (also mostly HF) the same are desirable because anything that increases range is generally seen as good (we do use directional

The difficult part isn't knowing which symbol is which. The problem with learning the tree, or rote memorization, is that you'll learn it as a translation table. This will slow you down to well below conversational speed. You&#x27

You can also see that as an opportunity, at least for those who stay in academia: all fundamentals are up for reevaluation, and replication studies haven't been popular until recently, so there's bound to be some high-impact, low-

As a student, I found the bottom-up approach quite interesting in a lab format. (Though it was an FPGA lab - learning about CPU architecture was a side benefit. And it was at M.Sc. level, so we were somewhat familiar with the basics.) We bu
