We had power for a very long time before silicon. Generators are just big coils of copper. Substations too. Solar won't work without silicon, but anything with a spinning coil of copper would. Voltmeters would need replacing with the o

For those who think DNS-over-HTTPS can't be blocked: just disable routing and use a whitelist filtering proxy server instead.

Could server-side includes be used for a html bomb? Write an ordinary static html page and fill a <p> with infinite random data using <!--#include file="/dev/random"-->. or would that crash the server?

I wonder if I could create a 500TB html file with proper headers on a squashfs, an endless <div><div><div>... with no closing tags, and if I could instruct the server to not report file size before download. Any ideeas?

And in that case, the problem would not be discovered until 1) someone opened a bug report, which rarely happens, because any competent user would just disable auto-updates, and 2) that bug report would be investigated, which also rarely ha

I wanted to try Coreboot/Libreboot too, but I couldn't read the damn chip with a clip. I probably need to unsolder it but I'm afraid I'm going to break it permamently and I care too much about this laptop.
