But that's the whole multiplex, right? It could be a single channel, but usually you have many in the multiplex. I don't know how it works in the US, but for DVB-T(2) that's how it is.

There used to be many p2p vpn (full mesh) solutions, which disappeared into obscurity. Social VPN, Remobo, NeoRouter, GBridge, Wippien, PeerVPN. Remember any of these? Just checked — none of the domains are working.

IMO, the hardest is to initially find the faulty subsystem, and then to find a suitable instrument to trace/debug it. It's great if you have a working software which shows the possible culprit (as in this case), but often you have

Sourceforge is still used as a storage for ISOs, firmware builds, and other large binary "artifacts", because it allows large files, unlike GitHub.

Gutenprint is also not packaged for 32-bit ARM (armel/armhf) in Debian 13 due to issues with 32-bit → 64-bit time_t transition on 32-bit platforms https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1064089

Yep, I still use it this way. I believe that GitHub free for public only repo model is the reason why we have a lot of pet projects published, most of which were not really intended to be published to begin with.

For my projects, I prefer to collect the money for the whole year operation in advance. This allows me not to refer to subscription model, yet not to ask for donations every month.

The same applies for translation systems. I translate a bunch of open-source software, if the translation is on weblate, transifex or crowdin. I never going to translate .po files directly. It's just not worth it.

Please consider adding this and possibly other algorithms to CUPS printing system. Easiest is to add it into ghostscript. https://github.com/OpenPrinting/libcupsfilters/pull/92

Do you have similar research on WebP? Or how does AVIF compare to WebP in terms of animation compressing? Does video compression (AV1, VP8) differ from image animation compressing? Less feature set I guess?

Oh! Take a look at EPSON printer driver, which prohibits you from: 1. Sharing the printer you own with anyone else unless they agree to the license of the driver (incl. business setup) 2. Sharing the printer over the internet unconditionall

All such cyberdeck projects are running rather beefy and/or bad-at-power-management SoCs, which consume 1W+ at idle (with screen off). That's a total bummer for me.

I was pleasantly surprised that imageshack still hosts all the pictures, as all mine from it were gone. UPD: the Eurasia 2005 posts have images from imageshack _us_, all are unavailable.
