Afaik framework does provide those, MNT Reform is obviously fully open - any others?

Another option is to stick an authenticated reverse proxy in front of whatever you’re hosting. No software needed on the client beyond a web browser, and you only need to worry about say the security of Nginx…

My SLA is only to myself, so it’s not so bad. That said I do host some “critical” services like my password manager, and so making a mistake that takes those down can be a pain. I figure on balance it has been worth it.

It’s been a long time since I’ve used my ISP’s supplied modem/router. The only hardware from my ISP that I’m using now is their GPON SFP module, which is installed in the NIC of my router machine.

There are a surprising (or unsurprising depending on your perspective) number of hardware bugs out there. There are published errata that I had hit before they were documented. It’s not always very much fun - and leads to a lot of head scra

In Canada it would be your local MP or MLA - depending on if it’s a federal or provincial issue.

There is state shared between cores too though, at the very least L3, probably IOMMUs, etc. I wouldn’t be entirely surprised if there are issues we haven’t found that exist there.

I feel like that became apparent with Spectre and Meltdown - they really opened the floodgates. I do wonder if there is some way to have formally proven correctness for speculation - a sort of analogue to the borrow checker in Rust if you l

I am inclined to agree. I do somewhat like it on my 13” MBP but do miss physical function keys. If they just let you do fn+num for the F keys it would be a big improvement…

It is a VM though with a light weight VMM > crosvm is a custom virtual machine monitor that takes care of managing KVM, the guest VM, and facilitating the low-level (virtio-based) communication. However the actual application is run with

I haven’t tried to run the simulator, but I believe you should be able to run the HW driver with it - and get the frame buffer output. I imagine it’d take some work to get it working on a modern OS. It’s the simulator that I suspect is deri

I'm not convinced that the license is the biggest motivator today for vendors getting code to upstream Linux. Look at LLVM - Sony has spent significant effort landing support for PlayStation targets there, the license doesn't requ

Imagination released the driver and simulator sources for PowerVR series 1 last year [0] which is a fun resource to see how tiling GPUs started. Series 1 is particularly weird because it doesn't use triangles, it uses infinite planes,

My home server is still a Gen 8 HP Microserver with a Xeon E3-1230 V2 - so also Ivy Bridge. I wouldn’t mind something more modern and lower power but it seems any alternative with 4+ front drive bays would be quite a bit more expensive - an

I think in an FPGA flow you could rely on inferring a block RAM no?

Agreed - I ended up switching to Safari. If Apple ends up allowing other browser engines (as rumoured) then I’d happily switch back to Firefox.

I wonder if it really needs to be Safari or if there would be any demand for a WebKit+JavaScriptCore browser on other platforms?

I don’t think we’d necessarily have to use it for transistors, but could use it in place of the metal interconnect that is significant in terms of resistive loss.

Yeah I think this is most likely. Then when you change the serial you're using the calibration data for the wrong screen, but most of the time you're lucky and the two screens behave close enough that an average user doesn't

If they own the attestation for Chrome then presumably they could also allow their scrapers to attest?

I probably don’t want a calculator to be full screen, even a terminal full height might make sense but full width almost never does.

It seems that the wasted space issue is somewhat addressed by the switch to a tiling mode when the screen becomes “full”?

Do Xresources and friends make sense now Wayland is finally usable for many folks? Maybe having some sort of environment agnostic config would be good - even with Wayland - but I don’t know that a suitable one exists today.

They prevent you playing even single player content? I’m surprised that such a design passed certification.

I haven’t checked the changes here, but even if your FW carries a recent ucode at boot, you may find yourself wanting to update the ucode at runtime without a reboot. This is certainly possible on Linux.

I would never have thought to use an extension intended for adding dark mode, to instead view dark mode websites in a light mode, but that makes total sense!

It feels like they’re trying to give people the benefits that hyperscale cloud operators have, without being one?
