The dom0 kernel is responsible for talking to devices such as a disk or a NIC, yes, be that Linux, NT, *BSD, etc. The hypervisor is typically responsible for enforcing isolation of compute, memory, etc. The line does blur - for example Hype

Hyper-V is similar to Xen. The hypervisor runs on bare metal, the Windows root is akin to your dom0 on Xen, and your guests are your domU.

Not a ridiculous theory. Related are also “numbers stations” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numbers_station

You can configure Linux to run without an MMU - it seems like that should be doable?

Yeah there are some nice enough ITX cases with HDD bays [0], but any comparable replacement ends up relatively expensive, so it just hasn't made sense. [0] - https://www.u-nas.com/xcart/cart.php?target=product&

Are you stuck with their software though? I've ended up pretty deep down the NixOS rabbit hole...

I'm still running an 8th gen HP micro server, but I would run something else if I could get >=8GB memory and 4 SATA ports for relatively cheap. I haven't seen anything that gets me there yet though.

This kind of pushed me away from HA. I've ended up using integrations built using hc [0] to bridge devices to HomeKit, either existing or ones I've built, and then using Promtheus to collect metrics. It's not something that &

Recently my Hue bulbs have decided to sometimes all show as unavailable in HomeKit, which is annoying. They normally revive themselves in a few minutes but I can’t figure it out. Unfortunately no other home automation platform (Google, Amaz

Yeah I agree here, I used to find Nix somewhat unintuitive but I have now managed a few non-trivial projects. One being to package Xilinx ISE as a flake [0], and another to build an immutable Linux image using busybox and runit [1]. For the

It’s obviously anecdotal but I’ve found the Nix community extremely supportive and haven’t really had that experience when asking questions. I typically stick to IRC but I have asked my fair share of dumb questions without any replies I’d c

On iOS and macOS I just use the standard Mail.app. Works well and even push notifications work.

Wow, that's awful. I wonder who's idea it was? Is it doing anything more than checking user agent (trivial to spoof), because if not that seems entirely hostile.

by bpye 5y ago
Yeah, seems much more recent than any other I can find, but no reason given?

Is there any reason to do this when fungus exists?

There was more to the debacle, for example, putting ads for their other products in the controller UI.

Shame we don't know what the delay between spectra is, would be fun to work out how fast the plane is traveling.

I agree, this seems likely to be a couple folks at Apple trying to be helpful rather than a real policy. If Apple were serious about helping open source efforts they could, for example, release the documentation for their different peripher

Ah yes, I misunderstood the original comment as implying that RISC-V C had 16 bit register length, rather than opcode length.
862.
by bpye 5y ago
The C extension is that, an extension. A RISC-V core with the C extension should still support the long encoding as well. There is no 16-bit variant specified, only 32, 64 and 128. There is an E version of the ISA with a reduced register se

Sure, maybe maps apps shouldn’t be preinstalled or we should have something on setup that allows you to pick between a set of different apps for maps.

I saw this. Does any other terminal emulator do this?

by bpye 5y ago
These are being made by Dialog and looking at the tools appear to be a relative of the GreenPAK devices. They were essentially very very small mixed signal programmable logic devices but the data sheets detailed every bit in the bitstream.

I'm glad to hear that. My experience was a little over 3 years ago so there has definitely been a bunch of time for the situation to improve. The laptop itself was also pretty weak.

by bpye 5y ago
I tried it a couple years ago, the laptop I tried it on was underpowered (4GB memory, Skylake m3 - it was a Chromebook). The core software worked great. I could mostly rely on the base system for critical software, I found cwm entirely suff

Except deficient drivers can and do result in serious injury or death of other drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, etc. I’m still not too sure I understand your argument… Why should we so heavily subsidise car drivers?

by bpye 5y ago
True, and that’s fantastic, but I think the performance that Apple has with their SoCs would make it much more compelling.
