I disagree. If LineageOS builds were actually unsigned, I would have no way of verifying that release N was signed by the same private-key-bearing entity that signed release N-1, which I happen to have installed. It could be construed as th

LineageOS isn't unsigned, it just happens to be signed by keys that are not "trusted" (i.e., allowed - thanks for the correction!) by the phone's bootloaders.

No.

Yeah, they can fuck right off with that kind of shit idea.

Yeah, I can see why that is a show-stopper for people. However, the thingino project has people among them who care deeply about ease of installation - so with these security issues discovered in the TP-Link device, chances are an installat

I came here to post this, too :) What the thingino community managed to do with their firmware for these cameras is nothing short of amazing - if you happen to have a compatible camera, you really, really should give it a whirl!

I realize this is mostly tangential to the article, but a word of warning for those who are about to mess with overcommit for the first time: In my experience, the extreme stance of "always do [thing] with overcommit" is just not

In fact, it is not a problem at all. Let new generations of Free Software orgs come along and supplant GNU with a GBIR (GNU But In Rust), but don't insist on existing, established things that are perfectly good for who and what they ar

Yeah that would have been great, but it's not available on our existing core switches (Dell PowerSwitch S5200 series).

Yes, Jumbo frames unlock a LOT of additional performance - which is exactly what we have and need on those links. Using a vanilla wg-bench[0] loopback-esque (really veths across network namespaces) setup on the machine, I get slightly more

Very cool project - hoping to see follow-up designs that can do more than 1Gbps per port! I recently built a fully Layer2-transparent 25Gbps+ capable wireguard-based solution for LR fiber links at work based on Debian with COTS Zen4 machine

It's not that dire as you make it out to be :) Both the 8700G and the 8700G PRO are readily available in the EU, and the PRO SKU is about 50% more expensive (EUR 120 in absolute numbers): https://geizhals.eu/?cmp=3096

Are you sure you have ECC-capable DIMM installed? What does find /sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/csrow* -maxdepth 1 -type f -exec grep --color . {} + report?

I don't think 64GB ECC UDIMM is commercially available yet. I use Geizhals to check for EU availability: https://geizhals.eu/?cat=ramddr3&xf=7500_DDR5~7501_DIMM~7761... In my experience, it's generally unwise

I've been on AM4 for most of the past decade (and still am, in fact), and the mainboards I've personally had in use with working ECC support were: - ASRock B450 Pro4 - ASRock B550M-ITX/ac - ASRock Fatal1ty B450 Gaming

JEDEC specifies rates up to 3200MT/s, what's officially referred to as DDR4-3200 (PC4-25600).

"Breaks down" is a strong choice of words for a single, corrected bit error. ECC works as designed, and demonstrates that it does by detecting this re-occurring error. I take the confidence mostly from experience ;) And no, as ECC

I see a particular ECC error at least weekly on my home desktop system, because one of my DIMMs doesn't like the (out of spec) clock rate that I make it operate at. Looks like this: 94 2025-08-26 01:49:40 +0200 error: Corrected e

Usually, if a vendor's spec sheet for a (SOHO/consumer-grade) motherboard mentions ECC-UDIMM explicitly in its memory compatibility section, and (but this is a more recent development afaict) DOES NOT specify something like "

I've been in this business for a while now, and I continue to be surprised by the extent of how cloud customers are being milked by cloud platform providers. And, of course, their seemingly limitless tolerance for it.

The article touches upon an important point that applies to all complex (software/computer) and long-lived systems: "Too much outdated and inconsistent documentation (that makes learning the numerous tools needlessly hard.)"

It would be fine it were only that. The actual problem is that software vendors can and do use Secure Boot to also check if you, the machine's owner, "decided" to "trust" this set of special CAs - and if you did n

I was not aware of such a directory existing in the first place :) I only advertise "my" service (it only implements DNS and DoT) through word of mouth in communities I participate in.
