Even a 100x fusion gain wouldn't make the NIF net power producer, because last time I checked the lasers produce ~99% heat and <1% coherent light. The relevant metric is the ratio of energy input into the facility vs its output.

"This should ..." doesn't belong in a fucking file system! Take a deep breath and try again. Maybe limit the scope to something within your understanding this time.

If you assume twos complement (does anyone still insist one supporting ones complement ints for the sake of old DSPs and minicomputers?)

RouterOS v7 supports DHCPv6 prefix delegation. You can request a delegated /64 per downstream interface and announce itself as router using these prefixes. You can still use your MikroTik device as router, stateful firewall, proxy. You

Do you have hard numbers how much it would impact the bottom line to offer fab employees good wages and work-live balance? It's not like fabs are employing fast armies of low skilled labourers in sweatshop (even if you do sweat under P

Which NIC and driver combinations support kTLS offloading to the NIC? How did you deal with the hardware/firmware limitations on the number of offloadable TLS sessions?

This kind of optimisation becomes more important as the parent process's address space grows e.g. a browser wanting to spawn a process per origin or even worse an in memory database spawning a tiny shell script as hook. The existing (v

Why do you expect removing PROT_READ to provide a security gain when running open source software compiled using reproducible builds? Just the offset into an executable memory mapping is enough to know the executable code to be found. Sure

IIRC FreeBSD changed the default value to keep the old crypto enabled by default in a minor release after they imported a newer OpenSSH version. They imported the new OpenSSH release because the old one was uncomfortable close to end of lif

The FreeBSD release building tools [1] support customisation. You can either patch the defaults in the code or include different default configuration files. Don't take this rant too seriously. [1]: https://www.freebsd.org&#

Even as a FreeBSD "fan" I have to admit that there are some valid points in his rant e.g. the threaded AES-CTR did introduce a slightly larger attack surface to bugs hidden by OpenSSH opting to use only processes. I still preferre

On ARM v7m the "correct" way to would be to raise the current thread's BASEPRI the the highest exception priority you have to lock up. The M0+ cores on the RP2040 only support v6m and require masking those interrupts, but sin

I take something very different from the grand-parent post: the language requires you to get the design mostly correct to even compile. Unexperienced developers won't be able to come up any non-trivial new designs of their own, but can

I don't see how they could have hooked a 2.5Gb/s Ethernet NIC to the CM4 modules without using up the single PCI-e 2.0 lane other than adding a power hungry, expensive and often out of stock PCI-e switching chip.
