I used regular pen and paper to record the dreams (or other interesting stuff) as I drifted to sleep. a) find a comfortable environment that helps you sleep in a sitting position. For me it was sitting in a train late at night (I used to co

Why is this making the news? It's just a "click on OK if you really want to use this cartridge" Not really "bypassing" any "DRM" here, are we?

I don't understand how DOSEMU is still relevant today, now that we have DosBox (or rather it's various, substantially better, clones DosBox-staging and DosBox-X). I'd probably even pick a full-blown VM over DOSEMU...

My chemistry teacher warned me to stay away from people who would use the ° sign for Kelvin ("90°K") or leave it out when talking about degrees centigrade ("-180C")... this guy does both ;-)

I don't think I have that code around anymore, at least I can't find it now. And it's been a while. Here is what I remember: Basically you use VirtualAllocEx() to allocate some memory in the remote thread. The returned pointe

I actually did something like that on Windows x86, and it worked fine. Even I was surprised by that fact :) I used it to copy out a (forgotten) password from a password inputfield in another program, which you cannot read remotely (for secu

In Win9x, it was c:\windows\desktop etc., before windows became multi-user, when it moved to c:\windows\profiles\xxx\desktop and later to C:\Users\xxx\Desktop. But only on US installations, in international versions it was c:\benutzer\xxx\d

Wait, when did we come to the point where "working in system administration" is considered synonymous to "maintaining an Artifactory instance"?

It is sad that the C3 is going more and more political, and that actual technical content is apparently being phased out. There are very few technical "hacking" conferences anymore (i.e. not tied to a particular topic, e.g. Linux)

I thought this was common knowledge. We learned this in school, I think in 7th grade or so.

Space Debris is cool. I still have it in my car's playlist (converted to MP3, though, as my car's entertainment system sadly doesn't know how to handle tracked music formats... which is a real shame IMHO ;-)

wow, what a badly designed site. I can't even look at it because it keeps pestering me with some popup that asks for my ZIP code (which I don't want to provide, as I just want to know what that page is all about)

BlueSCSI, RaSCSI, SCSI2SD... there's plenty of these projects recently. All have pro's and con's so consider them thoroughly

Also, last time I checked, in Azure, a single public IPv6 address costs the same as a single public IPv4 address...

I'm confused. So... someone figured out that you can use cc65 to compile C code for the C64, and then he stuck it into an Emscripten version of VICE and put it on the web? I can click on "run" and it looks like it's comp

USB3 is not so bad on the Pi4. Otherwise you'd have to use some external storage, like NFS/iSCSI on your NAS or something similar

I did the same in the last few days, although I run everything on a single-node k3s cluster. There are some caveats when trying this that one should be aware of. For example there are some bugs with the iptables binary that result in megaby

This is awesome, I would totally build this next week (I have most of the components around) but the PCB alone is over 500$, and I'm not sure I could solder that large SMD chip without breaking anything. Awesome project, but a little t

Youtube algorithms are truly weird. I have a YT account with, I think, 3 or 4 subscribers and maybe a dozen or two views on the 10-20 videos I ever uploaded. I basically use YT to upload things that I want to share with some close friends.

Okay, then how about the people working in the company publishing the specs, there are lectors, editors, people who actually write the documentation so that it's readable, proof-readers, etc. and THEY need to be paid.

It looks like the poster confused "publicly available" with "freely available". The standards are already publicly available, they're just not free. As for free, I guess someone needs to pay all the engineers that d

SGI uses EFS on their CDs. It's basically the same filesystem they used on harddisks before XFS (in the IRIX 5 days)
