Unfortunately powerpc will probably be removed from sid/unstable just like sparc recently was. The binaries are generated by extensive architecture that is a lot of work to maintain and needs enthusiastic developers to keep everything

I have a bad habit where instead of doing something relevant I play with old stuff I read about but didn't have access to as a kid. VMS always interested me since I first read about it in the jargon file. I recently found an alphaserve

> How does this stop an attacker doing the same via ROP? Wait, isn't that backwards? Doesn't the use of W^X necessitate the use of ROP? Right now a JIT has lots of memory that is W&X so you just need a memory exploit to inj

Get the 8320e at Microcenter for $90 and over clock it. It'll be faster and cheaper.

It's cool to hear work is being done on a formal memory model. The model described by the current spec basically says "TODO it's going to be weak".

There are lots of inexpensive ip cameras on the market. I use several to watch my animals from work. There's a specification called ONVIF that most of them more-or-less implement that allows applications to discover cameras features li

Adding -Werror to your build system sucks because future compilers implement new warnings making it very difficult to recreate new builds with new compilers, for instance when bisecting a bug. Add it to your local build with "./co

Are you saying that most SSDs lose data they claimed was saved to stable storage in the event of power loss? That's crazy. Filesystems are greatly complicated by the need to be resistant to power loss. What is the point of all that com

If you're doing this in assembly, no problem so long as you understand the memory model of the cpu architecture you're targeting. The memory model implemented by c compilers absolutely do not allow this. The problem is not cache c

Windows in plan 9 are images that are drawn to. There are libraries for drawing fonts and various shapes. Another thing that get conflated with text interfaces is keyboard control. For whatever reason the plan 9 developers were very adverse

People tend to conflate the concept of text based interfaces with terminals and curses but it's possible to have text interfaces without curses. Most plan 9 applications have text interfaces but do not use terminals.

I like the concept but I can see a few potential problems with the idea. Firstly this would give universities the power to print green cards. That's a power they probably shouldn't have. Secondly I really don't think there is
