   Woops. My original comment ran the numbers against the OP's "wouldn't that be 256^256?", but I got tripped up by the reply refuting that and saying it was 8^256 instead. For as-yet unknown reasons my brain has always had

   May I please have a list of demos that do all those things? That sounds really cool. - Jumping into the middle of video ROM and/or the BIOS - Using substantial amounts of code as data - Pregenerated buffers and data reordering oooooo.

   Unreasonably impossible as of yet, yes. For handy reference: 8^8: 16,777,216 8^16: 281,474,976,710,656 8^32: 79,228,162,514,264,337,593,543,950,336 8^64: 6,277,101,735,386,680,763,835,789,423,207,666,416,102,355,444,464,034,512,896 8^128: .

   Hmm. "Depending on the content in tabs". Might be interesting to graph the leak rate (in KB/min or MB/min) and maybe either record the screen or limit to one or two websites at a time to narrow down what causes the most

   Arg, only noticed your reply yesterday then the tab got buried! Thanks for the info. I probably don't have the hardware setup to run VMs at the moment (chronically low on RAM + do not have a GPU). I will be very interested to play wi

   Echoing the other similar comment, where can I find citations for this annoying drama I now need to take into account?

   Wait, how does that... ohh, you're forwarding GLX. Ha, that's awesome, I am definitely borrowing that idea :) The graphics contexts should be well-contained on the host though. That the guest is leaking memory is kind of interes

   The bit about " No logs are kept regarding DNS related traffic, nor will I turn any over. " leapt out at me, but I honestly have no idea.

   What about VirtualGL? https://www.virtualgl.org/ As I understand it, when you open an OpenGL application inside Xvnc (et al) on :1, a shim is LD_PRELOADed that quietly redirects the OpenGL initialization calls so they creat

    Considering all of the, uh, interesting goings-on that have happened in the CA world over the past few years, the first thing you need is trust and transparency. Buckets of it. Preferably your own personal waterfall. I get the impression

    Wow, cool, you actually tested it! And an effective test too. Stepping back and forth throughout the frames (using mpv), the flash clearly enhances several spots of localized brightness where contrast pops out into clear relief. The effect

    Before reading your reply to OP's comment I got to thinking about how the super-resolution process and flash photography might interact ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22905317 ). I get the impression you left the

    The way I mistakenly initially parsed this comment gave rise to a potentially-dumb idea/question: What would happen if you - begin capturing video (unsure of fps) on a phone-quality sensor in a near-dark environment - pulse the phone&#

    If you look really really carefully at that video, when the camera shakes around you can see where the motion tracking for the logo overlay loses it a bit. Sorry. (Someone should do a better version.) Edit: https://news.ycombinat

    That only works for screen-width-length runs of text. Also, cue trainspotters and such putting 10-hour+ 1x-speed captures of the screens running through the entire cycle up on YouTube...

    You missed "sort after". We're both just as bad as each other, the meaning is discernible.

    That's why drop shadows look horrible when I'm looking at my screen at the wrong angle... I knew it was a dithering thing, forgot LCDs were 6-bit.

    Very cheap _x86_ hardware, to be specific. I'm not sure if it's actually more expensive to find VIA et al based systems for cheaper than NUCs?

    Extending the other answer, root on eg a hypervisor guest also shouldn't give you access to secrets hidden from even the bare-metal root account.

    To clarify, you bought the device in Australia and thus had an Australian warranty on it, right?

    Alternatively, if this approach actually works, all the countries in the world that can appropriately adapt their regulations will survive, and the ones that choose not to won't. Natural selection versus bureaucracy!
