I'm not aware of anything like this, but I think it would be much more valuable than continuing the proliferation of GUI tools like this one. A GUI forces me to use your tool. A file format allows me to create my own tools and integrat

I bet there are a similar number of pitfalls with ECC, but (depending on the specific weakness) we just have a ~50-2000 year head start with RSA because prime numbers have been studied for far longer.

I wonder whether we're going to get a temporary break from this encryption surveillance ratchet with Biden as president, or if it'll continue regardless. This seems to be one of Barr's pet issues, and he's about to be sh

Right, and I'm running XFCE with a different theme, or i3 without any titlebars, and every GTK3 app that uses client-side window decorations looks out of place. I'm not running Gnome 3, I don't ever intend to run Gnome 3, and

Does anyone know if those hideous GTK3 title bars are rendered by the client (GIMP), or is the person taking the screenshot just using GNOME?

Yes, HP is a giant scumbag. But the conclusion from the big printer thread last week: just buy a Brother laser printer and never look back. Seriously, inkjet and all of the surrounding bullshit is not worth the time or the money or the ener

If you're looking to start playing around with a RISC-V that fits on a small FPGA, PicoRV32 [1] is a good option. It's written/maintained by Claire Wolf, who also started the yosys and icestorm open source synthesis projects.

For those out of the loop: Tantacrul is a composer who put together some hilariously scathing UI/UX video reviews for some popular composing software tools out there, including MuseScore [1] [2] [3]. The team developing MuseScore the

by ohazi 6y ago
The deadline for ADS-B conversion was January 2020, so pretty much all of the older aircraft have either been converted, or can no longer be flown without a waiver (which, at this point, will pretty much only be given if you're flying

N330AX is a Hawker Hunter, a jet fighter from the 1950s. It's not surprising that it's owned by a company nor that it flies in formation with similar aircraft. Flying an airplane like this over water for noise abatement purposes

If I get a three-year reserved instance of a t3.small, it works out to $6/month. A t3.micro works out to $3/mo. Storage and bandwidth, for my use-cases, amount to less than a dollar a month. Are there any other providers that comp

I'd be shocked if coreboot ever supports the Raspberry Pi... the boot process on the Broadcom SoC is completely insane. The GPU is actually responsible for starting the CPU on power up, and it needs several firmware blobs in order to d

No idea if they have plans for this, but a laptop form-factor device would sell like hotcakes (judging by the apparent success of the Pinebook Pro). You could probably design a drop-in replacement motherboard for a Thinkpad X or T sized lap

I'm on a different machine now, but I'll have to go back and verify what I did -- it sounds like I may have set it up incorrectly. My /boot is a LUKS1 volume, and I thought that my GRUB boot passphrase for this volume was i

Has there been any work on speed improvements? I did this LUKS1 encrypted boot partition thing on a relatively recent laptop, and GRUB takes about 25 seconds to validate the passphrase. Once it loads the initrd, the early kernel environment

Please, God, no. The surface area for security vulnerabilities is already impossibly high. Do we really want to add "firmware running on a DIMM exfiltrating key material" to that list?

You can still buy Altera FPGAs, and you'll still be able to buy Xilinx FPGAs -- they're not going to just throw away a three billion dollar business. Lattice is probably the next biggest. There's also Microchip (< Microsem

Also, the advantage Altera supposedly got after being acquired by Intel was better fab integration with what was then the best process technology available (High-end FPGAs genuinely need good processes). 1. That's no longer the case, s

Yes, the esp8266 and esp32 are power hogs and run quite warm, which is why you don't see them in battery powered gadgets very often. It'll be interesting to do real world measurements when this chip is available.
