They'll probably respond in the same way they respond to hearing about TCP handshakes. They won't. The implementation details are unimportant to the end user. Just like today you probably don't ask your doctor the details abo

Replying to myself since we hit max comment depth (probably an indicator it's time to move away from this thread anyway). but to address the sibling reply by hudon, yes, a blockchain is a form of a distributed database (maybe highly re

There's nothing that ties a blockchain to proof of work. Proof of work just just one consensus protocol. For instance, JP Morgan's Quorum is working on Raft based consensus. https://github.com/jpmorganchase/qu

By using a blockchain, you enable auditing organizations to participate in the authentication process. For instance, I might publish a private message to the blockchain that is an authentication request to resource X. A smart contract would

Enterprise Ethereum has almost nothing to do with Ethereum the public blockchain, or crypto-currency. Ethereum based blockchains (that is based on Ethereum the software, not the canonical global instance of that software) provide an abili

Network adapters have outpaced the various system buses off and on since the start of computing. What's interesting in this article is that the bus is becoming a local bottleneck between various system resources. (cpu/gpu/acc

I mean, I guess giving up and letting your family or yourself starve is an option. For a lot of folks in low wage positions, the mere act of looking for an alternative puts their current wages in jeopardy. Their employer may decide they&#x2

Your best bet is really to build your base image using debootstrap or similar. The 'official' images are often a joke. For the longest time, the maintainer of the 'official' Ubuntu image had no clear association with eit

I'm curious what you'd consider a GSM or SIM firewall to look like. Typically from the perspective of Linux, a "old and busted" telephony devices will appear as a TTY which a (relatively) privileged process can use as a

This is almost certainly your ISP (or tunneling configuration), not the content providers screwing up, as networks like T-Mobile and Verizon are quickly becoming IPv6-first networks. A great many folks successfully pass a majority or all th

It's more likely they would use their own private blockchain. (Something ethereumish, like JP Morgan's Quorum, or Hyperledger Fabric).

The blockchain also ups the level of auditability.

It is... Assuming you didn't also set the x11 option for it via localectl or similar. The two somehow conflict.

I literally just went through this tonight with a fresh Arch/KDE install. 45 minutes with various permutations of custom Linux console keymaps, X11 keyboard options (specifically ctrl:nocaps), and KDE's own settings before finally

Oof, apologies. I'd have sworn I'd come across some H5 FreeBSD work recently, but clearly was mistaken.
466.
by subway 9y ago
The H5 is a member of the sun50i family. It's a 64-bit CPU, so this generic image will never work. FreeBSD has done some recent work on the H5 though, so maybe that'll land in NetBSD soon.

The Pyra is a helluva lot closer to shipping than the Neo900. A great many of the components have seen production runs already. I'm not sure Neo900 has even figured out how competently handle their donated funds, let alone how to get a

I think it's more the abandonment of federated protocols in favor of centralized services, than the abandonment of a specific protocol. An only tangentially related anecdote: SMTP and later XMPP offered beautifully portable social grap

Wealth and elitism don't always go hand in hand. Some of the most elitist folks I know are dirt poor.

The libhybris situation is a pretty miserable compromise. You land on an old, busted Android kernel, with a userland that mostly works. It exists only because the major SoC vendors have no motivation to support a chip after they've shi

It isn't a large segment, but it could easily be a relatively high profit margin. Look at projects like the Pyra -- it's effectively a one-man show producing an LTE connected ARM handheld while he holds a day job running a video p
