So glad my car has the dumbest head unit on offer in 2019, does bluetooth, radio, CD, shows a map (slowly) it just does what I need it to.

Funniest thing I read today, thank you!

This guy has my sense of humor I see. Good show!

My parents had me setup on an old MacBook when I was about 1, It was an application called "babysmash" or something. It would pop up shapes and noises as you hit the keyboard. I have no memory of this, there's just a picture of me at a laptop in a high-chair.

My partner lamented the same thing... Cray was doing this 40+ years ago

It's happened!

Hearing what I cut my teeth on as "old computing" sure makes me feel old lmao

This, 100%

This is a good article with good historical context, my only issue with it is where does this UBI come from? It sure as hell isn't gonna be taxes from large corporations given how things are going.

But yeah, once the buying power dries up, who is left keeping the lights on?

These burgers aren't working for the man

Now this is WHY I love UNIX and UNIX-likes, the fact you can chop and change core components like the Kernel, Userspace, Init, etc. and (within compatibility limits i.e. MUSL/GLIBC) run a hybrid system like Chimera.

Would I run Chimera as a daily-drive? Probably not. Is it cool that someone can? Absolutely!

Aside from enrolling a token with the TPM to unlock the LUKS volume, this is actually a pretty novel idea. Perfect for older hardware without TPM. I guess it depends on your use-case.

He was only briefly in Apocalypse Now, but definitely left his mark. RIP to a Legend.

Emit at your own peril

At first, was horrified... But, goes into using eBPF and IO_URING to collect system stats instead of all the huge overhead of userspace calls (ontop of dbus, ontop of Gnome).. This is pretty good.

Not the parent poster, but I also still use telnet. For me it's "Ancient", I have a few retired SPARC and PA-RISC boxes that run their period appropriate OSes as a hobby. Telnet/rlogin is the more reliable method to get into them remotely (just over the LAN).

They're on a LAN behind a NAT Router/Firewall, and I don't always keep them powered up (I'm not that insane) so I really don't have a concern for them.

Some of the more modern/high-performance examples I have run NetBSD with modern sshd and modern ciphers, but you can tell it's a bit of a workout for them.

good. god.

I think this is really neat. Been wanting to create an ESP32-based environment monitoring system for outside to replace the cheap 915 MHz weather station I have. CAN might not be a bad technology to do this with since I don't really want to have yet more things emitting around 2.4/5 GHz

all good, probably just me seeing patterns.

The destination IP has some high-value octets, almost wondering if it's a software bug in something out there:

Address: 66.252.224.242 01000010.11111100.11100000. 11110010

Maybe a long forgotten server with some ancient malware that keeps being moved around...

Mysterious

this is very interesting... been watching the work around bootc coupling with composefs + dm_verity + signed UKI, I'm wondering if this will build upon that.

Glad to see SunOS/Solaris still alive in some form in the Open Source space. Had heard of Illumos and OpenIndiana, but didn't know about SmartOS. It's definitely won me over with the NetBSD pkgsrc package manager... Very nice.

This is incredibly cool!

Fabs for ICs such as GPUs and DRAM chips are booked out well into next year or further due to demand from the AI industry. I wouldn't be surprised if these fabs also work on non-volatile memory chips, and or, the demand for these is high as well.

They'll arrive too late to make a difference.

I love this, I remember running a tarpit on port 22 on a spare VM at an old job of mine. Was entertaining to tie up all those scanners and be a pest to their runners.

The extremely large banner in this example is hilarious.

I love the ingenuity of this, truly in the hacker spirit! I also lol'd at how fast this got onto the FP given what these guys do, jolly good show gents! Well Played.

I do feel Ramon's (blog poster's) pain.

I'm so lucky that I'm at a place that I can see my direct manager actively protecting us from a lot of these things like random busywork and solutions for the hell of a solution. As a result we can get some really good work done and actually deliver on the large projects we're given in the roadmap on time.

I just hope Ramon can find somewhere that respects his talent and his time and allow him to do his best work without the stress. I really wish that for everyone (although, no perfect world exists)
