The cops were (and still are) the ones doing the lynching, whether off-duty in white hoods or on duty lol

Also good to note: RiscV is not open hardware, it is an open architecture.

The CPU’s/MCUs made with RiscV are still 99% proprietary and they can put just aa many backdoors into the devices as they want with little no no oversight, arguably less because you have orders of magnitude less external bug and penatration testers.

Definitely in support of RISC-V because like AV1, open standards are the first big step, but it is good to note that “security” may or may not be better as well as the company behind it.

Damn, I was hoping that it would be an android app with Health Connect support 😅

Looks very nice though!

Every discussion I have seen on the subject says that docker ipv6 is pretty busted from a security perspective and you have to implement a bunch of workarounds.

I don’t have to time both to migrate to podman (and maybe have to run dual stacks for what isn’t available) AND migrate to ipv6. But apparently the way podman does it is also kind of a hacky way (I am far from a networking expert) so I will sit with my pretty decent, secure, and working ipv4 lol

Been using it (not often beyond basics for home server container administration) for years but I always get confused with searching vs search and replace vs global search

/<search> (n for next instances)

:%s/<search>/<replace>

:g/<search>/p (grep was named after this one IIRC, Global Regular Expression Print)

And often I just use :%s to search and highlight all instances and don’t press enter because I forget the others and I often have to search and replace for docker comppse snippets.

Yes, but also on the hardware level.

I don’t know enough about OS programming to know if it is the architecture or the (closed source, as mentioned) CPU design itself that is more difficult to implement.

Looking at the MCU space, even with a known architecture (like ARM), each processor has to be individually implemented in software and firmware which is a ton of work, and the only people who necessarily know how are the processor designers unless it is open source. But take that with a big block of salt, because I have never done it, just looking at industry practices.

Having used it in the browser, it barely works in a browser. >50% of functionality is simply missing. Pretty much only the very very basics of typing and formatting.

I also use libreoffice and actually like calc better than excel because python support ia a first class citizen for programming within the spreadsheet in Calc, but AFAIK macro spreadsheets aren’t very cross compatible, but I guess I work in engineering so every company I have worked with or for uses excel macros, probably not representative of other professions.

Eh, don’t know about that. Probably a very large portion of people would need word/PowerPoint/etc… For company document compatibility.

For sure a lot of people though could easily get by with LibreOffice.

The EU is pushing very similar things…

Literally Meta has been caught paying people through shell orgs all around the world to pass this kind of legislation.

I started using Dockhand for container administration. It is pretty new, but works well.

You can view container logs, update/restart containers, and run a terminal inside of the containers, but not the host system.

You can create a new socket proxy just for the containers that you want to give them access to maybe.

And every year new open mass surveillance worse than the UK and US attempts to be passed and barely fails.

GDPR also doesn’t mean shit if it is barely enforced against large companies or the fines aren’t revenue-proportional… Then it is just a cost of doing business.

How useful is it if the data or equations aren’t good?

The VO2max estimation they use is based on heart rate vs Pace data correlation. It is directly correlated to heart rate sensor accuracy. As QualifiedScientist on YouTube has found with his statistical comparison testing vs a polar H10 chest strap, many, MANY watches are <90% accurate with heart rate. Fitbit also has a ton of barely-accurate devices.

The Garmin algorithm has actually been studied multiple times and has around 5-7% error

Apparently fitbit VO2max hasn’t been studied, but anecdotal data by people doing a lab test to compare give quite bad results. 4-49% error! That is pretty much useless. There are also claims that fitbit uses BMI to estimate it which adds even more error.

Fitbit’a implementation seems similar to the bullshit recovery indexes, stress levels, and 2-4 degrees of abstraction metrics…

They should be the default for solar installations and grid-level storage, but are too new.

They can also replace lead-acid batteries for many applications.

Lithium will still rule microelectronics and wearables, but all lower density stuff should switch to sodium.

That being said, for cold environments like Scandinavia and the US Midwest & canada, sodium ion works better in both cold and heat swings than Lithium variants that it might be worth the tradeoff in capacity because in the long cold months, the reduced capacity and performance of lithium chemistries would completely close the gap anyways.

It isn’t open source hardware. It is license-free IC architecture.

The hardware will still be closed source in 99% of cases, but the architecture is “open” and can be used without licensing, lowering the barrier to entry for making CPUs (it is still very high as volume is the name of the game at fans. Tapeouts for testing a design can be €1k on the very cheap end, often more like 10K+)

A step in the right direction for sure, but open source IC designs are still quite limited.

Spinning up and down hard drives repeatedly drastically reduces their lifespan though. Once a day or so, fine, but if you set a 30 minute idle time or something and it spins them down a dozen times per day, you are putting acceleration forces on the drive many more times than intended.

If you have to buy a new HDD twice as often because you spin it down, any financial or environmental savings is instantly negated and in the end it is much, much worse in both respects.

My girlfriend has an A52 and her dad had an A23 (or whatever 3rd gen low-tier but not the cheapest).

Both of them regularly, from day 1 have lost cellular signal or 4G/5G signal, and my girlfriend even had to get a new sum card because the A52 simply refused to use it and she was “stuck” in the middle of nowhere with no GPS and no map and no cellular to call someone because of her Samsung phone.

They both barely worked as a phone for a long time. My xperia 5ii had a problem of losing 4G every once in a while until I turned airplane mode on and off again.

My point is that most phones, regardless of manufacturer, have shit signal or intermittent cellular problems, that vary from device to device. n=1 anecdotes are a pretty bad metric of saying whether a phone is good or not. Manufacturers should be required to publish standardized volume testing.

Not to mention that all new Samsung’s come with forced Israeli spyware that you can’t uninstall.

CrowdSec could probably catch a moderate amount of them, but that is really geared towards bad actors and malicious probing bots.

Fial2ban also wouldn’t work at all here since they aren’t trying brute force attacks, they are just using high bandwidth stealing as much public data from everything possible.

I think cloudflare is also making an alternative (or has already), but it is a tough problem.

Yeah my favorite electronics hobby supplies website has started to take 2-10 seconds to load. Still great service and the best selection of modules in my region though. They should really throw Anubis in front of it.

Also Falba.tech is stilll chugging along with beautiful bamboo and beech cases.

That is my daily driver (ergodash) with some subtle keycaps. Great so far except that it is still microUSB because at the time I didn’t want to shell out 30€ extra for the pro micro USBC version

Isn’t this the guy who has posted a bunch of purely vibe-“coded” spam and then deletes it if the backlash becomes too big? Like the “temple-runner game” posted last week?
