"how's ram shortage going"
this is trending on aliexpress
@whitequark What's old is new again:
Back when I built my Pentium-1 I carried over several MiB of RAM on SIMM modules to those new-fangled DIMM slots using a pair of SIMM→DIMM adapters:

#alt4you
Three RAM adapter thingies for the corresponding DDR3, 4 and 5 sodim modules to their dim counterparts.@glowl added, ty

@JamesWidman @mer @whitequark @patterfloof Memories of 72pin SIMM boards with 4x 30 pin sockets on them... and if you had 2 slots, you needed to remember to order a left hand and a right hand one...
@chloeraccoon @JamesWidman @mer @whitequark quick, to The Leftorium!

@datenwolf amazing, i haven't seen those before! (i am just old enough to have touched SIMMs irl)

@sverx the board is like $5
@whitequark I see. For some reasons I had assumed the laptop RAM prices were surging too... 🤔

@whitequark How about the other way around? Don't tell me it won't fit in my lappy, that's defeatist! 🤪

@whitequark makes me think again of selling my laptops ram after i finish uni in the next months, now that its so expensive it could pay my rent for over a month.

@whitequark Just today I was saying that I have a lot of SO-DIMM RAM, but need proper DIMMs

@whitequark I'm kinda surprised this even works, I thought the length of traces and such matters quite a lot with DRAM

@eloy it does but only within the same byte group, between byte groups the difference could be large and compensating for it is a big part of DDR training

Once I have had removed all 640kb of RAM off a PC XT clone to check any issues, and re-seated them. Looked very much like this (image source: https://www.reddit.com/r/nostalgia/comments/h8t32l/8088_motherboard_from_ibm_xt/)

@M0KHR @datenwolf yepyep, I think the earliest physical x86 hardware I've personally operated was a sub-ATX 386 and a few 486's besides that. fun toys

@whitequark ah, right, thanks!

When I built my first own PC (with a 386SX16 cpu I believe), it was the time when the first time an epoxy factory burned down and RAM prices shoot up.
I only could source SIPP modules (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIPP_memory) for a reasonable price. Thankfully they basically were SIMM modules with pins soldered on the pads, so I could desolder the pins and then use them as SIMM.
But boy was I sweating while desoldering due to the risk of destroying them.

@macfranc @astronomia ricordate di acquistare solo costosissime auto elettriche per combattere l'inquinamento.

@virtuous_sloth @scottjenson actually, it doesn't separate the composition of private mentions from other types of posts. It's an option on the drop down. If you forget to change the option, your PM goes out with the default visibility -- often public!

@evan @scottjenson
phanpy does a great job

I think some people were using PMs for potentially sensitive info (addresses, Venmo, etc.), and having them slightly more secure puts people at ease.
What about standard public-key stuff, dropping a short public key in a metadata field, keeping the private key on the endpoint or in the client?
-
@scottjenson not at all critical.
Hint: you could re-run this as a poll, for the question.
-
@evan the already improved UX looks good, to me.
When drafting a reply to a public toot, the word 'Public' is prominent (first screenshot).
When drafting a mention, the separation is clear (second shot).
Without being blasé about privacy: if a person accidentally publishes in either of those contexts, it's human error.

And.. you probably know, but just in case:
We have a solid spec for E2EE on the Fediverse now (https://swicg.github.io/activitypub-e2ee/mls) with #Emissary and #Bonfire launching later this year.
As you'd expect with end-to-end-encryption, *most* of the work is on the browser/client. The AP server changes are minimal: a new KeyPackage object to store, a new collection, & other small stuff.
When we have working JS code, it'll be AGPL, and you could use it as a baseline for Mastodon 😎
