i bit a corner off of it because the cross-section looks kind of like cake(epoxy sponge and glass raisins! yum)https://upload.whitequark.org/1772312997-20260228_204550.JPG

upon closer examination of the traffic it seems more likely that someone downloaded the cloudflare top 1M domain list and then hit grebedoc with spoofed Host: header for a big chunk of them

@magnetic_tape I find using hardware tokens onerous in general (it is difficult for me to stand up and walk around the house)if I lose a token I must re-register a new one everywhere, which is a huge cognitive tax on top of that

@whitequark oh no

11 things piled onto a MegaDrive/Genesis? (I may not have counted correctly) I'm surprised they didn't manage to fit a Power Base Convertor (SEGA Master System adapter/pass through) into that stack somehow.Admittedly, some of the goofiest tricks for that system were the "unplug XYZ cartridge, plug in ZYX cartridge without turning off the power and get infinite lives!" glitches.

@SnoopJ @whitequark @futuresprog yeah the whole point of v3 is the capability negotiation mechanism, with everything else being optional and up to the client to choose, so you can't really version it

@whitequark @ozzelot @RedstoneLP2 @jn not substantially taller than modern "gaming" RAM with all those flashy RGBs and whatnot tbh(which also wouldn't in my setup though, which i luckily maxed out before the AI bubble)

@whitequark tech people always try to generalize when looking for solutions.

@whitequark @glyph @jason Well, everyone ends up in the grave, so the only thing to distinguish one life from another is how it's lived. And I think I prefer to live in the way that I'm living to the way that my enemies live.

@floe @whitequark Does Makefile plus a bunch of hand-coded scripts count as a build system?

i finally found this picture again. it has infected me memetically a long time agoNever touch the terminals.Please don't. Cause of failure.This may be the cause.It is not possible to use multiple computers at the same time.It is not possible.

"... Intel Corporation, a partially state-owned enterprise with extensive links to the United States Republican Party and its armed wing, Department of War..."

@whitequark (both parts of that mess are really symptoms of deeper problems with the Anglo-Saxon legal systems, but the individual lawyers are probably just actors in that play)

if you want a picture of embedded linux development, imagine u-boot stomping on your face forever

debian doesn't make me happy either but it's less effort to maintain it for my laptop (the only multipurpose machine i run). everything else goes into the nixos hole
