ISP DNS can be dumb and confuse CDN geolocation.

When I lived in Malmö my ISP DNS would result in Akamai CDN content being served from Stockholm rather than Copenhagen which was a lot closer and faster.

When I switched to 1.1.1.1 this problem went away

Backups of docker containers? isn't the whole point that they should be cattle not pets?

> No, I don't work for MS corporation. I'm fucking using a cheap Azure VM instance running OpenSSH as a socks proxy. Otherwise, I would have to access it through my https-man-in-the-middle corporate firewall.

Download it on your personal machine then

Google "Mac Plus ROM" and it's one of the top results...

I would love to see some modern devs try to write software for a 68000 system with only 512K of memory

Owning conservative autocrats by giving them my money

The same code can be easily target another FPGA as long as you don't use any vendor specific primitives or IP cores

It's going to be more compatible with Word than Word is?

I was living in an Apartment in Sweden built in 2018 with only a central staircase and no sprinklers and never actually noticed anything else in the few years I lived there

Wow that is cool to see!

When I was a learner the hot bike to have in Aus was a 90s MC22 CBR250RR, all the newer 250 "sports" bikes were sad single or parallel twins

Why did they go for paddle shifting instead of a standard foot shifter??

For the extra 134 pounds over the original Ninja 400 you get a whopping 7.5 miles EV range

Why not just get a full electric like the Zero?

Hardly anyone has the money for a brand new car

> the 12V rail is also used for external devices, eg harddisk, cd drive, expansion cards, etc

External drives should have their own power supply and indeed the A590, A570, GVP drives etc all do.

The A500/A2000 Technical Reference (page 227) shows that the 12V current limit on the expansion connector is 50mA

The A600/1200 don't even have the expansion connector

Page 5 of the TRM specs the -12V supply at 100mA

> Too low current on the -12V rail can cause crackling sound.

Maybe if the current is zero

You're not an engineer.

In these machines +/-12V is only used for Audio op-amps, RS232 Line drivers and the floppy motor. everything else is running on the 5V rail.

Apparently ECC does not prevent this

> Rowhammer is a hardware problem ---- defective RAM --- not a software one.

It always amazes me how people can be so confident yet so wrong.

It's a problem of physics - there's various ways to try to mitigate it but the only way to completely avoid it would probably be to use SRAM and that is going to be extremely expensive when talking 16GB and not nearly dense enough.

It's not some conspiracy by "Big RAM"

The hardware's the easy part - then you have to write a device driver for one of these systems

Maybe now Carriers will get whipped by the authorities for allowing these kinds of attacks to happen

Indeed my understanding is that it should not require crazy hardware requirements - it's a serial protocol clocked by the programmer.

Here's an Arduino project to program CPLDS/FPGAs using XSVF files https://github.com/wschutzer/xsvfduino

I'd say that the cheap programming cables are abundant and already compatible with the vendor tools so there's not much motivation to reinvent the wheel.

> I think of it as having a nice set of 256 “registers”, in the zero page at addresses 0-255.

It becomes a pain making sure the monitor/bios and any programs don't stomp on each others zero page locations though.

Then if you start daydreaming about multitasking you have to worry about shoveling the contents off somewhere else whenever you switch tasks.

The 65816 at least can relocate zero page & the stack but if you're going 16 bit you're better off going M68K

Vivado works quite well from what I've read

We already have .1x which supports various auth methods such as certificate auth and can use policies to assign clients to VLANs

It didn't help that the media was hysterical claiming planes would fall out of the sky and nuclear reactors everywhere would melt down etc.

The page literally says you can use either Kicad or Altium.

The $200 monitor can be replaced in its entirety but then union rules mean you need a full-time union tech to swap it out and you need a bunch of them on payroll to ensure you have 24/7 coverage vs a vendor support contract
