ludde··on Midjourney Medical
Will there be a way to use this scanner for people that are unable to stand up because of a disability or medical condition?
ludde··on ZFS 2.2.0 (RC): Block Cloning merged
If I manually deduplicate/copy a 1GB file, how many such offset/refcount tuples would be created in RAM? Just one for the whole file, or one per underlying 128kB block?

Have been looking forward to this for years!

This is so much better than automatically doing dedup and the RAM overhead that entails.

Doing offline/RAM+in memory dedup size optimizations seem like a really good optimization path. In the spirit of also paying only what you use and not the rest.

Edit: What's the RAM overhead of this? Is it ~64B per 128kB deduped block or what's the magnitude of things?

ludde··on Zelda: A Link to the Past (SNES) re-implemented in C
The screen transition and text scrolling is not as laggy as on the SNES.
ludde··on Open Source Game Clones
All the assets were recreated by various designers/people. In the early days it depended on the original game's resources.

Nice to see this list. I'm the original author of both ScummVM and OpenTTD. Feel free to ask me anything :)
ludde··on WireGuarding the mainline
TunSafe is Open Source nowadays so most of those caveats are moot.
ludde··on I made my own WireGuard VPN server
I don't want to lose control over it. If I open source it then anyone could just take it and rebrand it and pretend it's theirs.
ludde··on TunSafe WireGuard Client for OS X
There are some benchmarks here https://www.wireguard.com/performance/
ludde··on TunSafe WireGuard Client for OS X
Yes - that's what the WireGuard author did. I didn't even discuss TunSafe.

Also the official not-ready-yet WireGuard cross platform Go/Rust clients require this "scary" driver.
ludde··on TunSafe: A High Performance WireGuard Client for Windows
The only 'supported' WireGuard implementation that exists is written by you in C, yet you complain that my C++ implementation lacks memory safety. Where is the logic?
ludde··on TunSafe: A High Performance WireGuard Client for Windows
No, it's implemented in C++.

As the author of TunSafe and µTorrent, I wonder if you base that statement on facts or is it just an attempt at spreading FUD and general dislike against non open-source applications?
ludde··on Newest version of uTorrent has Bitcoin mining offer during install
That's correct! (Yes I read HN)
ludde··on Spotiamp – Long live the Llama
We did not have the resources to make a Mac and Linux version unfortunately.
ludde··on Ludde's FPGA NES
I agree, his project is very cool. Kevtris is where I got the inspiration to make my own FPGA NES from. I also mentioned him, and linked to his web page, in my blog post.

I updated the article after seeing his remark.
