Isn’t that like a short holiday?

So back in the days of the Atari ST we had compact disks (sic).

Most games shipped on a single floppy disk (so 720k or 1.4Mb) and rarely used compression given the base system only has 512k of RAM. The crackers would strip the protection, repack the data and patch the loading routines to handle that. Depending on the games they could fit 3 or 4 games on a single disk.

Nowadays the dynamics are different - games on consoles do use compression but they have to favour speed because they are streaming assets just in time. The PS5 even had dedicated decompression hardware to keep up with the data rate on it’s fast SSD.

Why would you? Effectively you are storing the address of the address at the address. It would get more complicated if there where post/pre increments or index offsets involved.

I thought CoPilot was just a rebagged ChatGPT anyway?

It’s a silly experiment anyway, there are very good AI chess grandmasters but they were actually trained to play chess, not predict the next word in a text.

Seems fair enough, these things cost money and the #BBC is in a race to diversify it’s income in preparation for the license fee going away. The dynamic description sounds like they want to preserve the casual visitors experience of an open site.

I get ads on my BBC podcasts when I’m abroad. I assume that’s all part of it.

I think the first proper internet I had was downloading files from FTP servers at university. The first time I had it from home was over a modem to Demon ISP running some cobbled together TCP/IP stack for my Atari Falcon.

It was wild back then, I think even on windows you needed to install an IP stack before you could do anything because Windows didn’t have one but default because why would you?

Very expensive and still slower than an hard coded ASIC.

The article says it only applied to apps requesting certain permissions. I agree I’m an ideal world it would be nice to get f-droid directly from the Play store but at least according to the article the ability to install it isn’t being blocked here.

From the article it sounds like the limitations come for some app types downloaded directly from a browser. I think this doesn’t affect alternate app stores like f-droid where you are effectively delegating approval to their process.

I have come across the other limitations mentioned with the Home Assistant companion app which I could only get matter registration to work with the version downloaded from the Play store.

Did Wordpress ever fork our have people just been migrating to alternatives?

I can second the alcohol free beers. The modern ones have excellent taste and hit the refreshing hoppy spot for me and are much better than juice or sodas when it comes to calories. I’m not totally dry, I drink 2-3 units a week, but I’m certainly feeling better for not having alcohol every day.

I’m forever telling my children to pay attention in car parks because they are full of moving cars.

Basically you need to hook into decryption engine being used and copy the unencrypted data before it gets sent to the hardware to play. I assume something like Widevine sends the data directly to the system codec for playback so you could look at the syscalls it makes for that.

We use GitLab for hosting and CI as well as the issue tracker. Just the patch workflow goes over email although we have considered just maintainers submitting pull requests once the review and tags have been collected on list.

A lot of the more senior maintainers find the process of patch review in the webui suboptimal compared to email.

It’s an ongoing debate in one of the projects I work with if we should move to a more forge oriented development process. For all it’s faults email does provide a good record of discussion as well as evidence of review.

PipePipe seems to work with my login to play age restricted stuff. I do generally have to trigger a login through settings and then research the video through.

Does anyone know what the underlying filesystem is on DSM? The ability to easily replace disks with a degree of redundancy across the 4 bays is the biggest plus point for Synology although I have no doubt all the bits underneath are the Linux storage stack.

It’s a shame because I really like the point and click nature of DSM. Although I’m a happy Linux hacker I don’t want another Linux box to suck up my limited admin time just to store files.

A lot of the Emacs language modes have been replaced with tree-sitter equivalents now.

Bold of you to assume we’ll make it that far. I’m not convinced that our current networked CO2 phase isn’t another great filter event.
