god help me i think i'm about to write a build system

I _desperately_ need a ticket for GPN for a friend from @fafo - as the ticket he was supposed to get from someone else apparently expired.

If you have such a ticket, or know someone who might, please reach out.

> Note that this definition of “based” is intentionally similar to the definition of “based” in C99, though it is slightly weaker.

llvm manual finally answering the “based? based on what?!” question

surface mount resistors or something (i don't know, i'm not an electrician)

@whitequark Fair point, and being an asshole isn't healthy for anyone involved. But it felt like a good way to cope woth the bullshit there - even though the correct thing to do is to just stop browsing that hellhole.

Orange website commenters when presented with the intricacies of a new to them engineering domain: Where's the LLM integration so I can do it too?!

I miss webshit weekly / n-gate.

I've been trying to avoid just complaining about technology here, but I've just discovered something so bonkers I can't not talk about it.

rust-matrix-sdk/examples/command_bot: 43MiB in release mode, 4m24 to build (excluding fetches)

mautrix/go/example: 16MiB, 1m8 to build (_including_ fetches)

I'm fine with Go having the faster build times here, and with it having a pretty large 16MiB output... but why is the simplest Matrix bot in Rust _forty mebibytes in release mode_ ‽

get anubis'd lmao

(thank you @cadey )

A sincere 'go step on a duplo' to all AI scraper bot authors.

pov: you're hosting a linux mirror on forgejo and you forgot to set a cpu resource limit

motherf-

in the worked office straight up reading the 'ARM ARM (ARM edition)'

and by 'ARM ARM (ARM edition)' haha well let's just say the ARM Architecture Reference Manual, ARMv7-A, ARMv7-R, ARMv7-M edition

Not everything that Newag does is bad.

For instance, I would like to congratulate them on making the shortlist of the European SLAPP Contest 2025!

Tomorrow is yet another hearing in the civil lawsuit of Newag IP Management Sp. z o. o. vs. SPS/Dragon Sector. This time we will be testifying.

It's happening at 10:00 at the 22nd Department of Intellectual Property on Czerniakowska 100 in Warszaw.

To those who wish to come observe the hearing (in Polish), you can come do so, refer to case numer XXII GW 493/24.

Belated holiday gift: a paper copy of the NEWAG S.A. vs. SPS/DS lawsuit in Gdańsk. 🥰

(The lawsuit was filed in September - that's the one we first heard about from social media before we even got any copy of it ourselves.)

@multisn8 @mrtick @redford Thank you! This means a lot. Having public support is what's keeping us sane :).

Już jutro kolejna rozprawa Newag IP Management Sp. z o. o. przeciw SPS/Dragon Sector. Tym razem będziemy przesłuchiwani informacyjnie.

Zainteresowanych ponownie zapraszamy do obserwowania na miejscu w ramach publiczności, sygnatura na którą możecie się powołać to XXII GW 493/24.

More iPod Nano 7G discoveries!

gsch discovered that if you boot diags from WTF (instead of from bootloader), you actually get a serial console... with full memory read/write.

Turns out this works because WTF ships with an EFI UART/Serial driver, but the bootloader doesn't. So if you run diags from WTF, you get that very nice serial console. And since both WTF and the bootloader are signed, you can just send them over DFU.

Who need exploits when you have built-in functionality? :)
