  1. The description of the flag says:
    "When disabled, the site isolation mode will be determined by enterprise policy or field trial."

    The flag is shown as disabled for me, but it's obvious from Chrome's task manager that site isolation is enabled.

    I've had email for at least 4 other people with my name.
    When I was invited to a work party, I replied explaining that I'd been getting email for someone else with my name. It turned out that he had an @ymail.com address and people had been misreading it.

    Yes, the RSA encryption on the DS is only used when downloading a game from another DS.

    The RSA encryption on the Wii is used for everything, but has an implementation bug.

    This bug is exploited by Datel to create Freeloader and by homebrewers to create Wii channels, fake update partitions, etc.

    I've driven through Barrow Gurney in a car and it's not a fun experience.

    While the documentation sgstair has written will certainly be useful for writing a driver for dslinux, sgstairs wifi implementation can not be simply combined with dslinux to make wifi work.

  12. Re:What I'd like to see on Kernel, Shell Boots on DS Linux · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Is a VNC client or X11 client for the machine. This way, I could be somewhere else in my house, and check my emails from my DS, instead of going to my computer. Or I could check something on the web from the couch in living room.

    Somebody needs to work out how to program the registers for the wifi in the ds first.

    VNC and X11 should both be possible.

    Or modify the kernel so that an attempt to read any file actually streams it from the network to your DS for execution or editing.

    That's called "nfs", there's no reason why this wouldn't work.
  13. Re:Emulator on Kernel, Shell Boots on DS Linux · · Score: 1

    DSLinux is built as a single binary, not as a boot binary that loads an ARM7 binary and an ARM9 binary.

    Emulators that just emulate the ARM9 assume that the ARM9 binary will be loaded into RAM by the ARM7.

    With DSLinux, the ARM9 code is running from ROM to leave as much RAM free as possible.

    The ARM7 isn't currently used after booting, but it is used during boot to give the ARM9 access to the ROM.

    iDeaS is the only emulator that supports running binaries built like this.

    DSlinux does not yet work in iDeaS.

    I'm working with the author to get this fixed.

    None of the other DS emulators emulate both CPUs, so you can currently only run DSlinux on a real DS.

  25. Re:About the Kernel and newer users. on Linux 2.4.0-test1 Released · · Score: 1

    Compiling a kernel for Debian is automated by the make-kpkg script in the kernel-package package.

    This compiles the kernel and creates a debian package. When this is installed, the kernel, modules, etc are updated. Then lilo is run so the new kernel will be booted at next reboot.
