Agreed, I've got a couple tracks I'm looking for from that era that escaped backing up and no one (that I know) even knows if the artist is still alive. Sometimes I'm not looking for a major label recording, but a one-off from an independent musician.
That's a (mathematically) strong statement, and an actual problem for research.
I can see several issues there. What are the minimum requirements for a computable system? (Conditional branching is generally good enough.) How do you prevent attackers from having those? How do you deal with timing attacks? Do you move to a constant time design? Power attacks? What are you going to do about boundary protection, rad hardening?
It ultimately comes down to: is it possible to build a perfect black box that computes only its intended function f and yields no information beyond the mathematical descriptions of its inputs and outputs?
They do exist; we know how to treat them using category theory. What else is the IO monad for? We have not done so yet in any meaningful way for the broader class of unintended side channels.
I dunno, my 8-core Galaxy S9+ seems fine with rendering websites. After all, that's what I'm posting from and do 98% of my browsing from.
As to the Pentium IV, definitely! Perhaps 7 years ago, I was given a Pentium IV tower, and I threw it in a corner as a headless media server. It only lasted the first month, because of the $40 spike in my electric bill.
Whereas my bench at home has 20 Cortex-A53 cores on it, and the kill-a-watt doesn't creep past 65 W, including 1 TB external RAID, 2 USB hubs (why not?), el cheapo RF keyboard/mouse dongle, two JTAG debuggers, a USB-UART dongle, TV, and HDMI matrix switch. Parallel make and distcc are pretty speedy when you run them that way. (Bit of a personal side project, but you get the idea.)
The boot situation is particularly tangled. Still, the *way* the Raspberry Pi brings up the system is a step in the right direction (see the GPU being used in the same manner as the Z80 was to bring up the 6502 on the Commodore 128). Now, that's specific to one vendor (Broadcom), but maybe ARM could take a hint and formalize that a bit?
It's trivial to drop a new kernel onto one via the SD card or serial.
The A72 does, however, do speculative execution. And ARM chips aren't invulnerable to cache attacks, either. That said, I really like the A53 (as implemented by the BCM2837) But what got me was this about Ceph,
The ceph-deploy utility must login to a Ceph node as a user that has passwordless sudo privileges, because it needs to install software and configuration files without prompting for passwords.
I've been using LG HBS-850 Bluetooth earbuds for several years now. Sadly, they're discontinued, but they're pretty easy to repair. Brand new battery life is anecdotally about a full day (12 hours), and later on, maybe about 8. They're super comfortable, have in-ear-canal buds, and are generally durable (good for rain, sweat, industrial environments, etc.). I have two good pairs right now, and I basically never take them off, just swapping them to charge.
The real reason I'm stuck on these is comfort. All the other ones they sell are blocky, with sharper edges, which is not ideal for 24/7 wear. (I have tinnitus, and even soft white noise keeps the ringing and distraction to a minimum if I'm trying to, say, sleep.) They also make excellent ear protectors, blocking outside sound better than standard foam earplugs for me.
The big downside to them is that the cables, though retractable, which helps greatly reduce snagging, can still occasionally get pulled too hard and that knocks out that earbud--but that's an issue common to the form factor, not unique to these headphones.
Overall, they're absolutely fantastic (excellent range, good sound, okay microphone), and if LG ever removes head from tail, I'll be among the first in line to buy new ones.
For starters, you might try compressing stuff and see what's incompressible, and therefore likely random binary data. You can do some sifting for false positives (images by magic number, etc.), and the rest should be a reasonable pile of cryptographic data.
All agreed there; that's why some of us browse at -1 permanently, so we can dig through the wreckage and upvote hidden gems (defined as Shit I Like).
What makes the system of moderation great is that it allows us to use our own squishy matter between the ears to decide what we'd like to see, instead of nanny stating us like sheeple.
Wow, that looks awesome. Thanks for sharing that. I actually have a small fleet of RPi3B+ sitting on my bench at the moment, so I'll probably grab a microphone out of the junk box and wire it to one.
The transformation will come when I allow one into my house, because it runs 100% locally with open source code and audited and/or open hardware. Not before.
Oh, who am I kidding? The next generation doesn't care about those ideas and values. And... that's okay. I'm not in the business of forcing my values on others, but it's sad to see.
Fortunately, I don't have to, because, statistically, the average American consumer pays a large corporation a significant fraction of their income (12% on a card or higher, because they need to make market rate and a bit for inflation). They carry a balance, so I don't need to in order to benefit from the credit card company--an enormous corporation--having a vested interest in not allowing disruptive merchants to drive away interest-paying customers.
In my case, there was no lawsuit, and I only needed to call the credit card company. This seems far more typical than the lawsuit case.
I don't want anything removed. It's also okay and normal to be offended at things.
Being offended is not mutually exclusive to free speech. It's only when authoritarians like yourself suggest that an external third party to my own brain should be allowed to decide what I see that there becomes an issue.
It's not a raise. You don't need more free time to overcome the effects of inflation--you need an actual increase in the number of monetary units.
By keeping gross wages static, Amazon is allowing inflation to give their workers a pay cut. Every year, they can purchase less and less in goods for that money.
Except that I'd win that lawsuit in a heart beat. I can prove I was fraudulently charged, and the credit card company was happy to assist. Also, my credit union account was established when I was a baby. They're not about to give me a headache over a loan--I have literally been their customer my entire life. Further, Spectrum called me back and said they corrected it, and wouldn't be billing me for that anymore.
Why would you encourage consumers to live in fear of corporations?
It works just fine, thank you. Charter/Spectrum here has no competition, and they can't very well send me to collections for a router there's oodles of documentation proving they refused to send to me for an entire year.
Want to share? I'd be happy to help repost the removed content.
You know, I just emailed feedback@slashdot saying I'd like to donate--moments before those posts were removed. But I won't give an attocent if you're going to delete posts, objectionable or otherwise. Those comment threads weren't even shitposts--there was a debate going.
Apparently there are some mods abusing the system. I've been hanging around this story all morning, because it's Saturday and I can relax and be lazy reloading Slashdot.
But I'm really irked. An entire comment thread, starting with a comment about the nature of the community filtering out easily offended people, just vanished. At least 6 posts.
Did I miss something? An entire comment thread on this article just up and disappeared. Like... actual comments. The post count dropped from north of 90 to 84.

+1, well said.

Sadly, it's slammed right now. 504.

Well, if you'd stop shining the bleeping thing in their window at night, maybe they'd stop shooting it out.
Strange how that works.

Hard pass, thanks.
You started out with such a level atittude in the first paragraph, then you really stalled. Are you sure your MCAS was enabled?
I, for one, would like to be the first to welcome our very short baseline interferometric overlords.

Damnit, that's actually not at all as billed, and in many ways just as bad.
It can't run 100% locally. It requires you to make an account with their servers and send your data to them.
Screw that.
Wow, that looks awesome. Thanks for sharing that. I actually have a small fleet of RPi3B+ sitting on my bench at the moment, so I'll probably grab a microphone out of the junk box and wire it to one.
