iberator··on Sensitive Info Goes into 'No Reply' Emails Constantly. This Guy Sees It All
someone once bought dozen of google.com bit flipped domains hehe.
iberator··on NASA figured out how to keep its Voyager 2 probe running for another year
Voyager runs on assembly. only 10 instructions. Very simple and real RISC processor
iberator··on NASA figured out how to keep its Voyager 2 probe running for another year
By simply measuring radio data they measured the size of solar system and density around it. super important subject for future Interstellar travel. same with temperature and radiation levels
iberator··on Voyager 1 FDS Computer Emulator
Wow. Only 10 instruction set? Looks like father of RISC cpu design
iberator··on Bubble Memory
FRAM is also used in all modern MSP430 microntrollers from Texas Instruments. Amazing technology
iberator··on 9front "This Was Supposed to Be Fun" Released
What is it? Some hobby operating system or what?
iberator··on CP/M-386 – CP/M for 386 protected mode, derived from CP/M‑68K
Does it support flat memory model or its banked like DOS ?
iberator··on NetBSD 11.0
Moat portable OS in the history of computing. It supports like 20 more architectures than Linux, including VAX 780 from 1979(!!!) that can run it out of the box - same source codeBASE as in x86 or ARM etc.
iberator··on Memo-1: A 6502 computer built from scratch, using a Minitel as its terminal
300 baud will not work. arp/tcp/ip have too much overhead even with small MTU.

slip/plip/ppp is workable from 1200 baud up.

iberator··on French firefighters face 'pyrocumulonimbus' for first time
wow amazing comment. awesome rebuttal or whatever you spell it
iberator··on Condui – A single desktop app for SSH, SFTP, tunnels, Docker over SSH
1. Make standalone Windows version 2. Make screenshots in English instead of Italian(?)

Then I would use it instead of mobaxterm hehe

iberator··on Forth
FYI: Forth can be very readable!

IT DOES NOT NEED TO BR ALL IN ONE LINE

Most commercial forth source code is totally readable and maintainable:

comments, newlines, macros, high level commands etc

It's a total myth that its 'write only'. The same nonsense is spreaded by some nerds who actaully never wrote a single program in it.

ps. same goes to COBOL. 99% of fud by guys who never even wrote a simple program in it.

iberator··on No Stack Overflow, No Autocomplete: What Coding Felt Like in the 80s
You can always recreate it for Windows or Linux. Perfect hobby hehe
iberator··on Original Apollo 11 Guidance Computer source code for command and lunar modules
yeah. its common myth. Assemblers with labels and macros can be very easy to read and write

It's way easier to learn basics of 6502 or x86 assembly than to learn a new JavaScript framework from scratch.

iberator··on 3GPP Version 19
3gpp is sets of standards and teleco infra. highly advanced stuff. not just video
iberator··on Show HN: UOLT – 34 coreutils rewritten in x86_64 assembly, no Libc, no heap
You should contribute to ELKS project for sure
iberator··on Frame – Linux X server in Assembly
assembler is fun and kinda easy. easier than learning any JS framework in my opinion serious here.

Modern macro assemblera are fun

iberator··on The Conservationist Who Turned 40 Terabytes of Public Data into a Video Game
Not everyone have fast or unlimited Internet. For example my 4G phone that im using for having internet is capped at 40mb/s and 200gib per month.

But 10km from the city center i barely got 2mb/s (megabits).

iberator··on Jurassic Park computers in excruciating detail
You can forward X windows over slip/plip or ppp running on rs232.

TCP/IPover serial lines is a thing!

iberator··on British Steel taken into public ownership to protect 'vital' UK supply
The government has its own money. For example from national owned companies like airlines, mines, factories etc

Richest countries have a lot of government owned companies. USA is just an anomaly because of Chicago school of economy.

This is a common myth spreaded by free market freaks.

iberator··on World-War-Ⅱ-era telephone line still in use in Upper Tanana Valley Alaska (2021)
Great example of why we need goverment doing social things for free for citizens
iberator··on Goes-19 weather satellite enters Safe Hold mode
make torrent of it
iberator··on Japan develops a method to recover up to 90% of lithium from used EV batteries
who cares? India is very dirty even without any kind of manufacturing - awful mentality of just throwing trash and shit around.
iberator··on OpenBSD has a use-after-free allowing local privilege escalation to root
Blasphemy
iberator··on Ternlight – 7 MB embedding model that runs in browser (WASM)
Prime example of wasm supremacy over JavaScript. Stack machines for the win hehe
iberator··on The Junior Developer Extinction: 67% Hiring Collapse Reshaping Tech Careers
From 200k to flipping burgers for minimum wage. My reality since 2022.; Once you are out and above 35 you are DONE.
iberator··on Burned out creating public software
If you create software with AI you are no longer a programmer or creator.

You are low level manager.

I hope that capitalism is gonna FINALLY teach those people a lesson: you're gonna got paid only when physically interacting with code - not when AI is working 90% of your time.

So instead of a 10.000 salary you're gonna get 1000. Only fair solution to stop this nonsense and evil.

Ai takes jobs faster than creating the new ones.

iberator··on Open dataset of cannabis growing problems (79 structured diagnoses, JSON/CSV)
hmm. How is this legal here on HN? This link is literally illegal in most countries?

pa. Weed is one of the most psychotic drugs (top 3 if I recall according to the studies).

iberator··on The first early human eggs from stem cells
How can I compete with a 60B$ supercomputer(AI) AND with DNA modified superhumans from rich families?

We are DOOMED.

iberator··on This is my attempt to get Vulkan going on NetBSD
Oldest supported machine for NetBSD is VAX 780 from 1978(!!!). One of the first system supporting mmu, 32 bit cpu, virtual memory etc etc

This machine is so slow that it takes a lot of time to generate ssh keys etc. We talking here hours hehe

NetBSD is known to support like 60 architectures - many of them low end embedded systems: so ftp AS A CHOICE (you have other options!) is very smart and easy
