kaszanka··on Archive your Reddit data before it's too late
Reddit actually used to be open source until mid-2017: https://github.com/reddit-archive/reddit
kaszanka··on Had a call with Reddit to discuss pricing
I wonder if the official smartphone app uses the same API as the one exposed and documented for third-party apps. It's my understanding that it does not because the unofficial app I use (reddit is fun) lacks some features, so just borrowing the official app's key and putting it in RiF is out, but surely it would be possible to adapt a FOSS app like Slide to quack like the Blessed Official App and let the arms race begin, no?
kaszanka··on AT&T Wireless traffic shaping apparently making some websites unusable
Wait, why wouldn't they know the port? I'm not aware of any cases where the TCP header itself is encrypted.

For those who are curious, it's the highest bit in port 70h (this port is also used as an index register when accessing the CMOS/RTC): https://wiki.osdev.org/CMOS#Non-Maskable_Interrupts

kaszanka··on Thunderbird Supernova Preview: The New Calendar Design
Remarkably, SerenityOS is actually an independent OS with its own kernel, not a Linux distribution.
kaszanka··on My Fanless OpenBSD Desktop (2021)
They replaced it with S0ix where the operating system remains running (Microsoft variously calls it "connected standby", "modern standby"). https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29122687
kaszanka··on USB kills off SuperSpeed branding
"UnTwisted", I suppose
kaszanka··on Fitbit users will have to sign into Google from 2023
If you have a supported band (which the Fitbit is not) I highly recommend Gadgetbridge[1], a Free app that respects you, doesn't require online login and never will.

kaszanka··on Apple to move to RISC-V from Arm for supporting cores
I don't understand this, aren't the AMX instructions[1] an example of an Apple-proprietary ARM instruction set extension?

kaszanka··on Adobe Photoshop: Counterfeit deterrence system
The single instruction patch mentioned in the parent comment is probably changing a conditional jump (for example JE - jump if equal) into an unconditional jump, or a NOP (no operarion) instruction that does nothing, depending on if the jump leads into code we want to run or not.
kaszanka··on FreeBSD on the Framework Laptop
I'll definitely come back to this if I ever install FreeBSD. I found one small issue:

    -rwxr-sr-x  1 games  games  1713664 Jul  9 17:01 /usr/local/share/nethack33/nethack33* 
    -rwxr-sr-x  1 games  games    19744 Jul  9 17:01 /usr/local/share/nethack33/recover* 
Here it's actually the SGID attribute that is set, not SUID.

It's not accessible (403) from Poland.
kaszanka··on Terraria Source Code (2013)

  if (num9 + num7 >= num6)
  {
    num8++;
    num7 += num9 - num6;
This looks a lot like decompiler output.

Ah, interesting. Sorry.

Wait, why is `close` in libpthread.so?

kaszanka··on New Laptop: Thinkpad P14s
Having to build out-of-tree drivers to get that Realtek WLAN card to work sounds like a real pain, it's good that Lenovo ditched that stupid PCI ID whitelist. (I think? I haven't had a ThinkPad in quite a while.)

> There are only a dozen people with that combination of surnames.

kaszanka··on The Framework Laptop is now shipping
I bet these "small vibrations" are due to some kind of coupling between the mains and the case. Dunno, not an electrical engineer. See if it still happens on battery power.
