How high? What kind of problems?

I very recently upgraded from a dual fullhd to a dual 4k setup and I was genuinely surprised how little problems I had setting everything up to the high DPI displays. I am genuinely interested in hearing what pitfalls might still await me.

rhubarbtseon BebboSSH: SSH2 implementation for Amiga systems (68000, GPLv3)

Hostname is not the issue, it can connect and then fails some handshake or whatever. Adding verbosity just seems to hexdump the packets in addition to logging an error.

rhubarbtseon BebboSSH: SSH2 implementation for Amiga systems (68000, GPLv3)

I gave it a go (A1200+AmiTCP 4.3), doesn't seem to work unfortunately and I can't seem to find any issue tracker on the website.

rhubarbtseon DB-19: Resurrecting an Obsolete Connector (2016)

Male 262 degrees 8 pin DIN connectors (for C64 video cables etc) are readily available from for example AliExpress.

Couldn't find any female connectors (for the motherboard) though.

rhubarbtseon Symbian Source Code

It is not, unfortunately. It's missing plenty of proprietary middleware etc that you need to run it on Nokia phones.

IIRC you are supposedly able to build and run this source dump on some BeagleBoard.

I was there, coding multimedia stuff for the last generation of Symbian smartphones. I remember this dump was originally released on Gitorious (later acquired by GitLab) some 10++ years ago.

Fun fact: the source was originally supposed to be licensed under a different roll-your-own open source license (I think it was named "Symbian Foundation License" or something like that) but Nokia switched to Eclipse Public License 1.0 before the public release.

rhubarbtseon Initial M1 support merged into Linux SoC tree

It is the very effort that created the linked patchset.

rhubarbtseon A Security Issue in Intel’s Active Management Technology

It's about enabling a backdoor of sorts in your laptop behind your back.

Let's say you're at a hotel with your laptop. It has full device encryption enabled and the BIOS is protected with a password and it has all the shebangs to protect your laptop -- so you should be safe, right?

Someone distracts you for 30 seconds while an accomplice backdoors your laptop with this vulnerability.

Five minutes later while you're happily browsing Hacker News with your laptop using the hotel WIFI, the attacker has full and unrestricted access to your laptop via the very same hotel WIFI.
