tiernano··on NHTSA orders Tesla to prove its Cybercab is legal to sell, under oath
is the cybercab actually "for sale"? can they just get away with this by saying you cant actually buy it... its a rental?
tiernano··on Gary Kildall's Death Investigation
seems the HTML is showing not the page... adding a ?d to the end shows the formatted page... https://dfarq.homeip.net/gary-kildalls-death-investigation/?...
tiernano··on Watch me build out an 80s style BBS over SSH
seems to be working now... must have been a transient issue
tiernano··on Watch me build out an 80s style BBS over SSH
yea… ssh is setup…
tiernano··on Watch me build out an 80s style BBS over SSH
tried loggin in and getting "couldn't email the code; please retry or contact an admin." Tried with 2 different email addresses...
tiernano··on Free full BGP feed. IPv4 and IPv6
Seems to be from 6 years ago.
tiernano··on Show HN: Clawputer – A personal AI assistant with a real computer and memory
should probably mention on the page that its free for 1 day after you add a credit card and 20 quid a month after... you only find that out AFTER you text...
tiernano··on New Lifetime Plex Pass Pricing
Glad i bought my pass when it was a lot lower (looks like i paid $75 back in 2013...).
tiernano··on Show HN: Holos – QEMU/KVM with a compose-style YAML, GPUs and health checks
Interesting. Wonder could it be modified to work with proxmox?
tiernano··on How HN: Free API that detects antidetect browsers and VPNs in 40ms
Interesting. Only thing that worries me is the unlimited for free... How? Looking at this for a business case... Is it still free for that? What about server limits? How many requests can I send to your server? 50/s requests is what I would be seeing on one of our apps... Suppose using caching would reduce the calls but still....
tiernano··on Tailscale Peer Relays is now generally available
It's free for up to 3 users. After that you need to start paying.
tiernano··on Transformers v5 GA is out
links?
tiernano··on Linux kernel framework for PCIe device emulation, in userspace
ohh now thats cool! Thanks for the links!
tiernano··on Linux kernel framework for PCIe device emulation, in userspace
interesting... x1 would too slow for large amounts of storage, but as a test, a couple small SSDs could potentially be workable... sounds like im doing some digging...
tiernano··on Linux kernel framework for PCIe device emulation, in userspace
even though it would be optical, it still is using PCIe protocols in the background...
tiernano··on Linux kernel framework for PCIe device emulation, in userspace
Hmmm.... Wondering if this could be eventually used to emulate a PCIe card using another device, like a RaspberryPi or something more powerful... Thinking the idea of a card you could stick in a machine, anything from a 1x to 16x slot, that emulates a network card (you could run VPN or other stuff on the card and offload it from the host) or storage (running something with enough power to run ZFS and a few disks, and show to the host as a single disk, allowing ZFS on devices that would not support it). but this is probably not something easy...
tiernano··on Show HN: Microwave – Native iOS app for videos on ATproto
Installed. Had a look around. Quite fast. Nice and responsive. No option to share though… wanted to send a video outside of Bluesky and no option. I can re-whateverthewordisinbluesky, but no external share.

tiernano··on Show HN: Blog post runs P2P from my laptop
Any more details on how it works?
tiernano··on 10GbE
i think the main reason is that 99% of users, even most businesses, dont require more than 1Gb... Yea, if you are moving massive amounts of data around, 10Gb is handy, but 99 times out of 10, 1Gb will do. And its a chicken/egg situation. Since most people don't necessarily need it, manufactures wont make them in bulk... With the advent of larger games and faster consoles, maybe going to 10Gb will happen soon...
tiernano··on MinIO is now in maintenance-mode
Is this not the best thing that could happen? Like now its in maintenance, it can be forked without any potential license change in the future, or any new features that are in that license change... This allows anyone to continue working on this, right? Or did i miss something?
tiernano··on Building a 2.5kWh battery from disposable vapes to power my workshop [video]
Don’t try this at home. Try it in someone else’s home first.
tiernano··on Show HN: Dayflow – A git log for your day

tiernano··on Starlink is currently experiencing a service outage
Yea. Mine is down and listed as heating. And getting a public up, not a cgnatted 100.x.x.x I usually get. Weird...
tiernano··on Encrypting files with passkeys and age
In my last job, we used a key that was stored on a user machine to sign documents... always wondered if something like PassKeys could replicate that... given documents could potentially need to be signed by multiple users on behalf of an entity, having the cert on a user's drive seemed like a security issue... It was password protected, but still.... Replacing that with PassKeys, and having that stored on a phone or even in something like 1Password would potentially solve some of those issues...Does anyone know if that is possible?
tiernano··on AirPods 4
Where did you get $20 from? Looking at the Apple site, without ANC they are $129 and with ANC they are $179. The Pro 2 costs $249.... Am I missing something?
tiernano··on Shortest-possible walking tour to 81,998 bars in South Korea
reminds me of a question they used to ask in the Irish army back in the 60s. My Dad told me this. "How do you get from Bachelor's Walk to Collins Barracks without passing a bar?". People would spend hours and days working on the answer. In the end, the answer was "Go in to every one".
tiernano··on Apple's $22B Loss Risk as Google Might Cease to Be Default Search Engine
I don't think you get what I mean... Mozilla made 85% of its revenue from Google in 2023 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Corporation). That goes away; who is going to pay that? 653 million income, 555 of that from Google... Google stops paying; that's 98 million left over... Their dev costs were 260 million. How do they make up the shortfall?
tiernano··on Apple's $22B Loss Risk as Google Might Cease to Be Default Search Engine
Hmmm... Apple losing 22B is one thing... But what happens to Mozilla? How much could they lose? That would be worse for the community...
