Web games moved way beyong these style of games. Complex 3D using three.js and rigid body physics engines in wasm workers like rapier is feasible now. We can do full multiplayer pipelines with server authority, client prediction and reconciliation and still run at 60fps. Its really amazing what can be pressed into a single html these days.

This reminds me of something I read about memristors. Once they get cheap and fast enough to be sold in gb or tb sticks they might replace ram and ssd's/hdd's for some computers. This would allow a computer to boot once (at the factory) and then just return to the state it was when powered on again.

Nobody knows until the real world benchmarks arrive. But this is already a nice indicator for the next gen Ryzen's being powerfull.

The post made it to the frontpage, no surprise new visitors get greeted with "Server busy" now.

There will always be a performance loss unless you go the extra mile and passthrough the gpu. It already works great, but is not a breeze to set up.

I have written a "guide" for myself to replicate my setup. It is by no means perfect, but maybe it helps: https://gitlab.com/snippets/1678554

Running linux as Host and optionally starting my gaming vm. With KVM and various hardware passthroughs (pci network card, usb devices, gpu, etc.) it is as fast a native installation and sometimes even faster compared to my old bloated windows host. Ofcourse it was not easy to setup and some games needed tweaking (e.g. Just Cause 2 wanted to use unsupported cpu features and therefore needed an extra flag). But if one has the time and patience this is awesome.

Software on Linux is not always better. IntelliJ for example took focus two times on startup for a long time.

And companies.

It wont work with password managers or devices without keyboards. Unless a comma (or other char) separated string form is accepted by the implementation. I could also think of solutions for screen keyboards, but my goal is not to replace normal passwords but rather to offer an alternative where high security is needed and compatibility granted.

Actually I register groups when a key is lifted. You probably typed fast and had P still pressed when A was pressed. I do not yet have a solution to compensate for varying swiftness. These typos could be prevented with a some effort I guess. The groupings need to happen client side, timing data is not involved at all, only keyDown and keyUp events are used.

Keyboard Layouts should be no problem (except I missed something) since I use key codes rather than values.

Maybe the source also helps answering some questions: https://gitlab.com/FalkF/combopassword/blob/master/app/compo...

A Combo Password should offer more security but I still got to wrap my head around the math. I got a formula from someone helpful with a master degree in math in the stackexchange post: https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/3133516/number-of-p...

Even though it turned out to be perfectly explainable why this seemingingly random password is used so often, I find it a great opporturnity to self promote my more secure version of passwords:

I did open a post on Stackexchange about this: https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/3133516/number-of-p...

The comma is just there to visually separate the key combinations, I did not implement a better solution for visualizing a combination yet.

A normal alphanumeric (36 characters) password with 5 chars has 36^5 possible combinations: "12345"

A combo password also has this 36^5 combinations since you can enter a normal password (it is just 5 single key combinations): "1,2,3,4,5"

But there are even more combinations since you can press keys simultaneously: "12,3,4,5" or "1,23,45," etc.

The checkSequence flag toggles the password checks strictness. When false you can set the password "12,3,4,5" and entering "21,3,4,5" will still be valid since "21" is the same two keys pressed as "12". When set to true only "12,3,4,5" would be accepted.

Hi, I was wondering about use cases for n key rollover (apart from gaming) when I thought of using key combinations as a password. This is a small demo login to demonstrate my idea. There should be more combinations in a combo password than in a normal password of the same length.

I dream of a bright Future where my PC will have no ram, hdd or ssd but only memristor memory. No need for booting or shutdown, I just add power and everything will be the same as it was when last used.

Since I first read about them years ago this is still what I am waiting for even if it does not seem to be at grasp.

The linked video states they could recognize obstacles years later, so I think there was no reading of signs etc. involved. It must have been only lane mark recognition that was used to steer.

The van from the vid came years after the two mercedes s cars. I think there was no breaking for obstacles, exiting the highway, or even using interchanges. It was simply holding a lane (maybe change it when told to) and holding a set speed.

Correct me if I am wrong, as I did not read into the experiment.

Imagine it being 8pm, you sit in a operating room of germanys largest internet knot with up to 6,027 Tbit/s throughput and then the power goes down.

I am concerned that this even happened in a place important like this.

The article states internet was down for users at around 10pm (I expirenced it live). So they might have been on generators for two hours (speculation).

Shouldn't we decentralize more?

If the numbers of other places detections are simmilar high I can now partly understand the negative backlash.

People use it to do bad things, so this thing must be fundamentally evil. It is so evil, it does steal your processing power, that is worse than loss of personal data like credit cards and deserves to be the most evil malware of the millennium.

This is so right. Userbases can not be boiled down to some core attributes everybody shares.

Here is a followup post to the article. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16696865

Following the doxxing of the people behind pr0gramm.com the community knew that retaliation by ddos or other bad methods would not work for Brian Krebs, who enjoys DDOS protection by google. So they started a donation raid on the German Cancer Help Foundation, because Krebs literally tranlates to cancer in german. The raid is ongoing and unconfirmed sources talk about 11k donations. The avarage ammount seems to be > 15€ with at least one single donation of 10k€

This must be awesome to look at live. Also amazing to see drone swarms move out of labs with nets to a major event.

Sounds like an awesome setup :) How much load does your cpu have running so many containers and vm's? I have heard of software solutions for io switching. So you could get rid of usb switching.

I run an Arch host with passthrough myself but it was really a long project setting everything up just right. Especially for gaming.

Really looking forward to buying a Ryzen or Threadripper to go further and virtualize my working enviroment etc.

I dont know, but I heard about DP being able to daisy-chain. Meaning multiple displays on one output, including less cable stress.

Yeah thx for that OpenBSD, but you patched early when the KRACK ATTACK hit. There is one important rule to follow when using nda: dont sneak! But ofc they should get a new chance.

We do it even at home. Not full dep-server but local backup.
