Mikrotik released ROSE with arm cpu and 20 u2 for around $1800 this year. My excitement was quickly cooled once I learn they only support their mikrotik router os, no Linux.

Are there any approaches to csrf tokens that don't require storing issued tokens on server-side?
firing: its hard to sue a fed employee for doing their job. and its on the plaintiff to prove that firing was not a part of their responsibilities.

(there were cases of DOGE lying + access to protected data, idk if plaintiffs can prove personal responsibilities tho, maybe some)

why would he? he had a hand distance from doge, and now his friend is no more. do the doge employees have dirt on DJT - unlikely.

a big round of pardons may come before new elections, it actually may be in 10K numbers, autopen'd.

You can do some cool stuff, like serving an RSS file that is also styled/rendered in the browser. A great loss for the 2010 idea of semantic web. One corporation is unhappy because it does not cover their use cases

Re:Detaching GraalVM from the Java Ecosystem Train on Sunday September 28, 2025 @01:47PM (#45406314)
| GraalVM for JDK 24 was the final GraalVM release licensed and supported as part of Oracle Java SE Products. Customers requiring further updates to legacy GraalVM versions should download them via Oracle Support.

Huh, that sounded to me that there won't be any new free graalvm versions? Sounds like a death record for a project.

Re:Tell HN: Whole Yandex Git repository leaked on Thursday January 26, 2023 @07:08PM (#34540693)
Its not only news service. Few services are left under the Yandex INTL. What are the services - ... you gotta know... they haven't published a proper disclosure, only couple of press-releases, which is alarming for a still part-public traded co.

I remember some sources that they've sold ALL their media services, and the INTL is only left with services like taxi and delivery.

a lot of people were scratching their heads on how to put optane to use. a fast ssd? or a slow DRAM? with a propietary api? and requiring support from the hardware platform? the whole product line was inconsistent as they use the same name for both storage devices and NVDIMM.

Well, ryzen 5000-family and threadripper 3000-family core count do not intersect(16v24). if you need more than 16 cores and dont mind spending twice as much per core, go with threadripper. otherwise, ryzen 5950x is an absolute beast when cooled properly and is only $480
