Zeitlos is a work-in-progress SOC and OS built in tandem, giving FPGA computers a responsive graphical environment for running and writing timeless applications.
Re:Ask HN: What's the most stable form of digital storage?
on Monday April 25, 2022 @08:50AM (#31153707)
If you only need to store a small amount of text I sell a product that can theoretically hold data for over 200 years on ferroelectric RAM. Ideally you would store the data on several different mediums in different locations but this device may be something you'd want in that mix.
Re:The computer built to last 50 years (2021)
on Thursday January 27, 2022 @03:25AM (#30097758)
I'm working on building computers designed to last longer than 50 years. They are primarily for the sort of timeless applications mentioned in the article. It's hard to imagine what people will be doing 50 years in the future, but it's not so difficult to see what people were doing 50 years ago that they're still doing today.
Transferring data off the computers won't be a problem in the future, if people are still interested there will be adapters and interface modules available, or you can make your own because of the open-source hardware, software and documentation. The software won't need to be updated because it won't need to run the latest version of everything.
There will be some advantages to using simpler and less capable computers for certain tasks, but most people will still need a modern computer for doing things like paying taxes and viewing advertisements.
Re:Raspberry Pi Direct: buy RP2040 in bulk from just $0.70
on Monday January 17, 2022 @05:28AM (#29965158)
The RP2040 is probably overkill for many projects but the pricing makes it very attractive for almost everything except where power and size are a huge factor. Many less capable MCUs are more than twice as expensive.

Tilt is a platform for developers that enables you to easily accept cryptocurrencies from your website or app while retaining control of your private keys. Tilt avoids the _"Not Your Keys, Not Your Coins"_ problem by ensuring that only you have access to the private keys.
This project is just going public today and is still very experimental. If anyone is interested in trying it out, it would be great to get some feedback.

Just in case anyone wants to build one, you may find this useful. I made a 3D model that uses a small DC toy motor. I never got around to the software so I don't know if it will actually work.

Re:CouchDB 1.0

We've been using CouchDB in production for at least six months with our web-based content management system and our mobile advertising platform. We also use it to store scores for a couple of mobile games, and to store posts for PicBored, an anonymous image-based forum for Android. I am a bit worried about how well the replication will work with dozens or hundreds of servers, but it's working great with only a handful.

Empower the people with global democracy in the form of an open web-based voting system, show them what's possible and they may force laws to be enacted globally similar to the NI4D, become lawmakers, and end corruption. Many don't believe that the people are ready for that much responsibility, and it's better for them to be managed by the various elites, but the price for this will always be systemic injustice, economic subjugation, etc.
