Re:Iran Shuts Down Starlink Internet for First Time on Sunday January 11, 2026 @11:04AM (#46576875)
Iranian address space is no longer in the public routing table.
Not sure we're thinking the same way, but the C64 and Atari had bitmap modes, not just tile or character modes.

The Amiga is fixed RPM or CAV, not CLV like the og Mac. With one exception- later models could halve the RPM to read/write HD floppies (1.44MB PC or 1.76MB Amiga).

I'm running a home server on an N100 (ITX model) with a 32GB DIMM, works well.

I have an Epson V800 and a Flextight, the output is much better on the flex tight. There's more to it than just the manufacturer's DPI flex.

Just tried that on VICE and got some at signs and a crash. What does it do on real h/w?

For some reason I still remember 646, 53280, 53281 (pokes), 30120, and yes 64738.

Re:NASA/APL Interstellar Probe Mission Architecture on Sunday June 19, 2022 @08:43PM (#31805023)
peak speed: 7 au/year, so time to half way to P. Centauri is ~19k-years

(I realize this proposed probe has a much shorter lifetime, but was curious)

Anyone have more insight into this? An overheating contactor doesn't sound like something that can be fixed with software (except to ignore it).
You could use a squid proxy elsewhere to uplift the crypto/cipher/PKI, which would get you browsing the full web again- however, you'd potentially fall victim to an unpatched Safari based exploit.

My experience is that this practice brings things back into spec while still cold.
Does the toolchain on x86 still build an x86 and ARM executable(s)? Perhaps that contributes to the 2x build time?
So the integrator circuit implies it determines the exposure time during the exposure? Meaning, the metering is ongoing during the shutter opening?
I don't think this can be the case across the board. I control the reverse DNS for my cable modem IPs and still see the downgrades during peak-neighborhood hours.
