NetBSD holds record for most supported architectures. Like 50 diffrent, while Linux like maybe 20...

Oldest one: VAX780 from 1978(!!!). First 32bit xpu with mmu


I once got raided by the Police for hosting tor node for just literally 3 weeks! (about 5 months later)

Police seized EVERYTHING, and I got my hardware returned to me after like 1 year.

Got caution for sharing pirated software, but they didn't prosecute. It was in the UK.


Good antivirus should protect you from such attacks. Even zero day ones.

Very cool and BBS/hacking style. BUT almost useless on mobile :(

I prefer to use a PC but that kind of articles are perfect to read when commuting.

You could just use <br> instead of fixed length words per line.


Agreed. Though apparently you're being downvoted for a legitimate issue. I'm laying down using my phone and it's not particularly enjoyable to read.

It's 2026 - the site can look like an old-skool zine being displayed with monospace fonts on a computer monitor and easily still have alternate formats for mobile devices. Not having it is just pure laziness.

I wouldn't mind if Reader Mode could deal with the text, but it can't. Oh well.


Please write an article about that French computer Project idea: find 64kb kb of such memory and connect it somehow into Apple2, atari and other 8bit cpus hehe

It must be possible to have some hardware adapter to map RAM into that type of memory.

Or even over serial...

ps. Related story: around 10 years ago Texas Instruments started to use FRAM in some of their 16 bit MCUs (msp430 family)

It works exactly like core memory - data still intact after power resets.



FRAM is a somewhat common retrofit for battery-backed SRAM: https://bastelblog.runlevel3.de/en/restore/ds1250-fram-repla...

This os is supposed to be run on bare metal AFIK for same reason

Its the same as Ketamine?


No one is using it in real life. It's a super weak hobbyist protocol with a lot of hype and marketing.

Seriously. Only rich nerds in SAN FRANCISCO are using it.


you should read about ham radio mate... there are some amazing protocols and modulations to save power.

And of course: 7mhz 0.5W transmitter could be heard worldwide... no jokes.


I have my license, and I noted about this in the post. I experimented with the U4B for tracking and found it not to be reliable enough. For the future, I'm planning on using the 70 cm ham band for LoRa.


It's on a balloon, right?

No point pissing about. Go to 4 metres, dangle a J-pole from the bottom.

There, now you've just about got Over The Horizon capability.


I got my last job and I didn't own a laptop as I was homeless. Had to borrow it from a mate.

It happens:)
