Update on the Steam Machine knock-off: like I was saying earlier, there are some sharp edges on going down your own path building your own. The latest sharp bit is resuming from sleep which I'd argue is pretty critical for any "set top box". Can you wake it up from sleep via the controller and jump back into gaming?
Right now for my build, the answer is *yes. Unfortunately, that yes has the caveat of "and when it comes back from sleep you will be presented with th…

I do lots of long-ish horizon work (e.g. OpenSSL PRs I can't actually use for years after merging). Remarkable how bad LLMs are at even considering this as an option. Quick fix every time, even if there's a clear long-term right answer we should do instead. Does not bode well for the ecosystem...

If Multicast is the Answer -- What was the Question?
Multicast is (almost) as old as the Internet, having become a tool for increasing network efficiency but also enabling destination discovery in a number of key use cases, although misaligned economic interests have limited its deployment to domain-local usages. But recent advances in multicast technologies as well as the identification of new use cases for which IP multicast may be ill fitted yet network-level support may be desirable motivate to re-think old perceptions of multicast and its us…

Um die Schäden, die Darth #Trump allein in den eineinhalb Jahren seiner zweiten Amtszeit angerichtet hat, brauchen die USA wohl Jahrzehnte, um diese wieder zu bereinigen, und die Welt wird auch lange noch daran laborieren.
