And another open FPGA debug IP joins my rapidly growing suite.
These are all portable systemverilog and will run on anything, but the immediate motivation is making up for Efinix's rather lackluster debug tools.
The general concept is basically "CoreSight / ADIv5 for FPGAs". You have a generic transport (so far only UART is implemented) that provides read/write access to an internal APB bus with debug IPs hanging off it.
The debug bridge points to a ROM table …

Another tale of the closed web: a common thing on Instagram is that it doesn't send out Co-Post requests when you do it too often or they don't like you. It's one of the aspects or levels of being “shadowbanned”.
I often work with various kinds of accounts to publish my essays on Instagram to get more exposure. For example, pages dedicated to criticizing the police (useless.cops) or accounts showcasing ICE activity in Minnesota (MNicewatch) for my essay on Renée Good…

A screenshot showing the Instagram info page below a post only shown to its creator reading “useless.cops and 3 others were invited to be collaborators but haven't accepted yet.”
An Instagram conversation between “mypunksdead” where I wrote:

Posted!

They responded: “No IG notification btw, just so you know.

I responded: “Yeah, I saw. Since that day, no Co post request gets send.”

Gegen KI-Slop: Spotify führt Kennzeichung für „echte“ Künstler ein
Spotify kennzeichnet künftig die „Authentizität“ von Künstlern. Reine KI-Profile sind zunächst ausgeschlossen, doch die Kriterien könnten sich künftig ändern.

RE: hachyderm.io/@thomasfuchs/1166
I’m not sure if they will be able to make this work, for two reasons:
1. “AI” craze inflating prices will lead to low demand
2. While Windows runs natively, practically no apps do and many will never get ported because it’s a tiny market.
This will lead to most consumers and businesses to choose a x86-64 computer so apps and games run smoothly.
The crux why Apple could pull this off is tight integration of hardware and software, an extremely good transparent emulation layer for older software, control over the development tools that most apps are made with, and most importantly discontinuation of their Intel-based machines.
Additionally, they’ve had the same underlying OS and apps that share code running for over a decade on that architecture already on their mobile platforms, and they had the experience from another architecture migration in the mid 2000s.

It's always important to have a consistent #security policy.
For example, a policy of "If somebody filed a CVE, it's an important security issue, and we will fix it as such, no matter how meaningless the fix is. If nobody did, it's just a glorified bug fix, no matter how serious the bug was."
So we've just seen a #pip security release over "installing random packages can overwrite pip's files and pip can lazy-import some of them immediately afterwards", with a fix of "pip will no longer load them until you run it again" (leaving the underlying security issue of "any #Python package can override files installed by any other Python package" as intended behavior). As Eli Schwartz beautifully put it, you are not expected to be using the virtual environment; you should create it, install packages into it (at most once!), and then frame it and put it on the wall to admire.
Now we're seeing a "bug fix" for "malicious entry point names can write outside of virtual environment". If nobody filed a CVE, it's obviously not a security issue at all. At least upstream graced us with fixing it without correcting the spec to forbid that first.

Bin heute mal wieder in einem Zug unterwegs, dessen einzige Toilette »außer Betrieb« ist. Offenbar schon länger.
Wenn es nicht zu den Fahrgastrechten gehört, die Notdurft verrichten zu dürfen, dann doch sicherlich zu den Menschenrechten. Wer setzt sie durch?

Die Tür zur einzigen Toilette der RB 85 (74937) der NordWestBahn ist mit einem Hinweis zugeklebt, auf dem steht: "WC außer Betrieb". Im Hintergrund ein Plakat, das über Fahrgastrechte aufzuklären vorgibt.
