“They stood in a silence so heavy it seemed to bend the light around them.
Their smiles were hesitant — like doors that had forgotten how to open. And in that moment, I realized: freedom itself can be fragile.
We who survived war thought we had endured the worst — the bombs, the hunger, the endless waiting. But their stories shattered that belief.”

When I heard the prisoners were to be released, a fragile pulse stirred inside...
They stood in a silence so heavy it seemed to bend the light around them. Their smiles were hesitant — like doors that had forgotten how to open. And in that moment, I realized: freedom itself can be fragile. We who survived war thought we had endured the worst — the bombs, the hunger, the endless waiting. But their stories shattered that belief. They spoke of nights drenched in cold water while they slept, of wrists bound until flesh gave way, of blows that d...

I don't appreciate the people who mock this poor man. Every year there are countless mass sandwichings in schools throughout the country, and we tolerate it because we, as a society, have lost our way. Kids and teachers huddled in their classrooms as mustard and onions fly through the air. WHERE'S YOUR HUMANITY, PEOPLE??

I think this is progress.
I fixed the typoed atu_unr_limit and now the ATU is working, translating accesses to the 0x1000_0000 AXI space to configuration reads and writes in the PCIe bus.
But the data is always zero. I'm trying to write 0x41410000 to the BAR and it comes out as zeroes, and while the protocol analyzer shows me successfully reading 1327:1c5c which is the VID/PID of my test SSD, it comes out as zero on the AXI side.

Our Christmas tree didn't drink water this year. It's been pretty much dead for the past 2 weeks. Every time you get near it, needles fall off. It's been quite a mess.
Today was the day it came down. I really wasn't looking forward to having to pick needles out of everything we own between the living room and the door for the next year, so… I went Full Dexter on it. (And it actually worked.)

What Ticketmaster and Meta think the future of advertising looks like. Looks pretty bleak to me.

The Future of Advertising Is AI Generated Ads That Are Directly Personalized to You
"Advertisers are increasingly just going to be able to give us a business objective and give us a credit card or bank account, and have the AI system basically figure out everything else."

Hey all. Just wanted to post the other two #photos from my recent blog post https://www.franzgraf.de/blog/2025/a-familiar-mountain-never-gets-old/

Make no mistake, the only values the European Commission gives a single damn about are expressed in Euros and cents.
The guiding principle of the successor to the European Coal and Steel Community isn’t human rights, democracy, and the rule of law, it’s the Single Market.
How dare you even pretend to care when you are beyond silent in Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people, you despicable bunch of fancy-suited hypocrites.

Attached: 1 image 🤝75 years of the European Convention on Human Rights A landmark treaty that reshaped Europe after the second World War, protecting millions of Europeans and supporting our shared values of human rights, democracy and rule of law. Because human rights aren’t optional. They’re universal.

So, tonight's goal is to continue with ngscopeclient performance work.
I started out by doubling the speed of the eye pattern *again* by moving index buffer calculation from CPU to GPU.
Next up is going to be getting the 100baseTX decoder to not be so slow. Right now of the 43 seconds of CPU time in the current 1-minute benchmark, 26.9 is spent sampling the MLT-3 waveform on rising edges of the recovered clock.
The thing is, we already *know* the sample values at the re…
