• Auto Encrypt 5.1.0: Moves automatic IP address detection from top-level await to asynchronous createServer() method to enable servers that import to run offline when they’re running on localhost) and exports IPAddresses class so servers can carry out their own automatic IP address detection (IPv4 and IPv6) if they want full control over exactly which domains and IP addresses are included in provisioned TLS certificates.¹
• @small-tech/https: Re-exports IPAddres…

Memory leek

reading a prelim paper on scaling up gpu-accelerated database query engines and feeling kinda gobsmacked at where that world is at
i remember when we built a “massive” memory machine at princeton with … i think it was 256 MB of RAM. (it sat idle except when ken thompson was logged in and building hash tables for chess endgames which was most of the time)

The memory shortage that is spiking RAM prices is now expanding to the broader PC market, driving price hikes for GPUs, high-capacity SSDs, and hard drives (Andrew Cunningham/Ars Technica)

RAM shortage chaos expands to GPUs, high-capacity SSDs, and even hard drives
GPU makers may prioritize more profitable models; large SSDs are harder to find.

Very low-key "BTW". But it's an all-Linux build and I am happy 🙂 Clair Obscur runs like cr@p on this GPU, in case you didn't know 😑 😭

I'm hopeful that the current RAM crisis will end up tanking demand for other hardware to the extent that I'll be able to pick up a future Zen6 chip and AM5 board (or at least a 5950X) for less than they'd otherwise go for. Let's arbitrage this shit to our advantage! (I will shortly have a recurring CPU-bound task that will benefit greatly from doubling my core count or other improvements, and I do have 2x16GB DDR5 SoDIMMs that I could press into service with an adapter in a n…

Valve’s Steam Deck OLED will be ‘intermittently’ out of stock because of the RAM crisis
Valve’s Steam Deck OLED website say that it may be out of stock “intermittently in some regions due to memory and storage shortages.”
