Today I was referred to Cory Doctorow‘s new book: The Internet Con: How To Seize the Means of Computation. Apparently it’s basically just about the idea that web services should interoperate. I’m not going to read this one, but you might?

Chromium crashed
Today my chromium crashed like this:
------------------- Sat Nov 18 02:18:49 [bash:5.2.15 jobs:0 error:0 time:1] jj5@charisma:/home/jj5 $ chromium [1118/021851.032430:ERROR:elf_dynamic_array_reader.h(64)] tag not found [1118/021851.032474:ERROR:elf_dynamic_array_reader.h(64)] tag not found Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped) -------------------
…gonna try upgrading, apparently there are new packages.
Update: upgrade didn’t fix the problem, but a reboot did.
Moving interrupts to threads in the Linux kernel
Found an old LWN article: Moving interrupts to threads.
Linux Journal articles
I had a read of a few Linux Journal articles today. Easy reads that give you a high level view of what’s available:
- File Sharing on Linux Using NFS and Samba
- Combining Configurable Button Widgets With Kwin’s Shortcuts to Transform Your KDE Experience
- How to Monitor Your System with Zabbix
- Navigating the Linux Textscape using Vim and Emacs
- Locating Leviathan Files in Linux
- How to Configure Postfix Mail Server on Debian
ChatGPT policies
Today I got a note from ChatGPT today that the policies are being updated. I figured I might take some time to actually read them:
QUIC Loss Detection and Congestion Control
This came up in my feed today: QUIC Loss Detection and Congestion Control. I wish I had time to read it closely! It’s about how they re-implement the TCP bits and pieces (such as congestion control) atop UDP.
AliExpress sale
Today there was a promotion/sale on at AliExpress, so I picked up some consumables and a few natty tools. I paid the promotion price AU$63.46 for stuff on sale at AU$142.82 which normally sells for AU$326.12.
FPGA reading
Things to read to learn about FPGA programming:
- Designing Video Game Hardware in Verilog (recommended by @indigo)
FPGA options
I’m learning more about FPGAs. Haven’t actually purchased one to play with yet though.
- Adafruit ICE40 (recommended by @gwozniak)
- iCE by Lattice Semiconductor
- Papilio
- iCEBreaker
- iCEstick Evaluation Kit
- FPGA @ adafuit
- FPGA @ SparkFun
