    The trade off is that you’ll have to get used to troubleshooting and configuring a bit on your own, but the reward is that you are no longer an involuntary product of Microslop. :) Don’t get discouraged, be patient!

  • Run browser and/or mpv directly on hardware?

    Context: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKzRf8B-oDk Would it be possible to run mpv and a browser directly on hardware somehow? Perhaps in an environment that doesn’t classify as an operating system according to the definition in those California codes? I know that an operating system distributes workloads and facilitates communication between various hardware components, but would it be possible to build a Linux kernel that is “only” an interface to the CPU, a GPU, a sound card and a keyboard?

  • The behavior of /24 vs /32 addresses when using iptables

    I added a rule to accept connections from 192.168.1.135/24, since my router is configured to hand out /24 addresses. Then, iptables -L -v showed that connections from 192.168.1.0/24 are accepted. When I change the rule to accept connections from .135/32 - or from .135 without specifying the subnet -, it not only works as intended, but it also resolves the hostname correctly. Why? unsolicited “why do you still use iptables” advice not welcome :D

    It just struck me - watching Brad Wright’s Travelers for the third time - that even though we might not have developed light sabers or faster than light drives or teleportation devices yet, we might already have all the components or ingredients or raw materials “laying around” and the only thing standing between us and technological advancement is the knowledge on how to assemble and them the correct way. Aaand while writing this I realized what an oversimplification this is. We not only had...
