2. What this license does NOT permit
Without a separate written agreement signed by Ambient Flare, no one may:

I’m sorry what? Are you saying this is a source available project that we cannot compile and run ourselves? Then what’s the point of source available? So that we review the code for no benefit to ourselves?
Yknow, other than the 16GB RAM (reasonable given the situation), this aint that bad, for similar specs (Ryzen 5 7600, RX 6750 XT), I paid 1100€ at most two years ago
Of course, the rest of the components also matter, as well as the VRAM difference, but could be worse anyhow
The Xbox Series S was also ‘up to’ 4K, so I guess this is expexted, but still I wish manufacturers took their plausible deniability advertisements a bit more seriously…
For startup costs, ~80€ for a used micro PC a few years back (+100€ for a 1TB SSD for it).
Since then
I never bothered with electricity costs, since it’s a small micro PC. It probably uses sub 20W average, which, next to an AC, fridge, and WFH costs, has to be negligible, the cost of buying a measuring device in itself is probably not worth it

Given that there’s an acknowledgement of the tool in a 1996 article, the software may even be older than sex itself
Also what a time capsule this page is lol, nothing wrong with it really… just a relic of a different era
That was quite a refreshing article, and so… human, probably the biggest compliment nowadays.
People love open source software not because it’s free, but because it is open. That openness brings all sorts of benefits
And I really love this quote from it, I stopped to think for a bit about it, but yeah. Being open and trusting the source is waay more important than being free monetarily
Wow ‘can’t keep pace’ is a mild way of putting it, the article says an RX 6600 XT gets on average 3x as much FPS in Cyberpunk as this flagship card (~240 vs 80) :D
Still, everything has to start somewhere, and I’m always happy for potentially more competitors in the market, that only helps us consumers
- 2026-05-07: Submitted detailed information about the vulnerability and the exploit to the linux-distros mailing list. The embargo was set to 5 days, with an agreement that if a third party publishes the exploit on the internet during the embargo period, the Dirty Frag exploit would be published publicly.
- 2026-05-07: Detailed information and the exploit for this vulnerability were published publicly by an unrelated third party, breaking the embargo.
Well, that’s reassuring - hopefully, since the patch for it is also described in the repo, distro maintainers can patch it quickly
Wow, I am nowhere near the farming field and have heard about this years ago
…for something this far-reaching, $99 mil seems awfully low
My setup is a barebones Alpine Linux with ssh and docker, and everything I run on it is a container (except backups).
Those I manage remotely (remote Docker context), so the only time I have to log in is to do an update for the few system packages and that’s it. And for that ssh is more than enough
Thing is, a large percentage of internet-connected users might have two or more devices. The simplicity offered by a cloud (be it hosted or selfhosted) password manager is a huge benefit.
And unless you’re already running a syncthing-like service for something else, setting it up just for a password manager when other services provide it out of the box, is not worth the hassle usually.
Lmao I had a boss who was soo enthusiastic about Zed…
I tried it once but it somehow newer clicked for me, I’m kind of happy now that it didn’t
Blackrock goes brrr
A simple start for that is skipping either breakfast or dinner if stricter rules would be hard to follow.
If you eat lunch at noon, dinner at 8pm, and you don’t eat outside the afternoon, that’s immediately a 16-8 IF.
But a pound a day seems like a quite drastic target nevertheless. Smaller changes are way more sustainable long-term
TIL ordnance and ordinance are two distinct words with distinct meanings
Airpods, for when you forget to take your jeans with you somewhere?
Edit: man i’m dumb i thought it was about airtags
Shocked, I tell you
I’m looking forward to the Steam Frame, hopefully it’ll support SteamOS out of the box
And look, using AI for code completion is not communing with the devil, but writing an advertisement for your own project with practically no human-sounding sentence… kind of is, why should we trust your project if you didn’t even put effort in your post either?
