What happens with the Fifth Amendment when a platform imposes passkeys and you don't have a device with a pin (if that even possible to combine them) ?. Given you don't see the password, then you can't memorize it.

Does DigitalOcean still only propose up to 4 basic cpu as droplet maximum ?. All their compute capacities disappeared overnight 2025/2026 without any reason.


I heard all the RAM scheduled to be manufactured next year had already been sold out. Maybe that's a related phenomenon?

e.g. Hetzner tripled prices recently.

Looking at the hardware behind the post [1]:

    1. Do you have any experience with this kind of processors versus a traditional cluster of raspberry PIs ?: is it less/more stable, or a nightmare in term of executable compilation / compatibility ?

    2. Any recommendations for an EU based alternative ?

Does it support DPDK for fast packet processing or maybe SR-IOV ?. Given the price tag, I suppose it doesn't, but the documentation is sparse.


I dont think you can install your own OS on this, yet? :) , in order to do 25GBPS on ARM, I am sure they are doing some sort of DPDK ( I mean user space networking.). I would love to learn more on how do they achieve 25GBPS on this little arm64.


Almost guarantee that they aren't doing 25GBPS on the arm chip but on the dedicated ASIC.

I know for most of the Mikrotik platforms what gets offloaded to the ASIC and what gets handled by the CPU is a big deal in performance tuning and selecting the correct product for your use case.


I also think they only achieve about 15GBPS on their backplanes of their routers with SFP28, enough to show a benefit over SFP+ but not really full speed.


Lack of SR-IOV is mentioned in the article.


Well don't donate your body to France [1]. Some witness even alleged the medical team played football with people heads.

My sister (a doctor) told us of a few rather unsavory incidents that happened with body parts during her time at medical school.

Its pretty common tbh.


Yikes! I hope that was a corner, nee coroner, case, but it would not surprise me. My mother was a student nurse in the 40's. In the U.S. for context. She told me of corpses floating in a big tub, or vat, at uni, and that they had to take them out and dissect them for class. She didn't mention any peculiar schenanigans as you describe and I am glad she did not.


shenanigans (no "c").


Good catch. Thank you.



It looks to me that Vodafone attach an id to a flow by using the device network id (sim, imsi or maybe the MAIDs). Then the website, when generating the html page, can ask Vodafone this id and include a targeted ad.

^The twitter post is more informative.

It's an alarming trend against users. At least the ISP could propose a reduced subscription fee when TrustPid is used and an alternative "normal" price for users that opt-out when signing the contract, but it wont happen.


I am not sure what is Netavark about: are they deprecating the CNI convention and rolling anew one or is it some-kind of a new layer of abstraction ?.

What if I wanted to: keep using Cilium with Pod in the future, or having a chains of multiple CNIs ?.


I am perplex. Solar energy for example don't take into account the cost of renewal of the panel (every 20-30 year) and the cost of recycling / storing the toxic photovoltaic liquid [1]. The IRENA projects[2] they can fully recycle this toxic waste and recreate value from it, which is bold imo.
