    For other distributions, the use of scp remains debatable. Considering the looming uncertainty, it will be wise to start moving to rsync.

    Porting Doom to Helios
    [10:11] schestowitz
    [10:11] schestowitz

    As I was working, I gradually came to understand that Helios was pretty close to supporting all of these features, and thought that the time to give Doom a shot was coming soon. In my last status update, I shared a picture of a Helios userspace program utilizing the framebuffer provided by multiboot, ticking one box. Weve had dynamic memory allocation in userspace working since June 8th. The last pieces [10:11] -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-drewdevault.com | Porting Doom to Helios [10:11] schestowitz were a keyboard driver and a C library.

    This large-format laser cutter was built from scratch for just $700

    [10:13] schestowitz

    When stuck between a cheaper yet small laser cutter and splurging on a much larger one, Owen Schafer decided instead to just build one himself. The project started with Schafer sourcing a 40W CO2 laser, which differs from a diode laser in that it uses gas heated with 16,000 volts to produce a very powerful beam of light. This had the added side effect of needing a water-cooling system since the tube tends [10:13] schestowitz to generate ample amounts of heat.

    An update on my simple golang TCL interpreter
    [10:15] -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-blog.steve.fi | An update on my simple golang TCL interpreter [10:15] schestowitz
    [10:15] schestowitz

    So my previous post introduced a trivial interpreter for a TCL-like language.

    [10:15] schestowitz

    In the past week or two I've cleaned it up, fixed a bunch of bugs, and added 100% test-coverage. I'm actually pretty happy with it now.

    [10:15] schestowitz

    One of the reasons for starting this toy project was to experiment with how easy it is to extend the language using itself [...]

    Supercookies Have Privacy Experts Sounding the Alarm

    Customers of some phone companies in Germany, including Vodafone and Deutsche Telekom, have had a slightly different browsing experience from those on other providers since early April. Rather than seeing ads through regular third-party tracking cookies stored on devices, theyve been part of a trial called TrustPid.

    [10:23] schestowitz

    TrustPid allows mobile carriers to generate pseudo-anonymous tokens based on a users IP address that are administered by a company also named TrustPid. Each user is assigned a different token for each participating website they visit, and these can be used to provide personalized product recommendationsbut in what TrustPid calls a secure and privacy-friendly way. Its that privacy- [10:23] schestowitz friendly part that has raised critics hackles.

    Raspberry Pi Pico W supports Wi-Fi and starts at $6
    [10:47] -TechBytesBot/#techbytes- ( status 520 @ https://linuxgizmos.com/raspberry-pi-pico-w-supports-wi-fi-and-starts-at-6/ ) [10:47] schestowitz
    [10:47] schestowitz

    The Raspberry Pi Foundation launched yesterday a new tiny platform based on the RP2040 silicon. The new device is called the Raspberry Pi Pico W and it provides connectivity by integrating the CYW43439 Wi-Fi/Bluetooth module from Infineon.

    [10:47] schestowitz

    The Raspberry Pi Pico W uses the same processor as its predecessor, the Raspberry Pi Pico. The RP2040 provides two Arm Cortex-M0+ processors with a maximum frequency of 133MHz, 264KB SRAM and 2MB QSPI Flash storage.
