    LittleZone is a tribute to the 1980 video game Battlezone

    [07:45] schestowitz

    Back in 1980, the video game Battlezone was released, and it marked a major advancement in the world of computer graphics since it was the first game with a 3D first-person perspective. In it, the player must pilot a tank around a battlefield and fire at targets in an attempt to rack up the highest score possible. So as a way to commemorate the groundbreaking game, Mark Wilson created an approximation that [07:45] schestowitz runs on an Arduino Uno.

    A Bunch Of Linux Gamers Are Trying Fedora Out In 2022

    Another month, another chance to look at the distro stats on ProtonDB. I dont typically cover them that often, but this time theres definitely a new trend to focus on: Fedora usage is seriously on the way up.

    Calling for Jonathan Carter & Chris Lamb to resign from Debian
    [07:48] -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-danielpocock.com | Calling for Jonathan Carter & Chris Lamb to resign from Debian [07:48] schestowitz
    [07:48] schestowitz

    It turns out that it is not just a whole lot of money at stake. When you involve lawyers, everybody's dirty laundry has to come out. Serious people quit and new people will be reluctant to replace them. Carter has demonstrated with his own words, above, that he did not calculate the real cost of this extreme act of bullying. Therefore, the only act of leadership remaining for this Debian Project Leader is [07:48] schestowitz to apologize and resign or prove that some other party, like Google, blackmailed him to do this.

    Since a few years I am also managing tlcontrib the supplementary TeX Live package repository. It contains quite a lot of packages which cannot make it into TeX Live proper out of various reasons. Thanks to CTAN Team, package pages on CTAN now also show if the package is available via tlcontrib. Here is an example from the classico package: [...]

    New HTTP core specs

    [08:04] -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-New HTTP core specs | daniel.haxx.se [08:04] schestowitz

    Before this, the latest refreshed specification of HTTP/1.1 was done in the RFC 7230 series, published in June 2014. After that, HTTP/2 was done in the spring of 2015 and recently the HTTP/3 spec has been a work in progress.

    [08:04] schestowitz

    To better reflect this new world of multiple HTTP versions and an HTTP protocol ecosystem that has some parts that are common for all versions and some other parts that are specific for each particular version, the team behind this refresh has been working on this updated series.

    mechArm pi 270, a 6-axis robot arm based on the Raspberry Pi 4

    [08:50] schestowitz

    A few months ago, Elephant Robotics launched the myPalletizer, which was a robotic ARM with 4 degrees of freedom (DOF) built around the Raspberry Pi 4. The company has just released a similar robotic ARM that has 6 degrees of freedom, 270mm for robot workspace and its also powered by the Raspberry Pi 4 for easy user interface.

    [08:50] schestowitz

    It seems that the mechArm Pi 270 was originally showcased on Indiegogo and Kickstarter. According to Elephant Robotics, the mechArm team has officially joined them.
