schestowitz__                    <p> Since we have been experimenting quite a bit with multi-core processors with our Pro product, the “Portenta,” we decided to build an Arduino board based on this new silicon. </p>Jan 22 07:09
schestowitz__                    <p> We started from the Nano format with its own tiny footprint, leveraging on some of the existing key features of other Nanos like the versatile u-blox NINA WiFi and Bluetooth module. The goal being to enable people to develop connected products leveraging our hardware powered by Raspberry silicon, a solid radio module with exceptional performance, and the Arduino Create IoT Cloud. </p>Jan 22 07:09
schestowitz__                    <p> The new board will come packed with some high-quality MEMS sensors from STM (namely a 9-axis IMU and a microphone), a very efficient power section, and a bunch of other innovations that you can already spot from the design. </p>Jan 22 07:09
schestowitz__                    <p> Whereas the majority of microcontrollers use embedded flash, the new RP2040 chip uses external flash. To provide plenty of space for all your code and storage we’ve included 16MB flash memory — this is also particularly useful to allow OTA (over-the-air) updates.</p></blockquote></li>Jan 22 07:09

schestowitz__                    <p> Unlike the mostly open source, Broadcom based Raspberry Pi boards, the Raspberry Pi Pico is fully open source, with schematics and design files already posted. The exhaustively documented RP2040 chip is also far more open than any Broadcom processor. For the first time, RPi Trading is encouraging a third-party ecosystem of spinoffs and potential competitors to the Pico, starting with eight boards from Adafruit,Jan 22 07:09

schestowitz__some recent IRC postings do not included the IPFS section. Is that due to connection issues to the raspi or something else?Jan 22 11:08
schestowitz__I've only just noticed that about half of the latest ones are http section only (in http://techrights.org/category/irc-logs/ )Jan 22 11:09

schestowitz__81.154.168.60Jan 22 11:11
Techrights-sec2IPv4 number changed again, and I did not spot it and the script does notJan 22 11:12
Techrights-sec2notice just that particular type of failure.Jan 22 11:12
Techrights-sec2I'll tweak the script.Jan 22 11:12
schestowitz__Should I add the missing bits from the homedir to the respective IRC posts?Jan 22 11:12
schestowitz__Now that Brave and other s/w adds IPFS support we can stay ahead of the curceJan 22 11:13
schestowitz__*curveJan 22 11:13
Techrights-sec2Sure, or if you have a lot, I can add them.Jan 22 11:13
Techrights-sec2Yes, IPFS support in Brave is quite a good thing.Jan 22 11:13
schestowitz__It's on your homedir and you might be logged in already, I didn't count how many miss that section for IPFS, but maybe 3 or 4 only. Just a copy-paste job.Jan 22 11:14
schestowitz__The images in the bulletins have become a bit clearer with Braille and I've quit experimenting with further improvements as the features I see advertised for the new release (1.6), e.g. dithering, would not improve clarifyJan 22 11:15
schestowitz__The DNS bypass would help further, but the setup process is harder, I'll cp the manual to your homedir for a glimpse (I read it several times already)Jan 22 11:16
Techrights-sec2Just two were missing.  They're added now.  The IRC log posts haveJan 22 11:21
Techrights-sec2been updated.Jan 22 11:21
schestowitz__excellent, thanks. I noticed cause I wanted to test access to the CIDs when IPFS is down (Rianne is on VOIP, won't work with IPFS up). It worked OK, the p2p-like nature of it means I can peridically take it offlineJan 22 11:22
schestowitz__I've copies ipns.txt to your homedirJan 22 11:23
schestowitz__Case of point, the pi generated https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmZLpEkMvn45imTBGmeekevAHJ15hpQ7toQtEeM83P818B/ last night and is down down, but that CID is still accessible, and fastJan 22 11:24
schestowitz__"down down" -> down right nowJan 22 11:25
Techrights-sec2Ok.  I'll look at the file this afternoon.Jan 22 11:25
Techrights-sec2back in a bitJan 22 11:25
schestowitz__OK. Based on IRC and geeks that come in, there's a lookout for alternatives to browsers and www/http/htmlJan 22 11:25
Techrights-sec2Yes, its not so much a problem with XHTML+CSS but all the JavascriptJan 22 11:39
Techrights-sec2that Google and Facebook are forcing on everyopne and the gen Z developersJan 22 11:39
Techrights-sec2who go for that shit.Jan 22 11:39
Techrights-sec2It used to be that a web page or even a web site was a commodity.Jan 22 11:39
Techrights-sec2Due to custom Javascript, only the original team can maintain or expandJan 22 11:39
Techrights-sec2the sites now.Jan 22 11:39
schestowitz__Should we maybe address those points in an article. tbh, once I'm done with the Intel series I'm sort of in need for more exclusive or interesting topics.Jan 22 11:40
Techrights-sec2Well, the decomoditizatin of the WWW is a big problem gettingJan 22 11:41
Techrights-sec2some coverage in isolated blogs but not anywhere else.  TRJan 22 11:41
Techrights-sec2did cover it a bit during the last 2 years but not in depth fromJan 22 11:41
Techrights-sec2a policy matter.Jan 22 11:41
Techrights-sec2(BTW Gannett owns a whole shitload of 'local' news sites)Jan 22 11:43
schestowitz__one can tell by mass violations of GDPR in almost all those... no matter the domain, and almost always the same message appearingJan 22 11:43

schestowitz__A number of questions were added to the survey to determine how workers are coping during the pandemic and telecommuting.Jan 22 22:36
schestowitz__You will find here a link to the "Coronavirus - European Public Service Survey" on the working conditions in times of Coronavirus. This survey originates from USF, Union Syndicale Fédérale, the largest unions federation of the European institutions. The aim of the survey is to have a large overview of the working conditions under the present circumstances across the different European institutions and organisations and to identifyJan 22 22:36
schestowitz__general recurrent patterns, areas of concern and possible improvements for the future.Jan 22 22:36
schestowitz__The survey, is completely anonymous. It takes less than 10 minutes to be completed. It will be open till mid-February 2021. The final results will be available end of February, beginning of March 2021.Jan 22 22:36
schestowitz__Please fill in the survey in order we can have as many answers as possible.Jan 22 22:36
