I'm currently sitting with an Aura 15 Gen 2, and I'm definitely happy with it.
I do wish they'd get their firmware onto LVFS, but that's about my main complaint.

Been using the KeyDB fork for ages anyway, mainly because it supports running in a multi-master / active-active setup, so it scales and clusters without the ridiculousness that is HA Redis.

I think the only project I've seen so far where I've felt that a blockchain has actually been the correct choice is Alfis, which is a decentralized DNS that uses the blockchain as the public append-only ledger that it is, and it uses proof-of-work to add arbitrary costs to updates - to make spamming or namesquatting expensive.

This won't really affect the development of ZLUDA much in particular, since the main developer happens to live in The Netherlands, and clean-room reverse engineering - especially for interoperability purposes - is fully protected by law in the EU.

But NVIDIA does really like to make it as much of a pain as possible to support CUDA software anywhere but for a single user on their personal consumer-grade desktop.

I feel like this could go really well together with Piet.
Just imagine; an album consisting of a bunch of Velato programs with Piet code as the artwork.

Version requirements? No rules!

He won't be allowed to perform at Eurovision with the Windows 95 name/trademark/logo, so it would be hilarious if he switches to a name like Linuxman during it.

Well, there are people running Linux in all manner of ways, like VRChat shaders.

This looks really odd in relation to other fediverse software; Why /magic and required to be on the root of the domain? Why hard-require routing the domain part of the user ID when .well-known/webfinger exists? Why is there a X-Open-Web-Auth header which the spec only describes as "its purpose is unclear from the code"?
So many questions.

I definitely like the idea of distributed sign-in, Solid did a decent work of that many years ago after all. This particular proposal just looks rather odd.

If you build a linked list in C, and put the pointer to the next entry as the first element in your struct, then you only need a single variable (and two comparisons) to do sorted insertion into the list.

Steve Rogers might have America's Ass, but Mothman has the Buns of Steel.
