Hardware/software reverse engineer and developer.

my buddy toast (wartoaster.com) made a teeny tiny model railroad on a pcb, with the train and tracks being a row of LEDs, the switches on the tracks being dip switches, and a reverser/throttle made from a potentiometer wheel.

He has called it Light Rail (get it?) and I just received mine in the mail. It is wonderfully useless.

@nelaquetan @virtulis @xgranade Kikibytes (kB) have more 1s than 0s; boubabytes (bB) have more 0s than 1s.

To avoid confusion surrounding bytes with equal counts of ones and zeros, the standard byte is defined to be a nonet, rather than the legacy octet.

@mose @0ddj0bb I would agree with Fedora as a general recommendation. I'm a fan of Debian for workstations and servers and Arch where I want to play around, but I tried a few different distros earlier this year and agree that Fedora is the best out of the box experience. It's also one of the few distros that tries to configure SELinux out of the box, which gives some warm fuzzies (though maybe that could cause pain down the line).

I never applied for an amateur radio license because I didn't like the idea of appearing on an official list of "skilled" people. Until now that was a theoretical fear. One I wasn't even sure if it was warranted or just me being overly cautious.

In Belarus things escalated quickly. Radio amateurs - usually recognized as men of goodwill - have been declared enemies of the state and publicly shamed and indicted for high treason.

@whitequark I've thought about something like this for THUMB to 32-bit ARM conversion before... I get the feeling early implementations of THUMB probably did exactly that in hardware.
You should play Outer Wilds.
