I did, but the combinatorics are mad. I have also tried training a meta-model that predicts the outputs of the combinations.

I will make another post if the topic is popular; its pretty geeky though, even more than my usual blog posts...

My first idea would be to generate one of those heatmaps using RYS as the base model. And see if it gets meaningfully better. And then again!

This is a real shame. I'm using X11 still because Discord doesn't work properly with Wayland, and the alternative (Vesktop) doesn't support keybinds when the window isn't focused. Since my distro (Arch) doesn't support holding back packages, I guess I'll have to switch distros entirely so that my Discord setup stays working. :/

You can use IgnorePkg in pacman.conf. Things might break, but the feature exists.

Slower. 4 times slower.

Because a malicious ssg could expose private files (private keys etc) at a hidden url only the attacker knows to scan for, drop malware that grants them non-static file access, or really anything that other compromised binaries can do.

But we are not talking about a malicious ssg, we are talking about a vulnerable ssg that somehow needs to be patched. Unless your ssg connects to the internet, this is a non issue.

UPnP exists and allow devices to ask the router to open a port to them.

That doesnt help with CGNAT.

Does anyone know what's going on when the TheZZAZZGlitch's emulator reports that the game tries to jump to an invalid address? I'm not so familiar with the ARM7 processor used in the GameBoy Advance, but I can't imagine how it would be possible to construct a jump call with an invalid value. Additionally, what would happen if one of TheZZAZZGlitch's incorrectly reconstructed ROMs was run on a real GameBoy?

You can use the bx instruction to jump to any address stored in a register.

It would crash, and eventually start playing the ROM on the speaker, the whole point of the video :)

No but with the raspberry you're not there without a power supply, case, cooling and storage.

Add them up and a Quad-Core N100 becomes equivalent. Here they're on Amazon for 180€ with 16GB ram and 512 GB storage. And cheaper options with less storage and ram (usually coupled with the sightly slower N95 chip)

It's not a pi and if you want to integrate it into electronics a pi is much better but for the "small mini server" usecase I don't see the benefit of going for a pi anymore.

cosarara · 2 years ago
We were comparing the N100s not to the Pi5 but to this $98 Wo-We AMD: https://www.wo-we.com/collections/mini-pc/products/mini-pc-a...

The grandparent comment said you could get an N100 for the same price, but they are all more expensive no matter how you look at it.

For the same price you can get boards with Intel N100 which are newer and more powerful.
cosarara · 2 years ago
For x1.5 the price, from what I can see. Are there any under $100?

While I agree with the sentiment, and it's awesome that a lower-specced version of the game exists...

> port [...] to consoles like Xbox original

Uuh, in the name of energy efficiency, let's not. My smartphone is much more powerful and has a much lower power consumption than these systems. My Steam Deck even more so, though it's higher-power than a phone.

Targeting energy-efficient, low power hardware should be the goal, not porting to inneficient obsolete HW, IMO (though it's pretty cool, and demonstrates that you can do a lot with little computing power).

Still, I agree that something that runs well on old commodity hardware can run well on most existing hardware, reducing the need for hardware upgrades.

But my point is, running ond old HW is probably counterproductive if you only value ecology. At best, you could emulate old HW with much more efficient modern HW, and integrate most of the system on a single low power chip.

The typical modern gaming PC uses a lot more power than the original xbox. Yes maybe it's more efficient because it's doing "more", but in the end it's one person playing a game.

I don't see how NixOS doesn't provide 2.

It's extremely easy to apply patches.

cosarara · 3 years ago
Depending on what you are patching, it will invalidate a great part of the cache, and you will be looking at very long build times for everything in your system.
