i got pulled into sysadmining for a research project. as luck would have it, not even 4 days later, Contabo decided to perform maintenance on a Friday evening and fucked up the VPS in such a way that any disk write command immediately freezes the entire VM.

adding insult to injury, support is not even staffed on weekends 🙃

PSA: Backdoor in latest version of xz: https://openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2024/03/29/4

Downgrade if you’re running one of the latest xz versions, it has been compromised. If you’re using mainstream distros, you may be fine (as they lag with versions a bit behind master). If you’re running Alpine or any other non-gnu or non-systemd distro, you should be fine too (the exploit checks for GNU, and also probably won’t work with distro-unpatched sshd)

@domi it looks like Arch narrowly escaped being exploitable: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/xz/-/issues/2

I really like the concept of FPGAs but when I want to actually get into them I remember that all the vendor bullshit and toolchain bullshit and HDL language design bullshit and I'm just way too tired to actually get through that and get into that ecosystem properly

I guess that it doesn't exactly spark joy, but it does spark FOMO

let me know when the gay catgirl crusade is done and FPGA toolchains are actually nice to work with

@whitequark that does sound relevant. I'm definitely exhausted and sometimes people tell me I'm disabled but I mostly brush it off and pretend I'm fine and normal

what's the trade-off? can I use it to develop bitstreams for all/most FPGAs? (maybe with some compatibility step like transpiling through Verilog?) can I interact with hard IP?

@mei@donotsta.re avatar

@whitequark okay, this sounds very promising! one day I’ll give it a proper try…

amaranth brings python arithmetic semantics to FPGAs

hm, what do you mean? the biggest part of what comes to mind when i hear “python arithmetic semantics” is “everything’s a bigint”, which… surely not? i mean, you probably could do it with something like abstract interpretation but that doesn’t sound like the level of abstraction? the example on the playground actually does specify that count is 4 bits (which is good! but it means that I don’t understand what you mean here)

@whitequark oh! yeah, that’s lovely

this has gotta be one of the best night trains I'll be taking in a while – direct couchette cars to Budapest aren't running during winter so I reserved a proper sleeper. at least as long as it's cheaper than flying, I'm not the one paying for it ^_^ (@ EN 407/477 ➜ Budapest-Nyugati) https://traewelling.de/status/2103558

the train attendant was very confused by my gender, but in the nicest way possible. he didn't know how to phrase it, but he basically asked for my pronouns. also, "when waking up, would you like tea, or coffee?"

wow.

Träwelling doesn't actually know of any "Warsaw – Budapest" night train. This is because this train is actually part of a polycule of four night trains that meet every night in Bohumin and Breclav to kiss and make out sloppy style (exchange cars with each other).

this probably has some meaning I'm not aware of but I want to believe that they just went "end of track signal? i guess we'll just put a light signal there and hardwire it to red"

climbed a fucking hill while in Budapest. probably the biggest workout I've had since covid began. unfortunately, the actual peak is fenced off for construction (@ IC 377 ➜ Bekescsaba) https://traewelling.de/status/2105697

the same sculpture photographed from up close, with a temporary metal fence in front. I've been told that the sculpture is reminescent of many you'd find in Zelda games
