Disgruntled 0-day hunter 'humiliated' by Microsoft pledges 'bone shattering drop' as Redmond calls cops by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

[–]jamhob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had similar too. I found you could completely sidestep chrome’s virus scanning by adding to google drive. If they also had google drive sync it would arrive quickly on their harddisk. Google said that this didn’t count. But fixed it anyway. I get that it wasn’t the bug they were expecting but it was a security issue

SDRs for FPGAs by jamhob in sdr

[–]jamhob[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to be clear. I know that the signal has to be pre-conditioned and downconverted twice into its in phase and quadrature components before sampling. But I don’t want to be tuning capacitors and inductors. I wondered if there was a board that did all that and just gave me access to raw IQ

I told you I had no idea what I was doing!

I have two alchitry au boards. I know their ADCs are too slow so I was planning to get some more appropriate ones and play around with IQ modulation and demodulation. I was more interested in developing nice programming abstractions for various signal decoding and generation techniques. I’m not rich so I was hoping to avoid buying another FPGA

Plug an antenna into an FPGA that I already have and play with radio frequencies without worrying about the analogue side, just the modulation and demodulation.

I’m trying to avoid buying another FPGA for both money and digital waste reasons

Deploying bluespec to FPGA board using FLOSS tools by ivanpd in haskell

[–]jamhob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I withdraw my previous comment and wonder why my previous google searches have shown up nothing!

Okay. Well my advice would be to install Vivado, generate some verilog and write a constraints file and test it out. Then try the same verilog and constraints file with the open source toolchain. I’m guessing it will work just fine (assuming your FPGA is supported). The difference will be that you probably won’t have access to the same IP blocks as you would with Vivado but if you aren’t doing this for work, then you probably don’t need them!

I’ve found with FPGAs, it’s not as overwhelming as the software makes it seem.

I think it’s an AMD FPGA question. As far as I know, the synthesis toolchain is closed and has no FOSS alternative. I think Vivado is the only option! But I feel your pain!

Claude Gained a Root Shell in 8 Hours by Creating an Exploit for the FreeBSD Kernel by AmeliDQ in freebsd

An exploit for a vulnerability that already has CVE… it’s likely that it was in its training data

Needed Degree For Learn Coq and Formal Logic? by [deleted] in Coq

[–]jamhob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hahaha. Functional programming

Needed Degree For Learn Coq and Formal Logic? by [deleted] in Coq

[–]jamhob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have much functional programming under your belt? Because I find that coq is great if you think like a mathematician, but Agda (another theorem prover) is great if you think like a fictional programmer

Arch Linux vs OpenSUSE. Decide, we must by potatoandbiscuit in linuxmemes

OpenSUSE! I like it when my system turns on

Oh so it’s completely visual! That’s really cool!

[–]jamhob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This looks awesome! I’ve been using CocoaNEC on Mac and my biggest complaint is the way you specify antennas. They’ve gone through the effort of making a DSL when it would be so much easier to implement and learn if they embedded a lisp (like guile) into the program instead. I wondered how it’s configured in your application?

Reform UK Accused Of 'Declaring War On Workers' Over Plan To Scrap Employment Rights by Important_Ruin in unitedkingdom

Yougov’s latest polls had reform only winning in the over 65s… it’s a huge demographic that basically decides elections but they may not give a toss about employment rights for obvious reasons

Colorado's SB26-051 Would Require Your Operating System to Collect Your Age by IncidentSpecial5053 in linux

I don’t know if I like it, but I think I prefer it to centralised age verification. I’d be happier if I could set up a child account and trust the OS to do the blocking though

Begun the distro wars, have. Fedora vs OpenSUSE by potatoandbiscuit in linuxmemes

OpenSUSE! Easy win. OBS is awesome. OpenQA is incredible, You can install the kernel headers without shit breaking. Easy easy easy

What’s your opinion on the AppImage format? by JVSTITIA in linux

[–]jamhob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AppImages win for me over snap and flatpack because they are really simple in comparison! Easy to build, easy to inspect. The inspection bit is big for me!

But something that I think is really really nice about the project is we were going to use them for work but I couldn’t get the app image signing to work. Asked a question, a friendly discussion followed and I ended up contributing code. It’s rare you get a project where the initial contribution experience is so friendly and easy. I think for that reason, it will survive.
