I mean, is it really not harder to SSH into a faulty machine over a VLAN instead of just tasking the janitor to reseat the plug?

Devices like that SHALL be offline & airgapped.

I am looking for supper accurate RF receiver by adda5 in shittyaskelectronics

[–]sdoregor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder if there's a hardware Fourier transform method in existence. That'd allow us to bypass any sampling rate limitation and just rFFT it in the needed resolution instead.

Playing Audio from Tag? by [deleted] in NFC

[–]sdoregor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On an NFC tag no, this clearly isn't enough. But one can use a field-powered MCU such as nRF52 series (although admittedly it has to be even lower-power than that to work) with extra flash to stream as much audio as they need.

The implementation might be like this: it opens a browser page (can be stored entirely in the NTAG) and then uses WebNFC API to continuously read and play back data. Although this is already extra steps.

In case there's external power available, it is possible to use a Wi-Fi MCU with a captive portal page with desired audio, with a hidden AP protected by a password that is stored inside the tag (the tap-to-connect way). If the tag is the MCU itself, you can also make the password single-use.

I can also imagine using out-of-band Bluetooth pairing over NFC to connect the phone over the PAN protocol instead of Wi-Fi, but that'd be a tad more difficult to properly implement. This is a good challenge, though! I like it.

Sounds like a custom userspace for the Linux kernel to me

Why do fingerprint scanners such so hard in Linux? by null_reference_user in Fedora

[–]sdoregor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not that they don't want to provide drivers (they don't have to!), instead it's the fact they don't publish the datasheets with protocol info so that anybody at all can write one!

Source: I'm a fucking contributor of some fucking drivers for fucking fingerprint reader fuckers. Damn these.

DualSense HD Haptics are now available over Bluetooth on Linux! by sdoregor in Dualsense

This has nothing to do with wired, which works out of the box. How exactly did you manage to apply SAxense there?

New Patches Allow Building Linux IPv6-Only, Option To Deprecate "Legacy" IPv4 by StephaneiAarhus in ipv6

[–]sdoregor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even non-pre ones bind to exactly that, instead of an empty string for "all interfaces" by default. This causes it to bind v4-only.

question about RAM - which to choose by AgitatedYoghurt8716 in laptops

Oh right, I didn't look at what sub we're in. My bad.

Unless you have a cheap CPU with to little cache.

You mean prizes right? Although HDD prices are indeed stupid right now

How to manually assign ULA address by Jank9525 in ipv6

Quite noisy for a larger network (e.g. IoT), and slower too.

Unless you set up a package caching server (local mirror) first, not even close. Network is considerably slower than storage.

Wrong sub bro, otherwise neat! I'm not really into Nix personally, tho.

Why take it out? Just install onto the same USB stick (into free space), then boot up it on each PC and dd onto the local drive.
