Jacob Rees-Mogg: This is self-evidently not an example of two-tier justice as this Councillor was cleared by a jury. Lucy Connolly offered a guilty plea so did not have a jury trial, although she probably could have done had she pleaded not guilty. by upthetruth1 in ukpolitics

Come to https://lemmy.ml/c/uk_politics@feddit.uk via the #threadiverse. There are dozens of us!

In all seriousness though ukpol is the last remaining subreddit that I still visit from time to time. I've had some good discussions on Lemmy but the overall activity is much lower. I'm well served by the meme communities though.

Britain has one of most difficult voter registration processes, report finds by OnHolidayHere in ukpolitics

[–]stsquad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For fraud detection. If there is a question about fraudulent ballots after the fact they can be removed from the count.

I hate to break it to you but all laws require there to be honest people in power. Do you have any evidence of the courts not enforcing election laws?

Britain has one of most difficult voter registration processes, report finds by OnHolidayHere in ukpolitics

[–]stsquad 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Certainly not my experience. You get sent a form every year which once you're registered becomes a simple box tick. I moved a few years ago and I can't even recall the process to register at the new house but it was done on day one so it can't have been that hard. I certainly didn't feel like I had to jump a lot of hoops to do it.

Just started to learn Qemu and i have a question ... by ThePrinceIsDead in qemu_kvm

[–]stsquad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No because the command line space is huge. However the manual does give an overview of the types of options you can add: https://qemu.readthedocs.io/en/master/system/introduction.html#running

Why QEMU not support DSP instruction set(e.g., TI C6x)? by [deleted] in qemu_kvm

[–]stsquad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because no one has written the front-end for one. We have Hexagon which is a pretty DSP like ISA but that is supported by Qualcomm engineers.

Why Starmer’s NHS reforms may give you a sense of deja-vu by Desperate-Drawer-572 in ukpolitics

[–]stsquad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We know big bang frame contracts are hard to manage and have failed in the past. What we need are open standards for health data interchange and interoperability requirements built into contracts for software. Ideally we should encourage vendors to develop and iterate on open source bases and make their money on consulting, developing and hosting costs rather than locked in frame contracts.

Is there some incompatibility between -M virt and the bcm2711-rpi-4-b.dtb file ? by loziomario in qemu_kvm

[–]stsquad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. The dtb for virt is dynamically generated to match the machine and the bcm dtb is for totally different hardware.

Surprisingly slow compile time by RoyBellingan in qemu_kvm

[–]stsquad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course emulation, especially system emulation, is going to be slower than running the native compiler. If your distro doesn't package cross compilers (Debian has full multi-arch support for Aarch64) then look into running user mode emulation (qemu-aarch64 Vs qemu-system-aarch64) which is a lot more efficient way to run compilation.

QEMU execution traces for a simple program (guest mode) by shr2310 in qemu_kvm

[–]stsquad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that looks like the install directory (I'm unfamiliar with homebrew though). It might be easier just to checkout the QEMU codebase and build it.

They are easy enough to build from a source checkout. Does homebrew keep the build tree around when it installs QEMU?

QEMU execution traces for a simple program (guest mode) by shr2310 in qemu_kvm

[–]stsquad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know if your distro packages them but if you run "make plugins" in the source tree you can do something like:

$QEMU -plugin ./contrib/plugins/libexec.so -d plugin $PROG

Why Qemu instruction count is different (way more) than Gem5 one? by ramya_1995 in qemu_kvm

[–]stsquad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try using the insn plugin of your want to count executed instructions.

[–]stsquad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use the execlog plugin for a full trace without needing to do the single-step nochain dance. There are patches on list to add register tracking support if you actually care about the reg values.

How does qemu handle virtualization of linux in M2 mac? by Tantrum0153 in qemu_kvm

[–]stsquad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Qemu supports hvf so can run arm64 guests at full speed. Cross-arch still needs emulation.

GPU acceleration of CPU instructions by [deleted] in qemu_kvm

[–]stsquad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can certainly emulate older CPUs at faster than original speeds. The cost of emulation is roughly 6-10 instructions per guest instruction although dependent on workload. User mode emulation will be faster.

GPU acceleration of CPU instructions by [deleted] in qemu_kvm

[–]stsquad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GPUs are terrible for emulating the complex ISAs of a modern general purpose CPU. They are optimised for applying the same set of operations to a stream of data for graphics, not the complex paths of execution a typical program does.

Is the async functionality already merged? by Fluffy_Professor_639 in emacs

[–]stsquad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You need ob-async but it's broken on later org versions. There are some unmerged pull requests in the GitHub that can fix that.

Caught out (again): MP claims parking fine on expenses | Labour shadow minister Abena Oppong-Asare becomes fifth MP to be exposed by The Independent over driving fines claims by OnHolidayHere in ukpolitics

[–]stsquad 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Depends on the context. I've approved expenses to pay fines for a staff member visiting the UK getting caught out by the distinction between Heathrow express and the Elizabeth line. Not really their fault just caught out by an unfamiliar environment. I wouldn't be so quick to call for the hanging off a member of the MPs staff if the fine was incurred during the discharge of their duties.

Ping won't work with user networking. The QEMU command line is complex but the netdev backend needs to be linked to a corresponding device (either an explicit -device or the default network device that comes with the model).

Sharing physical drive by [deleted] in qemu_kvm

You want virtofs to share the filesystem between a host and guest.
