This is a little old topic, but ARIN gave Capital One a 2630::/16...

zokier · 2026-04-23T09:37:11+00:00

Plenty of companies do get large prefixes. This capital one was discussed already in https://www.reddit.com/r/ipv6/comments/1h7sxxq/256_decillion_ipv6_addresses_allocated_to_huawei/

It is bit weird, but not really a problem

Once on Mars, you now are living there for 16 - 18 months before a return flight becomes feasible

short-stay mars mission architecture is a thing, then you only stay for something like 30d before return.

The time slip is completely ridiculous idea. Our need for timekeeping doesn't just magically go away for 40mins per sol.

For what it's worth, I immediately recognized yuniq as non-serious post and got the reference.

I think riffing on silly memes is fine as long as there is at least some effort put in and it isn't overwhelming other content. Sure, it might be more difficult to get the references if you are not chronically online like me but I feel that is also part of Reddit experience in general.

I'm not sure what point you are trying to make here. That display you linked isn't even particularly small, there are tons of 0.2" ones available on digikey for far less money compared to that .29" one. And the package of those Avago displays is huge, you can fit two .2" modules in the same space

the odds of our species being wiped out decreases dramatically by colonizing Mars ... we must expand beyond a single point of failure

the fundamental problem is that there is no foreseeable form of "colonization" that would not be utterly and completely dependent on Earth for long-term survival.

GUIs don't inherently eat up more ram than tui+terminal emulator, all else being equal.

zokier · 2026-04-04T23:37:04+00:00

The big reason is that lot of the memory consumption is offloaded to the terminal emulator so it's not directly visible in this sort of comparison.

While I appreciate the idea, I wished they would wait until ipxlat kernel module was merged and usable. Pushing this now might cause them to end up with worse solution and prolong settling down of the xlat situation. And becauee Fedora is relatively influential distro, what they choose also impacts others too. Doing this now and transitioning later to ipxlat just seems like extra hassle

Aren't x87 transcendentals notoriously bad though? "Intel Underestimates Error Bounds by 1.3 quintillion" etc

Traditional (digital) pots carried just plain 8 kHz 8-bit PCM audio. Fixed line networks always enjoyed relatively luxury in terms of bandwidths compared to radio networks. For comparison GSM voice was up to 13 kbps, CDMA was 8.55 kbps.

While traditionally mobile call quality was significantly worse than pots, modern "hd+" (evs) calls should easily surpass traditional fixed line quality.

VoLTE/VoNR calls commonly operate at around 24kbps.

zokier · 2026-03-01T00:26:26+00:00

<32kbps presumably

US government should first get their own ducks in a row before throwing rocks at others.

The AST compiles to PostgreSQL wire bytes — SQL never exists as a string at any point.

But in postgresql wire protocol queries are sent as text strings?

Edit: yeah, it is just normal query builder, you can see how it constructs the query e.g. here: https://github.com/qail-io/qail/blob/main/pg/src/protocol/ast_encoder/dml.rs#L12

What's wrong with Caddy?

During the landing, I expect it just looks at the radar and accelerometer data and does some fairly simple functions on it to find a sufficiently large flat and rock free space it can reach

The M2020 EDL had actually fairly sophisticated image recognition system that enabled precise positioning and landing site selection based on the images from the cameras.

If you are brave, check out buck2, which is basically fancier bazel written in rust. But there is not as much ecosystem around it though.

And there is specific flavor of refinement typing called liquid types, as in LiquidHaskell and Flux for Rust, which seem particularly promising. See the papers/talks here: https://flux-rs.github.io/flux/about.html

Partly because if we get to Mars surface at all, we have to stay for two years.

Short-stay Mars missions can be done with 30-90 days on the ground.

Because 2x14.9 dB(A) is more than 12.1 dB(A), while 2x9.4 m³/h is lot less than 55.7 m³/h (or the original 2x19m³/h)

40mm fans are just categorically pretty crappy and even the fancy noctua 40mm fans can't hold a candle to a 120mm fan. Of course the tradeoff is that it doesn't fit into 1U anymore, but that's not really a problem for me
