it uses Google's shitlist

And only exists because of Google.

it's to protect shareholder value.

it'll just cause a lot more people to become aware of it and cause mirrors to pop up everywhere.

RIAA already tried to take down the Github repo for youtube-dl (basically the original yt-dlp was forked from) back in October 2020. But outcry from among others EFF got it reinstated just one month later. Google is probably on the fence about this because they saw how it went last time. The slow killing of adblockers in Chrome seems to be something they are getting away with, so maybe that will make them bolder once things have moved along far enough that there's no way back.

And in that light, you're worried two blocks the size of a small car will get picked up on the alien's hyperspace scanners?

I'm not, but other people seem to think it's a problem worth worrying about.

Yet we spend tax dollars trying to do the same thing.

No, we don't. If you're talking about SETI, that's looking at radio signals. If you're talking about killer asteroid early-warning detection, we generally don't have the capacity to reliably detect voyager-sized asteroids even in our own solar system, let alone in interstellar space.

Is it easy to feed an elf or bin and run that (esp32c3)? I see compilation available, but I'm playing with asm and have my toolchain figured out already and would just like to emulate the firmware.

Another +1 for this one as this is what turns this tool from a toy environment with basic sketches into something that's actually useful for larger projects with a full toolchain, libraries, and so forth.

That’s exactly the direction I’m aiming for

A lot of simulators stop at simple sketches, but the goal with Velxio is to support more realistic workflows , multiple boards interacting, real toolchains, and more complex setups

Still early, but definitely moving in that direction


By this logic, people should still be hanging out in the streets in all those villages where the master race dominates. And yet, we still only observe the bums and the retired hanging out with a day to fill. Any idea how that impacts your hypothesis?

I look forward to your conversion 20 years from now.

It's pretty clear, the US only carries out war on weekends, while markets sleep.

ChatGPT is very good at pulling it together to give you working code. Not on the first try, but on the third try it usually works.

Pasting the generally horrible error messages is also quite effective!

Pasting? Give Claude/codex the ability to go fix it itself and have it deal with it directly.

no thank you, there are things I do not want Claude to have rwx on. like my entire f*cking system. I run llms in a docker container with just the folder I'm working in.

If you grant access to the Nix daemon socket but not writing outside the current directory, that's an effective sandbox. It allows evaluating derivations but not actually installing them.

haha technologie is moving so fast ;p

my entire system is configured using a flake i built with coding agent and skills to tell it how to configure things in nixos heh

ban the selling or providing of general purpose computing to children. we can already do it with alcohol and cigarettes.

any parents caught providing such things to their children go on a register and have mandatory courses on parenting.


Sounds like a great way to stunt development. Alcohol and cigarettes are unambiguously harmful to children. Computing is not so unambiguous, it has a lot of benefits. How many of us here would lead very different lives if we were treated that way?

did you miss the word "general"?

you can provide gimped versions. micro controllers, school laptops that don't go places they shouldn't go, gimmicky age checks on anything they can use outside of adult supervision.


Define 'gimped', microcontrollers are able to play NSFW games in Spanish/English for the Z-Machine interpreter. An ESP32 it's more than enough. A Game Boy it's more than enough, too. Ditto with 8/16 bit microcomputer out there. I can even run these games under FreeDOS. Good luck implementing accounts on that.

And the example it's I-0, (I-0.z5, Interstatal Zero) both in English and the faithfully Spanish translation done from the Spanish IF community. Both games are nearly 30 years old.


if a kid manages to play nsfw games on an esp32, he deserves to enjoy it.

A minor it's legally a kid even if some guy at 16 has nothing to do with an actual kid aged 10-11. The goverment shouldn't do what the ISPs should have been doing if 14yo get smartphones: locked down DNS' -no porn, no gambling, no violence, no AI-, and browser settings plus no permissions to install any software modulo a curated set for everyone at F-Droid.

With no smartphones until they hit 14-15 you don't need no stinky 1984 like laws; ISP would just comply with restricted DNS' per device and that's it. Ah, modern wireless networks such as the ones from town halls and the like? These should already have restricted DNS' for porn and the like.

Next, a PC it's a totally different device, you as a parent should be the accountable one and not the goverment. Your kids want to set a Minetest and some private server to play games and chat without groomers stalking them? teach them.

Enforcing computing stuff it's impossible, with libre software anything can be a general purpose computer. A PSP with a bluetooth keyboard, a PocketCHIP, any smartphone, even the mentioned Amiga FPGA computer, where can connect and use far more modern services than anything you would expect in 1994.


This could be an option with children under the age of 12. Maybe only let them use a computer or gaming console in the living room, or something like that.

that's exactly what I'm referring to, see my new post on this same sub thread.
