Ayyyy, I had mine at the beginning of summer~ Have you considered writing terrible fanfiction about it?

It sounds like a fun mental exercise though!

Don’t know about this one specifically, but from hearing about spacecraft updates in general… there is generally a ‘safe mode’ that gets rebooted into when unknown faults happen (such as a watchdog timing out), and which does almost nothing besides talk to home (by the most reliable and slowest method possible), do hardware diagnostics, and keep the thing from freezing. And, naturally, accept firmware updates.

Honestly, assembly is fun…

That said, don’t avoid trendy things only because they are trendy. I sympathize though.

Road trip to visit my mom and touch grass a bit. Visiting a bunch of other friends and family along the way.

I sympathize, but why would your attempt succeed when the thousand other such attempts litter the halls of history? Or, what advantage does this have over building a new userland atop OpenBSD?

Making up with my partner. I think we’ll be okay. :-)

So we need a tiny extra UDP address index service (udp-addr-index) to provide this mapping.

This feels close enough to STUN or TURN that I wonder if they could be repurposed. Probably not, but…

Conversely, I wonder what a malicious actor could do with spoofed UDP source addresses…

Fantastic example of why integer promotion is a kinda horrible idea, as is treating bool types as integers in general.

I can keep the malware off my machine just fine, thankyouverymuch.

We all like to think that, don’t we?

Then you just have malware scraping your home dir for bitcoin wallets and ssh keys anyway.

We’ve agreed to move, committed to it, and know where-ish we want to go… and every time we need to make an actual decision about it it’s like we’re starting from scratch again.

Thought this was about Dark Basic at first! Interesting project. I got instantly distracted going through all your posts on Rust/F#/OCaml, since all are dear to my heart.

Hm, good writeup. I feel like “diff of a filesystem” is a wheel that’s been reinvented enough times we should have an off the shelf solution for it by now…

True, but we’ve also been at that point for at least 20 years. …Hmmm, there’s a business idea, I know that Russia and China space agencies some communication ships out in the Pacific and just suck up the blind spots when they can’t get global coverage. Maybe there’s opportunities for a company that sells time on big honkin’ radio dishes across the world?
