Not only semiconductors, hardware in general, but there is a big focus on semiconductors:

I donate on a monthly basis to some open source projects I find really useful.

I would argue it’s a cultural thing. The internet has conditioned every to think in terms of nominally free, so it’s difficult to get people to pitch in. There are also on-boarding issue, there is no standardized protocol for managing subscriptions/donations. The size of fees (in % terms) for small scale donations (e.g. $1 a month) are relatively high.

We are likely going to have a major change in socio-political thinking (e.g. compare and contrast the world before WW1 and after WW2) before we get anywhere with this.

Fair point. :)

The only reason I mentioned this is I have multiple family members who have by this point learned how to stream via bittorrent and how to use rutracker.

Why not just use something like rutracker.org ?

All the netflix releases are on there and vast majority of them can be streamed via bit torrent. Just select language defaults in your media player and you’re good to go.

Great unique art (as usual), a bit depressing message though. :(

I love this!

I wonder if anyone under the age of ~30 would get the meme.

Looks like the bugs used by Fire Ant were patched in late 2023.

If you’re running system with critical unlatched bugs, you shouldn’t be surprised when you get attacked.

Ah, Ok!

Thanks for the clarification!

And what if you don’t want to use crypto?

Pretty nasty piece of malware, although it seems these days malware is at comparable level of sophistication.

The Consentik plugin adds cookie consent banners to customer websites. However, the unsecured server was broadcasting real-time site analytics and private authentication tokens, including Shopify admin credentials and Facebook ad tokens, to anyone on the internet who knew where to look.

This is brutal.

I have a Raspberry Pi 4B. Clients can directly play the media without any need for realtime transcoding. I could 4K transcoding being challenging for older Raspberry Pi SBCs.

I’ve been using DietPi on my SBC home servers (NAS, media service, pi-hope, etc.) since 2017 or so.

It’s an excellent distro for headless operation and makes CLI easy to use for somewhat casual users.

Smartphone hardware is generally noticeably weaker than laptop (let alone desktop) hardware.

There is not much you can do about this.

While I think this is cool, I didn’t really see any explanation of what their products will be. Retro computers for gaming? A new Amiga computer? A Linux derived platform running on their own hardware?

I’ve been using it since 2017, it’s an excellent headless SBC operating system.

Their command line utilities are top notch and they have excellent support and development cadence.
