what happened to pyx?
Comment · 21 days ago
I was just surveying the options earlier for DDR4 mobos with 8 dimm slots and pcie 4.0. Narrowed to the idea of a TRX40 and a Threadripper 3960X for ~$900CAD total (on ebay, every listing ships from China). Worth it or risky? Would be to drop in 8x16GB dimms from a couple old gaming boxes and use Strata with a 5070 Ti.

Looks like some of GPD Pocket systems can have sim cards. But don't know how good the linux compatibility is.

What about checking crypto libraries for gaps like the coldcard situation of RNG code is correct but not in the release build somehow?

Also have realized at some point that reviewing the PKGBUILD and code in github repo still doesn't check whether the github release files are compromised.

Thanks that's interesting. The docs are aimed at developers, but I'm curious about the use case for the end user.

So would a user have to do some kind of `gh attestation verify PATH/TO/YOUR/BUILD/ARTIFACT-BINARY ...`? (assuming the plugin dev provides an sbom?)

One thing that bugged me when I made a community plugin was that you have to attach non-git-controlled files to the release (e.g. main.js).

To check if any community plugin is safe, it seems like you'd have to not only review the code on github, but also analyze the github release files to be sure nothing malicious packed in there.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something about the process, I'd appreciate if anyone could confirm or explain otherwise.

When I was on ubuntu it was easy to uncomment a couple lines in /etc/inputrc for this

In a pinch one way to deal with memory leaks is to wrap the offending work in a multiprocessing pool, forcing it to live in an ephemeral process

I've been thinking about playing with something like this.

I'm curious to what limit you can randomly replace words and reverse it later.

Even with code. Like say take the structure of a big project, but randomly remap words in function names, and to some extent replace business logic with dummy code. Then use cloud LLMs for whatever purpose, and translate back.

I'm on webOS24 with 23.20.68, and CanI.RootMy.TV says it was patched in 23.20.68

it's pretty tempting when it's one of the few ways to watch 4k netflix and the likes

Ya I regret updating mine. The UI both significantly slowed down, and lost the chance to root :(

Can I use something like syncthing to easily backup the recordings and transcripts off my phone?

Google's Recorder app makes this a big PITA if I don't want to enable upload to cloud storage, there is a very tedious manual way to export recordings.

I really just want plain old data and to be able to copy or delete files via the filesystem. And not be required to use some cloud service.
