After enough years in software, you learn that LGTM doesn't actually stand for "Looks Good To Me".

Only the pros know its real meaning:

"Looked. Got tired. Merged."

Towards an open, federated review platform based on OSM

As I migrate away from big tech and towards independent solutions and in particular services powered by OpenStreetMaps and ActivityPub, I often find that the biggest missing piece remaining is that of a social element allowing for user reviews and feedback to locations on the map—in the intersection between the two services.

I have been playing with the idea of how this could be implemented, and decided would share my thoughts on a technically minimal and entirely federated standard for OSM reviews. The idea is to have a very basic ActivityPub integration that can work with even simple (microblog style) messages, allowing users to contribute reviews without having to sign up for additional services or necessarily install custom software.

Škoda have invented a bike bell designed to penetrate noise cancelling headphones, with the goal of reducing cyclist/pedestrian collisions, and then *released the design for free* so anyone can make it and more people can be kept safe!

Discriminate against efficient workers; complain unjustly about their work.

I'm incredibly pleased to announce that the microcode for the Intel 80386 has been decoded.

It was a group effort by a bunch of talented people to extract and correct the physical bits, but the major work of decoding them was done by reenigne - you may know him from such incredible PC demos as 8088 MPH and Area 5150, as well as being the person who decoded the 8088 microcode previously.

Please, check out his writeup.

@wolf480pl In fact I did this for like a month just for fun.

The only things that didn't like it were a few sites which claimed to do v6 (returned AAAA records) but didn't actually respond over v6. As well as game consoles, because those things are just assholes.

The Switch 2 actually will not function on a v6-only network, despite happily claiming it does IPv6. The Switch 1 didn't do v6, but it also didn't pretend to. You'd think the Switch 2 supports v6 so because it says it supports IPv6 and it will grab a v6 address if a typical dual-stack home network supports it when you look in the settings, but it's all symbolic, it will never actually use v6.

The system requires DHCPv4 or a static IPv4, then it does IPv6 after. The programming logic is:
if dhcpv4.result == "Success":
slaac

If you spoof it by setting a fake IPv4 that doesn't work, you're still fucked. it only accepts IPv4 addresses in the DNS server field.

So okay, I put a DNS server on that same fake subnet just to respond with AAAA records, still nothing, the Switch 2 will never output any v6 network packet. While the Switch 2 /can/ have a v6 address, the entire network stack is a lie:
- You can only add a v6 address if you already have a v4 address
- It will only accept v4 DNS servers
- It doesn't seem to ever actually do any AAAA DNS record lookups.
- If v4 isn't routing, but v6 works perfectly, everything breaks. No eshop, no online gaming, no update checks, no nothing.
- No matter what I tried, wireshark showed that the Switch 2 would never output a single packet with a v6 src or dst address after initial address setup, not even once.

It's actually impressive, I've never seen a product "implement" v6 to the point where it will grab an address and display it in the system settings right next to the v4 address, yet the entire v6 network stack is a lie.

'Yeah'

'No, what's that'

in 2034 some nerd is going to figure it out and make a youtube video titled "Sony already cured cancer 45 years ago, but for some reason nobody bought the cure!"

unfortunately sony already merged the departments responsible into each other 15 times and have no clue where the design documents ended up, while most former employees are now stuck in retirement homes with dementia. so it's up to a crack team of internet weirdos to hunt down any remaining sony employee who might know how the cancer cure was made.

eventually they find a single japanese guy who retired and decided to start a ramen shop in hokkaido, who casually goes "haha yes, i remember when we cured cancer, good times, the bubble economy sure was wild huh. but now my passion lies in making the perfect tonkatsu ramen"

The EU Court explicitly recognised this case will likely have "a significant impact on the supply of #FreeSoftware." 💡
