An update on Mastodon and referer headers

from anderegg.ca [alt+shift+b] in technology

6 months ago
Earlier this year, I looked into why Mastodon didn’t include referer headers. As someone who enjoys following web analytics, it seemed a shame that Mastodon appeared never to send any traffic. I knew this wasn’t the case, but that lack of traffic data certainly wasn’t doing...

Making a photo enlarger more efficient with precisely controlled LEDs

from Arduino Blog [alt+shift+b] in technology

4 months ago
In photography, an enlarger is a piece of equipment that projects a smaller image onto a photosensitive material below using a strong light source and a negative to produce a much larger print. And while these have historically relied on single-color incandescent bulbs, such as...

Testing a cheap ExpressCard to NVMe SSD adapter on my ThinkPad T430

from ./techtipsy [alt+shift+b] in technology

over a year ago
I stumbled upon this post in /r/thinkpad, which got my attention. It showcases an ExpressCard to M.2 NGFF adapter that they purchased from AliExpress. The adapter has a similar purpose to the one designed by thinkmods.store, with the added bonus that it could fit longer NVMe...

Two Perspectives on the End-to-End Principle

from Posts on Made of Bugs [alt+shift+b] in technology

over a year ago
Back when I was an undergraduate, as part of a class called “Computer Systems Engineering”, we read numerous classic papers of systems design. I enjoyed and learned a great deal from many of these papers, but one that paper that has stuck with me in particular was Saltzer et al’s...

Notes on the Pentium's microcode circuitry

from Ken Shirriff's blog [alt+shift+b] in technology

3 months ago
Most people think of machine instructions as the fundamental steps that a computer performs. However, many processors have another layer of software underneath: microcode. With microcode, instead of building the processor's control circuitry from complex logic gates, the control...

As we’re building Jelly, we have found ourselves looking at lots of raw emails. In particular, we’ve spent a lot of time with email headers. If you’ve ever had cause to do the same, you know it can lead to lots of scanning and squinting. There’s got to be a better way! And here...

reptyr: Changing a process's controlling terminal

from Posts on Made of Bugs [alt+shift+b] in technology

reptyr (announced recently on this blog) takes a process that is currently running in one terminal, and transplants it to a new terminal. reptyr comes from a proud family of similar hacks, and works in the same basic way: We use ptrace(2) to attach to a target process and force...

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
