The majority of desktop Wi-Fi cards/chipsets have buggy drivers that break mDNS discovery in one way or another. To the point that I'd say that Wi-Fi drivers are the most offender in printer…

Yes, it has dramatic impact on the battery life. Wi-Fi in lower power state, when it has nothing to respond to, disables power amplifier and only listens to incoming data. Some functions which are usu…

It improved the battery life but made the connection activity detection worse (the disconnected phone won't be detected for up to 2 hours), but I didn't complain anymore. I initially set it …

>* be battery efficient, it's 2025 people! It took a long time for me to prove that what KDE does negatively impact the battery life. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44183…

Support usually means all the components, not only the OS image. This include firmware and drivers for Wi-Fi/Bluetooth module on the board, proper DTS and/or schematics to understand which p…

Newer Raspberries also rely on third-party components they have limited control of. VL805 USB chip in RPi 4 and 5 has known bugs since 2020 which are still not fixed.

Sleep states are not trivial from the security perspective, and they've eliminated the issue by just not allowing it :)

I used that! Nowadays we have cryptocurrency-based Sia, Storj, which are kind of similar.

Wow, that's really different compared to what we have in EU, with up to 10 SD channels in a single multiplex.

ZeroNet decentralized web platform: - Based on BitTorrent ideas - Completely decentralized websites' code and data - Either completely decentralized or controllable-decentralized authentication -…

But that's the whole multiplex, right? It could be a single channel, but usually you have many in the multiplex. I don't know how it works in the US, but for DVB-T(2) that's how it is.…

?! Discourse is a "mailing list with the interface". It allows both replies over email and starting a new topic over email.

There used to be many p2p vpn (full mesh) solutions, which disappeared into obscurity. Social VPN, Remobo, NeoRouter, GBridge, Wippien, PeerVPN. Remember any of these? Just checked — none of the domai…

IMO, the hardest is to initially find the faulty subsystem, and then to find a suitable instrument to trace/debug it. It's great if you have a working software which shows the possible culpr…

Sourceforge is still used as a storage for ISOs, firmware builds, and other large binary "artifacts", because it allows large files, unlike GitHub.

Gutenprint is also not packaged for 32-bit ARM (armel/armhf) in Debian 13 due to issues with 32-bit → 64-bit time_t transition on 32-bit platforms https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin&…

Yep, I still use it this way. I believe that GitHub free for public only repo model is the reason why we have a lot of pet projects published, most of which were not really intended to be published to…

Current FreeBSD 14 is the latest branch to support x86 32-bit. The upcoming 15 won't support it. https://www.freebsd.org/platforms/ …

For my projects, I prefer to collect the money for the whole year operation in advance. This allows me not to refer to subscription model, yet not to ask for donations every month.

Flipper Zero supports that

The same applies for translation systems. I translate a bunch of open-source software, if the translation is on weblate, transifex or crowdin. I never going to translate .po files directly. It's …

Please consider adding this and possibly other algorithms to CUPS printing system. Easiest is to add it into ghostscript. https://github.com/OpenPrinting/libcupsfilters/pull&…

Design is really nice, but how do I fast forward?

Do you have similar research on WebP? Or how does AVIF compare to WebP in terms of animation compressing? Does video compression (AV1, VP8) differ from image animation compressing? Less feature set I …
