new RAM arrived! I hope it works this time

final exam of this year today

morning

good night

Doing a little email experiment, hopefully a fun one! If you send an email to previous@email.engineering, two things should happen:

1. You’ll receive a reply with the email that the previous person sent (the last email before yours).

2. The next person to send an email will receive the message that you sent.

Your identity isn’t shared (only the subject and body). Hopefully nobody will be a jerk and ruin this (the reply footer has instructions for reporting abuse).

Anyway, have fun!

The POWER9 processor core supports a 64-bit effective address (EA), 68-bit virtual address (VA), and a 56-bit host real (physical) address (RA)

68-bit addresses!?

In HPT mode, the effective address space is 64 bits (0:63), the virtual address space is implemented as 68 bits (10:77) of the 78-bit architected maximum virtual address space, and the real address space is 51 bits (13:63).

I don’t really understand what this means.

One 18 inch pizza has 'more pizza' than 2 x 12 inch pizzas!

wl-clipboard 2.3.0 merged my buffer overflow bugfix and the --sensitive patch, no need to patch it any more!

ice-9/eval.scm:142:16: In procedure compile-top-call:
error: getenv: unbound variable
hint: Did you forget `(use-modules (guile))' or `#:use-module (guile)'?

this happened last time too

good morning

Is the browser console (ctrl-shift-j) broken in LibreWolf? I can’t type anything in there

nini fedi! it's past sunrise again

This is the first time I'm posting anything here but I figured this may be the right audience.

I've never run into something like this and I don't quite know what to make of it. I'm the author and maintainer of libgpiod. The official git repository is the one at kernel.org[1]. There's also a github mirror[2] as well as a documentation page[3] at readthedocs that I maintain.

I noticed (purely by chance) that there's a new website at libgpiod.com that's been created recently. I have nothing to do with it. It's clearly AI-generated but it redirects to my github. It's a 2 month old domain, anonymized registrar, protected by Cloudflare and NeoProtect and a Swedish host behind that.

Clearly someone went to a great length to stay anonymous. I'm afraid of falling victim to some new elaborate supply chain attack. What should I do about it (if anything)? Has anyone else experienced something similar?
