If You Want To Sell AI To Enterprises, You Need To Sell Ethernet - The Next Platform
Server makers Dell, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, and Lenovo, who are the three largest original manufacturers of systems in the world, ranked in that order, are adding to the spectrum of interconnects they offer to their enterprise customers. And when we say that, we really do mean spectrum, and specially we mean the combination of Spectrum-4
TLDR: A demo speaks louder than a thousand words. You can connect to a URL sandbox created by me and my team via browserling.com/browse. We run browsers in virtual machines and stream them to you as a video. This way, you can open suspicious URLs in a sandboxed environment without risking the security of your own...
Deep dive into CheerpJ 3.0: A WebAssembly Java Virtual Machine for the browser
CheerpJ is a WebAssembly-based JVM that runs fully client side in the browser. It supports Java applications, legacy applets and libraries, with no need for compilation, server backends, plugins, or post-processing steps. CheerpJ 3.0 introduces a completely new JIT-based architecture which makes the tool faster, more usable and much more powerful.
Redefining datacenter connectivity with open source networking - The Next Platform
SPONSORED FEATURE: The face of modern networking is changing dramatically in parallel with the exponential increase in the volume of data traffic over the last several years. Enterprises and cloud service providers alike are struggling to handle that transmission workload, whilst simultaneously trying to contain costs. It’s a tall order to deliver enough capacity and
What is OpenID Connect OpenID Connect is an interoperable authentication protocol based on the OAuth 2.0 framework of specifications (IETF RFC 6749 and 6750). It simplifies the way to verify the identity of users based on the authentication performed by an Authorization Server and to obtain user profile information in an interoperable and REST-like manner.OpenID
WARNING for Raspberry Pi 5 NAS users: **If you use btrfs to set up a Raspberry Pi 5 as a NAS, your filesystem will not be mountable from almost all other machines unless you use `mkfs.btrfs -s 4096`**.
The Raspberry Pi 5 uses 16K pages by default, and as of today this is the default block size for mkfs.btrfs upstream on such systems. **btrfs does not support mounting 16K block size filesystems on x86 machines, or any machine with a 4K page size**.
We knew this was going to be a problem for Asahi Linux (which also uses 16K pages), so Fedora ARM64 has long carried a patch to change the default to 4K. Unfortunately, even though we submitted it upstream a long time ago, the btrfs-progs maintainers have chosen not to apply it at this time.
If you format a btrfs filesystem on a Raspberry Pi 5 normally, it will work, but you will be setting yourself up for a terrible disaster recovery scenario: If the Pi ever stops working, you will have to *find another one* (or an Apple Silicon laptop) to gain access to your data again - and no replacing/upgrading the Pi with any other machine (except a Mac) without a full disk reformat.
Active measurements over the public Internet can target either collaborating parties or non-collaborating ones. Sometimes these measurements, also called "probes", are viewed as unwelcome or aggressive.
This document suggests some simple techniques for a source to identify its probes. This allows any party or organization to understand what an unsolicited probe packet is, what its purpose is, and, most importantly, who to contact. The technique relies on offline analysis of the probe; therefore, it does not require any change in the data or control plane. It has been designed mainly for layer 3 measurements.
HPC Pioneers Pave The Way For A Flood Of Arm Supercomputers - The Next Platform
Over the past few years, the Arm architecture has made steady gains, particularly among the hyperscalers and cloud builders. But in the HPC community, Arm remains under-represented. But perhaps not for long. The “Fugaku” system at RIKEN Lab in Japan is without a doubt the largest and best known Arm supercomputer, and blazed the technological
What started as lighthearted iconoclasm, poking at the bear of SOLID, has developed into something more concrete and tangible. If I do not think the SOLID principles are useful these days, then what would I replace them with? Can any set of principles hold for all software? What do we even mean by principles?
Silk Meets Silicon: The Dawn of Biological Hybrid Transistors
Microprocessor-scale transistors detect and respond to biological states and the environment. Your phone may have more than 15 billion tiny transistors packed into its microprocessor chips. The transistors are made of silicon, metals like gold and copper, and insulators that together take an elec
At the End of the World, It’s Hyperobjects All the Way Down
Do you feel lost? Alone? Powerless in the face of forces beyond your control? Timothy Morton can help—if you’re ready to have your reality blown apart.
