This discussion focuses on the comparison between OpenBSD PF and FreeBSD PF. There are claims that one or the other version of PF has fallen behind or not kept up with improvements, but these claims are garbage. The developers of FreeBSD PF work closely with OpenBSD devs and both projects want to work together. However, […]

I received an email today regarding the pre-order availability of the Raspberry Pi 5. Although the links take me to the details of the Raspberry Pi 4, the email is from an official element 14 site, suggesting that this may be an accidental early leak. I am unable to share this information with leak sites […]
The US has experienced two main periods of subway building. The first took place in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with cities like Boston, New York, and Philadelphia constructing subway systems. However, as car usage increased in the early 20th century, enthusiasm for subways declined. The second period of subway building began in […]
Engineers at MIT and in China have developed a passive solar desalination system that uses the sun’s heat to turn seawater into drinking water. The device, inspired by the ocean’s thermohaline circulation, allows water to evaporate while leaving salt behind. The resulting water vapor is then condensed and collected as drinkable water. The system has […]
Astronomers have made an intriguing discovery using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). They have identified a new galaxy, named JWST-ER1, that is massive and compact. This type of galaxy, known as a massive quiescent galaxy, could shed light on the process of galaxy evolution. One unique feature of JWST-ER1 is the presence of an […]
Open-source projects can’t simply imitate existing successful businesses and expect to succeed. Profit is crucial for open-source companies to hire employees and sustain themselves. While price may be a factor for early-stage companies, larger companies prioritize a good solution that is reliable and easy to manage. However, open source can win by solving transparency and […]
DarkBeam, a digital risk protection firm, inadvertently left an Elasticsearch and Kibana interface unprotected, resulting in the exposure of records from previous and unreported data breaches. This data leak has provided cybercriminals with access to user emails and passwords, presenting them with nearly limitless attack capabilities. The leaked data includes collections of login pairs, making […]
Carton is a machine learning framework that aims to decouple the inference code from specific frameworks like Torch or TF, allowing users to easily keep up with the cutting-edge. It boasts optimized async Rust code, resulting in an overhead of less than 100 microseconds per inference call for small inputs. The platform support includes x86_64 […]
