@rowancheung Is this the starting point now where Terminator movies and Skynet become reality? Does somebody already take care about John Conner? 😉 In all seriousness: Think about 10 years further where China produces thousands of this things per month for its army... Have fun...

TIL: CyberChef - The Cyber Swiss Army Knife - a web app for encryption, encoding, compression and data analysis. You can run it locally in a Docker container and basically encode/decode everything (e.g. base64), convert date/time, and what not: https://t.co/3099oP38wv

Nice! 40 years ago German computer magazine "64'er" for the Commodore C64 was launched. Now the first issue is available online (incl. source code for download):

Need to do a real Zoom screen share test tomorrow. At least using Zoom + screen share via their web client and Firefox should work what I've read. That would be at least a fallback...

[Robert Wimmer @taucetixx]

I'm not sure if I should be exited or scared about the upcoming #kde Plasma 6 release 😉 Just tried KDE Neon in QEMU/KVM virtual machine with a Nvidia 4080 SUPER GPU passthrough. Looks good in general. But I suspect Zoom and Slack users won't be happy.

[Robert Wimmer @taucetixx]

E.g. moving windows around looks like as one would only have a screen refresh rate of about 30 Hz. I'm using the same KVM configuration/hardware for GPU passthrough to Windows 10. So I guess that setting should be fine.

If you don't order the all new GeForce RTX 4070 Super Twin X2 for that price I can't help 😉 Just sell your car or house and it's yours. 😄 https://t.co/wbWv62zJnX

The current Linux kernel version on my Archlinux installation is definitely the "best" ever: Linux 6.6.6 😄🤘

In case you're a C++ developer and feel boring there might be something from Google to try out 😉: Carbon Language (An experimental successor to C++) https://t.co/xWS0Fg1Woq

Together with a few team mates my son released his first Roblox game 🙂 He did a lot of the 3D graphics of the game in Blender which he taught himself 💪 Pretty cool for the first shoot: 👍

Just learned about "systemd-cgtop". Kinda cgroups-aware variant of top. Besides CPU and memory it also shows network input/output throughput.

[Robert Wimmer @taucetixx]

There was a Traefik update from 2.5.5 to 2.5.7 recently... I just don't know when I did the update... 😁 Looks like one or both of those two PRs were very much needed:

Oh man... https://t.co/7G1ItnSfMv was such a great resource for MySQL. And now it's a marketing driven crap site with totally useless content: https://t.co/vTYq7LPKUi "Well done!" who ever decided that...🤦

[Robert Wimmer @taucetixx]

@firefoxbeta I don't why but somehow Firefox 94 beta runs way smoother on Linux then the versions before. I have quite a few sites that are rendering quite a bit faster now. Good job! 🙂
