This chip is special,
(tinytapeout.com/chips/ttsky25b/)

- it has designs made by hobbyists
- and, more importantly, it has two designs in it !!
- these two FemtoRV designs were authored by others

What is FemtoRV ? It is a super simple RiscV processor that we designed with @Mecrisp because we were boring during COVID...),
More information here:
github.com/BrunoLevy/learn-fpg

I am super excited, can't wait to see whether these 200 lines of VERILOG can be turned into a real Risc-V CPU on a chip !

After reading endless excitement of @stefanoStefano Marinelli for BSD, last week I decided to give a try in a VM. As I'm completely new for BSD world, I chose GhostBSD. After a couple of days, I became addicted of it :) It is so solid and simple that I literally felt what peace of mind is. Also it was a big surprise for me to see how offical repository in such a good shape. I quikly found my backup tool Kopia, my Signal Client, and Librewolf there. I'm seriously thinking to change my workflow from Linux to BSD.

Rhizome's Conifer shutdown may be the most responsible way of shutting down a platform that I've ever seen. Also very happy to see that users are being given a good path to move to Webrecorder's services! If you're thinking about moving your archives there, Browsertrix is a great home them.

AMD EPYC 9755 vs. Intel Xeon 6980P.

Both 128C/256T CPUs.

AMD got 554 score while Intel 340.

Its 60% more for AMD.

Average POWER:
- 664W on AMD
- 613W on Intel

That is 8% more on AMD.

The speed/power ratio is 0.83 for AMD and 0.55 for Intel.

Its night and day comparison.

The European Commission lost the Chat Control 2.0 battle over access to end-to-end encrypted data. By the summer 2026, they will be back with their next attempt: Going Dark. This time some EU member states want to include VPN services.

The Going Dark initiative, or ProtectEU as the Commission now calls it, wants to “enable law enforcement authorities to access encrypted data in a lawful manner”. This is a Chat Control 3.0 attempt.

Excellent read!

In a world without the FOSS movement, the people who work for empire would still have the the software they want, it would not be as good, and it would cost more, but they would still have it. They have the money and resources to build it anyway, and would.

Those *without* those resources **also** have the means of production now. FOSS has lifted up people with software capabilities who would otherwise have much, much less. It has not *prevented* the work of empires, but has enabled the work of *everyone else*.

Ami·es des hauteurs neuchâteloises et/ou de la fantasy, la dernière séance de dédicace collective pour "Le bastion des dégradés" cette année aura lieu lundi 22 déc de 16h-18h à la librairie Payot à La Chaux-de-Fonds.

Glisser sous le sapin un roman de fantasy triplement dédicacé, avec une chatoyante illustration de John Howe, c'est pas la classe ? (même si on met son propre nom sur l'étiquette)
