Orange Pi 5 Is A Great & Very Fast Alternative To The Raspberry Pi 4 in c/technology@lemmy.ml
[–] basiliscos@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I bought one of the first orange PIs: they have terrible support for hardware, notable for the wifi: it is shipped as blob only in content of Armbian. No upstream drivers. You cannot have wifi and some other OS (even updated Armbian) nor openwrt etc.

The International Criminal Court issues an arrest warrant for Putin in c/worldnews@lemmy.ml
[–] basiliscos@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Obviously, that Russia is not in the jurisdiction of ICC, so why they issued the arrest? There are some interpretations, that EU is unable to do something to "fix" Russia behavior, so, this is mostly "gesture of despair".

Russian army officer admits: 'Our troops tortured Ukrainians' in c/worldnews@lemmy.ml

The BBC was unable to independently confirm Konstantin Yefremov's specific allegations of torture, but they are consistent with other claims of abuse of Ukrainian prisoners.

"Highly likely"

There are confirmed cases, when "underground members''' where just payed for their activities.

China reportedly bans export of Loongson chips to Russia in c/technology@lemmy.ml
[–] basiliscos@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The title is shitty, as the article says

"Beijing won't let military-grade Loongson kit cross the border to Russia, or any other nation."

You can change it to "China reportedly bans export of Loongson chips to Germany" or "China reportedly bans export of Loongson chips to Nepal', while its content and "applicability" remains the same.

Does anybody uses Haiku on lemmy? )

I like Haiku, but last time I tried to boot in from flash on my notebook it failed.

Russia Withdrawing Troops from Kherson (Ukraine) in c/worldnews@lemmy.ml
[–] basiliscos@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Some battles are not necessary won with weapons. Russia leaves Kherson, as it becomes too costly (in terms of resources, including humans) or too risky to hold it further.

The situation is actually similar to Zmeinyj island: when Russia captured it on early satges, but later Ukraine (mainly with long-range NATOs artillery) forced to leave it.

Russia Withdrawing Troops from Kherson (Ukraine) in c/worldnews@lemmy.ml

Please do explain what this changes militarily if Ukraine controls Kherson city.

Russia will have to recapture Kherson, as it is part of Russia (since Sept. 2022).

Unfortunately, AFAIK, this will have no impact, as the voting is just a recommendation

syncspirit v0.2.0 release! (github.com)
 

I'm glad to announce v0.2.0 release!

The major feature of the new release is the possibility to use relay transport from the public pool of synthing relays from https://relays.syncthing.net/ . Currently syncspirit picks a random on the start.

More complete changelog can be seen here, and the source code and binaries (for windows and linux) can be downloaded here.

syncspirit is syncthing-compatible syncrhonization program, which implements BEP-protocol. syncspirit is written from the scratch software, which has different technical decisions on it's foundation to overcome syncthing limitations. syncspirit is available for windows and linux; you can build and use it on termux for Andoid. Currently syncspirit is targeted to power users and early adopters, who feel self comfortable with command-line.

Any feedback is welcome!

WBR, basiliscos.

syncspirit v0.1.0 announce (new bep-impelementation) (github.com)
 

Hello,

I'm glad to do first announcement of my syncspirit, an alternative implementation of BEP protocol, gracefully shared by syncthing developers. In simple words, it is syncthing-compatible.

syncspirit is written from scratch in C++, so a lot of expected features found in syncthing missing. However, it is able to do one-side syncrhonization, i.e. it implements "receive-only" folder model at the moment.

Currenly only command-line intreface is available, so, it is targeted mostly to power users. The prebuild binaries for windows and linux are available for downloading, they are statically built, so no additional external dependencies should be required.

The interface can be evaluated and at asciinema

Why ss might be interesting for you? Well, it already has some unique features, like rsync-like mode (i.e. download files from peer and exit; it is implemented as "exit-on-inactivity-timeout"), and, it might have quite a good disk performance on HDDs since it tries hard to write sequentially. Also, the whole performance is tuneable (i.e. number of threads is manageable and configurable).

Any feedback is welcome. My short-term plan will be implement relay-transport.

Cheers, basiliscos
