For those wondering how bad the issue is, check out this[1] screenshot of a diff between the TLS/non-TLS html from www.example.com.
Here's "corrupted" UTF-8 characters expressed as bits. In this example you can see clearly what's happening. The top byte is correct and the second one is corrupted.

I think the path to get us there (reshoring chips) would be extremely painful, but it certainly would be a better position for the United States to restore our ability to produce these critical components.
Also, just in time for this research to get off the ground:
>If it all works out, the effect could be to make small groups of engineers capable of feats that would take 100 engineers to achieve today.
27% of IC packaging (turning the raw die into something that can be soldered to a PCB) happens in China with most of the remainder in other south-east Asian countries.
Check out my install script linked earlier. If you already have the GPS unit attached and tested, you could probably be up and running again in a few minutes (make sure to change the GPIO pin in the script to your PPS pin).
I just built one of these. It's fun to have a little computer that can synchronize highly accurate time without an internet connection by listening to things in outer space!
I built an auto-install script that anyone here is welcome to use or reference[1]. If you know what you're doing, just change the GPIO pin to your PPS input and fire away.
Unlike the author I used Chrony instead of NTP. It's lighter-weight and much easier to configure with a PPS/GPS reference clock.
The GPS chip I used was an ATGM336H, which can be had for less than $8 on ebay. I'm able to lock consistently 11 satellites from my desk[2]
Keep in mind the Pi has no hw RTC. If you're doing this for fun spend a few more bucks and buy an rtc chip from ebay so you don't drift considerably between being powered off.
I never published it, but I actually wrote a service that uses google sheets to manage SSH access on your servers. Users simply submit a google form with their SSH key, and it's automatically pulled by a daemon on each host. It comes complete with admin/sudo access toggling.
Has anyone considered skipping the opening credits of a tv shows? With all the user data you have, it would seem easy enough to detect a pattern. Button click goes to most common skipped-forward point.
I'd like 30-second skip forward & back. Too often I want to catch something again or skip a part I know is boring, and if it's a really long movie I have to guess where to click in the timeline.
> he simply introduced new words into the still-inchoate English language when none seemed to do the trick; Browne is responsible for “hallucination” and “suicide,” along with about a hundred other neologisms.
I'm having a hard time believing there wasn't a translation of the word "suicide" until 1600s. Wasn't suicide all over classical mythology? Wasn't it well known that Cato committed suicide rather than submit to Caesar? How did they describe such things?
Isn't suicide actually a neologism, i.e. it might be a Latin construct, but never actually used by Latin speakers.
In German, "Suizid" is actually the preferred form, as the old "Selbstmord" (self-murder) is a bit moralizing, and "Freitod" ("freely chosen death") is way too romantic sounding.
