Hightec also have an ISO26262 qualified compiler focused on automotive: https://hightec-rt.com/rust

So there's lots of focus on having a good alternative to C/C++


There were a few vendor-specific VLBish busses:

Opti local bus was the most common, and had a few different boards: https://ancientelectronics.wordpress.com/tag/opti-local-bus/

Gigabyte had one that was only used for the "GA-486US" motherboard. The connector was just two 16bit ISA cards back to back: https://theretroweb.com/motherboard/image/ga-486us-front-60b...

I believe there were some others from different vendors.

The signaling for all of these was pretty similar to VLB, since it was just the 486 bus on a connector.


Check out the `--shutter` option for `libcamera-vid`, it allows you to tweak the camera's exposure time which might help with the screen refresh banding. `--shutter 60` sets the exposure time to 60ms, which might be a good starting point.

EDIT: Ah, actually the unit is microseconds, so `60000` would be 60ms


Hey thanks, this was a good catch. `--shutter 12000` fixes the screen, and is bright but not too bright.

For context, this is the page the cease and desist was referring to.


I wonder how legit this site is. It says:

> These SVG images were created by modifying the images of Pixabay.

And indeed, the images seem to be taken from pixabay (e.g. [0], [1]), however the pixabay license is NOT CC0, and specifically forbids redistribution [2]:

> Don't redistribute or sell Pixabay content on other stock or wallpaper platforms.

[0]: https://svgsilh.com/image/1801287.html

[1]: https://pixabay.com/vectors/grooming-cat-kitty-kitten-feline...

[2]: https://pixabay.com/service/license/


You're accusing without due research. The image on the pixabay site is from 2016, while the license it used until late 2018 was CC0: https://www.sugarfire.net/pixabay-license-change-no-longer-a...


Redistibution on stock platforms is not allowed for pixabay content. Terms don’t say anything about edited Pixabay content.


I'll go out on a limb and say "not legit at all", and would probably want to run it in a sandbox before downloading any links


Without presenting any evidence, your comment sounds like pure prejudice. The site has its few problems:

  - 2 advertisements and
  - link to facebook.
Besides that it is:

one of listed filters in creative commons search: https://search.creativecommons.org/search?q=trust&license=cc... ,

does not insist to became a member,

has no paid premium features,

very clean,

no sketchy ads,

no intrusive popups,

default presentation is not the most "clicked items",

and has no links to any suspect site.

I can't really see why it looks "'not legit at all', and would probably want to run it in a sandbox before downloading any links".


Or even find the /etc/shadow contents in the hexeditor and empty the root password field. Searching for "root:" usually gets you to the right place.

Most *nix systems are happy if you pad the left over bytes with newlines, so there's no need to mess with the filesystem metadata or anything like that. :D


I'd never heard of this documentary, so I took a look. I assume you meant "The Bit Player"? ( https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5015534/ ). It looks interesting, and it's on Amazon prime video so I'll give it a watch. Thanks!


Sorry, you are right.


Adding to this:

f-droid also encourages reproducible builds: https://f-droid.org/en/docs/Reproducible_Builds/

This means you can verify the APK on the f-droid store matches what's in github by building it yourself and comparing the signatures.

And if you want to do this, f-droid has an automated way: https://f-droid.org/en/docs/Verification_Server/ Of course, you still have to trust the verification server source code, but that runs locally on your hardware and is auditable.



Rust has a lot of good IDE options these days: https://areweideyet.com/ They decided to focus on the "Rust Language Server", which many IDEs use, rather than on one specific IDE.


That list counts vim and emacs as IDEs, and also includes in the list sublime text and vscode.

In the end the only minimum working product IDEs they list (no debugging, no IDE) are vscode, eclipse, visual studio, and intelij.

AFAIK Eclipse does not support rust. At best there's a plugin that adds some support, but last time I've checked it failed to work on my setup. That doesn't leave many viable options on the table.


> AFAIK Eclipse does not support rust. At best there's a plugin...

I'm not an Eclipse user, but in my understanding, it's grown quite a bit since then.
