RSA4096 has a bit of an edge over ed25519 both in effective key size as well as support by things like YubiKeys and other HSMs that is beneficial for GPG but not really helpful for SSH.

SSH generally best to use ed25519, for GPG RSA4096 is better supported by HSMs and slightly more secure for longer-lived keys like root keys.

Yeah, I used Chrome up until extremely recently because genuinely no browser Just Works to the extent Chrome does.

Fast, good media codec support, Web API support for hardware access for PWAs, doesn’t lock up w/ a lot of tabs (post-quantum FF is better about this, but not quite there), excellent DevTools, and just generally snappier and more polished than even chromium.

I switched to firefox recently exclusively for better home-manager support, and other than the ability to use home-manager more easily, it’s just a slightly slower and jankier experience at all times whether it’s requiring transcode for Jellyfin, laggy WebGL performance, janky DevTools, or missing WebAPIs.

Why are you being so condescending about this?

FPGAs are a great tool, but they’re not magic.

They are a great way to prototype ASICs or for performing relatively simple low latency/high-throughput tasks below the economies of scale where actually taping out an ASIC would make sense but there is pretty much no case where an FPGA with a bunch of the same logic path is going to outperform a dedicated ASIC of the same logic.

NPUs are already the defacto ASIC accelerator for ML. Trying to replicate that functionality on an FPGA fabric of an older process node with longer path lengths constraining timing is going to be worse than a physically smaller dedicated ASIC.

It was the same deal with crypto-mining, the path for optimizing parallel compute is often doing it badly on a GPU first, moving to FPGA if memory isn’t a major constraint, then tape out ASICs once the bugs in the gateware are ironed out (and economies of scale allow)

And that doesn’t even begin to cover the pain of FPGA tooling in general and particularly vendor HLS stacks.

I need the max call volume to be about 20% higher than it currently is to understand what is being said outside of an anechoic chamber.

Plenty of people are now old enough that they can go see a doctor themselves and get the diagnosis that their parents never bothered to or were unable to bring them to get when they were kids.

I have had the Sandisk Ultra Luxe 512GB version for a few years now with Ventoy on it and have been very pleased with it. I keep a cheap USB-C to USB-A attached to it and that lets me use it with my phone or on any computer.

Matrix (federated) or Briar (multi-modal P2P) are both good options for getting rid of dependency on central organizations.

That’s news to me considering the EPA-rated fuel economy of vehicles with both hybrid and pure ICE drivetrains is universally higher for the hybrid versions.

An ICE vehicle needs a much larger engine than is truly necessary due to the inefficiencies and limitations of mechanical transmissions, whereas a hybrid can have a much smaller, more efficient engine.

A hybrid can potentially act like a ‘perfect’ transmission, capable of taking in power from an engine running at its single most efficient RPM and, with the aid of battery storage, produce any combination of speed and torque that has an average power less than the output of the ICE.
