May 8	comment	Interaction beween DMA transmission complete and peripheral interrupts There is no ordering, because the way they were designed was that you'd either use the device interrupt or the DMA interrupt, never both -- so if you are using DMA, you use the DMA interrupt to get a guarantee that the DMA transfer is complete. The purpose of the character recognition interrupt is that you do not need to enable any (UART or DMA) receive interrupts before you receive the character recognition interrupt, so you save the overhead of the receive interrupts. If you have a DMA interrupt anyway, you're not saving this overhead, and you can do character recognition in software.
May 4	comment	Why is my code implemented in latches? The `always @(*)` says this is a combinatorial block, but it is supposed to modify a `reg`?
May 1	comment	VHDL IDE for a GNU/linux environment The Altera and Xilinx toolchains are originally Unix tools, and were later ported to Windows.

Apr 30	comment	Why is sampling frequency/rate typically abbreviated Fs and not Sf in English? $N_{Hamsters}!$ looks like a very large number to me.
Apr 28	comment	Debian Bookworm (SysV init): ISC dhcpd hangs during boot Also, if you're not running systemd, you also need to make sure to remove `libsystemd-nss` and `libsystemd-pam` because these also hang quite a while trying to connect to systemd.
Apr 28	comment	Debian Bookworm (SysV init): ISC dhcpd hangs during boot This should be fixed properly, not worked around though.
Apr 28	comment	Debian Bookworm (SysV init): ISC dhcpd hangs during boot Ah, so the bridge is on the host, but the problem is inside the VM.
Apr 28	comment	Debian Bookworm (SysV init): ISC dhcpd hangs during boot How does the bridge get its IP address? The DHCP server still needs an address.
Apr 23	comment	Ubuntu 22.04 desktop encryption on raid 6 array and boot drive Yes, then the only information you need is "every time you configure a layer, the new media will show up in the partitioner" -- so you set up the MD with the RAID 6 through the "set up MD" step, which gives you a large unpartitioned device, which you can then use as a LUKS volume, which gives you another large unpartitioned device which you can set up to contain your data (most sensible: use as an LVM PV).

Apr 20	comment	In what cases are counter-terrorist operations justified? @TadeuszKopec, which is why this answer is a bit of a frame challenge: public opinion is not a guiding principle. It may have consequences in interior politics in democratic states if you cannot use the state of war to sway public opinion or delay elections, and it affects whether other states enter a conflict (and thus indirectly affects outcome, which we do care about), but there is no referee that can penalize states or undo things if something that happened was "unjustified."
Apr 19	comment	In what cases are counter-terrorist operations justified? @TadeuszKopec, yes, because we're talking about sovereign states here. Only outcomes are relevant. If Kyiv is taken, there is no recourse because the aggression was "unjustified" -- that doesn't undo what happened. This also means that there is no reason for any ally to wait with aid for Ukraine until some red line has been crossed, because waiting will produce a worse outcome, at the same expense.
Apr 14	comment	iperf test in reverse direction gives different result FWIW 845 Mbps is already suspiciously low. I mean, I collect old PCs, and everything built in the last ten years can saturate an 1 Gbps link with no trouble.
Apr 11	comment	How to display leaf packages My usual approach in cleaning up a system is to go through the installed packages section-by-section in `aptitude`, and mark packages as automatically installed if I think I don't need it. The `libs` section is the largest of these, and it is usually safe to set the entire section to auto-installed (by pressing `M` while the cursor is on the section header).

Apr 8	comment	KiCAD: remove DNP components from paste layer @Maple some variant handling exists, but it's not propagated to the output plots
Apr 8	comment	KiCAD: remove DNP components from paste layer It means producing multiple stencils. That might be an interesting feature.
