Cool, so I'm not the only one here 😁. Mine was also RHL 5.x, can't remember the exact minor version, whatever they sold on CDs in 1999. I then switched to FreeBSD for a year or so.

What a funny intro! 😄
Deno is a modern JavaScript/TypeScript runtime built by the creator of Node.js, designed as a more secure and developer-friendly alternative. Unlike Node, Deno runs with strict permissions (no file, network, or environment access by default) and includes TypeScript support out of the box. It also natively supports modern web APIs and provides built-in utilities like testing and formatting, reducing the need for external dependencies. Plus, it’s modular, offering direct URL-based imports instead of relying on
node_modules

Flipper Zero + a lighter = true random number generator!

While playing with my Flipper Zero, I realised that the IR radiation that it reads does not have to be emitted by another electronic device! It can be a random analog IR 'signal' from a flame! Since Flipper can record raw IR data without interpreting it, there you go, a True Random Number Generator (TRNG)! I wrote a script that automates data collection and processing, here's a github link. It outputs your freshly generated true random number sequence into a file.

Do you know a credible source to read about it, please?

I'm a super happy new Lemmy user. Last week, I created an account on Reddit for the first time ever. I replied to 3 posts in a polite manner and right on topic (in a Linux-related community, someone asked for a book recommendation. The other two were answers to technical questions on Rust and Linux). A couple of hours later, I was reading about what shadowban
meant. I waited a few days, sent some messages to admins / support but to no avail. Then I searched for alternatives to Reddit and landed here. It's been 4 days, and I absolutely love it here. Lemmy seems to have that spirit of the Internet of the 90s, which I thought was long gone. Also, my assumption is that Lemmy users are of a higher quality than those on Reddit. It's very easy to end up on Reddit / IG / Facebook / etc. On the other hand, to become a Lemmy user, one actually needs to apply some effort and do at least some research. Or to have a cool friend who can recommend becoming a user here (if you have a cool friend, that makes you kind of cool too, right?). I should probably start telling my friends about Lemmy 🤔

Haha, yeah, she changed a bit since the 'drop dead gorgeous' years...

Thanks for sharing. Now I know that KDL exists and what it is.

This is my favourite Linux command measurement device


Robert Elder, the "my favourite Linux command" man, shows some cool micro-measurement equiplment , seemingly from the mid 1980s.

Wow! Dat is zo gaaf. 3,5 duizend jaar... Maar al 1 jaar geleden...

Does anyone remember cyberpunkreview.com
? If so, does anyone know who Mr. Roboto actually was? :P


Yeah, I also find it super helpful with unit tests, saves a lot of time.
