How paranoid should I be about routers from companies like Cudy that I’m not familiar with? My intuition is “very paranoid, even if I replace the firmware with OpenWRT”.

Am I being too paranoid?

From member banks:

> No losses associated with the resolution of Silicon Valley Bank will be borne by the taxpayer.

> Any losses to the Deposit Insurance Fund to support uninsured depositors will be recovered by a special assessment on banks, as required by law.

Edit: apologies, I should have included this link and blurb in my original comment.

Member banks made depositors whole, not tax payers…

wxWidgets uses native controls, so just compiling to "WebAssembly" (I'm assuming it's compiled to WebAssembly, plus some JavaScript for DOM manipulation) was probably a significant amount of work. I'm actually curious how it was done!

Edit: the previous submission had a helpful thread on this very topic: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32689423

> I have a machine with 2GB of ram and a single core CPU. It's a low power rig. But cannot run Windows 10, it just about did when I first installed it. Debian runs better, but a browser kills it. It's a one app only.

I put Alpine Linux on my laptop that has 1 GB of RAM and I can actually have a lot of stuff running at once, especially in the terminal (Emacs, SBCL, w3m, Deno).

But yes, opening Firefox consumes all available RAM until I have to power off the machine, sadly. The lightest weight, but functional browser, I've found is Midori, but I probably wouldn't trust it for, say, accessing my bank account.

It's depressing because I was initially blown away at how fast (and productive) old hardware can be... until I tried to use the web.

Is this on real hardware? And does “boot” mean to a login prompt?

I ask because I’ve never had a computer (no matter how fast) boot in less than 10 seconds on Windows or Linux. Just getting to the boot loader takes a good 3 seconds or more. If I have to FreeBSD to get a fast boot, I’ll do it! (On an old laptop, at least).

I was just looking for something like this. Have you shared either of these publicly?

md2blog: creates a tiny (a few kilobytes per page, with no JavaScript) blog from Markdown files, with two features that I couldn’t find elsewhere:

* Links between Markdown files “just work” (both when viewing the Markdown source on GitHub and in the final HTML version of the site), including anchors

* Posts are automatically tagged based on directory structure (e.g. all files in “posts/linux” are tagged with “linux”)

Bonus: my entire site hot-rebuilds on my 12 year-old netbook in under a second (with a few tweaks that I should probably publish a new build for).

The article has a quote speculating on the market’s (lack of) reaction (a quote I find rather horrifying):

> DeFi has survived so many individual hacks and exploits that people are less scared of their assets going to zero as a result.
