Programming Leftovers



Eucalyptus: Build AWS-compatible Clouds


↺ Eucalyptus: Build AWS-compatible Clouds


> Eucalyptus is an open-source software for building AWS-compatible private and hybrid clouds. It offers an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) product that allows users to provision compute and storage resources on-demand.



Phone Thermal Cameras Get Open Source Desktop Tools


↺ Phone Thermal Cameras Get Open Source Desktop Tools


> Whenever phone-based thermal cameras are brought up here on Hackaday, we inevitably receive some comments about how they’re a bad investment compared to a standalone unit. Sure they might be cheaper, but what happens in a couple years when the app stops working and the manufacturer no longer feels like keeping it updated?



An Open-Source Antikythera Mechanism


↺ An Open-Source Antikythera Mechanism


> When the Antikythera Mechanism was first discovered, it wasn’t viewed as the wonder that we know it today. Originally the divers who found the device and the first scientists to look at it wrote it off as an astrolabe or other some other common type of clock. It wasn’t until decades later when another set of scientists x-rayed the device and surveyed more of the shipwreck where it was found that it began to become one of the more important archaeological discoveries in history. There have been plenty of attempts to recreate this device, and this replica recreates the mechanisms of the original but is altered so it can be built in a modern workshop.



Red Hat’s code restrictions draw mostly sympathetic response from open-source providers [Ed: Open Source is not Free software, it is openwashing]


↺ Red Hat’s code restrictions draw mostly sympathetic response from open-source providers


> Over the 30 years of its existence, Red Hat Inc. has cultivated a nice-guy image for its practice of releasing all the fruits of its software development efforts as open-source code for anyone to use. But over the past three weeks that image has taken a hit.

[Haiku] [GSoC 2023] VPN Support Project Update #3


↺ [Haiku] [GSoC 2023] VPN Support Project Update #3


> Sorry for the late blog post everyone! Personal life and some roadblocks on the project got in the way but I am proud to say that the driver is up and working!


> I got the semaphore problem settled, but I then ran into a problem where the data that the application on the interface side sends a packet was then not receiving the packet. Through some debugging I found out that the interface, when it goes into device_consumer_thread for getting the receive function, it fails here. Looking deeper into when that interface->receive_funcs element gets assigned I found the function here which I realized is never called when I call ifconfig to set up the interface. I ran into the solution to the problem by just changing the type of datalink frame from loopback to an ethernet frame that the interface will be using from now on. That brought the packet to an interface and I started to get a new problem of course :)
