Fwiw, it is also possible to make a Pi boot from usb.

It's ready, nothing to enjoy.

ICMP packets can be arbitrary length, and there are plenty of tcp-over-icmp tunnels.

Not what I meant, I meant icmp as storage, not as communication.

There was this article a long time ago about using packets in transit as storage/memory, mischeivously for free.

Turns out this is how early memory worked, i think it was called delay line memory, made of mercury, i think PDP and DEC era

>They are not a file storage system. They were not designed to be a file storage system. Nobody at the IETF was thinking about them being used as a file storage system when they wrote RFC 1035. And yet here we are.

That's plain wrong. DNS was specifically designed to store arbitrary data, cf. the Hesiod name class.

I'm baffled each time people re-implement stuff from scratch instead of contributing to existing mature projects.

Why creating a new program instead of contributing to an existing mature one?

Also, I cannot open your website, does not seem to work without JavaScript.

Yea, this is a React application.

Alternatives are not that better :(

Also Google search degradation is partly due to the web becoming infested with AI slop and most content moving to chat apps, which are walled gardens by default.

Please don't use imgur, it blocks off half of the internet. Use catbox.moe or imageban

China Southern is okay if you speak Chinese.

Reproducing an ASML machine is a piece of cake. Okay, not a piece of cake but definitely doable. The problem is that you cannot sell your reproduction in rich countries because the US government will threaten you with sanctions and US companies will screech "patents!".

> Reproducing an ASML machine is a piece of cake

No its not, you have to be extremely precise when making the machine, and only ASML knows how to do that. China already have a big government funded project to reproduce ASML machines and they have failed so far.

Nonsense. Patents are a locked glass door; anyone can get in if they knock hard enough. And Chinese engineers wear heavy gloves and eye protection when going door-to-door.

I used to work for ASML as a design engineer, and I asked my manager why we didn't shred our paperwork, like some other companies I worked at.

"With all the trouble we've had, getting our designs to work? We should publish them to slow down our competitors!"

He wasn't wrong. “Nothing that's good works by itself, you've got to make the damn thing work.” — Thomas A. Edison.

... An argument that may not convince China and Russia, who have a track record of ignoring it - I doubt it is a significant reason why they have not achieved semiconductor manufacture tooling parity.

>I doubt it is a significant reason why they have not achieved semiconductor manufacture tooling parity.

It's not enough to reproduce just the work of asml, you basically have to reproduce their entire supply chain, because, same reason, their suppliers will have trouble obtaining export permissions.
