Ascending Mount FujiNet
leadedsolder.com — In case you haven’t heard of it, FujiNet is an ambitious open-source community project. Its intent is to be the only peripheral you will ever need to get for your old computer. That’s a lofty goal if ever I’ve heard one. I’ve been in and out of the project over the last few years, but I hadn’t actually gotten (or finished) any FujiNet hardware. Let’s revive my troubled CoCo1 with a cartridge that does it all. ASCENDING, 13

Rules to avoid common extended inline assembly mistakes
nullprogram.com — GCC and Clang inline assembly is an interface between high and low level programming languages. It is subtle and treacherous. Many are ensnared in its traps, usually unknowingly. As such, the asm keyword is essentially the unsafe keyword of C and C++. Nearly every inline assembly tutorial, including the awful ibilio page at the top of search engines for decades, propagate fundamental, serious mistakes, and most examples are incorrect. The dangerous part is that the examples usually produce the expected results! The situation is dire. This article isn’t a tutorial, but basic rules to avoid the most common mistakes, or to spot them in code review. RULES, 24
How to lose a fortune with one bad click

By Jonathan CorbetDecember 20, 2024 Back in 2022, Josh Triplett presented a plan to implement a "spawn new process" functionality in the io_uring subsystem. There was a fair amount of interest at the time, but developers got distracted, and the work did not progress. Now, Gabriel Krisman Bertazi has returned with a patch series updating and improving Triplett's work. While interest in this functionality remains, it may still take some time before it is ready for merging into... PROCESS, 27
