The "B" word you shouldn't put on your plane I took this picture at an airport in Norway. The word "Bug" plastered on the plane didn't leave a feeling of confidence - by Jack Ganssle Source: http://www.ganssle.com/tem/tem403.htm

#Intel exconfidential Lake Platform ;) This is the first 20gb release in a series of large Intel leaks. Most of the things here have NOT been published ANYWHERE before and are classified as confidential, under NDA or Intel Restricted Secret. They were given to me by an Anonymous Source who breached them earlier this Year, more details about this will be published soon. Some of the contents of this first release: - Intel ME Bringup guides + (flash) tooling + samples for various platforms - Kabylake (Purley Platform) BIOS Reference Code and Sample Code + Initialization code (some of it as exported git repos with full history) - Intel CEFDK (Consumer Electronics Firmware Development Kit (Bootloader stuff)) SOURCES - Silicon / FSP source code packages for various platforms - Various Intel Development and Debugging Tools - Simics Simulation for Rocket Lake S and potentially other platforms - Various roadmaps and other documents - Binaries for Camera drivers Intel made for SpaceX - Schematics, Docs, Tools + Firmware for the unreleased Tiger Lake platform - (very horrible) Kabylake FDK training videos - Intel Trace Hub + decoder files for various Intel ME versions - Elkhart Lake Silicon Reference and Platform Sample Code - Some Verilog stuff for various Xeon Platforms, unsure what it is exactly. - Debug BIOS/TXE builds for various Platforms - Bootguard SDK (encrypted zip) - Intel Snowridge / Snowfish Process Simulator ADK - Various schematics - Intel Marketing Material Templates (InDesign) - Lots of other things Make sure to archive/mirror this, as I doubt the original Mega link will survive for long. (Torrent coming soon hopefully) https://mega.nz/folder/CV91XLBZ#CPSDW-8EWetV7hGhgGd8GQ torrent: magnet:?xt=urn:btih:38f947ceadf06e6d3ffc2b37b807d7ef80b57f21&dn=Intel%20exconfidential%20Lake%20drop%201

If you do not believe the rocket science is hard, watch this This is literally an 85 million USD firework (not counting a precious cargo - Cygnus spacecraft, - burned that exact moment). The video is from October 28, 2014, when the Antares rocket failed to deliver its payload to ISS.

The dissapearing black disk - interesting effect related to a light polarization

​​The Veluwemeer Aqueduct, a 25-meter long water bridge The ground is below sea level so the road is built underneath. Funny to know that the unique look of the bridge was emerged due to budget constraints, not an artist desire. Also, this video gives a great explanation why and how it was built.

4 Years with Literate Configuration https://www.alexeyshmalko.com/2020/literate-config/ I've been publishing my configuration files since 2013. More than four years ago I have switched to NixOS and moved my configuration to org-mode. I believe that's a great setup, and here I try to explain what I like about it.
