X11 is ancient history and not a fit for tiling GPUs found in mobiles socs

I don't think we'd rather be speaking French right now.

Yes, we would actually

I wouldn't be surprised if financial institutions use GPS for time keeping.

It's more accurate than getting it from a NTP pool.


> (As an aside: go right now and do a "sudo lspci -vv" on your computer, if you see a Resizable BAR capability which isn't using the maximum size, you can probably gain a bit more speed for free by going into the BIOS and enabling "Resizable BAR" and/or "Above 4G decoding". If you can't find these options, well, AFAIU that's what this project is all about..)

IIRC Linux doesn't need resizable bar enabled in the BIOS since the kernel will resize the bar if supported by the GPU, Windows however relies on the UEFI doing it which is where it being enabled in the BIOS is needed.


It'll be cool to see how this compares with similar projects, there's a few of these jumping on the scene now.

We compared it to scriptc here: https://geastack.com/blog-geatsc-vs-scriptc

Another one is https://github.com/PerryTS/perry and Huawei ArkTS.

We ran an experiment with Perry, you can read it here: https://geastack.com/blog-hono-with-perry

TLDR; it's 11x slower than Node.js and 23x slower than Gea Stack with Hono. With raw HTTP server, Perry is ~27% faster than Node.js and Gea is 3.5x faster than Perry.


Your traffic is still unencrypted by the VPN provider at the other end of the Wireguard connection, I am not sure how this changes that?

They should make a form where you input the serial number and apply for a key, applying that key in config.txt disables the hardware verification checks on the bootrom.

> Snap is the same thing but worse

IIRC Snap relies heavily on AppArmor for sandboxing, so on anything non-Ubuntu the sandboxing is non-existent.


AppImages do not work anywhere close to how macOSs .apps do, and even if they did the approach isn't correct for how things work on Linux.

Qualcomm (and Nvidia I think?) are the only mainstream ARM SoCs vendors that support TianoCore/UEFI on their chipsets.
