Daily Tech News 17 March 2025

Top Story

The LibreWolf developers are insane. (Reddit)

So is Reddit, but leave that for the moment.

There's this guy named Bryan Lunduke. He's a Linux journalist and YouTuber who comments extensively on the fallout of wokeness in open-source software projects - like the Godot game engine, which woked itself to death last year.

He has spoken out against software codes of conduct - what I call codes of cancer. His name is one of the handful that ChatGPT would sooner die than speak aloud.

And his name has been banned from the LibreWolf forum. (LibreWolf is a fork of the Firefox browser.)

And if you ask why, you will be banned.

Ask why someone was banned, and you will be banned.

They haven't gone full Mullenweg yet, but the clock is ticking.

"Libre" does not here mean "Congress shall make no law"; it means "Join the glorious revolution or die, and we don't care which".

Tech News

The Akira ransomware can be cracked in ten hours with 16 4090 video cards. (Tom's Hardware)

That puts an upper price on the ransom of about $7000, because you can rent a cluster of 16 servers with RTX 4090s for a month for that amount.
If you Atari has a broken bit, you can get replacement parts. (Tom's Hardware)

Controllers, keyboards, disk drives, tape drives, individual bits like replacement sockets and crystal oscillators, you name it, Best Electronics has in stock.

Continuously, for more than 40 years.
A Mac Studio M3 Ultra cluster that is doing nothing uses half as much power as a particularly power-hungry network switch. (WCCFTech)

Unless it doesn't.
