  • I’m a little confused by some of the discussion. Surely the problems they’re talking about with variations in the test system also apply to windows. You result can be affected by:

    • Which windows updates have been applied
    • Which version of the drivers have been installed
    • What other software is on the system

    Linux is the same, but they seem to be more concerned about it. Can someone explain?

    I’ve got a 12. I really like it.

    Get a DIY one and put your own memory and SSD in it. You’ll save £$\€ over the framework prices for those. I paid about £750 total for my maxed out 48GB/2TB one. Then slap something like Fedora on it and you’re good to go.

    I got a Lenovo slim pen 2 as the framework stylus isn’t out yet. Pairing required holding the buttons for ages, but works great after that.







  • Depends on two things

    1. What performance counters your CPU has.
    2. What you consider to be a memory load.

    Tools like perf on Linux can get you access to your processors performance counters and you’ll be able to see how many “events” occur while a process is running.

    What’s an event? Well they can be configured to monitor all sorts of things in the CPU. Instructions executed, Interrupts, page table misses, and on some loads / stores.

    Memory systems on a CPU aren’t straightforward though. They contain multiple levels of cache, each of which reduces the number of accesses which go to the next layer. So depending on which level you measure, you’ll get different numbers.




  • I agree with what you’re saying, that the attack didn’t require any data breach to take place, but I do have one slightly pedantic point.

    Codeberg being non-profit does not make the employees “volunteers”. They are normal employees and take a wage like working for any other company. What’s different is that any excess revenue over costs must be used to continue the company’s objectives and is not able to be taken by the company owners as profit.
