First up is the HP 200LX from 1994. It (shockingly) runs MS DOS 5 off of 2 AA batteries with a 8 MHz 80186 processor. It has a CGA screen with 2 bit color and no backlight. #retrocomputing

The number of CVEs GitHub helps open source projects disclose has more than doubled compared to any 30 day period in the past year. Many of these vulnerabilities are being discovered with LLM assistance, and a natural question is "are they slop?" Using the famously uncontroversial CVSS scores, you can see that there are more low severity and high severity scores compared to a year ago. 🤷 It's comp

Don't call it vintage! The Sony CLIÉ PEG T-615 (2002) is "only" 24 years old. But with a color screen, you might mistake for a more contemporary device. #retrocomputing
Crossing over into the 21st century is the Sony CLIÉ PEG T-415 (2001). It has a 320x320 display with 4 bits of grayscale, but still the somewhat feeble green electroluminescent background. This devices is quite small and lightweight, and m…
Another popular device is the GameBoy Color (1998). It's got a color screen that can show a dazzling 56 colors at the same time (out of a 15 bit color space), but no backlight. I don't have a way to run custom programs on this device (yet?…

You can do a lot of things with @sigstore: sign things with workload identity, get attestations in package managers like PyPI, etc. But there's some limitations. For instance, you can't verify a Sigstore bundle in a 16-bit DOS environment.…
