The personal blog of a developer and hardware tinkerer covering a graphical terminal, DNA sequencing, chip die images, and embedded electronics.
HN links it for the HTerm graphical terminal, DNA sequencing IP summaries, and chip decapping and die images; one commenter reports a broken DEB download link.
Hm, I remembered something seemed to be linked here on HN some time ago, so after quick googling:

Surprised that you missed it, so I'm still not quite sure if maybe I misunderstood something in your question, or you were just having some healthy holidays around that particular time :)
[EDIT] Oh! For more added fun, I've stumbled upon ReGIS's sibling for bitmaps, SIXEL; some pretty screenshots e.g. at:

While sulfuric or nitric acid is the best way to do this, you can also decap using a box cutter and some patience. I recently did this to figure out if an opamp I bought was fake:

I’ve posted some better images here:

I’m going to try and get setup to decap properly. But the for those more concerned about using the required acids, a box cutter can give some insight into what’s going on in many devices...
I remember that the early comments were pretty negative on the Parallella.

How does the product rate now that it's finished? I bought one and I think it should be shipping in the next week or two. My feeling was that good or bad, supporting the Kickstarter campaign might help spur the industry just a tad bit faster. We really seemed to have stalled on multi-core general purpose computers.
Lots of terminals support both inline and loaded graphics. A surprising number of terminals support things like OSC 1337: https://chromium.googlesource.com/apps/libapps/+/master/hterm/doc/ControlSequences.md#OSC-1337
It's worth noting that iTerm2 and ChromeOS's HTerm (https://chromium.googlesource.com/apps/libapps/+/master/hterm) are a popular but hardly singular example. The (unfortunately name conflicted) HTerm/Hackterm is a pretty cool example of an older standard: http://41j.com/hterm/
I found your hack (http://41j.com/blog/2016/09/mirrorswitch/) very interesting. Enough to pop open a dumb switch I had laying around...
RTL chipset. Googled the DS in 2 minutes. What do you know... VLANs, port mirroring, IGMP snooping, ACLs and an embedded 8051!
Would love to try it, but the "Linux" link points to a DEB package (I'm on RPM distro ..) that's missing (404):

Can you provide a generic binary?
