Hello fediverse.
I am desperately looking for an #Apple #Thunderbolt 1-2 to #FireWire 800 Adapter (MD464LL/A #A1463 ) at a reasonable price (to be shipped to France or Luxembourg).
If you have such an unused adapter in your drawer, I’d be more than happy to help you get rid of it!

If so - how you doin'?

@tasket @Kierkegaanks good points both of you, yes it was an #IEEE spec, and I worked with some nice cameras back in the 2000s that were amazing of #firewire
Of course you are also right that the extra chips added cost over USB

It’s the year of our Lord 2025 … and thanks to @faheus’ excellent Nerdsniping skills I’m trying to get my old #FireWire #ieee1394 Audio Interfaces running reliably in Linux ;)

Verdict so far: MOTU amazingly works very well using in-kernel ALSA FireWire drivers. FFADO (in its pipewire-incarnation) still a catastrophe, as was 12 years ago. EchoAudio still randomly crashes machines as was the case 2014 :).

Имею кучу старых маков, но никогда не было шнура #firewire
За ненадобностью

My #PC circa 19 years ago. Note the advanced airflow of having the hard drive outside of the case. The microphone mounted on the other side of the case with up and down maneuvering. The GOAT keyboard: #Dell #Quietkey. An #MX518 mouse in its heyday. #Firewire capabilities. #Pentium4 Inside. A #Microsoft #sidewinder controller. What a time to be alive

Do I know anyone who wants some old, working #Firewire HDDs? L-R Lacie 250GB*, unknown 80GB*, Firelite 80GB. *with power lead. Erased.

oh wow someone remembers the good old days.

having latency to an external usb3 jbod with 4 2.5" sata SSDs of 1600ms-24000ms is definitely not a good sign so i will be swapping some cables if i can, i might have to 'cart some over from bestbuy or staples. they use the type-B port on the business end of the enclosure.

or of course #firewire 800 😆 oh god i actually have a pci fw400 and fw800 adapter somewhere. theoretically fw800 is capable of 100MBps and i'm not breaking 50MBps so there's no g-ddamned way i am getting 5Gbps to the box.

DaMAgeCard: как индустрия карт памяти SD воскресила DMA-атаки

Размеры медиа-файлов кардинально растут, а вместе с ними растут и требования к скорости носителей. Копировать сотни гигабайт RAW-изображений с обычной, даже высокоскоростной SD-карты стандарта UHS-II стало слишком долго. И вот жалобы фотографов на то, что кофе успевает остыть, пока все данные будут скопированы с карты, дошли до председателей SD Association и CompactFlash Association, и те приняли решительные меры: выпустили стандарт SD Express (и CFexpress ). Наша команда ( Positive Labs ) занимается исследованием безопасности программно-аппаратных систем и системного ПО. Поэтому мы внимательно наблюдали за развитием событий еще с 2018 года — с момента публикации стандарта, который обещал огромный прирост скорости за счет подключения карты к шине PCIe. Но мы следили не только за бенчмарками скорости, хотя она, конечно, внушительная. Наличие PCIe потенциально опасно из-за возможности доступа к памяти устройства, а это очень интересный вектор атак.Вот только до недавнего времени производители контроллеров и пользовательских устройств не спешили с поддержкой стандарта SD Express. Мы уже даже было обрадовались, что они научились на своих ошибках, и теперь не хотят давать внешним устройствам доступ к памяти (спойлер: нет ). А пока расскажем, почему уделяем столько внимания почтенной шине PCI.

Hmm, apparently have found a bug in an older Linux kernel running FireWire (not totally surprising -- very nonstandard config). Switched over to USB and all is good so far. Ubuntu 18 (wasn't able to load 20+ on this particular machine) #Linux #Ubuntu #Mac #FireWire

@25admins Did you know could provide up to 40 watts? I was rather disappointed with when I learned they didn't plan to extend this as my G4 didn't need much more.

This month marks 24 years since the #iPod classic launched. Although the brand no longer exist, it marked a renaissance in Apple’s return to market influence. I was able pickup a classic and a #PowerBook G4 Titanium 6 years ago so I could relive nostalgia of mounting your iPod, it was technically a #Firewire hard drive after all. The songs I have synced are of the era.

Früher: Wir setzen auf #USB, mit einem Host und alles andere Clients, weil die Mikrocontroller für die peer-to-peer-Architektur von #Firewire zu viel kosten. Wir (USB) machen für Host und Client unterschiedliche Stecker/Buchsen.
Heute: Wer Host und wer Client ist, sollen die beiden Geräte bitte aushandeln. Weil das mit Host & Client nicht mehr klar ist, gibt es für alle den gleichen Stecker/Buchse.

While Apple is working hard to send perfectly working high-end recording studio gear into landfills, Takashi Sakamoto continues to maintain the #FireWire code within the Linux kernel.

If you have such a device and would like to keep use it, help him test the code for #LinuxKernel 6.12
