Hi, #IoT developers and other beings. A question arose when thinking about the #Espressif #ESP32 #OTA feature: is the code for the Xtensa target CPU architecture relocatable? Are there only relative addresses (except memory maps peripherals)? Or is the application linked twice — for different target addresses in OTA partitions 0 and 1, and the update process needs to take the correct image into account? Or am I missing some basic concept here?

Enjoyed reading this post by the @internetarchive 's Jason Scott (@textfiles) on 'why #preserve #Flash'. "For a rather sizable amount of people using computers from the late 1990s to mid 2000s, before Facebook and Youtube pulled away the need for distractions of a simpler sort, Flash was many people’s game consoles."

💯 awesome 😎!

#Flash died for very good reasons, but the life and creativity it took with it is staggering. Animations, mini movies, self contained games, stories, educational tools, artworks, and more all gone in, well, a flash. A meteor hit the ecosystem and millions of creations gone forever.

I've met people who made flash things used and enjoyed by uncountable thousands. Who took this moment to say fuck this, I'm out, and left tech completely. We lost so much in that.

The Honest Broker · The Texas Flash FloodsBy Roger Pielke Jr.

Hey folks please reboost if possible.

For like 20 years of my life I’m looking for the old Flash or Macromedia Director animations called Sex Slave.

Despite its name it wasn’t sexual at all, but main character was basically guy in gimp suit (think gimp from pulp fiction not GNU).

And he fights like evil computer etc.

Does anyone know where to get those animations? I spend countless of hours looking for it but have not found it. Hopefully it’s not lost media.

Edit: I think animations were avaliable on site possibly called AtomFilms or something like that.
