The Alta board, launched in 2023, is based on the Amlogic A311D SoC, which combines four […]

Coccinelle is a tool for automatic program matching and transformation that was originally developed for making large-scale changes to the Linux kernel source code (i.e., C code). Matches and transformations are driven by user-specific transformation rules in the form of abstracted patches, referred to as semantic patches. As the Linux kernel—and systems software more generally—is starting to adopt Rust, Coccinelle for Rust aims to make the power of Coccinelle available to Rust codebases.

In this blog post, we will explain the HTTP 408 Error Request Timeout and possible solutions to fix it. The HTTP 408 Error or HTTP 408 Request Timeout belongs to the 4xx HTTP request codes and occurs in the browser when a server does not respond to a user’s request in time. The HTTP 408 Error is directly generated by the web server with which the client is communicating. We need to take a couple of steps to fix the issues. In the following paragraphs, we will also cover the common causes and reasons for this error and provide potential solutions. Let’s get started!
