Raspberry Pi IPO set for June https://www.theregister.com/2024/05/22/raspberry_pi_ipo_set_for_june_2024/

@ednl@mastodon.social avatar

@geerlingguy I don't know much about IPOs; how do they expect to raise "only" $40M if ARM alone already pledged $35M and Lansdowne up to $20M? Is it an absolute minimum figure in order to not upset the share price if demand is not immediately sky-high? Keep expectations low, sort of thing?

@geerlingguy Re: pushbutton to short two gpio pins, you don't want that because.... it will short two gpio pins :) You also need at least a current-limiting resistor.

So... Aurora forecast: https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/3-day-forecast

Looking at the graph, it shows predicted G5 levels around 0900-1200 UTC, which would be 5:00 am EST, or 3:00 PST. Still a chance to see something tonight, but... it'll be quite early in the morning.

@geerlingguy You mean EDT and PDT. If you're taking the start time of 9:00 UTC then yes, that's 5:00 EDT. But it's 2:00 PDT, not 3.

Hey @internet_nl

Ik krijg op de 'Connection test' van https://internet.nl maar een score van 10% terwijl ik toch echt alles op #IPv6 first heb staan.

Mijn eerstgebruikte nameserver is die van @freedominternet mijn internetprovider: 2a10:3780:2:52:185:93:175:43

En als ik internet.nl opvraag krijg ik toch echt ook het IPv6 adres terug:
$ host internet.nl
internet.nl has address 62.204.66.10
internet.nl has IPv6 address 2a00:d00:ff:162:62:204:66:10
internet.nl mail is handled by 10 vmx02.prolocation.nl.
internet.nl mail is handled by 10 vmx01.prolocation.nl.
internet.nl mail is handled by 10 vmx03.prolocation.net.

De test van https://ipv6-test.com geeft wel een 100% groene score.

Is er iets mis met jullie 'IPv6 only nameserver' waardoor de connectiontest niet goed werkt misschien?

IPv6-test.com is a free service that checks your IPv6 and IPv4 connectivity and speed. Diagnose connection problems, discover which address(es) you are currently using to browse the Internet, and what is your browser's protocol of choice when both v6 and v4 are available. Score 20 / 20

Part one of the new electronics workbench saga is out, over on Geerling Engineering: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JV1Iv9bXkdI

What are some of the essential tools you think we need on this bench?

ednl,
@ednl@mastodon.social avatar

@geerlingguy First off I'd want two flat metal strips as crossbars on the back of those nifty shelves, who look sturdy but that's a lot of weight all hanging on to a bit of plastic profile. And ah yes, you got a mat. I sit behind computers more now but in EE college and in all serious workshops our workbenches had antistatic coating. At home I just have a mat too. Unlike me though, you really should ground it....

Whoever said a Raspberry Pi can't be a real NAS?

It's automated with Ansible, pulling ZFS snapshots from my beefy HL15 rackmount NAS, and it's sipping 8.5W while doing so. More to come, here's the story so far: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8EIs8s303k

@geerlingguy Interesting stuff. I remember seeing this in another recent video but forgot to ask then; the only difference in your playbooks is the user 'pi' for the Pi server. But you can set any username nowadays in RPiOS. Are there still hardcoded 'pi' user dependencies? I haven't ran into any recently.

We adopted a super sweet 8 month old pup from a shelter two weeks ago and were convinced he was a Rottie-Shepherd mix. Just got the DNA results back, and, through his genes are primarily "mutt," the rest of the results have us going 😳

DNA results for our dog Riley that reveal his genetic percentages as: 100% Riley 33.4% Supermutt 28.9% Australian Cattle Dog 12.9% Border Collie 11% Labrador Retriever 5.4% American Pit Bull Terrier 4.3% McNab 4.1% German Shepherd Dog

It's 2024, and my Mac is still terrible at copying files over the network: https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2024/macos-finder-still-bad-network-file-copies

ednl,
@ednl@mastodon.social avatar

@geerlingguy You mentioned rsync as being slow but just to confirm: that was when you used it as a "local" copier to a mounted share, right? Because if you used it over ssh it would be exactly the same as Transmit/sftp/scp, I'm sure.

ednl,
@ednl@mastodon.social avatar

@geerlingguy I absolutely got it from context, so I asked maybe more for others than for myself, sorry.

Remaining 0.001% uncertainty was that I wondered if the ancient BSD version of rsync was perhaps less able than a new GNU version from MacPorts/Homebrew.

One of the most annoying things about being an English-language content creator are the Americans who insist that everything must be about them.

I can make a video that never mentions the US once, and I will get hundreds of responses about the US.

I will get people claiming that I'm wrong because of some issue unique to the US.

I will get Americans telling me that I have a moral responsibility to help them fix their cities, despite the fact that I'm not American and I don't live there.

@notjustbikes My impression was that the speedgun reading was perhaps influenced/b0rked by it picking up traffic in two opposing directions, hence the errant 40+ numbers, certainly that 63 one.

how HEAD works in git https://jvns.ca/blog/2024/03/08/how-head-works-in-git/

ednl,
@ednl@mastodon.social avatar

@b0rk Ah yes. Then the most confusing part to me is that Git chooses to display 'main' for this commit, presumably because it is in the history of the main branch. But it's not the actual latest main pointer?

EDIT: or it is, and we got here via a really convoluted way e.g. by checking out a prev commit and then the next one again?!

I guess I just never noticed this or registered it whenever I happened to be in detached head state, because I always try to get out of it as quickly as possible.
