Onpahan muuten pakko todeta syvä kansanviisaus tähän hätään:

Mitä vittua nyt taas?

@gimulnautti nautin tässä siitä että Terveystalo on just käynnistänyt kalliin imagokampanjan (Mehiläinen teki ensin joten varmaan FOMO iski ja piti saada vastaava). Niin toimari tai kukalie voi nyt katsoa näiden miljoonien valuvan roskiin tämän ansiosta

Täytyy sanoa, että tänään jokseenkin vituttaa sekä Helsingin tietosuojaprosessit että tiedotus aiheesta. "Mahdollisesti oppijat" sekä (tästä muuten ei proaktiivisesti tiedoteta) huoltajat SEKÄ KAIKKI KAUPUNGIN TYÖTEKIJÄT.

Tää on ihan rikollisen huonosti hoidettu ja kokoluokaltaan kymmenen kertaa Vastaamoa suurempi keissi. TODELLAKIN pitää löytyä rikosvastuuseen se taho, joka jätti suojaamatta ja päivittämättä verkkolevypalvelimet.

Mutta muuten oli kyl loistava päivä.

@anuko @osma tästä on muistaakseni ollut ennenkin puhetta ja mielestäni paras teoria Järvisen asemasta on se, että hän tietokirjailijana toimittaa copypaste-valmiin, kieliopillisesti kunnossa olevan kommentin nopeasti ja pienimmällä vaivalla.

Is there an explanation for why LEGO keeps sprinkling trademark symbols absolutely Everywhere™️? Surely that’s not legally required to protect something like Star Wars IP

@janl okay but somehow I’m still convinced that if someone cared enough they could get rid of them or at least most of them

Anybody have any docs or performance figures for how much CPU is "enough" for routing/firewalling a given amount of bandwidth?

My current core router (Debian box with an i3-4160 and a dual 10G NIC plus some 1G interfaces) is getting long in the tooth and doesn't have enough PCIe lanes to add all the stuff I want, so I'm planning its retirement some time later this year.

I'm targeting ~10 year lifetimes for new builds at this point, so it needs to have the oomph to last through a bunch of network upgrades.

I'm thinking I would be happy with something that could handle 40G or 100G cross-vlan traffic (plus a few hundred Mbps to/from the internet but that's negligible) in a router-on-a-stick configuration.

But I have no idea how much CPU you actually need to do this. Currently eyeing a Xeon 5416S (EDIT: or a 5415+ which is half as many cores but significantly higher Fmax) somewhat arbitrarily, but I have no idea if this is overkill or insufficient.

karppinen,
@karppinen@mastodon.online avatar

@azonenberg @gsuberland I worry about the energy intensity of doing 100G routing in software if it’s really going to be just some static routes (unless you specifically want to work on that routing software). Something like the MikroTik CRS504 will do it and pull <30 watts from the wall as a router-on-stick.

karppinen,
@karppinen@mastodon.online avatar

@azonenberg @gsuberland what, 64MB RAM and 16MB flash not enough for you??? yeah, it won’t do all that but for the static routes plus perhaps the DHCP, it’d do the trick

Had my eardrum rupture today, bloody mess. I've clearly had a sheltered life since that was the most pain I've ever experienced. Went to urgent care (“come back tomorrow" cost 338€), the very nice super good hotel agreed to extend my stay for two more nights even though they're sold out. So I'm hanging in there.

The doctor's verdict is in: “your ear is very bad”

karppinen,
@karppinen@mastodon.online avatar

I don't usually have ear trouble but when I do, it’s invariably when travelling. Last time was in Hong Kong, the public hospital there expedited me ahead of everyone and charged something like $50 for the privilege.

karppinen,
@karppinen@mastodon.online avatar

@janl will know more tomorrow with the specialist appointment. But I drove over some mountain roads in the Pyrenees yesterday with an ear canal blocked, got some ear drops to dissolve the blockage today, they did the job and I guess somehow the pressure differential was still there after 24 hours or so -> boom

karppinen,
@karppinen@mastodon.online avatar

@janl got some pretty heavy medication + ban on flying (good thing I drove) + follow-up in 7-10 days. so nothing drastic so far

It’s the start of my European tour! On a ferry from Helsinki to Stockholm now. Tomorrow, it’s an MX204 install in Stockholm, then off to Hamburg to set up a new PoP. The final destination is our new edge location in Barcelona. I think I’m going to see a LOT of chargers over the next week.

Hamburg done, but again took longer than I thought (I see a pattern emerging). Hoped to get to Strasbourg tonight but I’m settling for Dortmund.

Road trip update! MX204 install in Stockholm is done, but took two hours more than I thought (I didn’t have a config ready to go). Now in the lovely Clarion Collection Hotel Victoria in Jönköping, where they called me on the way to ask if I wanted some food from the evening buffet kept for me (the buffet closed two hours before I got here). !!!

In Dortmund I accidentally ended up in a hotel that was closed off to house the Atlético players. The Spanish-speaking security folks asked what I was doing there, and I told them I was there to pee. They were super nice and let me do just that!

Made my way to Dijon quickly after that.

@janl I made the classic mistake of arriving in a French town after 7 pm. Everything is closed

A question for Apple Watch users: Series 9 or Ultra? Is Ultra too big? Which one to buy? I currently have a Fitbit Sense which is 40.48mm (1.58in) and moving on to the Apple world.

Please note: I am not looking for any price or ecosystem discussion here, I just want to hear more about the Apple Watch user experience. Thanks in advance.

@karppinen@mastodon.online avatar

@rolle I went from a 45mm to the Ultra and it’s definitely more sports-watch-y. Just based on size alone I would choose the 45mm.

But the Ultra was actually cheaper than the steel 45mm I looked at, so overall I’m happy with the purchase.

Just ordered another MikroTik device with a completely deranged RAM to storage ratio: the CRS317, with 1GB RAM and 16MB flash storage https://mikrotik.com/product/crs317_1g_16s_rm

karppinen,
@karppinen@mastodon.online avatar

@osma probably not, the CPU on this is not really geared towards routing. Might be that's just what the SoC has and there's no option for less RAM with the same switch ASIC

karppinen,
@karppinen@mastodon.online avatar

@harald @osma MikroTik is, to their credit, very good about utilizing the space. It’s a strategy tax: because they have decided to continue shipping 16MB devices, they also have implement most of the features from scratch because the canonical open source solutions simply wouldn’t fit (bird/frr, bind/unbound, openssh, samba etc)

If you are a VC who funded the "generative AI + cold sales outreach" startups whose work I'm now seeing in my inbox, I am your enemy now.

karppinen,
@karppinen@mastodon.online avatar

@ben not sure if I’m lucky but I’m only seeing the sales outreach from those companies themselves, not anyone who would have actually signed up for the service. There’s a fuck ton of these companies, though. Enough to feel like an MLM or the result of someone’s correspondence course on how to parlay crypto experience into becoming a real AI dipshit

Assembling the trigger crossbar board over lunch.

Not thrilled with the paste print quality, very inconsistent. the top left corner was way too thick as the board flexed during printing, the middle BGA skipped some pads, and the WLCSP in the bottom right was near perfect.

These big boards bend too much in my paste fixture, I need to find a way to prevent that before I do any more boards of this scale.

@azonenberg I've been following this saga for the past month or so and my theory is that you've actually done all this work over a three-year period and have chosen to time the toots over this much shorter period to project an image of superhuman ability

Trying to debug why image pulls from GitHub Container Repository are slow as molasses from our Nordic servers over IPv6.

Looks like the blobs are being pulled from 2606:50c0:8000::/48 announced by Fastly, and the best path is:

6939 (Hurricane Electric, US)
7473 (Singtel, Singapore)
8966 (Etisalat, United Arab Emirates)
21859 (Zenlayer, US)
54113 (Fastly, US)

I’d imagine NOC to be best equipped to look into this but I'm about 99% certain I would get told off for writing them rather than @github support, so not expecting this to get resolved any time soon
