tired: overnighting car parts from japan

wired: buying car parts from some rando on ebay and hoping they're not fake or wrong when they arrive a week or so later

Hi @jcs , I was reading https://jcs.org/2021/07/19/desktop again at wondered if you ever measured the power consumption of this setup?

Noticing a lot of eBay descriptions clearly written by AI lately. Like a 4th grader trying to boost the word count of an essay with sum-zero phrases.

I’ve not sold on eBay in years so I’m curious to know if they’ve added an AI description service for sellers or are sellers getting them from an external service?

One more Google service removed from my life, Google Fi - insanely difficult to port out my number, but done now.

Three left:

Google Music - kids listen to it a lot, but getting them hooked on Plex amp

Gmail - in progress of moving to Proton

Photos - will be the hardest because it's still the best UX out of any manager

Google's completely lost any appeal.

Many of my projects seem to end right at the point where I have to design a PCB and then I give up. I need a Tinkercad for lazy PCB making.

The listing is up but there's very minimal stock available from the fist test run. Will get another production run going soon.

Supposedly a non-root RCE in OpenBSD up to 7.4, appears to require NFSd running though?

I usually try to keep you informed about interesting commits that are happening, but we're all clenching for NetBSD 10 right now...

Regardless, nat committed a new audio driver...

... for Motorola 68000 Macintoshes. enjoy!
