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.
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). !!!
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.
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
@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
@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)
@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
I’d imagine #Fastly 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
I keep discovering new amazing things about Apple Vision Pro. I hesitated to buy this because I thought I'd regret it, but it's increasingly unlikely I'll return it. It's such a game changer. Naysayers are all wrong or will be in 1-2 years.
People on Bluesky say no average people use Mastodon. People on Threads say there is nobody on Bluesky any more. People on Mastodon say every platform owned by a company sucks.
How do they know this? Who I should believe? :blobsad:
I feel hopeless. I feel tired about the social media platform discussion. I have gradually reduced talking about the subject.
@rolle I guess I'm super lucky in that I simply feel no FOMO about this at all! I mean, I'm missing almost all of the world's discussions by not being on Twitter, or Threads, or Bluesky, or Facebook. But I follow almost 500 people here and this is already an unhealthy time sink. So no more for me please!
@janl that's mostly what I'm after, too, but I'd like to retain at least a couple of copies in case the repo gets borked and it'll run a backup before noticing. + if I didn't have to maintain a list of repositories in the script (226 on our GitHub account right now) that'd be pretty sweet too
@janl there’s actually a small one-time cost but no recurring charges. It’s on a volunteer basis and supported by an org who can provide the essentials (the power and admin)
