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@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

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.

@danielpunkass if it’s much better in two years then it’s $150/mo for the current one. That’s my primary worry (not the absolute cost per se).

[Update: solved]

I have a friend that still runs iTerm in Rosetta mode and I cannot for the life of me find out how to disable it. Things I checked:

  1. Mac is an M1 Mac: ✅
  2. iTerm.app is universal: ✅
  3. “Open using Rosetta” in Info panel is not selected: ✅
  4. Restarted iTerm to make sure the checkbox in 2. sticks: ✅
  5. putting arch at the top of ~/.zshrc prints i386: ✅
  6. putting arch at the top of /etc/zshrc prints i386: ✅

Same happens with Terminal.app.

What am I missing?

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!

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

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.

@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.

Stand-by letter of credit
In order to establish adequate financial means to guarantee support for developers and customers, marketplace developers must provide Apple a stand-by letter of credit from an A-rated (or equivalent by S&P, Fitch, or Moody’s) financial Institution of €1,000,000 prior to receiving the entitlement. It will need to be auto-renewed on a yearly basis.

What's everyone using for git backups?

karppinen,
@karppinen@mastodon.online avatar

@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

Did NOT expect this to work but it does!! These are 40km 100G BiDi optics linked up via a pair of dual fiber CWDM mux/demux with a single fiber (+ 10dB of attenuators)

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

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 I am in you! My just-in-time process involves only now starting to think about configs for the devices I’m hoping to install tomorrow.

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.

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). !!!

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.

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

@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)

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

The battery backed part of my home network now:
• MikroTik CRS309 switch/router with optics in all 8 10G ports
• Ubiquiti U6-Lite WiFi 6 access point
• Hue Bridge
• RPi 4B 8GB running UniFi console
• Pentium Silver N6000 mini PC with a 4TB enterprise SSD (with power loss protection), running streaming backups from 20 different Postgres instances and periodically backing up 200 GitHub repositories
• Wi-Tek Solar UPS PoE switch powering all these devices over PoE with a 50Ah 12V LiFePo4 battery
