In case you were wondering, the #MicroMirror fleet is handling the @almalinux 8.10 release like the fleet of champs that they are.
Not that I was worried, since AlmaLinux has been actively working on having the most overkill mirror community in the industry and always being way ahead of the curve on capacity.
@kwf It is an important distinction for contributors and derivatives, but not necessarily users. But there's only one website to serve all those audiences.
I'm thinking about just ripping autotools out of this project and if your environment can't handle an 8 bit char I'm going to just tell you that your environment isn't supported
@kwf I'm all for that. Autotools includes lots of checks for really, really obscure platforms that use EBCDIC and odd-sized chars and generally things that no computer made this century probably has.
For libscopehal and ngscopeclient, I made an executive decision - driven in no small part by limited engineering resources - to only support little endian 64-bit platforms with Vulkan 1.0 available.
So basically Linux, MacOS, Windows on x86-64 or ARM64.
When my parents bought their house, they took Boysenberry cuttings from my grandparents house to start berries all along the back of their house. Growing up I've always enjoyed the jams and pies resulting from those berries.
As a house warming gift, my mom gave me several cuttings of their berry vibes to propagate to my new house. And now I'm about to get my first berries from it. 🥰
I had this weird realization while nailing the double top plates on my shed that this structure very well may sit there for 50 years, and even if someone came back and majorly remodeled it, most of these nails I'm driving into the framing are just always going to be here.
@kwf Other that the clogged EGR valve/cooler combo endemic to the series, our Gen2 Chevy Volt has been wonderful. I think we're closing in on 170K miles, and much of our driving is electric. It's not as efficient as it once was, so as it ages, the percentage of gas miles has gone up over electric miles. We used to get about 50 electric miles before switching to gas; now it's more like 35.
Sadly, nothing shipping today has the electric range that the Volt had when we bought it. ☹
One of the fun parts of being a #Linux mirror operator is that you get to deal with China Mobile using ISO download mirrors to fix their traffic ratios with other ISPs at peering points.
Looks like they've moved to using Slackware now...
You rarely if ever have 120V receptacles on a 240V circuit here - I'm not even sure if code allows that - but it's common for appliances that take 240V to also tap some 120 off one leg to run lower power control circuitry etc (since 120V power supplies are common here). My furnace is like that, it has 240 to run resistive heat (for when the heat pump can't keep up in cold weather) but the control system is 120 and I forget if the blower is 120 or 240.
Normally 240V circuits are either hard wired to large mechanical equipment like a furnace/heat pump or water heater, or going to a dedicated receptacle that a dishwasher/oven/air conditioner plugs into.
At least in my house, I don't think I have any multi-load 240V circuits.
@kwf I'm so conflicted: on one hand, I've been told not to look into powered xcvr modules. On the other hand, I really want to see what this thing does while operation.
