  1. I integrated extended into the kickstart config.

    With those changes you can jump into definitions and implementations of dissamblies.

    You can find my config here:
    gitlab.dantalion.nl/configurat

    You can find either kickstart-neovim or omnisharp extended here:

  2. I've just received aircraft all the way into France and Germany from high up north in the Netherlands.

    This setup shows the reception of in receiving about 140 frames per second using an rsp v1.

    I am about to set on holiday and might write a short blog post on the antenna stack.

  3. Spent the night and morning going to an involuntary backup and restore procedure 'test'.

    Backup you and partition tables kids (and your BIOS boot on BIOS/GPT).

  4. It seems my actually works, though I am still somewhat skeptical.

    This is from a correlating its two mu-mimo inputs.

    The second picture is what happens when you disconnect one of the antenna from the input showings its not just correlating its own noise.

  5. I wrote a to converter for vrt-iq-tools with most of the groundwork done by @tammojan I am sure we will reach a mergeable state soon.

    You can find vrt-iq-tools here:
    github.com/tftelkamp/vrt-iq-to

  6. Pretty pictures of the 16702a are incoming.

    Here is the front panel!

  7. 7 euro bedsheets, cheapest you will ever buy.

    Also these 3700lm led lights are pretty good with high

  8. Last update for couple of days, checked the software and we seem to be missing most packages. I have now downloaded the most recent software release so let's see if we can upgrade.

    Problem with upgrading is, you need a SCSI CD-Rom drive

  9. In case you want to download any of the installation media for the or the they are on archive.org

    archive.org/search?query=subje

  10. Everything is clean and back together, testing the output now looks good!

  11. Image created, no lost or bad blocks, we have an image we can always recover now

  12. The SCSI to PCI device is detected just fine, its time to plug in the drive and run

  13. Cleaning the sticky time, I don't know what this residue is, perhaps nicotine as its quite yellow, doesn't smell as bad as nicotine.

    The fans got it quite though, going to clean with a wet rag and maybe some mild soap

  14. The PCI to SCSi adapter has also arrived and everything is connected together ready to go into the computer.

    The drive is a medalist ST34520N, its 5GB in size.

  15. At work we maintain a range of project templates for various languages such as and we have been looking to migrate from to and but now the company behind uv and ruff has been acquired by OpenAI.

    So everything is ready im just not sure anymore if we should, despite certain benefits its quite hard to ignore how many things are being ruined by corporate AI

    If you are wondering about such a pre-commit + uv setup you can find it here: github.com/astron-rd/PACE/pull

  16. Rather then some no name Aliexpress SCSI to sdcard converter I am going to go for the blaster

    The board looks neat and tidy and the firmware is open-source and configuration seems straightforward.

    zuluscsi.com/

    github.com/zuluscsi/zuluscsi-f

  17. Turns out its not , its not even 40 pins, the analyzer uses a 3.5 inch 50-pin connector.

    Possible options, SCSI to USB converter with the necessary 3.5 inch 50-pin to high density 50 pin adapter. This option probably is not going to work very well.

    Alternatively we buy a second hand PCI (not PCIe) SCSI adapter and use that on an old machine to make an image.

    For this last solution I have high hopes. Currently looking at an Adaptec AHA-2940 or 2904

  18. So first up we pull out the turn it upside down and indeed see the protective covers, the foam and ahesive. This needs to go as the glue turns corrosive damaging the traces.

  19. This is the logic analyzer restoration thread. It covers cleaning up pcbs against corrosive glue, replacing the harddrive and cleaning the device and case alltogether (ita extremely sticky)

    A more cohesive story will eventually land on museum.dantalion.nl

    Special thanks to @tubetime and @CuriousMarc for the inspiration over the years!

  20. @tubetime hej! Guess what I got for next to nothing, still passes selftests! I have a 16717a and 16522a card. Any tips on apprehending the glue of death noghtmare before its to late?

  21. This Friday the museum will be extended by a 16702a logic analyzer and a 5785B pulse generator.

    We are very happy to be able to take these over, the logic analyzer comes with probes and is expected working.

    Better pictures and information on museum.dantalion.nl will follow.

  22. I am considering setting up with my setup

    How reasonably easy is it to keep allowing web-crawlers for indexing while blocking ai-scraping in Anubis?

  23. Investigating the conversion between and enabled projects to and

    This investigation is almost done and will modernize our Python template.

  24. Switched from DHCP to on .

    The transition wasn't very smooth as the update process disabled without enabling so essentially you had to assign static ips to restore your setup after the update, yikes.

    Anyway, now finally running a DHCP server that can do both ipv4 and ipv6 in a single process.

  25. Using an ESP but not getting the serial port under /dev/ttyACM? Seeing the device in lsusb and dmesg but still no luck?

    `modprobe cdc-acm`

    You are welcome.

  26. Its a fact, on , its taken 6 years from buying this TV to getting here, congratulations on everyone who worked on color-management-v1 for .

    This setup shows (git) (git) and

    Set:

    'output xxx { render_bit_depth 10; hdr off }'

    In sway config then toggle using:

    'swaymsg output xxx hdr toggle'

    Next launch mpv using:

    'mpv --target-colorspace-hint "path/file"'

  27. These triage bots, I get it.

    But still it feels kinda rough when you spent a bunch of timing writing some technical proposal for a new feature, no one looks at it for ~3 years and then some bot comes around and closes your issue.

  28. @dos This is going to be interesting, some pretty good improvements got introduced along these version bumps.

    Another one is scheduled for 7.0

  29. This year I migrated completely from to since none of the projects in BOINC seem to be actually working anymore.

    Months of jobless queues and even if there where jobs the servers would never allow me to turn them in.

    Both Rosetta and WorldCommunityGrid seem to be practically death.

    Its been a rough winter but a good one for scientific computing. Managed to go from rank 12k tot 6.2

    Need a bit more computer headroom for the new house though.

  30. I sometimes really do miss the days with and where I could just blockallthe apps from accessing firebase or other tracking crap. Wish we had that on modern

    Written from an ancient Oneplus 2 running , xposed and xprivacy

  31. For some reason my access points no longer provide the web interface through DHCP even though I can see the device got a lease.

    Anyone know how to solve this?

  32. When upgrading I would have really liked to know in advance that it would remove my DHCP static ips and remove the current DHCP server without automatically enabling the new server.

    I've found this wasn't very clear in advance.

    Both having to first create static routes to reconfigure as well as having to rebuild my ranges and static IPs from memory was a pity.

    Having a single DHCP server do both the IPV4 and IPV6 in one overview is really nice though!

  33. How the hairy ball proofs the radiator can not exist. A very suprising and unexptected result of this piece of

  35. The museum has very graciously received a PM6620 counter, one of the very few Philips instruments to use tubes.

    As well as a 182T display with 8558B spectrum analyzer and a HP5304A counter.

    Should you have user, service manuals or schematics for any of these they'd be greatly appreciated! Especially the PM6620 seems very difficult to find.

    The HP8558B needs repairs specifically its RBW does not work very well, if you know common faults / repairs let me know.

  36. This super neat to usb adapter is doing the numbers. And for good reason, feels nice finally having an offering that doesn't rely on usb to serial!

  37. I very proudly present my long awaited blog post on my @eth0 project.

    Here we cover the experience of going to my first hackercamp as well as the decoder for the HP 1653B logic analyzer.

    We cover the data format and how to decode it as well as release a decoder for this format.

    The is promptly named 'sla0p' which is a spin on and means 'to save' in Dutch.

  38. Do you happen to own a crimping tool with a 4-way head or alternatively a 4-way SDL Type a to a cable? Otherwise known as an HP-HIL cable.

    I would very much like one such cable or crimp tool and die.

    While the plugs are readily sold, the tool and die isn't anymore making it very difficult to reliably produce these cables.

    If you do get me a tool and die. I will offer to crimp and ship cables at cost to whatever few fools need them.

  39. If you use on kernels ranging from 6.12 to 6.19 and get the error:

    VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown_block(0,0)

    Add the 'btrfs' and 'microcode' hooks to /etc/mkinitcpio.conf via chroot and rerun initramfs generation.

    If that doesn't help install `intel-ucode.img` and add it to your grub boot parameters in the initrd list.

    If that still doesn't help (happens on Intel 3770k and older) disable initramfs compression, use gzip instead.

    You are welcome

  40. I have now both an Intel 3770k and 4670k that kernel panic upon trying to load with the error 'VFS Unable to mount root fs on unkown-block(0,0)'

  41. So I bought for the first time and I can whole heartily say, never work with again without them.

    These things truly are a blessing and it is much easier to attach these thin wires onto them by splicing than with those horribly crimp pliers.

    You also have passthrough keystones for if you already have a crimped RJ45.

  42. I have this interesting problem on an Intel 3770k where it fails to decompress and the kernel panics on the unknown block device.

    Apparently, this happens because of zstd and the Intel should fix it. But it doesn't.

    It passes a SMP memtest just fine but it can't seem to do any handover past the first EFI entry, I can't even enter the EFI shell.

    Perhaps I should reflash the bios because it should be able to pop a shel..

  43. CW: Abuse in roblox

    The company behind however , they desire every drop of this negative PR.

    The game is absolutely littered with gambling mechanics now. Where games can provide loot boxes and other in game resources through that you need to buy with real money.

    Both the company and the game designers behind the levels earn massively on this. And that for a game intentionally aimed at children < 12 / 14.

    Their parental controls are also sub par.

  44. The first progress report on the is taking much longer then expected.

    Its turned out quite time consuming to produce more modern representations of the data format.

    Here is a preview of the blogpost in the first image compared to the original programming manual in the second.

    I will probably split the posts in two and only start focusing on the actual Python decoder in a subsequent post.

  45. The floppy emulator has also arrived, pretty nice lunchbreak

  46. Finally convinced myself to buy a so I can emulate these dreaded HP floppy drives before my Sony MP-F52W-30 gives out.

    Will be an interesting exercise to get the config going with

  47. After quite some weeks of work I have quantified the error of several implementations compared to my own.

    This was done by implementing an arbitrary precision FFT to compute the true value.

    For each implementation we compare the L1, L2 and Linfinity norms as well as

    The theoretical l2 bound is derived by Nicholas J.Higham in his famous book 'accuracy and stability of numerical algorithms'

    The Linf bound from P. Henrici 'Applied and Computational Complex Analysis'

  48. Making a template for cause I am getting quite tired of all the code coverage, editorconfig and clang-format integration I have to do each time.
