I integrated #omnisharp extended into the kickstart #neovim config.
With those changes you can jump into definitions and implementations of #csharp dissamblies.

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 #adsb in #sdrangel receiving about 140 frames per second using an #sdrplay rsp v1.
I am about to set on holiday and might write a short blog post on the antenna stack.
-
It seems my #gnuradio #correlator actually works, though I am still somewhat skeptical.
This is from a #limesdr 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.

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

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
-
-
The SCSI to PCI device is detected just fine, its time to plug in the drive and run #ddrescue
-
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

At work we maintain a range of project templates for various languages such as #Python and #cpp we have been looking to migrate from #tox to #precommit and #uv but now #Astral 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: https://github.com/astron-rd/PACE/pull/50

Rather then some no name Aliexpress SCSI to sdcard converter I am going to go for the #ZuluSCSI blaster
The board looks neat and tidy and the firmware is open-source and configuration seems straightforward.
-
Turns out its not #IDE, its not even 40 pins, the analyzer uses a 3.5 inch 50-pin #SCSI 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

So first up we pull out the #16716a 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.
-
This is the #HP #16702a 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 https://museum.dantalion.nl
Special thanks to @tubetime and @CuriousMarc for the inspiration over the years!

Investigating the conversion between #tox and #pip enabled projects to #precommit and #UV
This investigation is almost done and will modernize our #cruft #cookiecutter Python template.

Switched from #ISC DHCP to #dnsmasq on #opnsense.
The transition wasn't very smooth as the update process disabled #ISC without enabling #dnsmasq 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.

Its a fact, #HDR on #Linux, its taken 6 years from buying this TV to getting here, congratulations on everyone who worked on color-management-v1 for #Wayland.
This setup shows #wlroots (git) #sway (git) and #mpv
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"'

These #git 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.

@dos This is going to be interesting, some pretty good #zram improvements got introduced along these version bumps.
Another one is scheduled for 7.0

This year I migrated completely from #boinc to #folding 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.

#gimp to support #CMYK starting version 3.2 https://www.phoronix.com/news/GIMP-Post-3.2-Features

When upgrading #opnsense 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 #Dnsmasq 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!

The museum has very graciously received a #Philips PM6620 counter, one of the very few Philips instruments to use #nixie tubes.
As well as a #HP 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.

This super neat #gpib 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!

I very proudly present my long awaited blog post on my @eth0 #hackercamp project.
Here we cover the experience of going to my first hackercamp as well as the #serial decoder for the HP 1653B logic analyzer.
We cover the data format and how to decode it as well as release a #Python decoder for this format.
The #decoder is promptly named 'sla0p' which is a spin on #eth0 and means 'to save' in Dutch.
Find the blog post here:

Do you happen to own a #TE #SDL 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.

If you use #btrfs 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 #zstd initramfs compression, use gzip instead.
You are welcome
-
I have now both an Intel 3770k and 4670k that kernel panic upon trying to load #initramfs with the error 'VFS Unable to mount root fs on unkown-block(0,0)'

So I bought #keystones for the first time and I can whole heartily say, never work with #RJ45 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.
-
I have this interesting #linux problem on an Intel 3770k where it fails to decompress #initramfs and the kernel panics on the unknown block device.
Apparently, this happens because of zstd and the Intel #uCode 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..

CW: Abuse in roblox
The company behind #Roblox 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 #robux 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.

The first progress report on the #HP1653B 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.

The #Gotek floppy emulator has also arrived, pretty nice lunchbreak

Finally convinced myself to buy a #gotek 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 #flashfloppy

After quite some weeks of work I have quantified the #numerical error of several #FFT 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 #rms
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'

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