😆 Ah, the Windows 9x Subsystem for Linux—because nothing screams "cutting-edge technology" like a fossilized OS gasping for relevance! 🚀 It's a digital archaeology dig where Codeberg's finest laboriously resuscitate 64 #Assembly, proving once again that nerds will do anything to avoid doing anything useful. 🖥️💾

THAT was satisfying. I've been printing the front for a sidecar-type enclosure for my ACA500+ Amiga accellerator for use with my A1000...at an angle, on supports, as you do to make it look nice. I grab hold of it and pull, and the business end of the print just snaps off. Y'know, sometimes it's the little things in life #amiga #a1k #3dprinting #retrocomputing #nerdery

When I finally got enough breath back to talk, I observed that she had outdone herself getting the So I Married an Axe Murderer reference in. She got out of the car and laughed her way into the house totally punch-drunk.
I love this kid. 😊💖🤗

🩷 Network Shenanigans Saturday 🩷
Quick post here, lots to attempt to do today...
Let's say that you have a bunch of OCP NICs but not so many systems that will take that form factor; what to do?
Unexpectedly find some OCP to PCIe slot adapters! Mount them, use them, move on with life. 🤩
Carriers are from Dell and the NICs are Mellanox ConnectX-5 25GbE (SKU MCX542A-ACAN), but they work with all of the other OCP NICs that I have as well (Intel, Broadcom, Qlogic, other Mellanox).

Q: What do you look forward to on a Sunday morning?
A: Relaxing with calm music, a bowl of strawberries, and some quality time with NVDIMM Persistent Memory modules03:19.. it's still early, plenty of time to debug IRQs! 😊
also, for whoever needs to know this newfangled manner of kernel command line arguments in Fedora/Redhat distros ... if you're tired of typing out the active kernel string when looking up its params via "grubby", here's a var-subshell substituted whatever call to ease those pains:

Hey fellow nerds.
How do you handle large-ish volume backups between Linux hosts? About 1TB of data. Source has 100Mbps upload. Receiving end is Gbit.
Incrementals will be essential, since full backup is nearly a day's worth of upload.
FOSS suggestions only at this stage. It's currently performing backups put of my control with Veeam and I'm a bit nervous about the whole situation being out of my hands.

Learning more about Flutter so I made a custom RenderBox, LeafRenderObjectWidget and Widget to render Commodore 64 character sets! 🤓
(Well, probably any 8-bit character set really)

The rainy day's been good for finding some Round Tuits at home. I upgraded Woodpecker CI, put auth in front of VictoriaLogs, fixed the network weirdness with my wife's k8s lab, and did some other long-awaited upgrade and backup activity. Hurrah.

Saw someone on here talking about how medical offices keep mistaking OP's email for various patients' emails and sending OP these patients' medical records.
Makes me think of how in my email address, the username part is an entire sentence. I created it more than 25 years ago and will never change it unless forced to. Even though I have to spell it for intake nurses and secretaries everywhere.
The #nerdery is worth it. 😁 🖖

Free admission! Many cool local vendors, artists, and DMs will be there with great panel programming and games for all ages.#SomervilleMA #cambridgema #comics #startrek #cosplay #nerdery

Snort. https://tracks.ranea.org/post/780817630854578176/the-robots-have-come-for-your-em-dashes and not only Strunk and White, but also Bringhurst.
I use em/en dashes all the time, even here, but mostly in my professional work. I'm sure nobody else really notices, but I do. I pad em dashes — as in a space before and after — heh — while a lot of pubs don’t and I think it looks bad.

Having now read Terry Pratchett's THE WEE FREE MEN and A HAT FULL OF SKY, feral 12yo has taken to exclaiming a rolling-r "crivens!" on a semi-regular basis.
I feel like I perhaps have reached the parenting pinnacle?

The Apple world clock app is limited to 24 cities, which as there are 24 time zones on this rock makes some sense.
I now have them all sorted west/east:
Honolulu
Anchorage
Los Angeles
Albuquerque
Chicago
Louisville
Manaus
Buenos Aires
Grytviken (South Georgia island)
Praia (Cabo Verde)
UTC (aka GMT/London)
Madrid
Tel Aviv
Addis Ababa
Samara (evil Putinland)
Astana (Kazakhstan)
Dhaka
Bangkok
Singapore
Tokyo
Brisbane (weirdly, east of Sydney)
Hobart (Tassie)
Suva (Fiji)

So, I heard the kids are crazy about wood accents on their gaming PCs nowadays. Making a little wooden touch on my own computer here, with a 3D-printed C64 side bracket and a scrap piece of thick ipe veneer. It's a little rough around the edges still, but I think it might work out ok when it's oiled and lightly sanded. #nerdery #commodore #c64 #retrocomputing

The TNGbag is shaping up delightfully. Exterior is done, lining is already cut and should come together pretty quickly. I need to revise the way I do the front pockets on these bags as the pleats on the cargo pocket really are too much for my machine to handle - there’s a few other sticky spots but that one is quite bad.
But damn, I’m pleased at how closely the vision and the reality are aligning.

🧠 Tales from Sleepy Brain 🧠
03:48, pssst, hey, remember those Juniper SRX650 on eBay? I bet there's at least two dual 10GbE XPIMs on sale!
03:49, "no, brain, not now, sleeping. don't need another SRX650."03:49, oh but what about CheckPoint firewalls that have Xeons and can be gutted and modded for BSD? let's find one... or two!
03:50, "no. sleeping. quiet now."03:50, You'll miss me when I'm gone!
03:50, "stop"03:50, ok, but the Palo Alto PA-850 with enterprise license.. let's find two for H/A mode for the lab!

👾 SiH²O, TECs, AMD, PPC 👾
Have you ever used a 'thermo-electric cooler' (aka Peltier device)? Have you used one on an AMD Socket AM5, and not burned down the system or frozen cooling lines? If so, I'd love to hear experiences!
I'm considering the above on a hypothesis/PoC sorta basic, insofar as exploring the options for a potential application during restoration of my watercooled PowerMac G5 (4C PPC-970MP).
The last time I looked into TECs was at the start of the water-cooling wars in 1999... assumptions assume that the landscape is more efficient and less slap-together.

Y'ALL. #Language is just so very weird.
I needed the etymology of "electrify."
This led me to the Ancient Greek ἤλεκτρον (ḗlektron), which meant "amber" or "shining sun."
I got curious, looked up "amber," and found that it comes from the Arabic عَنْبَر meaning "ambergris."
Which is the gray pasty stuff from the intestines of the sperm whale used in perfumes.
Electrified sperm whale intestines.
That is all.

@ezralevin yup, I like it here too. My feed is full of #Mosstodon , #lichensubscribe , #cats , #GeekStyle , #nerdery , #geology , #astronomy , #GeneralScience and most importantly, #GenuinelyDecentHumans . Its like being back on The Dead Bird site when it started before it became an outrage machine.
