  1. Tonight's #neverstoplearning - digging into #Android on my Galaxy Tab A8 (Android 14) via wireless #ADB...

  2. Finally finished that book I started ages ago. The feeling of accomplishment is amazing! Now, onto the next adventure... #lifelonglearner #neverstoplearning

  3. @zellerin Apologies for the belated response. Thanks for the pointer to gvpr(1), which ships even with macOS. 👍 🎓

  4. Learning AI doesn’t start with massive models.
    It starts with learning how to predict numbers from data.

    Linear regression is one of the simplest — and most important — foundations.

  5. This weekend's learning activity was figuring out a good way to make k8s templates out of my YAML files. There are a number of ways to do this, including from Ansible or Helm, but after looking at Kustomize, that's the best way for me to go.

    Ansible could do it by either:
    a) native k8s modules in ansible
    b) with YAML files, and the template function, which would just do variable substitution

    Helm is extremely overkill for my use case, although I'm sure I could get it to cooperate.

    Kustomize is the best mix of $inputFiles + modifications = $outputFiles per environment, and I really like how it works.

    You define your top level YAML files and then tell the environments in an overlays/ directory how you want things to change. You can even have it apply a namespace to all resources in there so it's never forgotten or replace values such as ingress hostnames, which have to be unique per env anyways.

    This will let me write one set of files and then push the YAML to k8s properly. I also fully intend to use this for a DR kind of situation where I need to recover everything.

    All of this will fit very well into my new Gitea instance, replete with an Actions runner.

  6. Three years ago, I was at a crossroads.

    I already had my CCIE Routing & Switching for quite some time, and I was asking myself the big question: what’s next?
    DevNet? CCIE Security? I started exploring both… but something kept pulling me towards one thing: design. The kind of work where you don’t just make networks run, you make them make sense.

    So I went all-in.

    I poured every spare hour into the CCDE path, starting with the written exam (400-007). In June 2024 I passed the CCDE Written in Las Vegas and thought, right, now it’s “just” the practical.

    I knew the practical would be tough.
    I did not expect it to take a year and a half of my life.

    Early mornings. Most weekends. A few nights every week with the study group.
    And, if I’m being brutally honest, a lot of it was time borrowed from my family. Time they graciously sacrificed with me, even when it wasn’t fun, even when it dragged on.

    But today… I walked into the Cisco office in London knowing it was the day.
    Almost 7 hours exam (yes, I finished a bit early). Then, I waited. Waited. And waited. In the end, the email arrived.

    “𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗖𝗖𝗗𝗘 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝘂𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗖𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗱 (𝗖𝗖𝗗𝗘 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱𝟬𝟬𝟲𝟰)”

    I’m proud. I’m relieved. And I’m genuinely grateful.

    To my study group: you kept me accountable when motivation wasn’t enough.
    To my family: you carried a chunk of this journey with me.
    To everyone who’s grinding through something big right now: keep going, but don’t forget why you started.

    Now… I’m going to take a breath. Then I’ll decide what’s next. 🙂

  7. Enjoy your pre-holiday weekend!

    I'm sure I will be doing homework toward to my Cybersecurity Master's degree.

    Never stop learning.

  8. Tonight's reading is Rohde & Schwarz' #Satellite Technologies pocket guide - lots of great information in a bite-size format...

  9. With each #woodworking project, I try to learn something. This time, when I cracked the wood twice driving the wood screws, I realized I was not drilling the pilot holes deep enough. Made sure to go deeper than I wanted but the wood did not crack.

  11. We remember the humbling experience of learning welding, fabrication, or engine building. The gap between knowing what you want to achieve and having the skills to do it feels enormous at first.

    Tag someone who pushed through their learning curve to master something difficult. Persistence pays off.

    What skill took you longest to develop? Some techniques require years of practice to truly master.

  12. Linux doesn't just teach you commands. It teaches you to solve problems, break barriers, and build your own path.

    WTF? I've been doing this shit for very nearly half a bloody century, and I genuinely did not know that!

  14. My #GNSS receiver is up and running, and I've got PyGPSClient going...now to start deepdiving. #neverstoplearning

  15. I'm having a lot of fun and honing my #maths skills using GeoGebra's Math Practice website.

    It's helpful for brushing up on algebra and if you squint hard enough, you could probably consider it a #game.

  16. 6/ What’s YOUR biggest learning regret?
    Reply and let me know—I’d love to hear your story.
    Stay learning. 💡

  17. I’m sorry Duolingo, I have a different language to learn this Summer.

    I had planned on teaching Python - alas my client refused.

    Guess it was inevitable. As a pirate and tutor of calculus - neither forgets the C!

    Even in playing the trumpet, one must play C#.

  18. Latest #neverstoplearning tool - Nordic Semiconductor's nRF Connect, a free Bluetooth LE scanner/interrogator for iOS and Android. Fire this up at random locations and see just how many BLE devices are out there...and what they're advertising.

    I may have to put their nRF5340-DK kit on my Christmas list...

  19. Latest #neverstoplearning - the Amazon Sidewalk Test Kit. Sidewalk is a low-bandwidth, low-power, long-range (LoRa/BLE) network of Echo/Ring devices; the Test Kit generates custom coverage maps as one travels.
