  1. I can call myself a proper fan because I went to a game this season. I might never be there again, but this season, this season I did my bit cheering them on.

  2. Right then, own up…🙋🏻‍♂️Who’s been adding soap to the fountain on Commercial Road again? Rumour has it a certain cop once took an unexpected dip in those bubbles — and the story’s even better than you think. Stay tuned…Due out Spring 2026 #StopPoliceMemoir #TrueCrimeStories #ResilienceAndRecovery #90's #FromCopToAuthor #PFC #Pompey #Portsmouth #AVM #BrainHaemorrhage

  3. Datacenter backup of backups

    • A datacenter backup is another building far, far away from the main one (other town / city / country)
    • You need it in case your main datacenter gets into a catastrophy (fire, earthquake, flood, tsunami, sinkhole, meteor strike)
    • The backup datacenter is smaller and has less processing power, but enough to keep demand / response flowing, fair to bit slow, but keep the site(s) on air
    •• backup datacenters are fully uitlized facilities, just smaller
    •• they need the same as the bullet points stated above
    •• they eat RAM HDDs SSDs et all, just at a smaller scale, but still large enough to hit the consumer market severely

    Conclusion

    We are fucked!

    • just kidding ;)

    No we are in heavy seas

    • observe

    History lesson

    • In the 1990's there was a disaster with electrolytic capacitors
    • They were produced with faulty dielectric materials
    • The elco's swelled up (toxic gasses forming) after a short while of working (days, weeks to some months) then exploded or teared open, causing shorts which fried components like chipset IC's CPU's 16550AF UARTS sound ICs etc
    • The capacitors were installed on hundreds of thousands of motherboards

    We survived

    • The computing world did not end!
    • Many of you reading need to look this event up
    • Most of the people who were fixing the boards have forgotten the event period

    We shall overcome the LLM component crises

    • Homo sapiens is a resilient species
    • Our intelligence will prevail

    Stay positive!

  5. 💾 Western Digital

    We are sold out

    WTF!??

    Why?

    • LLM's demolished the server HDD stock.

    Western Digital has run out of HDD capacity for 2026!

    Disaster for consumers small professionals & even large professionals!

    CEO Irving Tan has confirmed the company is running on fumes
    • Purchase orders from major customers & longterm agreements are reaching well into 2K27 & even 2K28!

    • Three years of desert level drought is close for consumers regarding WD HDD's

    Who is buying the HDD stock?

    Datacenters

    • LLM companies (what a set of ^&^#$&^)
    • Cloud & Hyperscale Data Centers
    •• many don't even have their datacenters built
    • These entities now give WD 90% of its revenue.
    • Consumer drives are just 10%.

    Enterprise demand is decumating supply

    • LLM training
    • inference logs
    • scraped STOLEN web data
    • backups
    •• these need many Petabytes of storage

    Even though GPUs get the headlines (whining gamers), HDDs are the crucial backbone of LLM boom
    •• They’re still the most cost-effective way to store Peta and Exabytes of data.

    Results

    • Consumer HDD supplies shrink
    • Enterprise long term agreements {LTA} are locking in multi-year volume + pricing
    • Price pressure is already happening (I feel them already)
    •• A puny 8TiB Western Digital consumer grade HDD was 108USD two years ago all they way to my country of SR / SA
    •• That same 8TiB HDD is now 196 USD to my country if and WHEN I can find it
    ••• I now find other brands easier but due to the higher quality they naturally cost more to begin with
    ••• Toshiba 7 Fujitsu are a few of those brands
    ••• I'd be better off getting a box of 24TiB server grade HDD's
    ••• In bulk ammounts, these cost less per TiB & they have many more IOPs that consumer HDDs

    DRAM and NAND

    We are all suffering from DRAM and NAND prices seeking amazingly horrific heights
    • Try to get a 64GiB to 512GiB microSD card for a normal price (feb 2K25 level)
    • While you are at it do the same with 64GiB to 256GiB USB sticks
    • You won't find them (needles in haystacks aer a snap to find in comparison)
    •• Large microSD cards are for now fairly normally priced (20% more) but I need small ones for my SBC computer(s) which need many OS distro's to boot from, to perform different functions with differen HATs

    Since septenmber 2K25 my beloved consumer HDDs are getting much more expensive also

    The LLM cycle of tsunami like destruction is not just 6nm IC's

    It’s about everything datacenter wise

    What is needed in a datacenter?

    • H2O O2 N2 CU
    •• you need water and those gasses to keep the natural flow of air running in your massive building which looks more like an Amazon storage facility than a computer server building.
    • sand / grounds / realistate
    • steel and iron
    •• without those your facility can't even be build

    • AC \ DC {not our beloved metal band ;)}
    •• you need to power the servers, JBOD enclosures & HDDs, SSD enclosures to cache the HDDs, fibre optic backbones, CU cabling & rails, circuit breakers, switches
    • AC regulation
    •• AC regulation is a whole seperate topic which I'll touch briefly
    ••• I setup matrix UPS systems which take the AC from the grid, convert it to DC then make their own super stable PFC corrected AC for the server racks
    ••• This guarantees stable power on all rails in the datacenter
    • AC is also generated on our own AC generator matrix
    •• Some generators (in FIFO sequence) run concurrently with AC
    •• When AC grid failures occur these generators give power within a few seconds to the UPS matrix, which keep feeding the rails in the buildings
    •• The other generators spool up and stabilize fast keeping the datacenter running smoothly on power

  16. Looking at encrypted messengers and the recent failure of the AWS, using @delta is better than nothing. Remember, though, that they support neither #PerfectForwardSecrecy nor quantum-safe or even -resistant #Encryption. High-risk targets should still use only @signalapp, because #DeltaChat and even @threemaapp, @matrix, and #XMPP do not have #PostQuantumEncryption (or proper implementations of it).

  18. Is your organisation teaching prolonged casualty care? In the current climate, can you afford NOT to?

    Get in touch if you need expert advice, a one-off consultation or are interested in a partnership.

    We also provide a range of CPD courses, higher education programs & bespoke training.

    This month, we chatted about the Disability Assessment in Prolonged Field Care. You can watch the video on our YouTube channel.

  20. Been using #Monarch for personal finances with our family for the last year. It's pretty good, but the sync breaks quite often (mostly due to our banks not having standard APIs)

    I hope this allows them to improve the product and that it doesn't lead to enshittification. But... investors will want their return.

  24. So, the miniscule chance that Labour will reaffirm the GRA through primary legislation, let alone improve it (as in their manifesto) seems to mean we have to go back to the ECHR.

    I am happy to help in any way up to and including being the sacrificial lamb (scapegoat, patsy).

    Is this being discussed seriously anywhere? Do veterans of previous cases and campaigns have any advice?

    Yes, I have my copy of Trans Britain 😁

  25. The CoROM Conversations dropped last weekend. This month, Bill Vasios and Aebhric OKelly discuss the Airway in PFC CPG. Each month, they do a deep dive into one of the CPGs found on the JTS website. Currently, they are going through the MARCH-PAWS-L HITMAN algorithm from Deployed Medicine.

  26. We are back in Poland for another Austere Emergency Care course. We support training companies that want to become certified providers of AEC courses through Specialized Medical Standards.

    We are monitoring the second course offered by Eagle-Med System. The have one more AEC to run before they become their own provider of this course.

    CoROM is happy to work with any other company that wants to run this #PFC programme.

  27. "Perhaps Spotify understood the stakes—that when it removed real classical, jazz, and ambient artists from popular playlists and replaced them with low-budget stock muzak, it was steamrolling real music cultures, actual traditions within which artists were trying to make a living. [...] PFC was irrefutable proof that Spotify rigged its system against musicians who knew their worth."
