The brew guide from GLITCH comes with a grind size reference in a small bag (left). Seemingly wants me to set the grind setting on my Niche Zero to “a different grinder”

git clone --recursive github.com/espressif/es...

Cloned 18GiB of repos, failed because it needs git-lfs.

WHY IS THIS MUCH CODE NEEDED TO COMMUNICATE THAT A LIGHT SHOULD TURN ON??

Maybe instead of fighting with RDMA and the annoyance that is closed source nvidia drivers on Arch, I can just pipe the 4 Display Port data lanes straight into a qsfp28 port?

Both have 4 differential pairs, with 100ohm impedance, with roooughly similar signal levels, so maybe just maybe 🤔

Flashing random firmware and casually passing the "yeah don't worry the hardware id is different" flag will never feel nice

I have borderline zero idea what all those random names mean/do, but the thing compiled now. No idea if it works tho.

Pretty fun to enter a new technology and feel absolutely clueless.

Next step is to get LookingGlass setup running, shouldn't take long, but I'm also tired enough today.

Oh yeah, I run Arch (btw), and of course nothing can compile with the most latestest libraries.

I guess we contribute some to open source tomorrow ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Now just need to put a super jank fan in the other computer and do the same setup there.

NVIDIA DIGITS couldn't be announced at a better time.

I have a dark fiber that I could use for remote display with Looking Glass over RDMA with lgproxy (4k 120hz hdr, ~60Gbps), and this cute little thing solves all of my client side problems with its hopefully 2x 100Gbps NICs

I’m a big believer in Postgres for its versatility and simplicity. If you don’t need a full-blown message queue like Kafka or RabbitMQ, Postgres gets the job done. Thanks to ACID transactions, tools like PGMQ and DBOS queues leverage Postgres where durability and exactly-once delivery are built-in.

Just throwing this out there, but back in Ye Old Internet Times the links you had already visited would be purple and links you hadn't been to would be blue and I'm wondering if that sort of paradigm might be useful for helping people spot social media accounts engaged in impersonation.

"Just use Postgres" isn't solely about technology, it's about organizational simplicity. For every later you add to your data stack you're adding essentially adding a team. Just Postgres really does work, and you could see team sizes 1/10 to 1/100 of other organizations.

Well, thanks Google, but can you please elaborate what that unit is?

My kernel was doing some really weird stuff recently, where something (in the kernel?) is allocating a ton of memory that isn't really accounted for anywhere (not in slab, not anywhere userspace (processes add up to 4GiB total), just kinda there

Rolling back to older LTS kernel seems to fix things
