For lighting I have some "warm white" 2mm LED COB strips. Just the right size for the fluorescents under the canopy.
3mm COB LEDs can be used in the waiting rooms.
I can power from track power with 10K ohm resistors to give a nice brightness.
It is indeed... you have to essentially think like an architect and build the building as if you're building a real one.
In this case, steel frame first, then "brickwork" and now the roof.
Once this is done it will be the window frames and structure then glazing & doors.
Electrics & lighting last
Yes, just PLA.
More work on the roof of the reproduction of Bedford station’s island platform waiting room and offices.
The roof is starting to come together now.
Bah! The actual data rate for the Microdrives was higher than double density 3.5” floppy disks…. However, if you missed a sector you had to wait 10 seconds for it to come around again. Latency sucks. 😊
Turn off parity on the drives if it’s on for a start. If you know the geometry of the drives then you can entrée them manually in format.
Make sure that the drives then SCSI IDs are not 6 or 7, even in wide SCSI. 6 is reserved for CDROMs. 7 is reserved for 8bit SCSI compatibility for the controllr
There’s no lock-in on Suns. It must be something else.
For completeness, I'm Cambridge (UK) based, can work remotely and hybrid in London.
The bit in my bio about 'bytes to petabytes' is real - from micro embedded virtual machines up to 9-petabyte datasets being munched for real-time customer analytics.
Plus, I know CP/M!
Embuggerance - it's such a good word, isn't it?
After four very busy years building global identity systems for Sky, my team and I have all been let go as they restructure.
If anyone needs 'big iron' Java services, wants to build a startup or create something new - let me know.
Can someone remind me again how many pay rises MPs have had in the past 15 years? 12? 13? Meanwhile, look at this (from the Nuffield Trust: www.nuffieldtrust.org.uk/news-item/ho...)

Another headline fixed
Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM
Are you sharing your NFS as a v3 filesystem or v4? Should be v3 and UDP. (Would actually be better v2.) You may need to recompile your kernel to turn UDP NFS back on if it's from the last few years.
I guess this is under Linux, where the devs "improved" the protocols?
Yeah. Right. Like that's going to work.
It needs bootparams.
You have got bootparamsd running with the correct bootparams file pointing to NFS filesystems with a full Solaris install on it don't you?

The latest @humanists.bsky.social Freedom of Thought Report highlights a growing, global trend of 'traditional values' & 'religious freedom' being weaponised against the rights of humanists, the non-religious, religious minorities as well as women & LGBT+ people globally. Invaluable resource.

Reacting to Labour's devastating loss to the Green Party in Gorton and Denton, Keir Starmer claims that only Labour can unite communities. I agree. He convinced Muslims to vote for a white working class woman representing a party led by a gay Jewish man.
This is the better picture
The rubbish backscene I made yesterday has inspired me to work on a proper replacement.
So, today I’ve been designing and printing a prototype low relief factory wall with drainpipes based upon a photo I took in 1985 of the factory the other side of the lines at Bedford Station.
Fog in Channel. Europe cut off.
We may have had this 30 years ago if the government hadn’t cut funding to the Camborne School of Mines Geothermal Energy Project in 1991.
Anyway, nice to see that the United Downs project is getting somewhere at last.
Looks like someone was using it for plaster filling at the very least.
Nothing Polyfilla'd in the machine?
Created a rubbish, but better than a white wall, factory backscene for the station area. Way over scale as it would be about 90’ high.
Anyway, a bit of an early-1980s Midland Mainline running session to celebrate today’s progress.
Finally the complete set of West Hill Wagon Works “Easidispose” containers are finished.
Unfortunately the supplied Cricut made vinyl decals weren’t great so had to print my own paper ones. (Eurostile Condessed typeface at 18 points)
Yes, more detailed.
We need to stop using industry-friendly PR terms like “age verification” and call it what it is: Digital ID
No, OO (or P4 or EM if you change the wheel sets)
Apple, Microsoft etc. are already starting to do (2) with enforced cloud based authentication. It just needs one more step to verify and gatekeeper application launching.
3D printer manufacturers are starting to force models through their cloud systems, which could then be used as censor filters
