I ventilated the enclosure too well, I can't get the CPU past 50degC, heh. I was so laser focused on making sure it didn't get too hot I forgot to think about what happens when it gets too cold..

The odd thing about all sky cameras is where you find yourself running stress-ng on it in the middle of the night to act as a poor man’s dew heater.

AllSky camera up and running. Gotta dial in the focus a bit; the stars don’t look quite right.

I wonder if software engineers who learned their trade before the advent of LLMs will be like low background steel.

The owner of this business is a old, wonderful friend & a former employer of mine, so please, I need all of my Pacific Northwest followers keeping an eye out for this stuff, especially if you run in nerd circles, so that his dream business, built via decades of grinding, can keep running.

I suspect the ballroom is a cover for a big beautiful bunker. The gold plated ballroom is just a bonus.

Some ruuvi tags ( ruuvi.com/ruuvitag/ ) in the AC inlet and outlet and I now have a nice influx graph of delta-T. A nice, straight forward, atomic project is good for the head sometimes.

My electrician ran CAT5 to my doorbell and then cut all but two pairs and just ran 24VAC on the two pairs? Anyway, turns out you can run a Reolink POE doorbell on just two pairs doing mode A POE and fast Ethernet, so I’ve got that going for me, which is nice.

The definition of foolishness is where you have a pc psu with insufficient hold up time and you plug one line interactive ups into another line interactive ups and expecting it to improve the situation, heh.

One of the things that has pretty annoying is that if you have any kind of bullshit meter, if you have anything inside of yourself that doesn’t enjoy being lied to, the last couple of years of almost every area of public life have been driving you up a fucking wall

RIP Jim Lovell. Famously a gentleman and a nice guy, piloted the first manned orbit of the moon on Apollo 8, despite no manned mission beyond LEO before. Led his crew from the brink of death back to earth on Apollo 13. Godspeed, sir.

If your shit-ass painter gets paint on your ceiling CAT6A connectors, I’m relieved to report isopropyl alcohol and a toothbrush will get the paint outta the pins.
