きのう、とても日本語を上手に話す、若い中国籍の方とお話する機会があって、この話をしました。
とてもうれしい、とおっしゃっていただけました。
こうやって、一人でも多くの外国の方と仲良しになるのは、
(戦争をしないと決めている日本に取っては)とても大切なことだと思います。

そう言えば、大切なことを書くことを忘れていました。

日本は戦争をしないと決めました。
戦争をしないと決めたら、どんなことがあっても、隣国とはけんかをしない工夫が必要です。
喧嘩をしない工夫とは何でしょうか ? となりの人が、違和感を表現したら、何とかそれをなくする工夫が必要です。

そういうことが出来ない人は、首相の資格がありません。

「いや、私は、戦争をしないとは決めていません」というなら、ますますその資格がないです。

僕は
root cause
という言葉が、何か変、だと思っている。おそらく日本人が
根本原因
を英語に訳したもののような気がする。
origin of the problem
がよりよい訳の気がする

Japanese people often mentions the word
root cause
But I guess the proper English for that is
origin of the problem

(Am I wrong ?)

I've written RAID1 installation issue on NetBSD, which I do not have the resolution yet:

www.ki.nu/~makoto/diar...

My first
NetBSD 11.99.1
arm64
Radxa ROCK 5 model B
(RAM 32 GB)

Automatic network initialization failed after forced rebooting of router.

Ipv6 part was OK, while Ipv4 part was not OK.

ifconfig down/up of pppoe4 if made it recovered.

It took 30 minutes to reach above resolution, sigh

Now it looks Ok

Ipv4 network may not be working for me now strange

while Ipv6 is OK

Weeping cherry blossoms in Kimitsu Chiba

I'm just looking for the equivalent English words for
やはり 矢張
いまさら 今更

google tells やはり -> also
(I could not agree with this)

google tells いまさら -> It's too late now
(Can be agreed, but something different)

やはり includes something 'mind changed' ?

Hardware autoconf: ACPI & Device Tree An overview of how a Unix-like BSD kernel performs hardware discovery on x86 and ARM to bind device drivers to hardware devices

I had the day off and... I spent it flushing an article idea that was at the back of my mind and that I had been wanting to write for ~2 weeks. I'm not an expert on this topic but I think the content is a reasonable intro! Happy read and happy weekend!

North America is open on 7074kHz, FT8

weekend (only) on line: KiwiSDR in Kimitsu Chiba
ja1xms.ki.nu:8073

When I looked at the page, solvespace is asking me to update,
www.ki.nu/~makoto/pkgs...

And check if I did the correct thing by running its application.
Found it may create STL model. Up to now, openscad the only
selection to myself to do that.

The other related story, KiwiSDR decodes FT8, by clicking
FT8 icon (flag), which I did not know. And WSJTX not yet.
but (because Antenna is not connected on this side ?)

I have two posts for the status of WSJTX, now starts running
and Rig control is ready with Kenwood TS-590S:

wsjtx, Weak Signal Communication Software
wsjt.sourceforge.io/wsjtx.html
by Joe Taylor who is Nobel prize winner
(physics/1993),
is now packaged on NetBSD/pkgsrc:
www.ki.nu/~makoto/diar...
(It's been 4 years since I've started to package)

Please notice bw (band width) can be narrowed to any (?) value without loosing the readability. At least to 10 Hz ?

2025 is a very interesting number. It’s a perfect square (i.e., 45^2.)

It’s also (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9)^2.

And 1^3 + 2^3 + 3^3 + 4 ^3 + 5 ^3 + 6 ^3 + 7^3 + 8^3 + 9^3.

It was 12 years ago when I've imported the first trial,

Required depending packages are added, and it seems to work
for me. (long long way here, several years ?)
