@juanan looking forward to see Harvard's increased investment in open source!

@julie absolutely not a waste of time in of themselves, and also think about how many people got started in computing because of them.

Ok, I'm close to giving up on running my own mail server. Spammers are winning the arms race vs. small mail servers.

What commercial services are folk using for personal mail domains?

The results are in, with 18 votes. I kind of like bsky but not seeing a critical mass of people in my areas of interest.

If you answered other, please feel free to explain.

In honor of this landslide vote, here's a photo of my latest tinkering: making pipecap filters for an 11 GHz RF multiplier (using the W1GHZ board & design). I'll use brass M3 tuning screws once some arrive from McMaster-Carr, although I'd be interested to see if they are very different to stainless steel. And yes, I had to order them online after not finding any metric brass fasteners locally. Why not use SAE screws? Standard metric screws have much higher TPI, even more than fine-thread SAE. This will provide better mechanical stability & finer tuning, but then again, I'm not building a spaceship here, so 🤷

Telegraph poles like these, with multiple "code lines", were once a common feature along American railroads. They are distinguishable from ordinary power or telephone lines by their multitude of cables, often occupying several crossarms. They typically carried a power bus plus individual lines for the signals along the route, with more efficient encodings used as technology improved.

They've been mostly supplanted by more modern SCADA systems that don't require so many individual wires.

@corbet @pluralistic the main question I have is whether this administration will end at the end of the term. If so, we'll probably be ok.

@n8dmt I haven't tried modifying or making stuff at this level, yet. Could change soon.

Weekend tinkering: finally made enough room for a microscope on my bench and looked at small things. The chip of interest is 0.7mm wide: a ~60 GHz amplifier.

"We’re writing to inform you that we intend to discontinue sending expiration notification emails. " https://letsencrypt.org/2025/01/22/ending-expiration-emails/

Understandable, but I'm guessing this will cause a lot of breakage for a while & train people to click through browser security warnings. Thoughts?
