Working on some long-needed updates to my 1.2m dish setup. Mounting an azimuth sensor (ETS25 absolute encoder) directly under the Az slew drive. A previous belt-driven version was too complicated. This is all upside down, btw. #amateurradio #hamradio #radioastronomy #electronics #microwave

@breakingtaps @North very interesting. Seems like it would be useful for epoxying tiny mmwave diodes, too.

@stdlogicvector The copper heatspreader (?) is worth $$ alone.

@kees great to see this hw available for general use.

@LaF0rge beautifully engineered. It's a shame it's not economically viable to manufacture most devices at this level of quality now. I'm always blown away when I open up old Tektronix or HP test gear, which was typically also aircraft rated.

@abraxas3d e.g., for ARQ there is STANAG 5066, which looks horrendously complex, but I wonder if some useful subset of that could be extracted. There’s an open source project which seems abandoned ? https://github.com/Rhizomatica/open5066

@ellie many many years ago, running a large Solaris prod box for the first time, after Linux. ‘killall’ command behaviour was different.

I'll be very interested to see how it performs.

@avidseeker Try finding a file via a desktop GUI on any OS these days, "find" sucks less, IMHO.

Made some millimeter waves today, presumably at 47.088 GHz. Using a Kuhne synth at 11.772 GHz into a WA1MBA quadrupler. I’m able to detect power in this band (6mm), but not frequency (yet). #microwave #mmwave #hamradio #amateurradio.

@abraxas3d Thanks for all the work you do! One of the participants made a good point that this may lead to more experimentation -- hoping to see an open high speed digital waveform for HF one day. The STANAG/M110A waveforms may be one possible direction. I have a few simple ideas but not enough time... as always.

"Microsoft Azure Boost: Image-based Linux powering the Azure fleet", a deep dive into a tailored Linux distro focused on security that provides offloading and acceleration. A great talk by @bluca at @allsystemsgo!
A lot of stuff is introduced: Linux hardening, remote attestation, SELinux, dm-verity, IPE, LUKS, fs-verity, overlayfs, systemd portable services, soft reboot, ARM, FPGA, DPDK...

Ran a full disk threat scan on my Mac with MS Defender ($work requires it), and it found my archive of Linux malware from 1997, and wants to delete it :(

@mcdanlj I’ve tried a YG-1 spiral flute tap here now and it is working well. It seems to need much lower torque than regular or form taps. I think the form tap is more precise and will provide more strength, but this is not critical in my application.
