A gentleman named Paul Khoury approached me about getting a retro computer he'd acquired up and running. The computer is a Sun SPARCstation UPN (1997), a prototype for a super small desktop computer that preceded the Mac mini by about 6-7 years. Only about 20 were ever made. I was the designer on the project and had poured my soul into it, so I was proud to help him get it running. I dug out the schematics from storage and gave any advice I could remember and he got it powered on in a few days.

Very excited to have a paper published in DUBUS. I’ve been reading this journal for about a decade and never imagined when I started that I’d be published there. The journal is also translated into German (or English) by the editors, as it’s a dual language publication.

1️⃣5️⃣ Here's the 15th installment of posts highlighting key new features of the upcoming v256 release of systemd.

systemd integrates with many components of the OS. Due to this it links against various external libraries. Generic distributions – which typically enable all features a package provides – usually have to deal with relatively large dependency trees in cases like this.

It feels like cheating to use these pre-cut wire links for soldering (vs. push-in breadboard), but I’m over making these by hand. #amateurradio #hamradio #electronics

Prototyping a monitor circuit for GaN RF power amplifier devices. This is indicating drain current and heat sink temperature, and can be expanded to other measurements as needed. What started as a ‘simple’ project became an entire side quest. This uses an Arduino Pro Mini, an INA169 current sensor, and a thermistor. Could be done more simply with a PIC but this is what I had. The cheap OLED display self destructed not long after this photo, as I fed it 12v instead of Vcc.

📣 Postdoc job alert 📣

The “Astrophysical and Cosmological Relativity” department at the @mpi_grav in Potsdam announces the opening of several postdoctoral appointments.

These appointments will be in the area of data analysis and its interface with waveform modeling for the recently adopted space-based gravitational-wave detector LISA.

Uh, why does dropbox "need" access to my contacts?

Linux Plumbers 2024 has accepted 9 Microconferences! But we had 26 submissions for 18 slots! What to do with that? Read about it here: https://lpc.events/blog/current/index.php/2024/05/03/awesome-amount-of-microconference-submissions/

Got slightly distracted in midjourney.

This is Seattle, Cascadia in 3357, on the 1000th anniversary of The Fault.

Idaho's Mount Mersini-Houghton is in the background. Also notable is the newly refurbished Space Needle Memorial.

2️⃣ Here's the 2nd installment of my series of posts highlighting key new features of the upcoming v256 release of systemd.

This time we'll talk about encrypted credentials. Credentials are these little pieces of information that you can pass into systemd systems and into system services. They can carry secrets but also other kinds of parameters. One key feature is that they can be encrypted while at rest, locked against the system's TPM…

6️⃣ Here's the 6th installment of my series of posts highlighting key new features of the upcoming v256 release of systemd.

In the 2nd installment of this series we have already discussed system and service credentials in systemd a bit. Quick recap: these are smallish blobs of data that can be passed into a service in a secure way, to parameterize, configure it, and in particular to pass secrets to it (passwords, PINs, private keys, …).

Reminder that the CFP for @allsystemsgo 2024 is open, one month and two weeks to go until the deadline! You can submit your proposal at https://cfp.all-systems-go.io/all-systems-go-2024/cfp
Tickets are also on sale at https://all-systems-go.io/
