What weather?

[Point-to-Point AirFiber 60 LR (60GHz) link near Chaudiere Falls - but not the one in my profile header.]

In another episode of I've-Done-This-To-Myself, I have to unload this. Solo. 480ish Lbs.

@feld ... so you cloned your ONU's MAC on to a 3rd party ONU stick and removed the CPE-side throttling?

@feld that's what they want you to think.

@zop @feld ... have you ever looked at https://archiveopteryx.org/ ? Like, it doesn't NEED anything done to it other than fixing TLS/SSL, and some minor spit 'n polish.

... Ain't Elixir tho.

@feld uh. That sounds kinda amazing... but are you in a position to support it long term? Or garner community support?

Frankly there's no reason you couldn't split MDA vs MTA parts and use the same schema…

@feld oh, 10+ years ago they were starting to wonder if their decision to use tlsproxy might've been a mistake despite the shithole that OpenSSL was at the time.

... and then the project activity dwindled. When was the last time you saw any mailing list action? I think it was from *me* about 18 months ago when I finally figured out how to make modern Thunderbird work again.

@feld frankly am unfamiliar with both.

I do wish some other folks would pick up the mantle of maintaining AOX, but Arnt & Abhijit certainly weren't beginners at this project... well beyond my skills.

@feld I'm stilllll running mine as primary - with paying customers on it. Proxmox Mail Gateway appliance in front of it has greatly improved the spam/DKIM management too.

I think I need to put nginx in front of AOX to proxy for SSL, since the TLS proxy lib blows up every few hours.

@feld are you still running aox?

Any friends travelling Air Canada before year end? I have a couple DOMESTIC lounge passes I don't need.

Never seen so many broken cage nuts... what did the guys do?!

I use an impact driver all the time, and only done this once; these guys don't even have power tools!

@feld weird; I'm pretty sure it's systemd killing Linux, not Beastie ;)

Hey hey hey!!!

Guys! Gals!

Wait wait wait...

I found the emergency cookies! 🍪🚨

@pixelfed curious what techs/platform you’re developing on

Thank you Past Myke for having labelled all the wires when reverse engineering this heat pump (9 years ago!) in my apartment. It lacks a control board, must've been gutted by the previous owner.

Anyway, when the G-wire fell off the relay recently, this was a real easy fix.

And now there's heat again.

@feld Sometimes I wonder what the reject pile of whatever you're curating from looks like... but then I realize - no, no I DON'T want to know.

@hnygd @nuintari fair point, but I use enough commercial software that MacOS gives me the nice crunchy Unix under layer AND the FischerPrice GUI that runs $$$ software.

95% of my servers and routers are FreeBSD, don't worry.

@feld but that is such an incredibly tiny minority - why would you adjust an industry/standard for 0.000001% of the market?

You and I are probably 2/100ths of that demographic ;)

@feld given 99.9999% of them only get used once ever in the field….?
