Mal etwas in beruflicher Funktion...
Wir suchen Cloud-Engineers in meinem Team bei der Hetzner Cloud, die sich mit BMCs, Ansible, QEMU/KVM, Go, etc. auskennen:
https://hetzner-cloud.de/jobs/2479946
100% remote, DE only :BoostOK:

Geht um den Betrieb der eigentlichen Plattform, alles von Hardware bis zum Hypervisor.

There are finally real USB3 (not Thunderbolt, not USB4 PCIe Tunneling) 10GbE NICs!

RTL8159 chipset-based, it uses the generic cdc_ncm driver on Linux.
Also seems to work on macOS and iOS.

TCP throughput between GPD Pocket 4 and MacBook Pro M1 seems a bit low at ~6.2 GBit/s, but that might also be due to the connected devices (both sides are using the same adapter).
I don't have another 10GBit/s device here right now, sorry.

Don't have a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 device, so I can't test the full speed!

New project post: AnotterKiosk

AnotterKiosk is another full-page web-browser OS for Pi's and other PCs, displays a webpage in full screen 24/7.

It has support for multi-touch input, a watchdog/heartbeat feature, local webserver, fully read-only root FS (won't kill SD cards, ever!), manual EDID overrides, configurable caching, reverse SSH tunnel support...

Can be used for signs, conference info screens, dashboards, home automation, etc.

@whitequark @salty there are human sized dog beds!! not even very expensive!
putting one on the balcony, putting a blanket over yourself and another comfy being and then looking into the sky is 10/10, very highly recommended!

@whitequark bird2 if you want it to work (well).

if you have to do EVPN (and then I‘ll pray for your soul), you might have to use FRR.

OH: Lesben statt Wespen! 🐝

Do I happen to know anyone in the EU with a LaserDisc + Domesday Duplicator setup?

I really want to have a digital rip of a rare laserdisc, but I really don't feel like getting into a whole new ecosystem.

Willing to pay for the time and effort.

EDIT: My disc is a Japanese NTSC release, making things even harder...

@erincandescent built in ethernet with a gdb port just via IP — back in 1999!!

modern debuggers could learn a thing (or two!)

@erincandescent Abatron used to be Swiss, but I guess that almost counts (this is going to make some swiss people mad 🫣😅)

@derf no comment :P

@hennichodernich @whitequark that's basically parallel ATA :D

@caligula9997 😹

@ryanc @gsuberland hmm, sad -- I don't see anything very helpful :/

@gsuberland @ryanc yeah, glasgow can just do that upstream these days.

@ryanc @gsuberland no, those are sadly just fiducial markers:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiducial_marker#Printed_circuit_boards

I don't see any relevant pins/testpoints on the photos on openwrt.org, maybe something below the RF shielding? hmm..

@ryanc yeah, that does require a bit of pratice first... :(

holding the CPU in reset would probably work, but I didn't see anything that looks like JTAG pins on your board.

@gsuberland @ryanc yeah, I've been there... this happened to me on a NXP QorIQ PowerPC platform and then I had to add an inline resistor with the CS line like this:

That was a bit tricky...

@gsuberland @ryanc IPQ40xx (like in Ryan's AP) will go High-Z on the flash chips when in reset, though, I've done this in the past.

@ryanc if all else fails, I do crap like this:

TOSLINK is one of the very few consumer fiber optical standards. It transports digital, uncompressed PCM audio over plastic fibers.

Why not transport IP-over-Toslink instead?
It's a 1.536 Mbit/s data link after all...
