I’ve been checking around the used market for DDR4. It seems used ECC DDR4 sticks are now cheaper due to low demand.
I like computers, trains, space, radio-related everything and a bunch of other tech related stuff. User of GNU+Linux.
I am also dumb and worthless.
My laptop is ThinkPad L390y running Arch.
I own RTL-SDRv3 and RSP1 clone.

Time to make a compromise by buying the cheapest €130 8GB stick.


Me.
A few times when I got smaller bottles of 100% lemon juice I just ended up drinking it as-is. But I’ll also eat lemons if they are easy to peel.


We have that available, I just use mobile data because I disagree with their ToS.
The ToS is so restrictive that you basically immediately break it after connecting a device. I was told that, of course, they don’t really care.
Except - there is a point stating the provider has the right to access your computer if there is a suspicion of ToS violation. Considering the network here is a student-run organization, that could easily be exploited if you piss off someone.
Maybe I am just paranoid, but no thanks.
Otherwise, from talking with them, most dorms have 1Gbit, some have 2.5Gbit, and all share a 40Gbit link which could apparently do 100Gbit (I think), but it’s capped due to licensing.
They leverage national academic network.
Oh, and they also got a class B subnet back when everyone was sure there’s just way too many IPv4s, so NAT isn’t being used here.

What an interesting domain the image is hosted on.
besides the VR headset
I completely forgot something like that even exists.


That was where I went “holy hell”. Wearing out ports is something I am constantly quite scared of when plugging things in. Especially things like cables when they want to twist vertically, but the port is horizontal, and, well, it’s a thick cable, so…


Literally. Repairability used to be expected.


Just a quick note if someone is looking for X programs, you can use xwayland-satellite with waypipe. Set your DISPLAY variable, launch xwayland-satellite with the display number you just used, and X programs should just work as with usual rootless Xwayland (so no window with another window inside of it).
Now, since we are already mentioning trains, and this is 196, what about a fursuiter giving departure signal* to a train: https://youtu.be/LX2-S6oLhmo
* Not actually, just acting. At least I remember him saying that somewhere.
Now, now, it gets more interesting.
You may notice his fursona is named Bolt Railway Dog, and the Vectron locomotive is named Boltik.
Coincidence?
Nope. CD (Czech Railways) named the locomotive after his fursona.
Alternatively, a post directly from CD: https://xcancel.com/ceskedrahy_/status/1726508712272220266


It even knows when you discover features by accident


Having exposed brain probably lead to significant damages to it.


Aurizztic.


When I tried PulseAudio over network in addition to VNC I just got a really choppy unusable audio.
I just gave up and restored to streaming audio with VLC.


Problem with plain Wireguard is if you can’t open ports on some devices to get a direct connection. It should be just fine with hub and spoke model, but NAT Traversal of Tailscale makes a huge difference. I can get a direct connection between 2 devices connected to mobile data and behind CG-NAT.
And also the config management if you have too many devices.
Hub and spoke, you just add new devices to Wireguard on the main device, and the new peer. Full mesh, oof.
But as far as configuring Wireguard goes, that’s pretty simple. And then there’s the weird stuff with MTU and fragmentation… but that’s not something Wireguard-specific.


And even if you don’t care, if you have an old machine booting from a HDD, the process at least isn’t so boring.


Yeah, just reminded me of this.
More like taking sips from the bottle until “shit, that was all of it”.
