Electrical engineer, musician, out and about on two wheels (bike or Vespa), I read a lot of books (aiming for about one per week, mostly SciFi, biographies, non-fiction), coffee-addict.

I may write about tech, music, retro, books... Currently trying my hands at blogging.

Fed up with the corporate internet, which is what brought me here.

Why 82MHz? Well I was born in 1982, and I studied electrical and telecommunications engineering, so the MHz is a nod to this :)

Set up your own boundaries, like using an alien operating system, limiting hardware resources, adopting new protocols, using an old machine (or using no machine at all), limiting online habits, using no GUI, etc.

Hi, #fediverse. Let's try to get #fedihelp with #electronics and #electronicsrepair.

I need to figure the marked component on an Nvidia Jetson Orin Nano carrier board (model P3766) because it has blown up.

If you can - please tell me what marking is there or what that component actually is. It had something like TT written on it - that's all I could see.

Thanks a lot! (boosting is appreciated as well 🙏)

Do you think the AI is reading #gopher sites too? Should we maybe all just start gopher phlogs to avoid having our thoughts used to train the next generation of AI?

My entire website is 44MB in size. Most of this are images of course.

Yesterday 1,2GB of data was transferred from my webserver, including EVERY image several dozen times.

Either a lot of people discovered my blog last week and spent the whole day reading ALL of my posts, or there's some AI scraping going on again.

I'd hate to do it, but I'm seriously considering putting some Anubis or Cloudflare protection in front of it. Stuff like this really pisses me off...

I found my sister's old phone today. The battery was dead, but when I plugged it in it acutally started up. It initializes to 1/1/2009.

Look at this thing! It's adorable! Why don't phones look like this anymore? Can we have this back?
