Join the Old Computer Challenge, 2025 edition!
http://82mhz.net/posts/2025/06/join-the-old-computer-challenge-2025-edition/
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 :)

- When: Sunday, July 13th - Saturday, July 19th
- How: Set up your OCC computing environment, use it, play with it, and write about it
- Why: It's fun, brings unexpected discoveries, and comes with a great community
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.

Linkdump No 61

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 ๐)

linux-firmware >= 20250613.12fe085f-5 upgrade requires manual intervention

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...
