My opinion that no one asked for: I think Windows should just keep the blue screen AND also print more useful information on the screen.

It seems poor design to make the system failure screen indistinguishable at a glance from a system upgrade screen.

Windows is getting rid of the Blue Screen of Death after 40 years

Microsoft is changing its Blue Screen of Death to a black one. After decades, a simplified black error message will replace the traditional BSOD.

Iโ€™m in the process of replacing the original 80GB HDD in my iMac G4 with a 240GB SSD.

The first major issue I resolved was successfully burning a new Mac OSX Leopard Install DVD.

Not only does Apple not publically allow for downloading the official install image (paid Dev account required) but the DVD image I can find on the way back machine requires a dual layer DVD which my internal iMac G4 drive canโ€™t read or right.

Iโ€™m doing a test install on the original HDD right now.

Tired: Bundling "AI" neural net processors into PCs.
Wired: Buldling internal FPGAs into PCs.

I also forgot how bad Apple iTunes was for getting album artwork to show up when I brought my own music to the application.

#VintageMacintosh

I installed Quicktime 7.7 on my iMac G4 PPC so I can run iTunes on it. I copied over some Stardew & Chill albums I purchased off Bandcamp and am now running the iTunes Visualizer like is 2003.

Ah yes, the CPU is hammered like it's 2003 as well ๐Ÿ˜

Grafana is so awesome. It's abilities coupled with those of the Flux language make things so easy. I am just starting to scratch the surface of what I can display.

It turns out I am just an idiot.

It was DNS.

This seems to be an issue with rtl_433 while using -F "influx://", not an issue with the firewall or InfluxDB docker container.

I can run a test python script from the same machine that is running the rtl_433 tool and write successfully to the remote InfluxDB instance. Also tried the same and different API Tokens as well as the same and different buckets just to check.

Unclear why rtl_433 can only write to a local InfluxDB instance.

Well adding a remote InfluxDB source to Grafana is easy-peasy. Now I just need to figure out why I cannot seem to write data to a remote InfluxDB instance.
