Do I know anyone who does beachcombing in the UK?
I'm sorting out set pieces for a production of Come From Away. Part of the set we want is 2 big pieces of fishing net (trawler weave size) plus some stuff to decorate them as they hang on the set. I've got some driftwood but I also want some large fishing floats, and other flotsam. Does anyone know where I might get hold of some cheap/knackered things like that? :-)

Nagios - Economy version!

A Node-RED flow that iterates through an array of endpoint data and runs it through a ping check, with the output on a Dashboard 2 page.

Anyone know of a collection of "interesting" little code chunks or algorithms for exercising compiler code generation, optimization, etc?

Ideally stuff that's not too big (worst case a few functions, 100-200 lines of code or so), and has interesting code-flow properties, uses more than a handful of registers, does something computationally meaningful, does not depend on IO, (standard) library code, etc.

Source in C/Go/Rust style languages a bonus.

Posting a comment about Gate Array Logic ICs (GALs) has just reminded me of a time a couple of years back when I received a bad batch of said devices ('New old stock'), and the supplier wanted a quick video of me running tests on a couple of chips, so I duly made a recording and sent it to them.

Naturally, I kept a copy of the test video...and that's how I had to show my wife and explain the contents of a folder on the home server called BADGALS.

BBC reporter interviewing a space scientist about the Artemis mission:

"...then the crew will be at the Lunar observation window - what's that for?"

Well, a very domestic day:

Finished the Node-RED Geofence flow.

Removed Postfix, Dovecot etc. on old server now I am using Mailcow.

Installed msmtp & made sure all system messages were still sent to me.

Finished configuring the reverse proxy on new main server to point to some test sites on the old server and redid all the Apache config files & certs.

Hacked back into a Joomla site where I'd updated the password ages ago and didn't save it (did a direct update in the user database table)

You really have to work at it to make an input form this user hostile. I could not make it accept even my dumbed-down text.

Maybe support doesn't want anyone to contact them (aha - neat trick)!? Oh, and there was no "Chat function" that I could see.

Geo tracking and geo fencing in Node-RED with a map page available on the LAN or via VPN through a reverse proxy. The flow supports output triggers for me (or any other tracked entity) entering or leaving a defined geo fenced area. Oh, I've injected synthetic test data - I am not really standing on the top of the O2 Arena!

I found this really cool FOSS Android app to use to send in the tracking data via secure API: https://colota.app/
