Will be restocking my Tindie shop soon!

Cramming so much parts into small spaces does not make it look better. Especially when you have some form of pcb layout ocd πŸ™„
Switching to #kicad v10 half way through wasn't the best idea either.

ended up moving over to #openbsd on my router from openwrt, this works *incredibly* well with all just utilities that are just... already included in the base system

if anyone's curious, it's an hp T740 thin client with an intel x540-t2 NIC- currently pulling my full gigabit link, got my VLANs set up all nicely and everything

only had one issue- my unit had shipped with a 64gb EMMC drive which openbsd wasn't able to detect, but after swapping over to a typical sata m.2 everything is working great

such a cohesive OS

#TIL how to add swap space easily on #OpenBSD

1) Create a swapfile made of many many 0's, in the size of how large a swapfile you want, so e.g. for 16gb:
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=~/.swapfile bs=1m count =16384

2) Add it as swap:
# swapctl -a ~/.swapfile

3) For great success, check it out to get warm fuzzy feelings:

$ swapctl -l
Device 512-blocks Used Avail Capacity Priority
/dev/sd2b 17065992 0 17065992 0% 0
/home/puffy/.swapfile 33554432 0 33554432 0% 0
Total 50620424 0 50620424 0%

So someone dropped code to decrypt proprietary #ltspice models. That allows you to use them with #ngspice and #kicad
