Nothing like updating the homelab on a Thursday night. The Proxmox live migrations went perfectly, and no issues with any of the servers. Verified the backups, too. Gonna call everything good to go and relax.

I’ve started compiling a list on the Gaza Verified guide page of Mastodon instances that have publicly stated that they are sympathetic to the Palestinian plight and are a safe space for Palestinians:

If you run a Mastodon server where Palestinians can feel safe cr…

On the non-zero Love numbers of magnetic black holes
Black holes are believed to possess vanishing Love numbers, which implies that they do not deform in the presence of external tides. This fact has been verified in a number of scenarios, that involve tides of bosonic fields of various natures (e.g. scalar, electromagnetic and gravitational), and has triggered active research in trying to identify the underlying reason. Surprisingly, two counterexamples have been found recently. The first, concerns charged-field tides on electrically-charged bla…

Please stop spreading FUD about people who are suffering through genocide and famine for whom Mastodon and the fediverse are often their last lifeline.
You are not helping.
Scam accounts are very easy to detect as they usually employ bots and have multiple automatically-created accounts on different servers.
And for the others, we are doing our best to protect the people from Gaza who have Mastodon accounts on the fediverse from scammers with initiatives like

CausalMesh: A Formally Verified Causal Cache for Stateful Serverless Computing
Stateful serverless workflows consist of multiple serverless functions that access state on a remote database. Developers sometimes add a cache layer between the serverless runtime and the database to improve I/O latency. However, in a serverless environment, functions in the same workflow may be scheduled to different nodes with different caches, which can cause non-intuitive anomalies. This paper presents CausalMesh, a novel approach to causally consistent caching in environments where a comp…

Back to my issues with my Heltec V3 not accepting to firmware to new versions, got the work I did to resolve the issue published for folks who have the same issue in the future. In short USB directly to 5v, GND, GPIO19, and GPIO20 accesses the JTAG directly.
If you have the same problem and it helps you, let me know!

ESP32 Heltec will not update - FIX!
Have a Heltec V3 ESP32-S3 Meshtastic radio which works but cannot update and the usual "use a good cable" and "has drivers installed" questions have amply been verified in your testing? So did I! Here's how I resolved this annoying issue, (and surprise surprise, it had nothing to do with the cable or driver...).

@m7moudfamily@troet.cafe @… Hi, I am seeing lots of accounts for the same fundraiser on many servers. One of them – with hundreds of posts even though it joined a day ago – even linked to gaza-verified.org.
I don’t know which, if any, is the real one or whether there is a real one.
If you want to video chat with me and Joy from Gaza on Signal we can a…
