I decided to be properly cyberpunk, my bar for Neotropolis needs exhaust fans on the outside. To be cinematic, the fan should turn pointlessly slow.
I bought a fan with a speed controller. It seem to use 5V PWM. Sending my own PWM, ~8% is the lowest speed. Below that it shuts off. But I want slower still.
I'm surprised this isn't a brushed DC motor or universal motor - it uses a BLDC motor.
I suspect the easiest route will be replacing with a
I’m generally a fan of Mission Local, so it’s disappointing when even they echo copaganda like “The SFPD staffing crisis is real and costs the city a fortune in overtime.”
A staff shortage is SFPD’s opinion, and the linked article itself attributes the overtime cost to “potential abuse.”

Friday Links 26-01
First round of links for 2026. Everything is bad, so have some links to cheer you up.
I really liked the article about visibility, the one about Friday deploys, and sitting alone in a café … which I can relate to.
I am a big fan of Bill Nighy's podcast, that certainly will improve your mood.
For some reason, the random section is full of cassette tape related links.
I'm a fan of holding people (and companies) accountable so today when a company truck sped around me when I dared to actually drive within the speed limit I made a point to contact the company and complain.
Sure, there's a chance nothing will happen but it won't stop me from trying. If I see bad behavior I will call it out.
I know some people are iffy about @…, but I've had a great experience with them. I'm not a huge fan of the AI-related stuff they're doing, but it's turned off by default and you can ignore it (like I do) if you're not a fan.

Soo I went for my morning run on the treadmill and forgot I had left ngscopeclient running on my Ethernet benchmark test. I didn't realize until I walked back into the office and wondered why my GPU fan was a little louder than I expected.
It was still happily crunching away eating 8 Gbps of data nonstop.
In that time, it ingested over half a trillion ADC samples, almost 150 billion UIs. The bathtub curves go down to e-10 range without any dual dirac extrapolation or anything…
Sigh.

Zero Carbon V2X Tariffs for Non-Domestic Customers

Abstract: With the aim of meeting the worlds net-zero objectives, electricity trading through contractual agreements is becoming increasingly relevant in global and local energy markets. We develop contracts enabling efficient energy trading using Vehicle to Everything technology which can be applied to regulate energy markets and reduce costs and carbon emissions by using electric vehicles with bidirectional batteries to store energy during offpeak hours for export during peak hours. We introduce a contract based on the VCG mechanism which enables fleets of electric vehicles to export electricity to the grid efficiently throughout the day, where each electric vehicle has its energy consumption and exporting schedules and costs.

I'm not a fan of the "users won't understand error messages any way, so we can just not give any meaningful error messages" philosophy... Is there a way to tell @… that I want to see more meaningful error messages?
One of my favourite poems. I'm not much of a poetry fan, but #PamAyers really hits the nail.
I often wonder what it must be like to be so strong,
Infallible, articulate, self-confident and wrong.

Fortunately I'm the sports fan *and* the romance fan in my house.
You can think what you want about Apple, its business model, and its crazy pricing policy and rip-offs—I'm definitely not a fan either—but one thing fascinates me: since November, I've had an iPad Mini 7 Cellular so I can read the news, watch the occasional YouTube video, or quickly and conveniently reply to an email while on the go or in bed at night.
Very compact, very practical, it fits perfectly in my small shoulder bag or in my smartphone holder next to my bed.

Recently, I got a phone with a much smaller battery than the one it replaced. As a result, my phone runs out of juice faster and fast charging is more important. I upgraded my charging dock to something that can fast charge and I noticed two things. The charger now has active cooling (there is fan noise) and the phone refuses to charge to 100% sometimes because it is trying to preserve the health of the battery.

I'm sure I read a post from an American fairly recently saying that this video utterly bewildered them as a Genesis fan in the 80s and it was only decades later when they found out about Spitting Image that any of it made sense. #TOTP
Hmph, a fan has got noisy overnight; I guess that's todays task then.
Well, shit. Guess I picked a bad day to re-case my PC and upgrade the GPU. Everything went well until I tried to update the OS, which failed while tossing a Mesa dependency error. Did some checking, and it seems to just be a Mesa issue I can't really do anything about ATM. So I'm stuck in 4K/basic graphics driver mode, with screen tearing a-plenty, till tomorrow? Hopefully? lol.
The new case looks nice at least.
