Starting to dust off the Ethernet switch project and make some strides towards finishing it.
First step: preparing to populate the back side of the remaining switch line cards. I hand assembled one a year or so ago and then the project got put on ice while I got busy with higher priority stuff.
But now that my friends are starting to get their PnP operational, I'm gonna try and run the rest of the boards on it.
Just inventoried components for the back-side assembly run …

Dear everyone
Ghada Elkhalili is an orphan, the eldest surviving member of her family. She is supporting six other family members in a tent close to the yellow line in northern #Gaza. I have been in touch with her for some months; other people in Gaza whom I'm in touch with and who know her have verified her story.
She is receiving very little support; in the past month she's had …

A last and vital lesson of the conflict is that mowing the grass
— using blunt force against immediate threats with no long-term plan for success
— has only seeded the lawn with wider problems.
The list is long:
The Iranian regime is battered but intact, weaker in many respects but even nastier and more hard-line in its instincts.
The Strait of Hormuz, geography’s strategic gift to Iran, is now a more potent source of influence for Tehran than its nuclear progra…

War started: line goes up. War on pause: line goes up. War resumes: line goes up. Oil prices rise: line goes up. "Peace" talks: line goes up. Talks break down, more bombing: line goes up. Thermonuclear war threats: line goes up. Ceasefire summit: line goes up. Ceasefire starts: line goes up. Ceasefire actually completely made up by the US: line goes up. Bombings continue: line goes up.
Rational markets, baby!

The Cognitive Bargain Has Ended: A Generation Born Without Comparative Advantage
The claim circulating in policy papers, venture capital essays, and parental anxiety threads runs like this: no child born this year will grow up to be smarter than artificial intelligence. The line gets used as a slogan, which is the first sign it deserves examination. Slogans that move easily through dinner parties usually carry hidden machinery. The machinery here is a definition of…

Heute mittag gab es rekordverdächtige minus-Preise für Strom. Zwischen 13 und 14:30 gab's 50 Cent (-42c nach Steuern und Abgaben) für jede verbrauchte kWh. Ursache ist das sonnige Wetter und die mangelnde Nachfrage aus der Industrie am Feiertag.
Mit Lichtblick hat der erste Anbieter heute seine Ladesäulen mittags kostenlos geschaltet. Trotzdem verdienen sie damit Geld, wenn geladen wird. Ich denke, bald werden das noch mehr Anbieter machen. Das ist doch tolle PR an dem Tag des Tank…

People across the United States are increasingly pushing for moratoriums on new datacenters and trying to oust elected officials approving such projects.
Perceived secrecy surrounding a proposed datacenter
prompted residents to pack public meetings that sometimes lasted more than four hours.
They expressed outrage at officials in the Republican-led rural municipality 40 miles (64km) north of Detroit
and submitted a petition seeking to recall four members of the Leno…
