Finally got some good photos of the VSC8512.
To recap, this is the 3 lane QSGMII to 12 port 10/100/1000 baseT Ethernet PHY that I use on my switch project.
I need a better process for decapping large BGAs with organic substrates without damaging the top layer during repeated handling cycles. So this is not the prettiest image but the floorplan will look a lot better once I etch down.

Welcome to our real-time Earth imagery stream, featuring the stunning view over Europe, captured by #Meteosat-12 from its geostationary orbit 36,000 km above Earth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nigtvuOspmM - the imagery in this stream is the RGB GeoColour composite with lightning imagery. Updated every 10 minutes, each new image comes from Meteosat Third Generation's (MTG) cutting-edge weather monitoring mission, with a slight delay due to processing. The same for Africa: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3jRSL3y8Vc. And the announcement: https://www.eumetsat.int/new-satellites-eye-views-europe-and-africa-streaming-online

Themis Consensus Extension v1: MEV Mitigation by Randomized Delayed Execution and Intent-Hiding Transactions in Application-Specific Blockchains

Abstract: Maximal extractable value (MEV) arises when privileged participants select, exclude, insert, or reorder pending transactions for private gain. We specify and analyze the Themis Consensus Extension v1, first published by Mangata in 2021. The design separates value extraction by reordering (VER) from value extraction by denial (VED). For VER, block construction and execution occur across consecutive producers: one producer commits a transaction set, and the next derives a publicly verifiable, deterministic, previously un- predictable seed and executes a seed-determined, dependency-preserving permutation. For selective VED, a user may encrypt a transaction for a designated builder and executor. The builder removes an outer layer and commits the opaque inner ciphertext; the executor reveals and executes the plaintext only after commitment. Under selfish but non-colluding validators, an adversary below the underlying consensus fault threshold, secure cryptography, and accountable role performance, the construction limits unilateral post-commit ordering control and hides transaction intent from relays and the builder. It does not provide send-order or receive-order fairness, complete censorship resistance, resistance to builder-executor collusion, or per-transaction price guarantees. We analyze probabilistic extraction, spam, dependent transactions, decryption liveness, session boundaries, total denial, and threshold coalitions. We also document the initial Aura-based Substrate implementation and its subsequent transition to a BABE-based sr25519/VRF seed path, together with delayed execution, Fisher-Yates shuffling, and Xoshiro256 . The result preserves the original proposal while narrowing its claims to explicit assumptions.

I made bagels today. I used a different recipe and these are huge! 115 grams each, which is a lot more than 100 grams each. (Maths!) Still perfecting the process, still delicious. 🥯
