The network cabling came in so got it installed. Not sure if this is _exactly_ the way I want to run it, but either way it's pretty clean overall. Each one of the Minisforum MS-A2s will get 2x10GbE fiber for iSCSI and 1x2.5GbE for VM traffic.

The woman who could impede RFK Jr.’s anti-vaccine agenda
The public would be better-off with a serious person such as Susan Monarez at the CDC’s helm.

The Senate should confirm her, and fast.
Monarez, meanwhile, needs to recognize the burden she is accepting.
Being CDC director is not an easy job, even in less contentious times.
Having to report to Kennedy makes it incalculably harder.
Lives will depend on whether Monarez resists Kennedy’s efforts to …

The woman who could impede RFK Jr.’s anti-vaccine agenda
Susan Monarez deserves to be confirmed as CDC director.

Bayesian Perspective on Memorization and Reconstruction
We introduce a new Bayesian perspective on the concept of data reconstruction, and leverage this viewpoint to propose a new security definition that, in certain settings, provably prevents reconstruction attacks. We use our paradigm to shed new light on one of the most notorious attacks in the privacy and memorization literature - fingerprinting code attacks (FPC). We argue that these attacks are really a form of membership inference attacks, rather than reconstruction attacks. Furthermore, we …

Simultaneously fascinating and horrifying: memories from the last of the Scottish whalers in this episode of #RareEarth about the whale hunts of the Antarctic that led to near extinction.

are you a platform/embedded developer?
do you need to interact with hardware in a semi-custom manner?
would you like to suffer a lot less doing it?
if so, #GlasgowInterfaceExplorer might be for you. the code below is all you need to build a custom testbench for a DUT you've never seen before. just as easily you can add JTAG/SWD debug, protocol analyzers, etc.…

The shelves came in, got them installed. Should be big enough to hold the MS-A2s, but if not I'll have to source the full length ones. Seems stable as well.

What I find really interesting is how we judge people from different cultures who basically do the same thing. Think about Greenlandic narwhal hunters, they're generally considered quite differently to Faroese pilot whale hunters, or indeed, this old boy who was sailing south to hunt humpbacks, sperm and blue whales in the 1950s 60s...

Okay, front of the rack. Gonna need a 2U vented plate for the front but the shelves should work for the Minisforum MS-A2 nodes. Also should be enough room below that shelf for the bricks.

Moved the switch power cables to the outside of the rack and used the red "loops" to route the cable down to the PDU. I should have enough space in the basement for the Proxmox node power bricks.
