Had my talk on Small Web accepted at #why2025 but I hadn’t realised (my bad) that not only do you have to cover your own travel and accommodation but you also have to buy a ticket to speak. I’m sorry, as part of a tiny two-person not-for-profit working for the common good, I can’t afford to pay to speak at events. I’m not Deloitte. So I sadly had to withdraw my talk.
If any conferences do w…

Ultra-High-Temperature Vacuum Prober for Electrical and Thermal Measurements
We develop an ultra-high-temperature vacuum probe station (UHT-VPS) featuring a sample holder heated by thermal radiation from a silicon carbide heater. This contactless configuration electrically isolates the sample from the high-power heating source through a vacuum gap, ensuring reliable measurements under extreme conditions. The capability of this UHT-VPS to measure electrical signals from 30 nV upward on bulk sapphire is demonstrated using the 3w/2w method. Measurements are continuously op…

Since at least 2009, I've had 4-5 git repositories online with gitweb.cgi for projects I worked on in the mid/late 2000s. Nothing super important, and no activity since 2010 or so, but just sitting there available.
I just had to kill the web server because facebook's web crawlers are hitting the webserver so hard and overloading the cheap VPS that it's on (which I'm using for other things). It has literally been no bother for 15 years until now.
Meta truly is a …

What I am craving for concerning the #fediverse :
Being able to #selfhost on a VPS with a "simple" script the major fediverse applications as docker containers, e.g.

Ich überleg, eine eigene #ActivityPub-Instanz für mich zu erstellen.
Aktuell schau ich mir als Server #GoToSocial und #Snac2 an. Mal schauen, was ich auf meinem kleinen VPS gut zum Laufen bekomme.

I just ordered Gullo's hosting nat vps. It was $3.50/year. https://hosting.gullo.me

What I did was run this script to convert it into alpine linux …

Scalable Software Testing in Fast Virtual Platforms: Leveraging SystemC, QEMU and Containerization
The ever-increasing complexity of HW/SW systems presents a persistent challenge, particularly in safety-critical domains like automotive, where extensive testing is imperative. However, the availability of hardware often lags behind, hindering early-stage software development. To address this, Virtual Platforms (VPs) based on the SystemC TLM-2.0 standard have emerged as a pivotal solution, enabling pre-silicon execution and testing of unmodified target software. In this study, we propose an app…
