Unpacking Arrow Datasets – Notes from a data witch
A comment on how Datasets work in Apache Arrow. I’m not really sure who the audience for this one. Am I just talking to myself? Probably.

Während Nietzsche bis heute weltweite Bekanntheit genießt, ist Immertzsche¹ dem Vergessen anheimgefallen.
Eine negative Grundhaltung scheint anschlußfähiger.

Ok, just a smol rant... Every time theres a new job platform, it's pretty neccessary to upload a whole portfolio again. And once all the images, and text are uploaded, the tags need to be accurate so they appear in site-searches correctly.
Not only that, but it then needs to be maintained. So, any changes or new projects to add... need to be done on every platform.
Am I wrong in thinking this is so incredibly tedious? lol

I am planning on moving my shit away from Notion.
The whole "2nd Brain" thing does not work for me (it just gives me busywork instead of doing something useful) so what I am looking for
- self-hostable
- should have a web interface I can use from any machine without installation
-I need "tasks", "projects" that contain tasks and "notes" (ideally optionally connected to projects and/or tasks)
- boards for tasks
- mobile …

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.

My experience is limited to ASP.NET, SQL, and some Python at a Fortune 500 company, so take this with a grain of salt. When he talks about agents, it sounds like automation to me. I’ve been writing jobs (or agents) for decades to run automated tasks on a schedule. If you want to add another point of failure into your job, knock yourself out. Also, I’m wary of encouraging neophytes to outsource work they don’t know how to do. That’s a recipe for disaster.

Systematic NICER study of the low-ionized Fe K$α$ line on RS Canum Venaticorum type stars
The Fe K$α$ fluorescence line ($\sim 6.4$ keV) has been observed during solar and stellar flares. Two emission mechanisms of the Fe K$α$ line, photoionization and collisional ionization, have been discussed, and the aim of this work is to collect evidences for each mechanism employing a statistical correlation approach between the Fe K$α$ line flux and rough flare properties. Here, we systematically searched the NICER (0.2$-$12 keV) archive data for the Fe K$α$ line of RS Canum Venaticorum …

Found the specs sheet.
The front camera and ultrawide camera seem to be considerably worse.
The normal wide camera seems to be better, except it lost the electronic stabilisation (not sure how important that is tbh).
The battery is better, but it needs a screwdriver to be changed so no more switch during the day if you don’t have a screwdriver always on you. This comes with no added water resistance, which makes me wonder why they did this.
The display seems to be worse? The resolution is smaller which makes sense since the size is smaller, but also it seems to have less PPI than the Fairphone 5. The refresh rate is higher tho.
It has worse USB-C connectivity as well, the Fairphone 6 has just USB 2.0 (!!!!) compared to 3.0 on the Fairphone 5.
They also got rid of the sky blue color (which was the prettiest imo) and of the transparent option.
I don’t really understand Qualcomm processors, but at least the new GPU seems to have a better benchmark score?

Krótka historia laptopów służbowych mamusi:
1. VGA HDMI.
2. HDMI DP. Musiałem dokupić przewód DP.
3. DP VGA. Musiałem wyruszyć na questa, pokonać pajęczyny i odnaleźć przewód VGA. Okazało się, że nie działa…
Znaczy, przebicia są. Teraz się zastanawiam, czy przewód jest uszkodzony, czy po prostu ta technologia już się nie nadaje do użycia w dzisiejszym świecie.

Alright, got UPS monitoring and info via `nut` on the homelab network. The three Proxmox nodes are all net clients, and I took the fifth RPi4 that wasn't doing anything and tossed Raspbian on it to be the net server. After a bit of configuring: all of the servers are getting the information without issue.
As a bit of a note: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS _does not work_ on ARM64 because [insert reason here]. I think you can compile it yourself and it's fine, but the packages in the repos…
