after being reminded I should enable kvm (oops) it all works really well. Can now set up Debian unstable, and experiment with a disk setup similar to my homeserver, to figure out how to mess with the RAID's etc

"Did you just lose 100m customer SSNs because your root password was "password", you set an S3 bucket to public or you didn't patch a well known vulnerability for 8 months? Is the media and government chewing you out because of it? Worry not! Our free excuse generator will help you develop an air-tight breach statement in no time!"

I still need to figure out how long this will take, switching around data and RAID setups, expect a maintenance window announcement soon(tm)

(I got the Debian one a while ago, it was made in the same way but by someone else)

btw I use Arch :P

Hackerspace got a new Vinylcutter, so I made these dual-color Arch stickers that turned out suuper well

if anyone would like to critique my very first PCB design:
silkscreen is a mess I'll fix later but all the components/copper should be done:

pixie.town got a donation for a new 500GB SSD :)
when it comes in terra hardware configuration will change from:

256GB ssd (rootfs)
2x 2TB hdd in RAID1 (postgres and media storage)

to
2x 256GB ssd RAID1 (rootfs, postgres)
media storage:
200GB ssd cache (remainder of the 500GB)
2TB hdd

this should definitely improve Matrix and Mastodon performance a lot

taking terra (synapse, mastodon) down for a bit while I debug a possible hardware failure

"So i just came out to my dad abt being #nb, and he said something really wise about names, i think.

He said “Gifts are not obligations. You give things to people, and you hope they like them. And your name was a gift from us to you. If it doesn’t work for you anymore, you’re not obligated to keep it.”

and i just thought maybe other people could use hearing something like that."

I'm now turning this into a pcb module, starting with the schematic.

so the bicycle parking where my second bike is has a maximum stay of 2 weeks (which they actually enforce, I had to pay to get my bike back once already). I don't visit there too often anymore though, so today I took the train there, moved my bike to a different spot, and got the train back, with 3 minutes in between trains :D

and here's the schematic, the TP4056 is a great simple chip. I used 2.2K ohm for Rprog, but with 1.2K it will charge the fastest (1A)

so tonight I did my first real SMD soldering, on a pretty challenging chip :D

I desoldered the TP4056 ic from a dead SHA2017 badge, then made everything work on the smd-protoboard of the eth0 badge.
Great fun learning to do tiny soldering, and getting used to working under a microscope

It charges a single-cell lipo, and gives the charging status over a wire, something the prebuilt modules can't (they connect it to an onboard led instead).

Next up will be adding a voltage divider to get a battery voltage reading, and throwing this all into kicad (also a first for me)
