  @brouhaha@mastodon.social @anttipeltola@mastodon.world well yes, but the proximate cause for the KOSPI madness is the 60x leveraged gambling going on, not the movement of the RAM stocks

  My OLED TV is feeling a tad too organic tonight. The top edge started drooping like this (along the whole top, this is just a closeup) after the TV wasn’t used in a couple of weeks. Watching a couple of hours of TV fixed it up. It needed a content top-up?

  Again, apologies, Finnish only, but maybe this isn't completely inscrutable. Mind commenting on my bufferbloat visualization? Especially interested in whether it makes sense if you haven't heard about bufferbloat before. https://uusinetti.fi/tekniikka

  One of the things I’m proud of at https://uusinetti.fi is that it’s a commercial consumer service that has zero trackers. Not something most people will notice, of course, but *I'll* know

  So one thing I'm building into the ISP is WireGuard access to your own virtual router we host. Should be a pretty good solution to the “safe surfing on public wifi” and “streaming outside the home without Netflix throwing a hissy fit" use cases, but obviously won't provide anonymity.

  FT: “Forties Blend, a North Sea grade, soared close to $149 a barrel on Monday, above the highs reached on the eve of the 2008 financial crisis, according to LSEG data. This is an uncommonly large premium over the price of Brent crude futures, which are trading at about $100 a barrel, and reflects refiners’ desperation to secure supplies." Can't say I understand how commodity futures work but if they're this detached from the ground truth I would imagine defaults are in...

  Pretty wild investigative reporting from FT here (paywall). Iran paid a Chinese company $36M for in-orbit delivery of a new spy sat and the use of the Chinese ground station network (so they can operate it even though the in-country ground stations have largely been destroyed). FT analyzed public US Space Force tracking data of the satellite to determine that it was in the right place at the right time to image the U.S. bases that got hit shortly after each pass. https://www.ft.com/content/1f...

  At the destination after the first trial run of my new (to me) boat. In other words… …I’M THE CAPTAIN NOW

• View post

  The boat has a fancypants 1.2 MHz sonar with 3D visuals and stuff, that sounded cool until I read the small print that it uses a KILOWATT of power

  Round trip completed! Boat seems fine except for a battery on its last legs (12.1V after left overnight) and one screw missing on the control panel, causing it to resonate with certain engine rpms.

  I integrated an unbound instance as the DNS resolver of my homegrown CGNAT gateway yesterday. Hooked it up to the main (userland) routing process with a pair of veth devices so that all of the DNS-related networking went out the same path as the rest of the customer IP traffic and never touched the host network stack. This worked great, except… only with some authoritative servers! The root servers worked fine, as did .com TLD, example.com resolved great… but things like google.com didn’t.

  First proper end-to-end tests of my artisanal CGNAT router done. Did not _expect_ to nail it on the first try but it's hard to avoid the success when I’m this awesome

  Slightly miffed about how Minisforum decided to spend their PCIe lanes on the N5 Pro. It has two USB4 ports *and* an Oculink port *and* a PCIe 4.0 x4 slot. So that's where all the lanes went. It also has three M.2 slots. Two of those are x1 and one is x2. Maybe I'm a unique snowflake but NVMes are what I would've used the lanes on.

  One of the things you learn when working on your own routing stack is how resilient TCP/IP really is. Your code can be just completely fucked and things still mostly work.

  Interesting to see what comes of Taalas. It seems like a completely realistic path to 1000x efficiency in LLMs. I've argued before that the AI boom requires a specific goldilocks level of efficiency improvement to avoid a crash: too small and AI firms can't break even, too big and the bottom falls off of datacenter investments. In that framing, 1000x might be too good? Nvidia hitmen will finish them off?
