  @spacehobo@teh.entar.net @ariadne@social.treehouse.systems doing this with a cluster of Pis makes business sense to run if people pay for the gimmick because at least the hardware is uniform and fungible. babysitting a huge cluster of disparate electronics that you don't fully understand and which is already reaching its end of life (if not past it) is a challenge only a complete masochist would appreciate

  @CyReVolt@mastodon.social @a@pdx.social @azonenberg@ioc.exchange you can make some good educated guesses by examining layout and schematics if you probe and draw the schematics for the passives near the connector i could take a look

  normal things i've done today: figured out how to make .msi files generate in a reproducible manner (so that anybody can verify that the ChiPass installers we provide for download are actually built from the sources we provide also)

  observation: having ready access to useful stimulants (let's say for the sake of this example they're caffeine pills) makes me way more likely to go to bed at a reasonable time, because i know waking up won't be as hellish

  despite the ongoing work on #GlasgowInterfaceExplorer revD, we haven't forgotten our loyal revC users: I've just added a prototype for a RAM expansion board for revC that 1bitSquared has designed a few years ago it does pass the memory test, although the memory bandwidth is, at the moment, less than 2/3 of what's available with the faster revD FPGA https://github.com/GlasgowEmbedded/glasgow/pull/1268

  ever wondered how USB devices negotiate Power Delivery (PD) with each other? ordinarily, you'd need a specialized USB PD analyzer. the upcoming #GlasgowInterfaceExplorer revD has I/O drivers that natively support USB PD voltage levels, enabling you to directly observe USB PD communication! for example, this power supply has five fixed profiles and PPS
