I think I first came to San Francisco like 10 years ago almost exactly to now, the one thing that has not changed over time are the tech product billboards.

it's weird because I am used to seeing these as banner ads or whatever, but nope, here they are on the side of the road just chilling

Mods are asleep, post cursed motherboards

3 different motherboards, 1 has lots of USB 3 "PCIE" extenders instead of PCIe slots, one is a huge (bigger than E-ATX) board with lots SATA connectors facing upwards, the other is the back of a industrial board with 15+ USB3 ports

hmph, Long time since I've seen a kettle with a "kettle lead" (C13/C15) connector

the back of a kettle, showing the "female" end of a C13 connector, my hand holding a C13 cable

It's entirely possible there may be too many WiFi access points inside the datahall of HE FMT2

I went to the Bay Model!

Super cool seeing it in person after looking at many images of it

Images of various placeholder signs sticking out of the models land or water saying "yolo bypass", "golden gate bride", "bay bridge" and "berkley"

It's impressive seeing what 8~ years of CPU progress does even on the low end of CPU SKUs

I've finished (for now) upgrades of the bgp.tools IXP remote infra and the last box went from a Atom C2550 to Celeron J6412, same core count, 4W less of TDP and the CPU time on the same workload has dropped in half!

A rrdtool graph for CPU time, there is a blip in the middle where the load looks like it has been reduced in half, due to a machine swap

May all of the PDFs you need to diff be well formatted.

Because doing pdf-diff on the one I have today is like scraping molten plastic off a frying pan

TIL of Fedi StreetPass https://streetpass.social/ (I'm probs late to the party)

Basically if the page you browse has a rel=me html tag on it, it will see if there is a fedi profile behind it, and let you know (with history!) what "hits" you have had, super nice!

(I also patched my cursed blog+fedi stuff to actually make it work)

Call error 7: App Engine APIs are not enabled, please add app_engine_apis: true to your app.yaml to enable.

Ah, thanks Google App Engine, thanks for spending 10 mins "Updating service" and then migrating all traffic to a version that instantly failed all requests 👍
