@movq@www.uninformativ.de Congrats 🥳

@adi@twtxt.net What’s first place?

And later on in the document on How vDSL works in Australia:

Prior to the deployment of VDSL2 technology for
FTTN, FTTB, and FTTC, the main DSL technology
employed in Australia was ADSL / ADSL2+ which
used signals up to 2 Megahertz (MHz). To achieve
much higher speeds than ADSL, VDSL2 expands
the DSL signal spectrum to up 17 MHz, which
happens to overlap with many Australian amateur
radio signal bands.

Interestingly if you dig around, you come across this article:

Mitigating Amateur Radio Interference
to VDSL2 published by NBN Co, which basically states:

Some of the frequencies used by amateur radio
operators coincide with frequencies used by
VDSL2 technology, used by nbn to deliver nbn™
Fibre to the Node (FTTN) services.

Meanwhile have asked my ISP to switch me back over to what NBN call a “Stability Profile” where the DSLAM uses DLM (Dynamic Line Management) to manage the channels and noise and tries its best to keep the signal up. So far this has resulted in a ~10-20Mbps drop in bandwidth (down from ~90Mbps) but so far 🤞 an increase in stability and decrease in latency (less noise? better channels?)

This has resulted in an availability of 99.8% for the Mills DC 😢 Not happy 🤬

Incurred ~16 dropouts over the last 48hrs with ~5m outage per dropout. So I finally cracked the shits and run up my ISP to figure wtf was going on. 🤔 Turns out after a quality test on the line it was showing ~5-6DB average SNR 😱 So filed a fault with the infrastructure provider (NBN Co) whose own equipment picked up the 16 dropouts and also found noise ½ way up the 450m Copper cable 😅

Been thinking this too 👌

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Haha too true 😆

Wow spammer are getting desperate when they try things like this 🤣

@mckinley@twtxt.net I liked restic because its portable and written in Go. It supports all the features I want/need, multiple storage backends/locations, snapshots, etc. I can easily verify data integrity as well. I haven’t tried to restore from backups fully (only partially). The tools is just very well written and very easy to automate and work with.

@xuu@txt.sour.is I’ve seen worse. Companies that sell customers “data security” and tell you they split the key into 3 parts. They tell you there’s no way they can ever see the full key because you have one third, they have the 2nd third and their trusted “3rd-party” has the other third (which they have access to for backup reasons).

🤦‍♂️ wtf 😳

@xuu Don’t they already? 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Haha 🤣

@rrraksamam@twtxt.net I don’t get it 🤦‍♂️

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Pretty sure it’s an ordinary garden variety bush turkey from around here (Australia) 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Thanks ! I’ll take a look 👌

I played with nlpodyssey/verbaflow: Neural Language Model for Go today a little bit today…. First I had to download a ~2GB file (the model), then convert that to a format the program verbaflow understands which came out to roughly ~5GB. Then I tried some of the samples in the README. My god, this this is so goddamn awfully slow its like watching paint dry 😱 All just to predict the next few tokens?! 😳 I had a look at the resource utilisation as well as it was trying to do this “work”, using 100% of 1.5 Cores and ~10GB of Memory 😳 Who da fuq actually thinks any of this large language model (LLM) and neural network crap is actually any good or useful? 🤔 Its just garbage 🤣

@mckinley@twtxt.net Sorry saw the Twt the first time, but sadly I don’t use Tor nor know how to use it in the first place 🤣

Check this out 😆

@darch@neotxt.dk What was the interesting key takeaway for you? 🤔

These are my thoughts currently (from IRC):

[10:40:20]  <prologic> Thinking about writing a do nothing framework in Go
[10:41:10]  <prologic> One in which consumers can define their procedure in their own repo
[10:42:07]  <prologic> And users can of the tool can execute any procedure that the binary has imported
[10:42:58]  <prologic> And eventually implement Run() to turn steps from manual ones to automated ones gradually
[14:51:34]  <xuu> Like for mocking against?
[14:51:43]  <xuu> Not sure I follow
[16:03:04]  <prologic> xuu basically for reducing the activation energy to complete otherwise manual procsses
[16:03:14]  <prologic> where you can gradually turn them into automated processes
[16:03:29]  <prologic> https://blog.danslimmon.com/2019/07/15/do-nothing-scripting-the-key-to-gradual-automation/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’m trying to build something like this at my work. Do you have a library of such procedures or are the scripts/binaires built for one proc at a time?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Ahh I see ! 😆 They seem darker than the sheep I know 🤔
