Happy Sunday, #bsdcafe Happy Sunday, #illumoscafe Happy Sunday, #fediverse I'm dismantling a small Kubernetes cluster and converting everything into FreeBSD jails. From 3 VMs to 1 smaller one, better performance, easier maintenance. Do we really need a truck to carry a single pizza? #runbsd […]

I guess the 7“ #GPD #MicroPC2 which is only a little bit larger than a phone very likely is the smallest fully functional #FreeBSD device. WIFI is working out of the box, graphics and touch screen as well. Built-in audio not yet, have to see what needs to be […] [Original post on mastodon.africa]

Happy birthday to Cliff Shiko from Obama 😂

I was very happy with how this talk on web resources for #plants #biotechnology came together. If you are new to the field of agricultural and other plant genomes and proteomes, this one is for you! #bioinformatics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmcZOUw2FJQ

Happy Workers' Day, South Africa! :-) #workersday #southafrica

The more I get into #homeassistant the more impressed I am. A bit of a learning curve for some of the more detailed stuff, but once you get going, seriously impressive. Nice work @homeassistant

Happy birthday 01 MAY Taurus baby 💥🎉

I was trying the #Jolla #JollaC2 as a daily driver some time ago but unfortunately for me it wasn't really fit for the job: Too slow and the custom software stack with nearly no apps being available simply did not work. The #Furilabs (@furilabs#jolla#jollac2#furilabs#debian and #phosh based phone really might cut […]

I had an experience the other day that led me down a little bit of a rabbithole.... basically let me ask.... Have you ever got a response to a thoughtful email and think: "Wait, did <insert name here> even read this message and think about it, or did they just run it through ChatGPT and hit […]

#kittens definitely helping

Why has GC-MS (gas chromatography- electron impact ioniation- mass spectrometry) had such enduring value for the field of metabolomics? How do we identify metabolites based on mass spectrometry data? I hope you'll enjoy this video explaining the basics of GC-MS and the spectral library methods […]

Why would we choose to measure just a few metabolites instead of doing a broad untargeted survey? In two words: "quantitative precision" This is the first lecture recording I have produced with my new home video setup! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYY31STDYHA #metabolomics

I tested my new apparatus for filming lectures at home. The electronics worked fine, but the kittens took filming as the perfect opportunity to swing from the curtains by their claws! *Canon HF G40 camcorder *LumeWorks Luna Pro Mini Beamer #academicchatter

I went to a friend's Pesach celebration last night. Second time. Either I failed the first time and they are giv8ng me another chance or I passed first time and am a cool guy. As a non-religious person I find the whole ritual fascinating. Not in a bad way. They are super friendly and kind and I […]

At church on Sunday, during intercessory prayers, our minister prayed for "men, women, and others." I've had ministers before who've prayed for "all people everywhere" or similar, so as to not have to deal with other genders, but this is the first time I've had a minister who's publicly […]
