Photos from last night in Carlisle, MA. Nice reds framed by trees. #aurora @wx1box

@wx1box In Carlisle, MA at 0900: 1.38" rain in the gauge. Spotter #15-557.

Trying to vibe code a wideband morse decoder. It *sort of* works with nice clean signals. But with real recordings, it is unusable. The idea is to feed output from ka9q-radio (by @ka9q.bsky.social) into it and decode all CW traffic! Thoughts appreciated. github.com/pjsg/cw

@wx1box In Carlisle, MA at 0700: 1.20" total rainfall -- much needed. #15-557

Trying Google's Gemini image tool to colorize old pictures: Starting with the black and white image, and then two different colorization attempts. It is notable that it omitted the person in one case, also the steam blowing downards in both. Original was probably shot on orthochromatic film.

I'm actually pretty impressed -- I just installed a couple of Ubiquiti NanoStation 5AC units to connect the house to the barn. I was using a couple of their APs in a mesh, but it wouldn't stay connected once leaves appeared on the trees! Now it appears that I get a stable 100Mbps connection!

Some horrible internet connectivity problems right now. It appears that Comcast as lost some peering -- but I think it goes deeper than that. Paypal.com is not reachable from some places.

Just spent many hours debugging my #Unifi network. Symptom: high packet loss/vary variable latency. Running `top` on the AP showed 0% idle and very high sirq (??). This was due to a lot of multicast traffic on the wired side. U6 LR not affected -- I guess it does multicast filtering in hardware!

The Washington Post refused to run this ad. Sure would be a shame if it went viral.

Just been told that I'm too old to sit in an airplane exit row! Apparently you have to be between 15 and 60 for this airline. The online check-in assigned me this seat ☹️

I got a an MR merged in #Wireshark so that it now decodes the IPFIX packets sent to #PSKReporter correctly -- the issue had been bugging me for years, and I should have done the MR much sooner as it turned out to be a trivial fix! Thanks to the maintainers...

I have a branch of the nodemcu-firmware that supports the esp32c5 (the one with 5.8GHz wifi support). Basic functionality works: github.com/nodemcu/node... #esp32 #espressif

Sitting in my car, waiting for my daughter at a bus station, and a pizza delivery guy shows up with 26 large pizzas for a bunch of kids also waiting. Teenagers be very hungry!!

This is a good an important piece but let's not overlook the bit where retired French railway workers are casually running a Batcave for train nerds
