@thiegui@twtxt.net Happy to help answer any questions you have 🤗

Amazingly (haven’t worked on it in a while) GoNix still builds and runs (on QEMU), even on my new Mac Studio M1 😅 Nice!

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no I just purchased one of these ones instead just now 😅

NanoPi NEO3 LTS

Let’s see if it arrives at a reasonable timeframe 🤣 Cost me $110 AUD so not too bad, nice and compact.

@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club Ahh I upvoted it! 😅 Looks like it’s #4 now, let’s keep it up there 🤣

Based on some experimentation of the “Shipping Estimator” on the site, looks like they charge $70/kg for shipping. I’d better get two of ‘em then 🤣

NanoPi R2S – Thinking about getting a NanoPi R2S to play with, but if you try to get just one (which presumably ships from China) its estimated to cost about $70 in shipping to Australia 😱 That’s 2x the cost of the product just in shipping alone?! wtf?! 🤦‍♂️

James Mills - vDSL2 sucks NBN sucks Copper sucks

@thiegui@twtxt.net Welcome to my pod (twtxt.net) 🤗 How are you going? New to Twtxt? 🤔

@thiegui@twtxt.net Someone on my pod (twtxt.net) follow that feed, so that’s why.

Milk-V This is pretty cool! 👌 RISC-V is coming along nicely 🤞

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no One day I gotta get you to run GoNix 🤣

@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 😅

I asked Chat GPT to build a To-Do app  | Bits and Pieces Few months old now, but very relevant, I won’t spoil the answer for you 😅

Been thinking this too 👌

Backblaze B2 currently – 2nd NAS in future

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

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

@mckinley 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.
