@JoshFG @NJ_Timothy Ah, the deafening sound of the right and far right being silenced — as may be frequently heard via many media outlets — shall reverberate until the heat death of the universe.

@NJ_Timothy You’re not being silenced you’re being criticised. If you were being silenced you wouldn’t have been able to write a telegraph column about being silenced!
English
I will not be silenced.
Labour are only demonstrating that they cannot see right from wrong.
They will not stand up for our way of life.
But we will.

Too many are too polite to say this. But mass ritual prayer in public places is an act of domination. The adhan - which declares there is no god but allah and Muhammad is his messenger - is, when called in a public place, a declaration of domination. Perform these rituals in mosques if you wish. But they are not welcome in our public places and shared institutions. And given their explicit repudiation of Christianity they certainly do not belong in our churches and cathedrals. I am not suggesting everybody at Trafalgar Square last night is an Islamist. But the domination of public places is straight from the Islamist playbook. Trafalgar Square belongs to all of us. It is a national memorial to our independence and our salvation. Last night was not like a televised football match or a St Patrick’s Day celebration. It was an act of domination and therefore division. It shouldn’t happen again.

@MehdiHacks And it still uses those horrible cheap mic connectors! I'd want Lemos at that price.

Figures state Doom Bar is the nation’s best selling cask ale! I have always found that amazing. Agreed? 🙄

@travisgoodspeed I love how they illustrated the point with a photo of a luggable that has an orange CRT instead of a plasma display.
English
I've been wondering about this since the second grade.
Retro Coast@RetroCoast
In the #1980s many portable computers had orange screens. This resulted from a gas plasma technology that was lighter weight than home computer screens.
English
@treb0r Afraid so. It's pure weapons grade rubbish. We'll just have to agree to disagree.

How long until the world wakes up to Malcolm Bendall and the thunderstorm generator? Cognitive dissonance all round.

But finally we have Lime working on that solution.
Please be under 250 usd
English
hopefully skipping FPGA will lower the cost, I like my LimeSDR mini but the v2.0 cost is just crazy
Mehdi@MehdiHacks
New SDR coming soon! "LimeSDR Micro" is offered in 2 form factors: mPCIe and M2. It has more than 100MHz bandwidth. I got a sample board to test and review. Will share the results here. They will soon launch a campaign on CrowdSupply.
English
@MC_chibill @uhf_satcom @MehdiHacks A completely new documentation platform should launch in the coming weeks.
The reference platform is Linux, while Windows support is generally bundled with third party apps. Though there is now a Conda environment provided for Lime Suite NG and use with GNU Radio etc.
English
@9600 @uhf_satcom @MehdiHacks Would have been nice if they updated their shit to actually make us aware it exists, all their Mini pages point towards the old as hell Suite that wants you to install an out date pathos or something. Plus annoying have to build the windows stuff from source for that.
English
LimeSDR Micro uses an interesting chipset: NXP LA9310 is a programmable baseband processor, that includes many things like a Cortex M4 microcontroller, and a PCIe controller.
It sits between the RF part and the PC.
It does what usually a FPGA does in such SDRs.

@MC_chibill @uhf_satcom @MehdiHacks Classic Lime Suite doesn't receive so many updates, but Lime Suite NG does and supports Mini v1. Not to mention that it's also supported by the new LiteX-based gateware, which makes it easier to integrate custom h/w acceleration etc.

@uhf_satcom @MehdiHacks Plus it sort of seems like they stopped actively supporting the Mini, since all the drivers and software for it are years old.

@rossiadam Worked with and had Sun training for E10K in 1999. We had one of the very first machines. It was a beast! Split into two (domains?) running Sun clustering and Oracle HA, for the boo.com e-commerce backend. Pretty sure they scaled to 64x CPUs.
English
In 2004 the Sun Fire E25k was the apex predator of computing. This was the largest single-image Unix machine that money could buy ($2M fully loaded).
This bad boy had:
• 36 UltraSPARC IV processors (72 cores)
• 576 GB RAM
• 18 fully hot swappable CPU/memory boards
• gigabit ethernet and fibre channel HBAs
• Redundant power supplies, cooling zones, draw 15kW of power
I deployed software to these things. Uptime was measured in years. This was THE ONE.
Man I miss Sun.

@memorialdevice The Smokebelch version dedicated to the memory of Ali Cooke is something else — and AFAICT never appeared anywhere else either.
English
Thanks to JLCPCB, sourcing a copper core PCB is actually cheaper and faster in low quantity than a plain copper sheet metal with a solderable surface finish😄
English
@GregNotSure @i2cjak "Closed"? All LimeSDR boards are full open source hardware designs (PCB project and manufacturing files), open source FPGA gateware, open source MCU firmware, and open source host driver stack.

PF was written 𝑓𝑜𝑟 OpenBSD, I recall writing PF rule sets for OpenBSD-based firewalls >20 years ago, and it was ported to other operating systems later.

No ZFS No Linux ABI Compatibility No advanced networking capabilities (like pf) No NVIDIA Graphics If you REALLY REALLY want BSD, pick FreeBSD. Netflix did so because they had really picky issues with Linux that they couldn't mitigate, especially regarding transferring Video There's no "Actual Software" for OpenBSD. You can bode well with FreeBSD, but holy fucking shit. You're shooting yourself in the foot by using OpenBSD for anything serious.

@9600 A new series of “It’s That Man Again” as well, in reaction to his continued appearances in the news.
English
The BBC should respond by collaborating with South Park to replace him in all future coverage with their cartoon likeness.
I reckon I've got that Director General job in the bag.
