Uhm… and kids, please don't just stick wires into a power supply and especially not into a socket-outlet unless you know what you are doing. I hope I don't really need to mention this!

It doesn’t get much hackier today. Running #Python performance benchmarks on a #RaspberryPi and I still don’t have a proper cooling. So I grabbed an old fan and attached it to a 12V power supply from an old router.

Every wondered how broken RAM looks like? You are welcome!
#basementrack

This is Oscar. Oscar is a #ThinkPad t410 and part of my #basementrack setup. I’m mainly using it for SSH connections and to search for stuff on the internet. So no heavy workloads. Sadly Oscar became painfully slow with the latest releases, so I decided to replace the HDD with an SSD. Boy is that thing fast now. 🚀
And the best part: Replacing the HDD couldn't be simpler. There should be more laptops like the ThinkPad t series!

Here we go. Now all of the trees in the forest can fall on my landline. I’ve got a backup! 😂

Did you know that our brains got smaller and it’s not perfectly clear why? 😱

I need a backup for DSL connection, so I was looking to outdoor LTE modems and found this ALFA Networks Tube-U4Gv2-E.

The good news: It's working out of the box with #Linux.

The bad news: My #Fritzbox is not recognizing it. It says it's an unknown device. Anybody with an advice?

This is the energy consumption of one of my rack servers while spinning up and down some virtual machines while performing some tasks. As you can see, the difference is not that big. So having a big machine for only a single purpose that isn't leveraging the whole machine is pure waste.

Oh and check out Yomi: https://github.com/openSUSE/yomi

Yomi aims to be similar to Autoyast, but with Salt and state files. So while applying the highstate to your machine, you are actually installing an operating system on it.

Want to see me uhm and ehm in my first ever video interview, forgetting about grammar and tenses… oh, and also talking about SUSE Manager, its (not so new) upstream project Uyuni, Salt, and YOMI? 😅

I've been hacking on something nice during the #SUSE #Hackweek: Filtra aims to extract information like lead and cycle times from Github repos for (but not limited to) projects that are doing #Kanban. PRs are very welcome!
