rubatuga··on Cloudflare outage on December 5, 2025
Honestly a lot of these problems are because they don't test a staging environment, like isn't this software engineering basics?

I've recently shucked some Seagate HAMR 26Tb drives hopefully they last
rubatuga··on Everything you need to know about hard drive vibration (2016)
Bought some 26TB HAMR drives recently. It uses solid state lasers to heat up the drive before writing. I shucked them from some Seagate external drive enclosures so we'll see how long my data will last. They're so new there's no failure data on them
rubatuga··on Cloudflare outage on November 18, 2025 post mortem
I mean you still depend on authoritative dns servers no?
rubatuga··on Cloudflare Global Network experiencing issues
Only my 'www' is affected ie my blog. Other self hosted like jellyfin and vaultwarden work fine
rubatuga··on AMD continues to chip away at Intel's x86 market share
How did you get Bluetooth wake working?!
rubatuga··on TCP, the workhorse of the internet
What are some extensions? just curious.

And by your definition my home router is not a router since it does NAT? There's really no point in arguing semantics like this.
rubatuga··on A P2P Vision for QUIC (2024)
A good time to mention that the P2P Yggdrasil network uses QUIC/TLS selfsigned certs but then runs its own encryption over that. You can add as many peers as desired, and the network will automatically choose the best path (latency). So no multi-pathing but gets around the issue of changing IP addresses/network locations. Plus, it's able to do multicast to find peers in your LAN without having a centralized control server. I'm actually getting better speeds than WireGuard over my LAN - but this is a stable link. Once you start sending the yggdrasil packets over long unstable links you may start to get into funky issues like TCP in TCP head of line blocking, but they try to mitigate this by having huge MTU sizes and packet dropping algorithms.

I'm currently working on creating a managed Yggdrasil relay node service. A feature I hope they implement is QUIC multistream support.

rubatuga··on Nvidia DGX Spark: When benchmark numbers meet production reality
This right here, Jetson is abandoned - while Strix Halo is x86 and will run new Linux distributions for years (decades?)

No random writes is the nail in the coffin for me
rubatuga··on 60k kids have avoided peanut allergies due to 2015 advice, study finds
MHC (Major histocompatibility complex) plays a large role in this, essentially they are like hash functions for the peptides / proteins in your body. Cells then present these hashes on the outside of their membrane which then let them be either targeted for destruction or recognized as self.

Mistakes (or unfortunate genetics) in this process along with a mix of unknown environmental factors (smoking? EBV infection?) can affect how likely you are to develop autoimmune conditions where the body attacks itself. For example, people with the HLA-B27 "hash function" are much more likely to develop ankylosis spondylitis, but this gene may protect against viruses such as HIV or Hepatitis C. A lot of the research for the treatment of these autoimmune conditions now is on how to treat the condition without shutting down the entire immune system.

Well quite frankly 48V has lower losses than 12V
rubatuga··on Nvidia DGX Spark: great hardware, early days for the ecosystem
When the networking is 25GB/s and the memory bandwidth is 210GB/s you know something is seriously wrong.

I never understood the need to post about this. Just pay the $30 or just keep quiet so others can continue to browse for free.
rubatuga··on Why Self-Host?
I can testify Radicale works great on iOS devices:

rubatuga··on Why do we need MAC addresses?
We don't NEED it, just like we don't need to use IP. But the standards are just easy to use. Feel free to develop your own L2 protocol. I remember using SLIP to make a point to point over FM radio, and there was no addressing used, just IP.
rubatuga··on Why do we need MAC addresses?
Article is pretty spot on. We need MAC addresses for local area networking. Nothing is stopping you from using any physical layer outside of your home network. But of course everything client these days uses Ethernet based technology.
rubatuga··on Apple HomeKit – The Long Con
Interesting! Would you be able to share a guide?
rubatuga··on Apple HomeKit – The Long Con
I believe Apple is deprecating HomeKit v1, so no I wouldn't be able to use other iOS apps. Unless you're telling me I should setup home assistant and then control that from my phone, I agree it's an option, but has the added hassle of having yet another home hub, my current setup was nice since it was a direct connection from phone to device.

Holy crap is this real??
rubatuga··on AMD’s RDNA4 GPU architecture
Just checked my gaming PC - 5700xt + rx9060 and it's idling comfortably at 39W with a single 120hz 1080p display. Dual monitors will probably cause higher idling wattage.
rubatuga··on Windows 10 resists its end: usage share climbs while Windows 11's falls
I've been using Windows 11 LTSC for a few months with all telemetry disabled, it's a bit slower than Windows 10 but overall it is surprisingly usable. The UX changes are a disaster, however, and Explorer lags and Control Panel still exists.

rubatuga··on Why language models hallucinate
But we're getting into the limits of knowledge and what is true/untrue. A stochastic model will be wrong sometimes.

Great for bargaining and getting cash discounts. Have extra coins? Tips are appreciated.
