Installing OS X server on it and going to try to get some vintage networking stuff going.
It took so long because I've been way too busy with school this semester.

(And I had issues with the original power supply so decided to buy a replacement, and I had to buy blank CDs because I left all my old ones at my parents place, and of course I needed a drive to boot it from)

Will probably give it all a write up on my blog once I get everything the way I want it

I hung out with a bunch of gay/trans nerds in high school. I knew a couple people, including the valedictorian who deliberately wore blue as a quiet protest.

And I knew a trans women who didn't go to graduation.

But even in my gay nerd friend group it was not a major topic of conversation or something that I really gave the thought that it deserves.

I don't understand why my friends and I didn't do anything more than support the few people who quietly defied it.

Thinking about graduation (finishing my bachelor's degree this semester and going to buy my cap and gown today) and I just realized how deeply weird it was that my highschool made girls wear white and boys wear blue for graduation.

Not only was it weird to divide up the gender binary with separate dress but it was extra weird that the women specifically wore white, which of course invokes imagery of wedding gowns.

Is this a normal thing?

Some quotes from the professors during the first two week of my advanced analog circuit design class:

"You can think of a switch like pregnancy, it's either on or off" - Larry

"There's a god some place because he or she invented sine-waves which are very nice for us to work with" - Larry

"this is hopefully the last time I see you all in this life" -Larry

"You can think of an op-amp like a person, it is extremely unhappy, it is angry, it is railed... that's how we talk" -Matt

Uspol, my one post on the topic

I have for years now been trying to limit my exposure to US electoral politics, particularly on social media. There was a brief point in my life where John Oliver, and Stephen Colbert, and the NYT and the Guardian regularly came across my feeds and I would engage, but now my political philosophy is well formed. I know I am never supporting a Republican; I will research relevant candidates in local races and primaries, but I know what I stand for and I do not need the annihilation that American politics has devolved into to be delivered directly over the air into my eyeballs at the speed of light.

Knowing horrible things about horrible people will not make my vote magically count more, nor will it help me better support my friends who are also struggling to get through these dark times.

All I can do is be the best person I can be. And have some faith, however naive, that if we stick to our values, and to our commitment to each other that we can still build a better future.

Computer literacy is so dead.
My 10th grade sister is fairly tech savvy among her peers, she likes editing cheesy compilation videos set to pop music in iMovie on a Mac and drawing in Procreate on an iPad, and in Photoshop on her laptop. She has used both Mac and Windows PCs.

And she didn't know how SD Cards work.

I have a couple of old UPSes, that I brought back from my parent's house, that I had installed Nermak LiFePo4 12V batteries in. They worked fine for short outages but my parents had a couple day outage a while ago and the UPSes never came back online after that. It seems like what happened was the Nermak batteries got depleted, so their BMS shut them off to prevent over discharge, but the UPSes refused to charge them or come back online because when they don't detect a battery voltage above a certain amount they assume that the battery has failed or is not installed and won't start.

Got the batteries charging back up on my bench supply for now and it seems like they will come back, but any idea how to prevent a failure like this happening in the future?

There we go

I will be hosting retro tech and computing meet at #FurTheMore on Saturday morning, will be bringing a few pieces of my somewhat eclectic collection, including a PowerBook 170, a Lytro Illum, a Google Project Tango dev kit tablet and probably a few other things that are easy to travel with.

If you will be at FurTheMore and have some interesting tech you can bring I would love to see it there!

My BF, Peake, will also be hosting a model railroading meet on Sunday morning.
