  The latest generation of Semtech LoRa IP looks fun

  From the "how could this ever work" department, TIL: OpenSSL also uses the supplied CA pool for completing client chains if necessary (and many tools don't really allow you to distinguish between the two, so you end up having to put in client intermediates into the pool that is used to verify server certs. Not much of a problem if your PKI is sane, but still unelegant)

  As someone who has involuntarily descended into the timescales mines, I want to thank the author of https://blog.dave.tf/post/tai64-is-not-tai/ for assuring me that I haven't gone insane.

  Whenever I'm trying to use something like redshift it always feels like https://doomwiki.org/wiki/Berserk which is somewhat antithetical to its intended function of improving my sleep.

  It seems the traffic lights in Cologne use some other system, since the one near my home definitely is supposed to provide MAPEM data

  Seriously though, this is the first thing that ticks all the boxes I've been looking for for a project: - TrustZone support - Openly documented secure boot - eMMC for RPMB - Available and ~affordable (90 EUR)

  The devboard has an annoying current spike during startup which causes it to boot loop when attached to the USB ports of my laptop, so I can't go war-bicycling :(

  Currently using an iOS device again until a new Android phone arrives tomorrow and it’s amazing how cleanly this seems to split the population. iOS is absolutely *infuriating* to use for me to the point that I’m cursing out loud all the time. It’s exactly the same with Android for some of my friends.

  Any recommendations for (outdoor) security cameras with night vision that I can just firewall off into a VLAN with no internet access or even better have FOSS aftermarket firmware? Everything I can find that ticks the latter mark in particular is unobtainium in Germany apparently

  Shower thought: Since the radius of of geostationary orbit goes up by the third root of planetary mass and planetary mass goes up by the third power of radius, the ratio between the radius of a planet and its GEO is actually constant for different planets of equal sidereal day length and average density

  This Quectel GNSS receiver booted up reporting 31°18'22.7"N 120°31'30.7"E as the location. I wonder if this is where the EOL test happened or if it's some random default somebody set. (Or the middle ground: The random position somebody put into their test signal generator)

  I hate this trend where login forms send you an email as the only factor.

  I am once again annoyed that general purpose microcontrollers like the STM32C071 are superior in all regards to specialized USB bridges like the FT230XS (especially once you need even a tiny bit of additional glue logic on your board anyway), but there is no off-the-shelf firmware so you need to write (and flash) your own
