Lagging a bit behind with #Isola2026 postings, but here’s Cristina Seceleanu from Mälardalen giving her keynote on the Digital Twin Engineering-track. Impressive industry collaborations!

How's your Friday going? In addition to that, add an incongruous “cannot use your eID” after I’ve finally found my PUK & PIN again for the #nPA. The screenshot is from the EU account portal when trying the Yubi-key.

Last time I’m tooting such a spike, promise! The router lives to fight another day (mostly for Antifa, I’d hope) . Would be a fun student-project mathing out the relation because these kernel/networking memory chunks and a given Tor configuration. #Tor #FreeBSD

Did have the #Tor node switched off while we were away since it still sometimes crashes the #FreeBSD network stack. But now we’re back in business and it’s going brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr after integrating into the network.

Plastic spring-clips for a 30-year old amp are apparently a bit too much to ask for. Toothpicks it is, then. Also the short digital audio fiber keeps everything on a short leash.

Madness…Apparently electricity is for free (it’s not) in Sicily: it’s 43C, and 80% of the shops keep blasting their AC out the open front doors. The French model (750 EUR fine) would do some good here.
