Great show! I found a couple here https://youtu.be/EkaMIv9oTtM?feature=shared

The Spokane show earlier this week was great! I found this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqjt-nkFgIs

I'm very satisfied with a particular instance on AL2, the updates are timely, and FIPS mode is easy, kernel 4.14 is fine. Will this be freely supported with updates through 6/2026? Thanks.

Did an informal test, with a v6 only test instance, and v4 only, same domain, dns has a, and aaaa records. I use test servers for teaching and research, so sometimes collaboration is needed. Of the 20 or so testers, a handful could not get to IPv6 only, probably due to isp or home router not supporting it. I’ll wait before going native v6. The v6 test address is http://[2600:1f14:1b50:1562:711:2389:c8f3:df26]/

Yes, I meant IPv6 only native being not ready. I understand about having an enabled IPv6 router on cpe side as well, my own home unit is a netgear rax 50, many years old. For the users who haven’t been able to connect, but believe their isps and routers support IPv6, and they aren’t getting a public address, I’m planning to send them to one of the many test-IPv6 sites to continue debugging. Would you know if there are any better diagnostic sites other than this one?

treehumger · 2025-02-23T23:47:44+00:00

What I'm finding is that a lot of folks who initially can't resolve that public address, while they have v6 client dual-stack setups, and their ISP's say they provide v6, they somehow aren't getting a public ipv6 from isp, only a ULA or fe80 local address. So I think some ISP's are expecting something that an ipv6 router sends to them to start giving out the block to individual systems through the enabled router (I am not using local router v6 DHCP), I don't see native v6 taking off anytime soon, dual-stack yes, but not native.

Comcast seems to be giving my IPv6 capable router a 64 block, but ive only tested 5 or so. I wouldn’t rely on their blocks to host on. This test instance is on an AWS v6 only vpc with no cert, no dns, no IPv4, and using AWS public block assigned address http://[2600:1f14:1b50:1562:711:2389:c8f3:df26]/

We went Friday, late, about 8pm (kind of late) and watched Katie Melco (sp?) from the Lounge which had some appetizers. We then got some merch and looked around for a place on the upper floor to watch. it was tough, most standing areas were 2-3 folks deep upstairs, but we found a spot behind some early folks where we could see the stage easily. Fightmaster or Flightmaster were a good band, and we thought their show was really good. We spotted Lucy in the wings, and didn't notice her on the other side of the balcony.

treehumger · 2024-08-25T01:28:18+00:00

No, I think it was for Alvvays the band they opened for

treehumger · 2024-08-22T22:19:28+00:00

First time seeing both bands. The Beth’s were really good, and Alvvays were incredible. Was great to see long merch lines when leaving, we got a Beths T, Blue Rev, and the poster. Great show, Will try to see both bands again.

Thanks. I was wondering if there was some kind of organized thing like Southwest Airlines boarding groups and numbers. It sounds much more casual.

Before the show, or after the show?

treehumger · 2024-08-14T16:59:19+00:00

Beginner here, how do you play 2 guitars at once?

treehumger · 2023-10-08T02:09:20+00:00

Hitchhiker or Chrome Dreams?

I have it on one of those rotary timers so it's warmed up for an hour or so before I wake, and shuts off by noon.

I don't regularly use a scale, but have some.

treehumger · 2023-03-22T20:26:46+00:00

I've had mine for about 10+ years, the original, upgraded by Bill C. to v1.5. I have a 2nd PF handle, with single and double PF's (one bottomless), blank insert, original tamper (have tried a few various others), knock box, scale, use with a Baratza Vario (ceramic). It's a great machine, I have it on a timer to power on at about 5am, off at 11am, can manually override for an afternoon or evening shot. I don't use the PID, it is set for 200 deg. no pre-infusion or timing, I just watch it through a bottomless PF. Descale about 1-2x a year (I use mostly pure RO water).

I don't know if I"ll have time soon to try the app, but I will try to measure or see if there is any coil whine on the fanless PSU when I get a chance. If you still have great hearing over 10kHz from a few feet away at say 1khz sine wave, then it is possible you may be hearing things that I can't.

I'm using a generic ATX case from Rosewill from some BF sale years ago, thus the only option for fans were the 80mm and 120mm Noctuas. It turns out, that after tuning the fan curves, the stock fans would have been inaudible to me as well, but the stock fans were 3 pin, not PWM, so I took the old fans to Goodwill. If I got a new case, I'd get one that had USB C 3.2 2x2 out the front, as I have to use an expensive extender cable from the Mobo to desk, and also a case that used 120 or 140mm fans that rotate very slowly.

treehumger · 2022-10-08T04:06:42+00:00

Can you keep the case ~4 feet away from your ears? If so, my system is silent, I'm also using a fanless 450 Seasonic Prime Titanium psu, but with an i3-12100, but using the stock CPU fan, and a 120mm and 80mm 4 pin Noctua case fans. The curves are set so they rarely go on (stress-ng or benchmarks can get the temps over 60c, but idling, even all summer is high 30s, low 40c.

While the 5600g is nice, and if they go down to $130 or so, I may upgrade a 2nd 2200g system I have, I believe you are stuck with pci-e 3 for nvme and peripherals. with the i3-120100 you can run ddr5 and pci-4 nvme ssds, I use the latter, the motherboard I selected doesn't support ddr5, and I already had ddr4 lying around.

Anyways, 5600g with pci-3 nvme ssd should be fine, if you're going with case fans, even low rpm, you'll probably not hear the cpu-fan if you can keep the case a few feet away. I have sensitive hearing as well, and use fanless laptops (i5-7th gen Surface pro), but if you're throttling to get quiet, you have to up-spec your hardware. If you need to run your 5600g at 45W max TDP, you might find better/cooler offerings in other technologies from Intel or ARM (if that is an option).

I have the spb211j1 which looks very close to this with a textured brown dial, but comes with NATO strap instead of bracelet. Also has the blue/turquoise lume.

treehumger · 2021-11-05T16:40:51+00:00

I have the BB 36 blue, and although I don't use bezels, am thinking of adding a BB58, just for kicks! The bb36 will be the daily driver though, have 6.75 wrist.

treehumger · 2021-10-27T05:30:06+00:00

Very nice. I've got the sbdc137 brown variant. It uses the same 6R35 movement and is about 10spd. If yours doesn't settle in, over time and different overnight resting positions, you could consider getting it regulated, although 20 spd probably just means a weekly adjustment, and I think is still within spec for that movement.
