2024/09/27

3 servers, a Mac Mini, and some old networking kit Lee talks about building a home lab consisting of several servers and some networking equipment. The home lab on Reddit: 3_servers_a_mac_mini_and_some_old_networking_kit Rack is limited to 30cm deep due to closet dimensions. All three server cases have been modded in one way or another (most drastic was the DVR, cut down from 40cm deep with an angle-grinder).

Link to the YouTube video I used that described the process of removing the two backup batteries in a Kenwood TS-940S. I mention the acronym PLL which stands for Phase Locked Loop. Here is a Wikipedia article about PLL. Picture 1 shows a top down view of the radio. The large black square section located at the front left of the picture contains the speaker left and control board right. With the top cover fitted the control board is accessible via s sliding cover. Both the speaker and control board

HPR4205: Trollercoasting almost getting a heart attack

Hacker Public Radio ·

2024/09/13

Trollercoaster reacts to the community news podcast of August - in a way fitting to his handle. With a little touch of drama and a little touch of humor. I hope I didn't offend anyone (oh well... I'm trolling a bit, so I guess I don't care that much... but I do a bit though... does it show that I have a chaotic brain?)

Picture 1 shows the radio hanging over the edge with the front panel rotated down before rotating it back into place. It shows the cramped working condition I had to deal with. Link to the YouTube video I used that described the process of removing the two backup batteries in a Kenwood TS-940S. The video was very useful and informative however as usual it looked far easier than it actually was or perhaps I’m just rubbish at taking radios apart. Picture 2 shows the clock display immediately

TIL 1: Incrementing times with the date command I have been working on an HPR project which is restoring external files to shows which lost them when we migrated to the current static site. As I make changes I want to be able to check that they are correct, but to make this check I need to wait for the next update of the static site. Ken was away recently, and set up a cron job to refresh the site every three hours. Each show page shows the refresh time in UTC form in the header. Being a bit
