Elon Musk wants a free Mars: "For Services provided on Mars, or in transit to Mars via Starship or other spacecraft, the parties recognize Mars as a free planet and that no Earth-based government has authority or sovereignty over Martian activities."

#IoT Edge solution for water level monitoring: rather than sensors that can be swept away by floods, smart IoT cameras can see the water level in this #Telstra case study https://www.telstra.com.au/business-enterprise/news-research/case-studies/contactless-water-flow-monitoring
At Dracula, Queensland Ballet. Lots of people dressed up. (I just have my #killstar Vladimir bat shirt on.)
Minimising work in progress is one #DevSecOps principle we follow at @TelstraPurple - I often explain this as working right to left on your #Kanban board.

Still enjoying developer life at #TelstraPurple (12 years! this week), I've just moved to the #IoT Portfolio. Will be posting about some of the great things they are involved with, like https://airspeeder.com/
In #database delivery hell? I just finished reading Alex Yates' #DevSecOps posts on safe schema updates. https://octopus.com/blog/safe-schema-updates-1-delivery-hell

If you're on a big instance with lots of members, you might want to consider moving to a smaller instance.
Smaller instances can give members personal attention, as the admin has more time to deal with messages and feedback. They also tend to have more interesting local timelines if you pick an instance that matches a favourite topic.
Using smaller instances also protects the Fediverse from nasty people or companies, because a spread-out Fediverse is much harder to hack or buy.

Finally understood why does a 2-port measurement on a network analyzer can reliably find the impedance of a Power Distribution Network. The RF impedance between power and ground is nearly zero on a PCB with many capacitors, diverting 99% current coming out from port 1 to ground, meanwhile port 2 is in parallel, but its 50 Ω input impedance is large and gets almost no current, no voltage drop. Like Kelvin sensing but instead of 1 MΩ, 50 Ω is large enough. And since port 2 receives almost no power, S21 goes to zero and impedance equation simplifies to a straight line Z = 25 Ω x S21, really neat. #electronics
