Verdict: it is OK-ish.

25 Gigabit Linux internet router PC build – Michael Stapelberg (forget MikroTik for this)
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/07/05
Two interesting posts on fast network routing:
- [Wayback/Archive] 25 Gigabit Linux internet router PC build – Michael Stapelberg
- [Wayback/Archive] How I configured and then promptly returned a MikroTik CCR2004 router for Fiber7 (2021) – Michael Stapelberg
… I also ran into weird DNS slow-downs, which I didn’t fully diagnose. In Wireshark, it looked like my machine sent 2 DNS queries but received only 1 DNS result, and then waited for a timeout.
… Since I last used MikroTik in 2014 the software seems to have barely changed. I wish they finally implemented some table-stakes features like DNS resolution for DHCP hostnames

Diagnosing ThinkPad T510 shutting down after ~30 seconds: heat problem?
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/06/27
A while ago, [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “The ThinkPad T510 problem was easier to resolve than anticipated: a dust problem after all. This video helped opening up the internals: www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrjoiH5LS3g When it re-occurs, the next step is remove fan, re-apply thermal paste then add fan again. Thanks for all the tips!”
Below are some pictures (including some great tools I made/have) which I made after disassembling according to this video: [Wayback/Archive] Lenovo ThinkPad T510 disassembly and fan demontage [no audio]. – YouTube

Hobbyscoop: 1980s broadcast testing your stereo equipment – YouTube
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/06/14
The 1970s, 1980s and early 1990s had the cool Dutch Hobbyscoop broadcast about anything technical related to audio/radio/computing.
One of their broadcasts got preserved at [Wayback/Archive] Hobbyskoop – YouTube.
A cool inclusion thing is that the main presenter for almost two decades was a woman named Ingrid Drissen who is still alive and still makes great presentations including ones about tech and science.
The were the initiator of Basicode, a crossplatform way for many 1970s and 1980s computers to save, load and broadcast BASIC programs over audio via FM and AM radio sometimes nicked an Esperanto for computers.

Hopefully a newer and more reliable “Computa Pranksta” mouse jiggler device will ever be released
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/05/30
For my link archive as this was a cool idea, but for many their device didn’t last that long:
[Wayback/Archive] ElectricRCAircraftGuy/eRCaGuy_ComputaPranksta_Support: Public support for my “Computa Pranksta” mouse jiggler device I sell on Amazon and elsewhere.
This device is a mouse jiggler. It keeps your computer awake. It can also be used to have some fun with your friends (please don’t take it too far–it’s meant to be used in good, friendly gest–not for any type of malicious purposes).
Notes:
- There are software based Mouse Jiggler implementations as well; I wrote about one of them a loooooong time ago in Mouse Jiggler – MouseJiggle.exe will (virtually) move your mouse cursor so the screen saver does not start.
- I have a bunch of “original” USB Mouse Jigglers of which there are compact and long ones. I forgot I had ordered the compact ones too, so I got reminded when I decommissioned the old kiosk machine after my mom passed away and had to lookup what a [Wayback/Archive] cru mj-3 – Google Search was (:
Links on those USB Mouse Jigglers below, but first some links on the Computa Pranksta:
