Shawshank (Void If Removed)Awake and dressed. Seven am came so very quickly this morning. For a split second I considered shutting off the alarm and going back to sleep. But the alarm went off, and I got up, turned on the co…
Man, finally! I can’t wait to read about the shenanigans you two will be up to @Shawshank 😀
Jan-Lukas Else (jlelse.blog)I missed the exact day, but now it’s been over a year since I switched to my completely custom blogging system. And still I am very happy with it! It has all the features I need, and if I have a new idea, I can usually implement it quickly right away.
Commander1024 – A Network Engineer's life (Commander1024)Bluetooth und HiFi sind zwei so Begriffe, die, zusammen in einem Satz ausgesprochen, Audio Enthusiasten gerne einen Schauer den Rücken runter laufen lassen. Der Grund ist trivial. Bluetooth hat zu wenig Bandbreite um Audio in hoher Auflösung unkomprimiert durch die Luft zu übertragen. Für den Headset Betrieb (synchroner Betriebsmodus für Telefonie) reicht es so gerade. Dabei ist die Qualität ...
I was delighted to read about the digital reconstruction of a chain mail based on an exhibit next door.
The piece in question (exhibit F 14,01-2) was found in a grave near 72501 Gammertingen, Germany and consists of ~45.000 iron pieces. It’s well preserved and can be viewed in our local state museum or online at https://www.landesmuseum-stuttgart.de/sammlung/sammlung-online/dk-details/?dk_object_id=1280 – both basically next door for me.
The interesting part is that it’s a mix of riveted and stamped rings, also known as “Roman Mesh”. I own a similar piece myself and I’m fascinated by this type of mail.
This pattern was digital reconstructed using Blender and it’s polygonal modelling functions and uploaded to SketchFab under CC license by it’s authors:

So dear game devs, there is no longer an excuse for shoddy chain mail patterns in games – here it’s served on a silver platter 😛
Did you know that hostnamectl also has a host parameter?
for i in {bob,alice,steam,punk,younameit}; do echo "$i:"; hostnamectl --host "$i" status | grep -A1 "Operating System"; doneSometimes this is a faster way to compile a quick list instead of asking Monitoring.
