probably because I don't have my workstation

oh right I somehow forgot about mastodon

@mcc I have the same problem. I started writing a short blog post on MOSFETs and now it's a 3-part video series with associated blog post summaries :|

@xssfox oof :(

@xssfox That second line font alone is a dead giveaway. Why is it always that font? 🤔

[hacker voice] I'm in
[dragon voice] and for that reason, I'm out

starting a machinists' pub called The Boring Bar

me: can we go one day without getting a stupid nonsense phrase stuck in my head?

brain: lol, "rotator cuff perjury"

you know it's a good video when I come away from it wanting to build a toy multiphase buck converter with a microcontroller as a buck reg controller

"130nH sounds like a small inductor, but it is in fact not, because [...] the physical area of the inductor is proportional to the square of the current, which at 200A is substantial"

that proportionality is an *extremely* useful yardstick to have in my toolbox

I don't remember who pointed me in the direction of Prof. Sam Ben-Yaakov's videos but they're damn good. His mic kinda sucks in the older videos but they're still extremely educational. The inductor sizing issues he raises here were a real eye opener.

ahahaha, someone made a kernel module to create /proc/lobster

You know it's unreasonably hot when you're getting Grafana alerts on hardware temperatures while at idle load.

where do horses do their military service?

in the neighvy

my excuse for this is that I have a head injury

and then we looked
into /proc
there was a /proc/lobster

/PROC/LOBSTER
/PROC/LOBSTER

I just found this specification on a mitre saw 🤔
