To make a 1 metre long cable with a crimp connector at each end, you will need:

181571 kilometres of cable.
368995 crimp connectors
1 cable stripper
1 connection crimper

Method

1. Strip back each end of the cable
2. Crimp a connector on to each end.
3. Discard any crimp connectors that fall off immediately.
4. Apply the tug test each connector that has stayed on.
5. Discard the crimp connectors that have failed the tug test.
6. Check for connectivity and polarity.
7. Cut off any crimp connectors that remain.
8. Strip back ends of now reduced length cable.
9. Repeat from step two until 1 metre of cable reached.
10. Throw the whole thing out as useless and start again with a new length of cable.

Warning: You may need to repeat this process 90-100 times before creating a usable cable.

This is just a very elaborate way to say that you suck at crimping and have cheap tools. :BlobHajMlem:

@wawik Oh no, I've had this happen with £30000 power crimping equipment too.

Today's first task at work, diagnose a Dell Workstation that refused to boot. Colleague tells me the LED sequence at boot means a bad cpu. I try a few things like unplugging the pci cards, etc, but no it won't boot. Wanting to know what sort of "Cpu problem" it was, and if I could fix it, I check the Dell website.

Me: Did you say your orange and seven white flashes was a cpu failure.

Them: That's what ChatGPT said.

Me: Hmm. Because the Dell manual for this exact model says that means "The lid is open".

Yeah, I put the side on the case and it booted fine.

Zero, the mathematician snep, carrying classic light reading for knowledge under one arm, today it’s a volume on the Theory of Dimensions, Finite and Infinite.

Painting for Zero, the snow leopard.
Traditional. Acrylics.

I recorded a process video but I didn't notice the app run out of memory and it stopped recording at some point, so the video sadly is not complete, but it has most of the process of the painting, so I edited and shared it anyway. You can watch it on the first comment of this submission on my Telegram art channel: https://t.me/panda_paco

And you can find a slightly longer video as exclusive on Patreon and Ko-Fi for supporters, same as full resolution versions and more drawings that I haven't posted yet. You can check them out at supporting me on:

I had a lot of fun at MAGWest! Bay area furs are sleeping on this con.

I had lots of positive interactions in suit, people brought great energy in general, and there was lots of impromptu live music, stage shows, and a huge game room!

Someday I'm going to make a film and instead of actual sound effects, I'm going to use clips of the Foley artist speaking the intros on the SFX tapes.

Like, you'll see a guy wading in a river and getting attacked by an alligator, and he'll open his mouth, but instead of a scream you'll hear a guy saying "Man getting bit by an alligator and he screams."

@Zordrak You and me both. We gained a lot of tech, but something of value was definitely lost. And I don't know if there's really any way for us to ever get it back again.

‘Hot homes are dangerous for health; cardiovascular and respiratory issues, sleep disturbance, mental health problems and heat exhaustion all correlate with high temperatures in the home.

Health risks spike when temperatures inside are above 25C, and there is a link between overheating homes and the risk of death, particularly for elderly people.’

as a fan of ThinkPads, it's funny to me that the machines I have once cost thousands of dollars when brand new and we're only intended for business use. Now I'm using my (25 USD each) T42 and T420 as my main Win98SE and WinXP machines, respectively.

One of the things that pisses me off most about today's "AI" hype is that I grew up loving symbolic AI. That's the kind of AI that flourished before a big "AI Winter" killed off funding and research. It was based on the idea that you could fill a computer with facts, rules about how to operate on those facts, and build expert systems that could reason about things like a human would. It was promising! But all that's out the window now, LLMs sucked all the air out of the room.

Leo thought that, being in a separate painting, he’d be safe from Delph’s usual nonsense. He was wrong. Very wrong.

There is a new short domain name for #PuTTY!

https://putty.software/

At present, this is just a "landing page": a nice short name to remember, which will redirect you to the full PuTTY website at the same longer URL where it's always been.

But unlike putty.org or other third-party landing pages, this one is run by us, the actual PuTTY team, and it doesn't have a weird separate agenda of its own.

I intend to move the main PuTTY site over to that domain in the future, and leave just a redirector at the old location. But first I want to get the word out, so that people know which site to trust.

If anyone is still linking to putty.org, here's a place to link to instead. Please spread the word!

I wonder what Simon means by weird agenda.

*goes to putty.org

Wow, ok... at least they say not affiliated with the software but... yeah that's something special all right.

Good luck with getting the news out about https://putty.software/
