Thanks! Something definitely funky
I don't care if it's DST or not, but every time change is a chore
If 4 is good, how about 8? :)
The movie 'Fall' has a radio tower in it. Don't let a radio engineer see it 🫣 www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGzr...
It's still fun to have a rubidium oscillator to play with, if you can scrounge one from some old 5G equipment :)
Also, eventually, cesium!
A man with a watch knows what time it is.
A man with two watches is never sure.
I built a PTP clock, and now I'm not sure what time it is.

If you'll be there again in 2026... :)
📹Recording DV over FireWire on a Raspberry Pi 5 via the prototype Firehat. More to come...
macOS Tahoe is still full of annoyances like this: a notification inside *System Preferences* that cannot be gotten rid of, and it causes the list to look janky, with weird spacing for the list item and a misaligned "2".
I'd be happy with Classic or Aqua over 'Glass'
If MacEffects ever makes a color matched plastic apple drop-in for these things, they'll make mint lol.
Oh how cute is that little guy! I want to build one in the 4-5" range, that looks like the original Mac... hopefully by next MARCHintosh I have some time for the design.
Kicking off #MARCHintosh with the smallest Mac ever: the Pico Micro Mac!

Ooh can't wait!
You should call it...

Companies are coming around to the appeal of mini racks :)
Exaviz sent their new Cruiser board to test, and DeskPi sent over their prototype mini rack mount for it. My experience upgrading my open source Pi NVR here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Lay...
Haha if you know, you know.
Bias.
But I may have it down to 1ms by tomorrow morning. I'm letting a clock settle. Then on to microsecond, and eventually (hopefully) 40 ns.
Did you ever have a day where you have one task.
And you open up the app, open the file...
Then spend 8 hours on a completely separate task, and wonder how it's already 5 pm?
(At least I got this particular clock down from 37 seconds off to 200ms off...)
re @anthropic.com:
I've identified industrial-scale copyright violations on my content by Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, X, and more.
These companies created thousands of crawlers incorporating the text of all my blog posts, open source code, and books into their paid AI models to profit exorbitantly.
Hi @jeffgeerling.com
I saw your Pico GPS clock and decided to make it into a NTP server with a Pico 2W.
GPS → PPS → Stratum-whatever, time over your network.
It's not the best but get a ~10-50ms accuracy after fix, over Wifi.
Full write up here.

Yes and now I have another clock build on my list haha
Looks great! Where did you find that 3D design??
The madlads at @pimoroni.com overclocked an RP2350 microcontroller from the base clock of 150 Mhz to a whopping 861.6 MHz.
It looks like 400-500 MHz can be stable on most Pico 2s, which is still wild.

Open source maintainers already had enough to worry about before the ongoing agentic AI revolution... my thoughts on recent AI-induced problems in open source development: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZJ7...
Exaviz mini NAS/NVR CM5 board - includes 8x PoE, 2.5 Gbps uplink from Pi. Fits in a 10" mini rack, with an enclosure (not final version) from DeskPi. Testing it next week!
Honestly I think we each liked different aspects equally. But the kids loved trying to make the conversation app mode do things like speak other languages, get confused, tell jokes, lol.
Kids definitely need supervision interacting with 'smart' things!
Can a robot replace my parent-child interactions? It should be "utterly trivial"... but I found that not to be the case. The robot is still cool, though. Full video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvBb...
Prepping for #Marchintosh...
Ah, fine cinematic masterpiece there!
