My hallway has a working ASR-33 (as old as me) and a suit of armour (modern). Oh, and I run an ISP, but these are my personal views and worth what you paid me for them. May contain nuts.

Yay, IPv6 Ethernet working properly now I fixed my own stupid config error.
To elaborate. I had set the subnet to explicitly not have "autonomous" (A) setting and to have "other (O) setting and DHCPv6 (experimental). This stopped the ESP getting an address (sensibly so).
The WiFi VLAN was a more normal config, and so worked.
We will have full DHCPv6 on FireBrick in due course, but for now it was testing I set up long ago, and forgot about.
Kicking myself a lot.
Thanks everyone for the well wishes.
Yes, I am hardly sleeping, feeling like crap. Counting down to next paracetamol. Hopefully this won’t drag on for too long…
What worries me is longer term issues. I have spent years recovering from a stroke after my last bout of Covid, and was finally feeling a lot more “myself” again, at last.
I hope nothing that bad, but it could easily be a thick head for months, or years.
It was bad watching my dad die of covid.
Take care everyone.
The #Faikout boards work well, but it occurs to me that Ethernet connection for air-con units would be really good for some installations (more reliable and secure).
A simple Ethernet version may be as little as £5 extra, but there is a concern if using with an X403 connection which is at grid power levels. It has isolating magnetics and margins, but still, not certified grid power safety isolation.
So now pondering a PoE version with opto-isolated S21 connection to aircon as an alternative.
I know film tropes are special, and I wondered on this.
Seen on old x-files, the notion of a "call trace"
I wonder how much is based on reality, albeit distorted.
I imagine analogue exchanges, someone at exchange checking mechanical selectors, or a (non audio) "buzzing" out the circuit, and it taking time.
The second anything digital it (a) takes no time and (b) can be done after the call has ended.
Anything in it?
I can’t say I don’t like the idea of a “n/a” balance, as long as it stays that way #Amex
Sadly it did not
Hmm. My beta release of #Faikout on 12th was broken. I had got a long way in debugging when someone suggested that the build had used v6.0.1-dirty of the ESP IDF, and had me previous debug/meddling with LWIP inadvertently broken something. I am very sure I would have got there soon. A clean IDF install fixed it. Well spotted.
Now he owns up and says he used claud! It gave a sensible explanation even (well, did not find the bug, but concluded I must have fucked up LWIP).
I feel -dirty now.
