Jeez. NIST in Boulder was affected by the wind-related power outages and lost sync with their masers

#timegeeks
text from an email from jeff sherman at NIST Bill Woodcock via Outages <outages@outages.org> Attachments11:54 AM (6 minutes ago) to Hank, Bill Widely reported, but not yet on Outages: https://groups.google.com/a/list.nist.gov/g/internet-time-service/c/o0dDDcr1a8I jeff.sherman@nist.gov 2:18 AM (17 hours ago) to Internet-time-service Dear colleagues, In short, the atomic ensemble time scale at our Boulder campus has failed due to a prolonged utility power outage. One impact is that the Boulder Internet Time Services no longer have an accurate time reference. At time of writing the Boulder servers are still available due a standby power generator, but I will attempt to disable them to avoid disseminating incorrect time. The affected servers are: time-a-b.nist.gov time-b-b.nist.gov time-c-b.nist.gov time-d-b.nist.gov time-e-b.nist.gov ntp-b.nist.gov (authenticated NTP) No time to repair estimate is available until we regain staff access and power. Efforts are currently focused on obtaining an alternate source of power so the hydrogen maser clocks survive beyond their battery backups.

i tried on a zero 2W, and it didn't really work - a lot of buffer overruns and general slowness. my current setup is a 3 B+, and you're right! i did switch to a usb movo microphone directly to the pi.

i would think the smallest RAM 4 would be sufficient

Hey Eric! I took steps to make sure passive cooling was as effective as possible - oversized enclosure, passive heatsinks on the chips themselves, and it's located on the shady side of the house, about 30 feet up.

The graph is temps from my planetracker Pi4 in an identical enclosure next to it
core temps in a pi4, year to date. min 12.2, avg 48.3, max 82.7 (celsius)

I'm having a dental thing tomorrow morning, and tonight, the entire right half of my head is just screaming with nerve pain, and i'm simultaneously cringing at the pain and marveling at how the distribution almost exactly matches the onion-skin distribution of the trigeminal pain receptors

It's a fun day when I get *one* new species detection, but *two* today?!? And the owl is back!!

SOOO many red-headed woodpeckers in my oak forest, which makes sense

#Birds #birdnet
screenshot of my birdnet station dashboard showing two new species detected today, along with one rare one - the new ones are the Common Redpoll and Wood Duck, and the rare one is an Eastern Screech-Owl todays species distribution showing red-headed woodpecker with a HUGE first place, 275 observations. downy woodpecker is #2 with only 13!
