My latest toy to pair up with my mister fpga solves most of my retro gaming problems with modern LCD displays:
- no more HDMI sync losses during resolution changes in 32 bit console cores
- motion adaptive deinterlacing

It's a pretty good upscaler, games look just gorgeous 😍 #pixelfx #morph4k

Spaniard reaction to a catastrophic nation-wide power outage. If the end of the world comes, please catch me while I'm in Spain 🇪🇸

It took me a while, but when I eventually realized to what extent my Facebook feed had been hijacked by ads and fakes (social network they said?), and the negative effect it had on me, I deleted the app. Today I did the same with Instagram. Whatsapp is not going in the right direction...

This has been baking for a while, excited to see it out!

From personal observation, almost every failed local business in Berlin gets replaced by one of the following:

- A kebab shop
- A Spätkauf (late night shop)
- A barbershop

A sign of the times, or just Berlin being Berlin?

Sometimes asking ChatGPT feels like asking that friend who can't do anything himself but has watched all the documentaries.

Another piece of FPGA retro gaming goodness. Low/zero input lag, high accuracy, awesome community, half the price. Supports almost any console until the 5th generation, plus many arcades. I could not resist. #misterpi #misterfpga

Just used ChatGPT to help me fill out a (very confusing) customs power of attorney document in German (that UPS failed to give clear instructions on) and it worked surprisingly well. Just linked the .doc file and I got very clear indications and recommendations for my specific context. 💯

Top Amazon search recommendation in Germany is "syrian flag", above "Christmas present". Interesting times 🤔

We use OTEL for tracing in most of our services going to a local Tempo instance, we log using svlogd writing to a local logging directory that gets tailed by promtail and shipped to a local Loki instance. Grafana agents on each host get host metrics and scrape local containers to forward to Victoria
