if I had more time and money and electrical engineering experience I'd waste a lot of it building a universal low/zero-latency KVM system.
I just want to be able to mix modern machines and ones that use PS/2/XT keyboards and VGA displays. As well as being universally modular and expandable, in case I need to hook up 20 486s for some reason
@foone Having got lazily used to conman (https://dun.github.io/conman/) for $dayjob, I wish that all systems had some OOB management port, not just noisy rack servers
My settings work has some basic data types and I am just adding the “fixed array of uint8_t”. Not sure if to name it “bytes” or “octets” or avoid the question and call it “fixed”…
I am old enough to remember when bytes were not always octets. But they have been the same for many many decades now. And “octets” sounds “woke” somehow :-) :-) :-)

.. or French (these days, is that more of an insult?), although I see my former ISP (https://www.k-net.fr/) is now offering Gb/s not Go/s
(aside, sighs in NBN pricing comparison)
Arg! Latest bright idea for GPS logger…
I am now pondering if I can make the ordnance survey postcode location database in a format of a single file that can be loaded on an SD card and easily indexed using lat/lon (or E/W). I’ll have to ponder the format.
That way it would be possible to have a self contained in car GPS logger that automatically emails you a list of post codes you visited whilst out, with times and mileage.
Instant expense claim, not even needing a local server!
The internet has ruined me. I’m having an issue with blender where it’s insta-crash as soon as I add a second UV to an object. Boom. Quit.
And diagnosing the problem or finding a fix is probably on a forum somewhere and oh gods I’m too old for that shit. So I’ll complain about it on social media instead and that’ll have to be my satisfaction.
@NanoRaptor in which case, the suitable responses are:
"Have you tried doing <thing you explicitly said you did first>?" or "well, it's working fine for me, and I have <totally different use case / totally different software revs>"
