A little update on the #Plex (and Jelly) transcoding for the #synology #x25 models, DS425+ and DS225+.
A new version of the i915.ko version has been published (the #BeestationPlus one) that now supports #HDR tone mapping correctly.
Article has been updated and it is referring to this as a "v2" solution. v1 solution is still posted as a fail safe until some github scripts have been updated to the new solution.

If I could turn back time, I’d come up with a slogan so bad that X.25 would have certainly won the Protocol Wars:
I PEE

Also the blatant dismissal of absolitely basic #OpSec & #ComSec is just flabberghasting.
Only #decentralized, #OpenSource & #OpenStandards can actuall survive long-term and remain #secure.
It's the same reasons we use #PGPG/MIME & #SSH and not #X400 & #X25!
IOW: Think "How can you weaponize Signal?" and see what you csn do just holding key people in contempt...
The less #info a provider has, the less they can be forced to snitch upon customers.
"#JustUseSgnal!" is a form of dangerous "#TechPopulism" aimed at bamboozling #TechIlliterates who don't know better, abusing information asymetry to pull rank instead of investing the time and effort to *explain "how" and "why" this is indeed a good or bad idea.
The only ones that have a chance to beat that are @delta / #deltaChat but that's just #PGP/MIME #eMail in a nice UI...

MFJ bids us Farewell:
MFJ and ARRL catalogs sat near my Computer Shopper as dreams of things I could not afford. I was sad to hear that MFJ is finally shutting its doors, even if it is apparent to some degree that time has passed.
There was something special about flipping page after page, wishing for something. The posters of an Icom IC-706 or DEC Alpha that graced my walls seem so distant in time now.
RJE: распределенные вычисления эпохи мезозоя
Говорят, что современная технология разделения ресурсов в концепции ЦОД берет свое начало с появления RJE — Remote job entry , или удаленной пакетной обработки. Утверждение спорное, однако сам по себе механизм RJE интересен прежде всего с исторической точки зрения, поскольку его можно считать как минимум предтечей различных терминальных систем. Вот об этом механизме, а также об использовавшем его железе мы сегодня и поговорим.

The synchronous serial interface of my VAX failed and needed repair - Not a fun task given the amateurish setup in my basement. After extracting the machine and fixing a couple of cracked solder joints on the DSW42-AA, it is now back on TELEBAHN. After re-assembly, the setup looks neater than before, but I still dread the next time something fails. #retrocomputing #x25 #vax #sparc
Stuff To Read: OSI: The Internet That Wasn’t – IEEE Spectrum
If you were a geek and online in (not least) UK academia in the 1980s and early 1990s, you were probably not using TCP/IP except on the local LAN of the Computer Science department. This was because people who sat on committees and who were therefore very Clever™ had decided what your network should be like, viz: a horrible glorified phone network where other prefabricated computer services would TellYouWhatYouNeedToKnow™.
This is the story of that network:
https://spectrum.ieee.org/osi-the-internet-that-wasnt
Aside: one of the more interesting things about this design was that it shared later architectural aspects with Tor Onion Networking – viz: The Dark Net – e.g. Circuit-Switching, probably for equally architectural reasons.
