One of my first job out of school was as a sales support for the then bleeding edge NT 3.1 MIPS box for a company in Canada. Fond memories of loading stacks of 1.44 floppy disks for NT 3.1 and mangling ARC paths (Advanced RISC Computing, boot firmware). This was pre-internet and documentation was often hard to come by, incomplete etc.
I remember demoing the machines to astonished clients by running a stupid number of Clock apps on the desktop without a hitch.
Fun times.
Re:Open Sauce is a confoundingly brilliant Bay Area event

I was also there and especially enjoyed seeing the number of parents with kids. The badge making area is always full of kids, and adult parents or staff/volunteers guiding them in completing the Open Sauce badge.
Getting to see and hold a 3D printed regenerative cooled liquid rocket engine was my personal highlight.
BPS.space (Joe Barnard) released a nice YouTube Short that also highlighted some favorites.

Agree, this tool is fantastic for adhoc transfers on my Android, iOS and Mac devices.
Even works over tailscale on Wifi with Client isolation on.

Looks like it does work, but it takes a lot longer to load the first piece of music compared to the PushPlay.html version.

Looks like it was inspired by the TraceTogether app built by the Singapore Government and recently Opensourced.

Re:Jitsi Meet features update

This is so very true. We have been monitoring the bandwidth, CPU and mempools of our small Jitsi Meet instance living on an ESXi VM on a Mac Mini. We notice that 3-4 participants typically consume 5-7mbps downstream to the server and about 5mbps upstream from the server while CPU usage stay in the 15-20% range. The bandwidth scales fairly quickly with the number of participants, especially on phone type devices.

Love SH3D and its small team of developers!
I have used it in the past to model some property in 3D and use them on AirBnB and Facebook listings. The tenants and guests have always said that the mode was a major reason they decided to visit the property as it gave a clear idea of the size and proportion of the various rooms and amenities. Thanks SH3D.

It’s the Autonomy day presentation about 1:20:00 in from the beginning.
I think a lot of the questions people have will be answered if they took the time to go through the video.

Thank you! I have been waiting since April and also on the Testflight beta. Have been looking forward to recommending this to my friends and family that needs a casual VPN for those use cases where they are visiting a unfamiliar hotspot.
Heads up that the 10GB is also not showing up.

I wonder if it is possible to use this technology to build a noiseless fan.
