It’s a pity that the practicalities of solar panels and electric cars meant that—outside of those wacky ultralight ultrawide desert racing contraptions—solar powered cars can’t exist. Until we found out what Starlink is REALLY for. Deposit coin, and as many satellites as you can afford will deploy their little parasols and concentrate sunlight on your Tesolar SUV’s panel.

I just want to take a moment to thank @everythingopen for offering a remote attendance option this year. Even with the slightly bumpy start to streaming this morning it’s been great to watch along from home in real time of a conference I couldn’t attend in person.

(Yes I could have just waited for the video releases in a few weeks. But I appreciate the option to be able to contribute to the costs of recording /streaming, and watch while others are discussing it.)

Doing some testing of the switches, and making sure they're configured correctly. They work! The site we're holding at has given us a link between rooms using multimode fibre, which I had to dig around to find the SFP 's for, but finally cobbled together something that worked. I also want to reassure everyone that there is 100% going to be an *only* network there, for those who want to live in the future.

Oh? What's that? You'd like a announcement before you for ?! Of course!

This week I ran some sessions on putting together a session proposal for and as a icebreaker I came up with a fake title for a talk title:

"It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me: The sorry state of DNS"

The more and more I read that title the more I want to see this talk. I challenge someone to propose this talk! pretty please!

(btw Call for sessions close this week)
