  • As many of you, front left is for phone.

    Front right is for everything else I need, usually vape but it could be keys if I don’t wear a jacket.

    Back pockets are always empty.

    I ditched the wallet years ago, everything is on my phone and as long as I am not crossing a border that’s enough for daily life. The problem is that I am so used to not having a wallet that I forget it even when I’m supposed to go abroad and show an ID if asked. Oh well this is Europe, it’s like casino roulette, maybe I’ll get a border patrol, maybe not 🤷🏻‍♂️









  • Not all of them, most of ATC in EASA airspace is Linux based and use electronic strips instead of the plastic paper strips.

    But the foundation of the ground/ground communication is still AFTN based on x400 network (Europe used to have an X.25 network for its CIDIN communications).

    The latest and newest tech for international data exchange is AMHS based on X400, often it is x400 over IP ok, but still a 50 years or so tech.

    The main idea behind ATC and aviation tech is reliability and compatibility with countries with less money to upgrade tech.


  • I have one of those minisforum amd hx 370 (the x1 ai pro). Those are very powerful awesome hardware. I use the mini pc as a work computer for 3D and dev on OpenSuse and lightweight low power gaming machine (like long haul Xplane12 flight during the night).

    Everything is well made and beautifully built.

    As for this NAS version, if money is not an issue I wouldn’t hesitate. 10Gbs, tons of ram, Amd hx 370. It sure is overkill for a NAS, it’s more tailored for a very beefy docker server and/or virtualization station while being a multimedia NAS at the same time.

    I built my own synology replacement with second hand itx parts in a jonsbo n3 case, but if I hadn’t or just had plenty of cash to spare, I would definitely go for a server like this one (my use case is NAS + docker + virtualization + eventual game server all in one).

    As a side note, the “AI” part is just communication for now, those chips are not yet supported for local LLM on Linux (Windows only atm), they need ROCm support for iGPU RDNA 3.5 and the new AMD NPU integration into those local frameworks (llama.ccp etc).

    It will come for sure, it’s just not ready yet.




    • iPhone 13 mini (only ok small phone available at the time)
    • Huge gaming PC (Windows because of some games)
    • Framework 13 (OpenSuse Tumbleweed)
    • Minisforum X1 pro (Same hardware and OS as the framework)
    • Homemade ITX NAS (unraid)
    • Pi 4 with some docker containers (OpenSuse, always)

    I have to sell my older NAS and Steamdeck now. The framework 13 is my new workstation/steamdeck thanks to the new AMD Hx 370.
