Morning ritual was pretty straight forward, a +sandwich with a few cups of coffee, and then off to the dump again to bring a second load of junk +from the basement. This time it was only recyclables, cardboard, some batteries, metal and lots and +lots of power, serial and network cables. I am not kidding when I say I had north of 200 or so RJ45-DB9 +Cisco serial cables in a box. I say: had, off they go - _Marie Kondo_ would be proud. + +I also have two large boxes of aging lithium batteries down here - that's going to change now. I'll +bring a few ones that are somewhat P. Diddy to the dump later, but for now I'm sorting them into +usable / unusable stacks. Oh, and when we moved in, I "temporarily" stored a P-40 Curtiss plane +[[ref](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtiss_P-40_Warhawk)] in my basement. This thing is pretty +big, wingspan is 1'700mm, with landing gear, flaps, 6S with 60A ESC, the works! I should really fly +this thing some time. But for now, it's moving to the garage - I took a picture of it against the +hedge, it's really a nice one - see it fly [[here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtFSkkF9dCs)]. + +I'm planning quite a few trips over the summer - last week we visited Helsinki, and further I'm +going to go to Eindhoven and onwards to Jubbega, the Netherlands, I'll spend a few days in Luzern, +Switzerland, then I'm off to Oslo, Norway, immediately followed by Paris, France (after their +hangover from the Olympics, I hope), but then also to Piacenza and Milan, Italy, a party in Geneva, +Switzerland and finally a trip to Amsterdam and Almere (and probably Eindhoven again), in the +Netherlands. To plan the logistics, I made this paper printout of the months, so I can scribble my +notes before settling on travel dates and who comes with (sometimes, I will travel solo, sometimes +with Marina, and sometimes with Quinn and Marina). I'm very much looking forward to those trips! But +in August, I'm planning on mainly staying home. I took a picture of my scribbles. + +## Afternoon + +I ate a cheese melt with a cup-o-noodles for lunch. Quinn gave me the packet and I had a surprise +because I was expecting chicken, but it was curry flavored. I thought you'd like to know. Then I +went back to my underground lair (I did not find Dr. Evil there!) and mested out my closet, once +again finding cables and things that, 20 years ago, I thought maybe could ome in handy some day. +Notable finds: a set of SCSI cables, a parallel ATA ribbon cable, a few dozen SATA cables and power +splitters, and a dozen or so fans and power supplies for PCs that I will never build again, and if I +will, they will have changed :) for now, Summer (a 😍 HP Pro Mini 400 G9) and Jessica (the 🥰 Mac +Studio from yesterday) will be all I need™. + +There is one thing that I wanted to show, though - + +``` +jessica:~ pim$ traceroute6 hvn0.nlams3 +traceroute6 to 2001:678:d78:506::2 from 2001:678:d78:50b::32, 64 hops max, 28 byte packets + 1 msw0.chbtl0.net.ipng.ch 2.155 ms 2.082 ms 2.113 ms + 2 msw1.chrma0.net.ipng.ch 1.932 ms 1.846 ms 1.792 ms + 3 msw0.chrma0.net.ipng.ch 2.086 ms 1.733 ms 1.894 ms + 4 msw0.defra0.net.ipng.ch 7.518 ms 7.535 ms 7.607 ms + 5 msw0.nlams0.net.ipng.ch 13.580 ms 13.657 ms 13.585 ms + 6 hvn0.nlams3.net.ipng.ch 13.017 ms 12.777 ms 12.849 ms + +pim@hvn0-nlams3:~$ iperf3 -c jessica -P 10 +... +[ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate +[ 5] 0.00-10.01 sec 351 MBytes 294 Mbits/sec receiver +[ 8] 0.00-10.01 sec 266 MBytes 223 Mbits/sec receiver +[ 10] 0.00-10.01 sec 283 MBytes 237 Mbits/sec receiver +[ 12] 0.00-10.01 sec 298 MBytes 250 Mbits/sec receiver +[ 14] 0.00-10.01 sec 339 MBytes 284 Mbits/sec receiver +[ 16] 0.00-10.01 sec 256 MBytes 215 Mbits/sec receiver +[ 18] 0.00-10.01 sec 280 MBytes 234 Mbits/sec receiver +[ 20] 0.00-10.01 sec 270 MBytes 226 Mbits/sec receiver +[ 22] 0.00-10.01 sec 326 MBytes 273 Mbits/sec receiver +[ 24] 0.00-10.01 sec 227 MBytes 190 Mbits/sec receiver +[SUM] 0.00-10.01 sec 2.83 GBytes 2.42 Gbits/sec receiver +``` + +I *love* IPng Networks' AS8298, and I *love* my carrier IP-Max - having a private 10G network from +my basement through Zurich, Frankfurt to Amsterdam is really fun. I know it's a bit of a +humble-brag, but I know many people who have 10ms of latency to their cablemodem headend. For me, +it's 12.7ms end to end to a hypervisor running at Equinix AM3 in Amsterdam. It's just plain +delicious! + +The other day I received two +Arista 7280-SR-48C6 switches, which I'm eager to test. Also, David from GOWIN sent me a 19" rack +mountable unit to compare notes with the [[R86S](https://ipng.ch/s/articles/2024/07/05/r86s.html)] +that I tested a while ago. Once this cleaning is over (and, cautiously I think it will be over +tomorrow, which I'm happy to prove with a video!), I think I'll do some playing around with those +machines, but I will post my findings on the IPng site, not here. Separation of concerns, and all +that. + +Back to cleaning - I applied some cable management to the rats nest of power, network, fiber and USB +cables at my desk. I'm happy with the result - I took a picture, maybe you agree? In the closet +where I found the stone aged computer parts, I also found an assortment of bags of screws - some for +PC motherboards (which, once again, I do not think I will ever use again, so I trimmed them quite a +bit), some for disk caddies, or SSDs (because why would you use the same screws ...), lots of +chassis screws for Supermicro, and a few kilograms of assorted 19" cage nuts and screws. I sorted +them all into little baggies, which took a surprising amount of time. + +## Evening + +I biked over to IKEA one more time to fetch another set of _Dröna_ boxes - I really like them +as storage containers, and they fit snugly in the Kallax. Even if I put 220V C13/C14 cables, or +network cables in them, they still visually close the shelf, so it doesn't look as chaotic. I bought +another eight of them, for a grand total of twelve now in the basement. Six of these will go at my +computer desk, which has two nice 4K screens attached to a 3x4 Kallax as well. I guess you could say +that my desk and serverroom are now a matching pair. At IKEA, I take the shortcut, through the +cashiers you can to directly to the hall to pick up the stuff, I was in and out in a matter of 10 +minutes, which was nice. + +I got home and the sunny afternoon was replaced with clouds that were dark and gloomy. Marina and I +were going to take a walk to the next town over, Dietlikon, to get our _Schweizer Gügeli_ +(rotissery chicken), but she warned of oncoming bad weather - we looked on the radar, and it would +be a very bad idea to walk home in the pouring rain with a few roasted chickens, so instead we drove +to pick them up. + +I made _Rösti_ and Marina/Quinn prefer _Ofenkroketten_ (for reasons beyond me). We nommed on +the chicken, and it rained a little bit, not quite as much as the radar had predicted. So after +dinner, we took our chances and Marina and I took a little walk down our town, we took a look at the +55 new apartments they're building down the road. I'm not sure I like them... and then over the +fields back home, when we got to our street, we saw a kitty lounging on the side walk. A walk around +town is not complete without a _kittycat_, so we said hi to each other. She was super friendly, and +gave us both attention for a few minutes, and then got bored of us and took off. Thanks, Mrs Kitty! + +We watched one episode of Stranger Things - in Season4 they are getting quite long (the one we +watched was 1h41m), after which Quinn said his goodbyes, and Marina and I watched another series +that we started the other day: _Dear Child_, in original language (which is German). Considering +_Forbes_ said it is not worth watching, that's exactly what we will do. For now, I think it's +intriguing enough to continue. + +At 22:30 I went downstairs to enjoy a little bit of liquid drum and bass by Dee Camù on +YouTube, notably [[this set](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJoLKS4t5yw)]. + +## Pictures of the Day + +{{< gallery-category >}} + {{< gallery-photo fn="2024-07-31/IMG_0444.JPG" caption="This P-51 Mustang warbird has been in my basement since we moved in - can you believe it?" >}} + {{< gallery-photo fn="2024-07-31/IMG_0446.JPG" caption="I'm using a paper calendar to scribble my travels; lots of fun places to visit" >}} + {{< gallery-photo fn="2024-07-31/IMG_0447.JPG" caption="I folded the laundry - a bunch of M, L and XL IPng polos, they are pretty schmick!" >}} + {{< gallery-photo fn="2024-07-31/IMG_0448.JPG" caption="When I clean, I CLEAN!
