I’m planning a trip to California this January and plan on renting a Porsche to cruise from San Francisco down to roughly Big Sur and back. I’ve only ever driven a base Cayman about 4 years ago in southern CA.

It will definitely be manual, and if it’s a Cayman it’ll be a larger block or naturally aspirated version instead of the base. I’d really like to try a 911, but I’m wondering if that would really be more fun on the PCH since posted speeds are 65 max and I will be driving relatively sanely. I’ve heard the manual ratios in the 911 are long, and I don’t want you to be sitting in 2nd gear the whole trip.

Anyways, looking for recommendations/what would you do. Thanks!

I had an interaction the other day that has me curious where I stand among fellow GTI folks with regard to catless downpipes.

I was rolling down a main thoroughfare in my city, had a nice clean mk6 roll up next to me and give a few revs. I replied in kind, rolled down the window at the next stop and gave a quick wave and said hi. Guy and his girl are friendly and all smiles.

Light changes and we take off, I’m not going any faster than normal (30mph heavily monitored zone), he gives it the mustard and I hear the awesome growl and smell the fumes of an obvious big bore catless DP.

We roll up to the next stop, and I tell him “hey man, I only say this out of GTI brother love, but don’t run

I’ve been a fan of Sibarist cone filters since discovering them thanks to James Hoffman’s video on the Hario Switch. I brew a lot of Ethiopian coffees, for which the consensus seems to be that they throw a lot of fines. Anecdotally I’ve found this to be true when using a variety of cone filters as well as Kalita 185s. Sibarist is the only paper I’ve found so far that never seems to choke out while I’m trying to dial in a bean on my DF64 with SSP Cast Lab Sweet burrs. I’ve tried various Hario Filters, Cafec Abaca and Medium filters, and Origrami filters with varying levels of success but generally speaking much less consistency.

Most of the Ethiopian beans I

I ordered a Pro 2 today, seems like PFU is drawing down the last of their stock based on availability and the fact that they're going on sale in some regions like EMEA.

Anyways, was going to order some Deskeys silencing rings and noticed that they have a Silicone option. I hadn't seen that before, and I can find almost nothing about them, even on the Deskeys site itself. Anybody used them, or done a side-by-side comparison to their non-silicone offering?

Hi all. I made a stupid mistake trying to install some sorbothane in the case of my HHKB Hyrbrid Type-S, and one of the conductors on the ribbon cable tore, and several others look severely kinked. Does anybody know if this part is replaceable through Mouser, Digikey, etc.? It appears to have 30 conductors but beyond that I'm having a hard time finding anything because I'm not really sure what else to search for. Thanks in advance, hopefully didn't just brick a $300+ keyboard :(

I'm a Go developer by day and new to the Arduino world. I've found TinyGo to be a really fun and productive way for me to interact with the world of Arduino, and I wrote a blog post describing how to get a development environment up and running in my preferred IDE, GoLand/IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate. In this post I describe how to get everything installed to enable all of the functionality we expect in modern IDEs, such as code completion, refactoring support, and automatic import management. If you are interested in TinyGo I hope you find it useful. Cheers!

I'm writing a CLI and one of my desired features is to have a command called "feedback" that opens a browser window to the project's issue page using the appropriate helper program for the platform (xdg-open on Linux, open on Mac OS, etc.).

I've been able to isolate the building of the command to a func (getFeedback) that takes GOOS and my own command interface, allowing me to mock out the run() command for that particular unit test. But the parent func Feedback() that calls getFeedback() obviously has to call the real os/exec command, and os/exec doesn't seem to offer any helpful interfaces for mocking this.

I'm having issues figuring out how to write a unit test for the execution of cmd

Has anybody been allowed into the EKS (k8s-as-a-service) preview yet or have some information on a rough timeline? I signed up as soon as it was released at Re:Invent but haven't heard anything yet. Meanwhile, my organization is seriously considering a hybrid cloud architecture with Google or Azure in order to get onto a GA k8s-aas.

I'm hoping somebody can clear up some confusion here. I've built out a Gluster on ZFS cluster on SuperMicro hardware using LSI 9207-4i4e HBAs running over an SFF 8087 to an internal 12-disk expander with 4 TB SATA drives. We initially purchased the 4i4e version of the 9207 to support JBOD expansion down the road, which is where I'm at now.

I've been in conversations with our vendor regarding the expansion, and they seem to think that putting a 24-disk JBOD on the external SFF 8088 port on the 9207 will cause performance issues for the internal 12-disk expander. In their words, any time you attach another expander backplane to the same HBA, performance will degrade. Their recommendation
