I’ve run the power supply under load. As you can see I’ve not yet removed the screen protector foil from my multimeter connected the cables in the wrong direction so the current is negative load current @ Vout=5V [A] The load was a florist wire that accidentally had the correct length to have a resistance […]

After a (luckily unsuccessful) search for short cuts I have connected the power supply part on the pcb to an external power supply. The following screen shot shows that the power supply becomes operational at around 12V. Channel 1: VoutChannel 2: Vin (manual rise from 0 to 15V ) Unfortunately I do not have a […]

My next step will be testing the circuitry. power supply part of the cancombase Surprisingly for me the soldering of the IC was the easiest. I assume, that […]

After ordering the prototype pcbs in China on Saturay they arrived on the following Wednesday. I even got one more pcb than I’ve ordered. The service is very fast and the price more than acceptable.

After many years the whole RPM Fusion repository has grown to over 320GB. There have been occasional requests to move the unsupported releases to an archive, just like Fedora handles its mirror setup, but until last week this did not happen. As of now we have moved all unsupported releases (EL-5, Fedora 8 – 25) […]

After having worked on optimizing live container migration based on runc (pre-copy migration and post-copy migration) I tried to optimize container migration in LXD. After a few initial discussions with Christian I started with pre-copy migration. Container migration in LXD is based on CRIU, just as in runc and CRIU’s pre-copy migration support is based […]

For almost two years Mike Rapoport and I have been working on lazy process migration. Lazy process migration (or post-copy migration) is a technique to decrease the process or container downtime during the live migration. I described the basic functionality in the following previous articles: Lazy Process Migration Combining pre-copy and post-copy migration Those articles […]

It is a bit late but I still wanted to share my presentations from this year’s Linux Plumbers Conference: https://lisas.de/~adrian/pdf/lazy-process-migration.pdf https://lisas.de/~adrian/pdf/criu.d.pdf https://lisas.de/~adrian/pdf/criu-check-only.pdf On my way back home I had to stay one night in Albuquerque and it looks like the hotel needs to upgrade its TV system. It is still running Fedora 10 which is […]
