Today I learned about two things which made me excited for the future of The Internet again:
- Iroh 1.0 – Dial Keys, not IPs
- Yggdrasil, a new experimental compact routing scheme
The future of networking

Silly Job Title: Wire Whisperer. I am the Wire Whisperer!
In this video we do the 17th project from the Maxitronix 30in1 Electronics Project Lab Kit: The Touching Light.
In the video I mention about my KiCad keymaps, you can learn more here: KiCad.
We use the UNI-T UTi260B Thermal Imager to investigate circuit thermals.
We use the EEVblog BM2257 Digital Multimeter to measure circuit current draw.
We use the Kaisi S-160 45x30cm Repair Mat as our workspace.

Silly Job Title: Tech Lead. I am the Tech Lead!
In this video we continue working our way through Learning the Art of Electronics and continue working through 1W Worked Examples: DC circuits with 1W.6 Effects of loading.
We use the METCAL PS-900 Soldering Station for soldering.
We use the MUIN Solder Fume Extractor to clear the air.
We use the Tenma 72-10505 Bench Power Supply to provide 20 V for testing.
We use the EEVblog BM2257 Digital Multimeter to measure voltage and resistance.
We use the Pro’sKit MT-2207-C Analog Multimeter as our analog VOM.
We use the Brother P-Touch D210 Label Maker to label our voltage dividers.
We use the Sharp EL-546L Scientific Calculator to crunch some numbers.
We use the Bysameyee Head-Mounted Magnifier for close inspection.
We use the ElectroCookie PCB Prototype Solderable Breadboard to build our voltage dividers on.
We use the WilliamKlein Music Stand to hold our text while we work on the bench.
We use the Scotch Titanium Scissors to snip, snip, snip.
We use the Hakko CHP 3C-SA Precision Tweezers for tweezering.
We use the Plato Model 170 Wire Cutter to trim our leads after soldering.
We use the Kaisi S-160 45x30cm Repair Mat as our workspace.

Virtual Display Driver for use with TightVNC on Windows 11
I have a problem with my TightVNC server where when I “unplug” the monitor (i.e. use my KVM to select a different workstation) then my display vanishes from my VNC client. To fix this I installed Virtual Display Driver. I downloaded and installed the Beta: Virtual Driver Control (25.7.23) (you should check for newer version at the previous link). I extracted VDD.Control.25.7.23.zip then ran the “VDD Control.exe” program and clicked “Install Driver”. After that I just had to tweak my graphics settings, which I did like this:

This isn’t new, but it continues to be confounding.
