Silva Method

Via a random youtube video I found something called the Silva Method and decided to read about it. I haven’t found any live solution. I dont want to go to the claims of the method, just wanted to focus in the meditation part and unlocking.

My goal is to improve. I want a clear, calm mind, and I want to learn more, faster and efficiently.

Shelljack, Europe RISC-V, Quantum China, 100G optics teardown, Curiosity (Going long!), SS7 hacking, Juniper Hacking

Shelljack: It is old but still interesting. At least it seems easy to implement

Europe RISC-V: Interesting report about what EU is doing about the CHIP wars and RISC-V. I guess as EU is not pouring billions like USA/China is not making to the news. It was interesting to read about the participation of Spain with UCM and the people behind openchip.

Quantum China: Another quantum chip in the mix. So far everything came from USA.

100G SR4 QSFP28: An optic teardown. There are links to other teardown like 100G QSFP28 DAC and this is more hardcore: 800G ZR+ optic.

Curiosity: This is the best definition of what curios means (and I light years from it…) Ben Jojo is a star: “Trust, but verify”

SS7 hacking: More real than I thought.

Juniper Hacking: Juniper answer. In one sense doesnt surprise me, Mikrotik is famous to feed several bootnets, so why not EOL devices from other vendors?

MCP, Manus, Brain Computer, Spectrum-X, Quantum, DC, Hung Task, Do The Work

MCP: It is “old” news news from Dec 2024 but looks like a big thing now.

Manus: new hype, but looks cool. Need to try.

Brain Computer: You have to replace the neurons….

Spectrum-X with Cisco Silicon: I dont understand this move much. You are selling your Ethernet solution is the best for AI and then you bring a different one?

Quantum Computing: Several news lately from MS Majorana (official)and AWS Ocelot. Still, is being used in real problems? Just PR?

Build your own DC: good intro, I dont think you can find many books about this in amazon?

Hung tasks in linux: nice articule for troubleshooting hung tasks in linux.

Do the work

Eggplant Parm

I watched this video and I had to try.

Ingredients

  • 2 eggplants sliced
  • flour for coating the eggplants
  • salt, honey (optional)
  • Sunflower oil for frying the eggplants
  • 700g good tomato passate
  • 3-4 garlic gloves chopped without core.
  • fresh basil or dried oregano if you dont have it
  • 2 balls of mozarrella (or smoked mozarrela if you find it)
  • Parmigiano

Process

  • Spread salt generously over the eggplants. Let is rest for 30 minutes. This is very important step to remove the acidiness.
  • The eggplants should have sweat some water. Clean all the slices with water and dried them with a towel.
  • In a sauce plan at medium heat, pour a glop of olive oil, when hot, add the garlic. Dont burnt it !!! Then add the tomato passate and basil/oregano. Add salt/pepper. Add a bit of honey, optional. Simmer for 30 minutes or so. Leave aside.
  • Heat up a pan with some sunflower oil to deep fry the eggplants. The oil is ready with you put the tip of a wood spoon and fezzes.
  • Pre-heat oven at 200C
  • Coat slightly the eggplant slices with flour and deep fry until golden in both sides. 2-3 minutes each side. This is the most tedious part. But it is worth it. After removing form the pan, use kitchen paper to absorbe excess oil.
  • In an oven dish (metal/glass), pour a bit of the tomate sauce. Add a layer of eggplant, add slices of mozarella, add some basil/oregano, grated parmigiano . Repeat: tomate, eggplant, mozarella, basil/oregano, grated parmigiano.
  • Bake in the oven at 200C for around 30 minutes of golden on top.

Really tasty!!!
