**Fooling Go's X.509 Certificate Verification**

New post on why verifying X.509 certificates in Go sometimes fails with seemingly identical CA certificates, and why different behavior in tools like OpenSSL further complicates the matter.

The Amp Hour is always good, but this episode with @chrisgammell.bsky.social and @ericmigi.com is truly excellent. They do a great job of articulating the challenges, trade-offs, and, ultimately, the joy of building consumer hardware products that you can call "done". Give it a listen!

Resistors are easy, capacitors are bit harder, coils are 'magic', but with a bit of practice that magic becomes ritual and ritual should be at least reproducible to the point that the part becomes a manageable quantity.

this is an incredible quote in the comments.

It's always kind of interesting to see people in very public influential leadership positions have extremely emotional reactions to competition and objectively minor critiques. Outside of it being textbook poor leadership, it also makes you wonder how they even make it through an average day.

**Making Ferrite Core Inductors at Home**

New post in which I walk through how to make inductors, and how the construction of an inductor impacts its attributes, particularly in the case of using a core material with high magnetic permeability.

my grandmother somewhat regularly pops up on LinkedIn and drops a comment on one of my blog posts to the effect of β€œI understood none of this, but I love you very much”, and I for one think that’s pretty freaking awesome.
