Technology — a classification, not a measurement. An on-box language model (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-FP8, prompt version 1) read this channel’s own recent posts on 27 September 2026 and assigned it the closest of 31 fixed categories, at 99% confidence. This is a model’s judgement about what the channel is likely to be about, not a fact this register measured the way a subscriber count or a view count is measured — it can be revised on a later pass, and it carries no weight anywhere else on this page. How this classification works, and why it has no browse page of its own yet.
Growth
10 measurements spanning 53 days, net +15. Dots are measurements; the straight line between them is drawn to join them, not to claim we know the path taken in between — snapshots are recorded only when a count changes, so gaps mean “no change observed”, never “interpolated”. The vertical axis spans 87–106 and does not start at zero.

Engagement
16 posts held, back to 29 May 2026 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 page of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 16 posts for this entry, the most recent from 8 August 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
Reaction mix
38 reactions across 10 posts, in 7 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 36.8% of them.

Custom emoji. 2 of the rows above are Telegram custom emoji, which the public preview renders as an element carrying only a numeric id — no character, and no image we can reach. The id is printed as-is rather than substituted with a look-alike glyph, because a stand-in would be our invention showing where a measurement should be. The counts beside them are Telegram’s.
No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 10 of the 16 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 38 reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 16 most recent posts we hold, published 29 May 2026 to 8 August 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.
slapping some bullshit onto my DGX Sparks
PTM7950 phase-change thermal pads for the GB10 and the ConnectX-7 NIC, they're supposed to liquefy above 45 degrees
Upsiren UTP-8 thermal putty for the VRAM... I guess it's just a squishy thermal pad alternative. LPDDR5x ain't getting that hot anyway
previously, I would have the CPU hitting 96 degrees while the GPU eats 60W. now the CPU stays at 90 degrees even when the GP…
decided to vibe code some bullshit today (a wysiwyg receipt editor that also gives you the ESC/POS bytes to print on a receipt printer)
i gotta say, this is very impressive for a single prompt on a model that runs locally (*), it's generally functional and i see no major issues

tp-link offering 40% off on wifi 7 APs and multi-gig/PoE switches if you send in a picture of your old networking gear with serial numbers
tempting...
(also free 8-port unmanaged GbE switch if you buy more than $299 USD of crap)

anyway i'm in china again so i'm just ordering random $1 type-c cables, trying to find something that matches up to the magical $1 $2 cables i bought 8 years ago (which still work perfectly well btw)
and it's really stupid that they're still so AC-averse, because they can install balcony solar easily, AND their electricity prices go negative precisely when the sun is shining the brightest and the weather is the hottest
something cool: Yantai University apparently has a thing with China Mobile where students/staff can use their own 5G connections to access the school intranet (without a separate VPN)

Showing the 12 most recent of 16 posts we hold for @rubberduckybathtub. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Mentions
Named by 5 registered channels — every channel on the register whose own posts have named this one, by its current username or any other username it currently holds, merged from two separately captured readings of the same fact so a namer caught by only one of them is not missed and a namer both caught is not counted twice. A username this channel has since dropped is not matched — that handle may belong to someone else now, and crediting today’s namer to yesterday’s owner would misattribute it.
Named by
Channels on the register whose posts name this channel's handle.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
