Ein neuer Morgen im #Altmühltal

Die heutige Strecke führt mich über #Beilngries, #Berching, #Mühlhausen, #Sengenthal, #Neumarkt in der #Oberpfalz, #Burthann, #Wendelstein bis kurz vor #Nürnberg.

Ich bin sehr gespannt. Bisher war das Altmühltal angenehm…

Im Dezember ist in den USA ein Durchbruch in der Kernfusion gelungen. Schaffen wir die Energiewende mit dieser Technologie?

Willkommen #Dezember mit Blick vom #Wendelstein #Bayern #Wetter #Winter

Work is proceeding nicely at the #wendelstein #fusion #experiment!

The arc detection boards are due to being tested tomorrow, after the #data #server was successfully moved to a permanent virtual machine! More news on that soon.

For now, have another screenshot of a new, gorgeous #grafana dashboard for the devices. We figured out that you can use repeats on entire rows, which is wonderful for what we want to do!

Today at the #wendelstein #stellarator #fusion #experiment:

Documentation! And learning to not just write it, but also test it.

TL;DR, let someone else go through it. The second pair of eyes makes very different mistakes than yours.

We are setting up a permanent server for the sensor boards that we have been working on for the past few months - finally, a proper place to put the #grafana and #postgresql #timescaledb instances and the #ruby backend code.

In order to make this repeatable, we wrote a page or two in the #gitlab wiki of the project about how to go about it, and our supervisor set up the server by following said wiki…

And immediately things didn’t line up quite right.
The server didn’t have internet, so we had to figure out how to download the .deb packages instead - same for the Ruby bundler packages!
Then some issues with the versioning, and setting up Timescale…

Nothing insurmountable, but if we hadn’t been there in person, it might not have worked as smoothly.

So, even if you write documentation, make sure someone else tries to go through it on their own, and figure out where things get stuck!

Pictures of the new Grafana #dataviz panels coming up soon - I gotta say, Grafana 9 looks very lovely!

I suppose it’s time for an #introduction as well!

We’re Xasin, Neira and Mesh, a bunch of furry nerds, enjoying their OpenSource shenanigans on side projects such as a DIY Smart Home, while working on sensor and monitoring equipment for science!

In regards to our scientific career, we are finishing up an M.Sc. in Energy Technology, with the intent to delve deeper into topics related to #nuclear powerplant design.

Currently, we are pursuing an internship at the #wendelstein #fusion experiment, where we are developing a fast power loss detection system of the ECRH-Heating of the plasma!
Attached below is a screenshot of one of the #grafana panels for the sensor system :>

After that, we have a Technical Studentship at #cern planned, where we will get the chance to work on the Magnetic Protection system for the #HighLuminosity upgrade.

On this account, we’ll be posting science-related updates about work and other topics, so currently about the Wendelstein.

There’s another account that will feature more of the personal tinkering at @xaseiresh :>

It is lovely to meet you all!
