“fill angle” under infill settings.

Plasma 6 and Wayland are working great under Tumbleweed for me on my 2-in-1 laptop, but there’s still no usable virtual keyboard package like Maliit in Factory.

Yep. I can get ASA down to 12% with an ambient 50%RH using that method.

There are some models out there for wedges with reverse Bowden fittings so you can keep it cracked open all the time.

Try running your dryer with the lid propped open a bit. Most Sunlu dryers don’t have a way to get rid of the humid air pulled out of the filament.

Most of that cost is modem I’m sure. The ESP32, RP2040, and all the support hardware around both add under $5 to the BOM.

There are a bunch of boards with a combo of RP2040 and ESP32, probably because the RP2040 has the PIO accelerators and the ESP32 is much more rigid with I/O. If anything, I’d ditch the ESP32 on this board if your application doesn’t need WiFi or Bluetooth.

Edit: I didn’t realize the ESP32 is the -C3. It’s no slouch, but your code shares the single risc-v core with the radio stack. So it’s better off here as a dedicated radio processor and letting the RP2040 run your application if you need more grunt than polling a sensor every so often.

Next week: Fedora meets a new friend named Lennart while on her way to Multiuser Mountain. Will they be able to cross the init bridge without being caught by Sammy the Systemd Hating Troll?

Scratch machine to test Ansible playbooks for maintaining and restoring your other servers.

SDR? I thought it just had a CC1101 for sub-GHz digital and an NFC/RFID module? CC1101 is very flexible but it doesn’t do direct IQ sampling.

So say we all.

That’s exactly what they are, but instead of connecting to a VAX at the other end of a modem they talk to a shell attached to a pseudo terminal device on the same machine.

SMM GO BRRR

Sure, no prob.

Hey, that’s awesome! I like the random holdoff for address assignment, the simple workload distribution mechanism, the awareness in the writeup that I2C was a low effort communications mechanism, not letting perfection get in the way of getting the job done, and the cushions on the enclosure with colors that are a nod to the canonical X-MP skins. Great job, Derek!

Every time.

Every time someone posts their homebrew cluster in any public forum, someone has to point out how useless it is compared to state of the art HPC. It doesn’t matter if it’s a pile of dumpster’d thin clients or a PCB full of CH32V003s, it’s always somehow misguided because there’s no RDMA, or high radix switch fabric, or enough horsepower to run weather models.

You act like the project’s creator doesn’t know this is a toy and thinks it’s a TOP500 contender, and make some wild suggestions that they trash everything and buy FPGAs, GPUs, EPYCs, and a bottomless pit of cloud cycles. Good for you, you also realized that Cray isn’t going to base Slingshot 2 on I2C. Pat yourself on the back, you earned it.

Since we’re slinging unsolicited advice, here’s a bit more: if someone shares their accomplishment, regardless of how fundamentally flawed it is, it costs you nothing and is far more helpful to say “Hey, that’s awesome! I like how you did $FEATURE. Great job!” and stop right there than to be condescending and nitpicky.

25 years ago I worked at a university computer lab that was Windows-heavy because Dell wouldn’t stop donating PCs. However we didn’t have enough UNIX workstations as we had to pay for Sun / HP / IBM out of pocket. Converting them to Linux workstations would be nice because the Dells had more grunt than the aging RISC workstations.

I proposed to switch a few desks worth to Debian and was given the go-ahead. After a few days learning how to preseed an installation image and getting a PXE server going I had 8 machines running CDE just like the AIX and HP/UX boxes. Users that didn’t need one of the commercial engineering applications tied to one OS or another didn’t notice any difference between the free (now as in both speech and beer) Dells and the proprietary workstations.

A couple of months after we got the pilot rolling, the university’s IT director came to check it out and told me we’re on the “lunatic fringe” for deploying an OS developed by volunteers, but otherwise offered approval as long as we could maintain security and availability.

Now every student in our local school district gets issued a Chromebook running Linux under the hood. Who’s the lunatic now?

Sometimes EDID eeproms are writable from i2c-dev… And sometimes VRM configuration ports too…

IME is even worse than that. It runs on a supervisor processor in the chipset that has privileged access to the memory, peripherals, and CPU, and can run when the rest of the system is powered off. IME is how Intel AMT can serve as a KVM-over-IP, and just because you don’t have a CPU with Vpro doesn’t mean all the components aren’t there for an exploited or backdoored ME firmware to remotely log your console or inject keystrokes.

If I couldn’t wear fuzzy socks and sweaters at work I’d just quit.

There should be a setting in BIOS for sleep state that lets you choose between “Windows sleep” and “Linux sleep”. I know I have to set that to “Linux sleep” on my P14s gen 2 AMD or it wakes up immediately after going to sleep. Updating BIOS and the other firmwares might help too.

However I have a gen 7 from work running Windows that often fails to wake up from sleep or hibernation, and I have to resort to poking the reset button to get it to respond. Coworkers report similar troubles so I think it may be a cursed model.

That said, I’m running OpenSuSE Tumbleweed KDE on my P14s and an X1 gen 5. Everything works smooth out if the box on both machines except for the fingerprint sensor on the gen 5 which doesn’t have mainline fprintd support in any distro.

I never used Itanium, but I’m guessing that the Alpha workstations also ran x86 code faster than the Itaniums. fx!32 was one of DEC’s marvels that they completely forgot to market.
