SMIC, the largest foundry in China, is test-driving one of China's first domestic immersion DUV lithography tools. The system was developed by Shanghai Yuliangsheng Technology Co., which is linked to Huawei's SiCarrier, and is believed to be a significant part of China's effort to become self-sufficient in wafer fab equipment.
China's Cyberspace Administration of China has banned major tech companies like ByteDance and Alibaba from buying Nvidia's new RTX Pro 6000D AI chips. This move, which comes after a similar ban on Nvidia's H20 chips, aims to boost China's domestic semiconductor industry. Homegrown companies like Huawei and Cambricon already produce comparable chips.

Wei Shaojun, vice president of China Semiconductor Industry Association, and a senior Chinese academic and government adviser, has called on China and other Asian countries to ditch using Nvidia GPUs for AI training and inference.

GamersNexus's documentary on GPU smuggling into China, showing literally every step of the supply chain with people on camera willing to talk, is BACK ONLINE after Bloomberg's attempt to silence them via a bogus copyright claim.
It's here! Watch it, because it's sat at 0 views for two weeks thanks to Bloomberg News. Even if you just play it in the background, let's get this thing showing up in YouTube's algorithm again:

I have finally moved over to Linux as my primary platform. In many ways it is like coming home, as I loved working on UNIX machines in the past. Of course, I have been using Linux as a secondary OS for a long time, but I finally made the switch. Microsoft cancelling Windows 10 and the direction Windows 11 is going was just too much for me.
@span ruario helped the transition, by making it easy for me to work with multiple concurrent @span Vivaldi installs.
That is a must for me as I test a lot of builds at the same time.
Scientists have found critical gaps in Nasa’s development of space life support systems that could prevent the United States from competing with China in the pursuit of long-term manned space exploration and habitation.
Question for the #MastoAdmin / #LoadBalancer / #Hosting / #Technology collective hive mind:
I'm re-building a lot of the architecture for my Mastodon instance as well as some other services. Everything will be VM's in Proxmox (Or LXC Containers but for the purposes of this they're effectively the same thing). I need a highly available load balancer solution (Preferably with a nice way to sync the configuration across multiple instances of the load balancer software that isn't just a git repo ideally) where I can define a series of IP Addresses and ports to map to specific FQDN's. LetsEncrypt support is also important.
Right now I'm using NGINX (Or a series of NGINX's in front of one another) but it's not the nicest experience and I'm aware there may well be better options out there so keen to know what the standard is / best option might be.
I am aware of HAProxy but haven't used it before and have looked at Traefik but it looks like that's more for docker containers / K8's..?
