Finally, the separate box of POWER9 upgrades appears. These are for the dual socket 144 thread Talos II here at home (the LC-922 are in colo). Relocation has turned up a lot of missing hardware, very pleased about this turn of events.

So, the long lost box contains:
- 4x Samsung 883-DCT 2TB SSDs for local storage ZFS pool (with 2x Optane NVMe cache)
- 3x PM863a 240GB SSDs for the OS
- always more RAM
- an OcuLink 4x to U.2 cable w/ Optane drive floating around somewhere
- Mellanox 50GbE QSFP28 NIC for RDMA fun

@dexter finally, we can continue the project with appropriate hardware

Anyone tried one of the Waveshare 7.5inch E-Paper HAT Display units?

I'm planning to DIY an eBook reader with the kids - think 3D printed case, eink display, RPi running Linux & booting straight into an open source reader.

Not sure what these displays are like to use though, & given their low price I'm suspicious.

Is it just me, or is it impossible to get a decent vertical mouse?

I've owned a couple of the cheap ones, and the scroll wheels failed after ~6 months. Splurged on a Logitech Lift, and the scroll wheel still works great over a year later - but the left click switch is failing (I can hear/feel it click, but it drops the input 10% of the time).

Anyone out there have any suggestions? Has to be a vertical mouse due to accumulated damage from 30+ years of using "flat" mice. I don't need any bells and whistles (extra buttons, trackball, joystick, etc) but I won't complain if they're present. I use a mouse 10+ hours a day, so durability is important!

Not sure if their software is Free Code. But You might find this relevant to your work on SX design @smallcircles.

Have you ever thought to yourself "wow, I have these (CPUID|MIDR|marchid) values and have no idea what they mean"?

Now there's a Rust library to solve your weirdly specific problem!

Introducing #libcpuname, a Rust crate with no dependencies that can translate between those values and the name of the referred-to vendor, chip, and core!

Currently supports x86, ARM, and RISC-V lookups.

Add it to your project now: https://crates.io/crates/libcpuname

(first crate please be nice)

Shop keeper Phyllis used her computer system to automate book keeping, taking the time to prepare from five hours to five minutes.

Having learned the system down to hardware level, Phyllis is now building an electronics kit. Her aim? Build a computer herself; Or as we called it an “electronic gadget”.

What Phyllis doesn’t say is she was a maths graduate from University and “#Cypher Clerk” in “Hut 5” at #BletchleyPark during the war.

The”Official Secrets Act” was in force in 1983 😂🤣☺️
