One of the easiest ways to stand out when writing or creating videos or posting: DONT. USE. AI. Suddenly you sound distinctively different from 80%+ ppl who do and output the same verbose + nicely formatted stuff that feels all the same (+ most ppl stop paying attention midway)

How does Oxide think about the supply chain? FAQ Friday #54

A big thank you to @simonwillison.net for joining me and @bcantrill.bsky.social on Monday to discuss some major events in the world of AI in the past few weeks: the OpenAI-escaped Hugging Face intrusion, and the Kimi K3 frontier-class open-weights model. Also: Turkey attacks, Pope Leo, & the Zizians

btw iddqd is mythos approved 👍 it found one DoS pattern where while deserializing from serde, we would preallocate based on an untrusted size_hint

Pretty cool how the @oxide.computer homepage responds to different screen sizes by showing/hiding the number of racks

Damn, @oxide.computer getting their hands on Mythos 5 is so cool. Can’t wait for what it will or won’t find. oxide.computer/blog/oxide-a...

Boy, Hubris sure has had a lot of recent commits that fix nearly-impossible-to-trigger off-by-one bugs! I wonder why…

What is the lifespan of the Oxide Cloud Computer? FAQ Friday #53

Gosh our supply chain/logistics people are incredible

Meet @bcantrill.bsky.social's least favorite slushie flavor. Also his OSFC talk "I have come to bury the BIOS, not to open it" is a great deep-dive on why there's no BIOS in the @oxide.computer system - www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWDD...

How are we able to air cool the rack? FAQ Friday #52

Release 20 is LIVE & bringing even more network performance. Jumbo frame support for external networks ( already used internally) raises instance MTU from 1500 to 8500 bytes, substantial for network IO-intensive workloads, plus additional self-service update and block storage services goodness.

How is Oxide different from hyperscaler infrastructure? FAQ Friday #51

Tonight at the @oaklandballers.bsky.social game (sponsored by @oxide.computer!), my 19-year-old son and I will live out a shared dream: to go at it in the Knockerball Knockout in the 5th inning break. Come for the baseball -- but stay to watch me get knocked on my ass! tickets.oaklandballers.com

When you’re building distributed systems from the ground up, every layer is a place where you can make the network faster. But every slowdown is a problem you own. sgkaram.bsky.social just pushed his first (of many) Oxide blogs on tuning network performance across an Oxide system. buff.ly/XV9kmIW

We love Rust for how much the compiler helps enforce safety. But sometimes it's up to us to uphold the complex--and often unclear--expectations of what constitutes safety on our own. @sunshowers.io, joined me and @bcantrill.bsky.social to talk about the hardest type of unsafe Rust.

First day back at work from paternity leave. I created a new Kubernetes cluster running on @oxide.computer that runs my: - Personal Website - Personal Data Server (PDS) - Tangled Knot Love seeing our integrations come together. I gotta write a blog post about it all.

ICYMI, @sunshowers.io had a terrific blog entry last week -- and today, she joins @ahl.bsky.social and me on Oxide and Friends to discuss the blog entry, the work behind it, and the reaction to it. Join us, 5p Pacific today! discord.gg/QrcKGTTPrF?e...
