Oxide and Friends | For Want of a Resistor
When the supply chain crunch catches up with you, sometimes a tiny resistor the size of a fleck of pepper is the difference between a world-class computer and... e-waste. Members of the Oxide opera...

Absolutely crazy OxF yesterday with the @oxide.computer team and @bcantrill.bsky.social. The supply chain is a mess and a critical part for us went from a few bucks to, a few hundred, to unobtainable. What followed was some amazing luck, followed by bad luck, followed by good luck, and on and on...

I am surely not alone in having family over the weekend hitting me up asking "should I be worried about extinction?" As a response, I have found that my anti-Doomer talk from @monktoberfest.com 2023 (three very long years ago!) remains current and accessible: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQfJ...
How am I going to get this thing home… See what the Oxide rack looks like in your space- rack-in-place.kevin-spring507.chatgpt.site
I’ll have to ask my wife if keeping a rack next to the future babies changing table is reasonable, but I think it looks nice.
Fact check: true (Saturn Hypersystems would eventually become @oxide.computer)

With Oxide, your compute gets more valuable over time, not less. The same Rack Model 0 we launched in 2023 now supports more than 2x the vCPUs per rack with our latest compute sleds and system version 21 which adds support for Zen 5c processors.

iDRAC is definitely trauma-inducing, and is, I'm sure, one of the traumas that informs the most-trauma-informed firm I've seen in a long time: @oxide.computer .
Some artwork prep for upcoming event. I've always had the habit of choosing colours that cannot be mistaken for the final artwork to avoid print mistakes.
Today @ahl.bsky.social and I are going to be joined by @sgkaram.bsky.social from @oxide.computer's product assurance team, who put in front of himself a tremendous challenge: could we somehow emulate an entire Oxide rack? And... how faux can we go?! Join us, 5p Pacific! discord.gg/QrcKGTTPrF?e...

I was chatting with @withenoughcoffee.bsky.social about @oxide.computer's energy efficiency compared to traditional servers. She mentioned that this should be a bigger deal to the world as we have data centers with inefficient gear consuming more power, generating more heat, and making more noise.
