Strange things do happen when the hardware fails... indeed the systemd open question at the end is mysterious.

Interesting how much extra performance you can shave off the GPU by going back to how the hardware works.

Confused? Well, not surprising we mostly use those terms with very lax definitions.

Sure you can expect mice, but raccoons? This is a funny finding... well scary if you're responsible of this machine room.

Another type of devices where clearly they could be repairable and batteries could be swappable if manufacturers would put care in the design. At least, Fairphone is showing it's doable.

Considering using a server rack for a homelab? This is a nice tutorial with plenty of advices.

Good exploration of the CPU architectures we have nowadays, and why the RISC vs CISC debate doesn't make sense anymore.

Interesting technology. Could have a real impact regarding VR applications.

Looks like Valve is delivering on its promise to do further iterations on their hardware. Looks like they paid further attention to repairability which is very welcome. It'll put KDE products in an even better light now. 😉

Now this could turn out to be interesting. To be confirmed when this get closer to production (if it does), especially on the power consumption side. This will be the important factor to make this viable I think.

Can't say I learned much but that was a very neat refresher. It's very well done, so if you never dabbled in the basics of how the hardware or the kernel work I strongly recommend reading it.

Looks like an interesting device to tinker with.

Very thorough overview on how registers are used when you get closer to the hardware. Very good resource to use as reference.

This is an interesting new family of hardware. Definitely to keep an eye on for homelabs.

Oh this is really neat! This is a good way to visualize how it evolved over time, I find the period starting in 2005 especially interesting.

Somewhat in-depth introduction to how GPUs work internally.

Now that looks like a very interesting modular laptop. I'd be interested to test it and would love to see some KDE stuff installed on it by default. ;-)
