Now's a good time to mention this neat little box I've been helping with... It's not yet ready for prime time, but we have GPS, PPS, and NTP, working on SyncE

2 GPUs 1 Pi What I found surprised me. This isn't as insane as you think it is...

A good time to ensure you have a stable holdover clock, and a way to switch NTP servers in case the one you rely on is down. But this is rough, losing power to the clocks that make time for US services... https://groups.google.com/a/list.nist.gov/g/internet-time-service/c/o0dDDcr1a8I

Now that Nvidia GPUs run on the Raspberry Pi, I want to see if they're good for Jellyfin transcoding (e.g. take your old 3060 and throw it on a Pi for a little #homelab media server...).

The RAM shortage comes for us all:

Raspberry Pi prices back on the rise due to AI companies driving up DRAM prices. One more domino to fall to the AI bubble inflation pressures: https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/1gb-raspberry-pi-5-now-available-at-45-and-memory-driven-price-rises/

It comforts me to know whether you're a 1-2 person scrappy small startup or literally the world's most valuable company, your user guides will cover only the basics and when end users test your hardware, they'll have the same reaction: _Why do the marketing numbers lie?_ (Except the better scrappy startups don't have a marketing budget, so their numbers don't lie, they just don't exist yet ;)

Woah. AmpereOne A192-32X (fastest Arm CPU available to normal humans) is available in motherboard bundle from NewEgg for $4799: https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813140167 Annoyingly, populating all those DDR5 RAM slots is gonna be pricey.

Judging by how many #itwasdns shirts I've sold this morning... Is the Cloudflare outage DNS-related too?

All Intel Arc GPUs run on the Raspberry Pi now (including the Arc Pro B50, pictured below). See how: (The same 4-line change to the Linux kernel enables the cards on RISC-V and many other Arm systems, too!).
