#OpenSource ist längst nicht nur ein Fall für Software! Auch was Hardware angeht, braucht es offene, europäische Alternativen.

Beim 18. Embedded Talk an der @FAU tauschte sich das Team der Open Chip Design Challenge, #OCDCpro, mit Expert*innen aus Wissenschaft und Industrie aus.

Klares Fazit: Auch in Open-Source-Hardware liegt enormes Potenzial. Umso wichtiger ist es, junge Menschen für diese Berufssparte zu begeistern.

I'd like an opinion from everyone. I ordered a Star Labs StarFighter some time ago, which included a Ryzen 7000 series CPU. While still perfectly good, it's a bit on the "older" side now given what's out now.

Star Labs emailed people over the weekend to let them know that while newer Ryzen chips are unlikely to support running @coreboot any time soon, they're going to begin shipping laptops with Intel's latest 285H CPU. And they've given me the opportunity to amend my order and swap to one of those.

My priority is battery life and efficiency. I'm not a content creator, and so I don't really need to swap to Intel for that extra bit of performance. But I also know that generational leaps make a large difference. Should I swap from a Ryzen 7000 series CPU to Intel's latest? I'm leaning towards doing so.

Another hard disk to replace: the two Seagate disks miserably failed last month due to heat. I had around 50 errors per day only on these disks with read, write and checksums! 🚨 and `smartctl` was always reporting temperature and unrecoverable errors 😰

Thank god I have a #ZFS pool with raid2-0 and I could replace the disks without fuss. Last month, I replaced one Seagate disk with a Toshiba N300, which was cooler and silent!

Did I mention no data loss?
/me is happy!

A screenshot of a terminal running `zpool status` Linux command, it is showing a disk being replaced, and the pool resilvering.

Ubuntu Adds Official Support for NVIDIA Jetson AI Modules

Canonical has announced that it now ‘officially supports’ Ubuntu on NVIDIA Jetson, a series of computing modules designed for AI and machine learning applications. The General Availability (GA) of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS for the NVIDIA Jetson Orin brings “optimized performance, out-of-the-box compatibility, and an easy pathway to high-performance AI solutions for AI developers everywhere“, say Canonical. Offering Ubuntu certified images for cutting-edge hardware is something Canonical has been ramping up, and doing so for NVIDIA Jetson modules should provide a lure to developers wanting to leverage them for edge AI, robotics and other uses. Our collaboration with NVIDIA represents a :sys_more_orange:

💻 Hello Old Friend, Talos II 💻

This was my first IBM POWER9 system, acquired in 2020 and built for home/desk use. Dual socket SMT4 Sforza, 144 threads, 256-512GB RAM, various storage/net/accelerators over the years. [1]

As expected, I fell in love and acquired four IBM Power System L922-2U [2], which are presently in the colo awaiting network rebuild (remote hands this time).

The Talos II has served a variety of purposes, with most of its time running FreeBSD PPC64le (&a bit of PPC64be for fun). Sometimes also Linux, back when I was tearing into qemu code for compiler optimization hypothesis testing, RTX GPU passthrough, +validating assumptions about qemu on P9/le handling amd64 & arm64 emulation.

So, out of storage! Into the rack! New user accounts! But first it needs updated OS drives (the 3x 64GB SATADOM in Raid-Z1 need to be repurposed), and a NIC (25G-DP CX-5 or X710-DA4).

A front view from one of Eva's "HomeLab spill-over into the colo"... server racks, with a pink overlay box indicating the location of three IBM LC-922 Power9 systems. Above those are various Dell PowerEdge servers and an Arista DCS-7060CX-32S switch (ports facing rear). Located at the base of the rack is an APC UPS and APC ATS, handling automated failover of facility / battery power sources for casually "some-9s of uptime" high-availability compliance.
