Tech News
- Nvidia has outbid Intel to buy Mellanox for $6.9 billion. (Tom's Hardware)
This is a good and logical fit because... Um, because... NO! THIS MAKES NO SENSE! WTF NV?
- Jealous that all the bad attention is going to Europe - and America - and China - and Japan and Australia - Thailand is proposing new legislation to make service providers criminally liable for their end users' acts of lèse-majesté. (TechDirt)
Also, if you google lèse-majesté, all the top hits relate to Thailand. That country has a serious bee up its butt.
- Reinstall your Linux server over SSH.
Yes, that involves reinstalling the SSH daemon, so this is just a tiny bit tricky.
- CSS is studying trigonometry. (ZDNet)
It looks like this is mostly to generate waveforms to control animation functions. Currently you need to use JavaScript for that.
- MikroTik has more switches where that $270 10GbE model came from. (Serve the Home)
The CRS312-4C+8XG is 12-port 10Gbase-T managed switch with SFP+ support as well on four ports. That makes it an easy drop in to an existing network, unlike pure SFP+ switches.
No pricing just yet.
- Linux 5.1 may support Optane modules as system RAM. (Phoronix)
I'd be interested to see OS-level generalised NVM support, but this is a useful step.

Although they diversified into general datacenter networking, that is to say basically 10GE, Mellanox is the king of Infiniband. So, they have historic ties with HPC, which is where Nvidia sells all those GPUs and connector-less video cards. So I think that is the connection. But I don't know about any details.

"This is not a guide for newbies. I'm deliberately not giving you commands you
can copy and paste. If you can't figure out what to do exactly without
handholding, this script is not for you."
Oh, like making new Usenet newsgroups. I remember doing that once back in the day--the instructions were what I assume were deliberately vague in one specific place that led a lot of people to fail their attempts in the exact same way.

Pete, it does make some sense from an HPC diversification perspective. But I'm surprised Intel let it get away.

Yanno, I think I have all of Dirty Pair, Raw, on VHS somewhere. Makes me want to look for a fansub now.

I have the R2 DVDs. Started fansubbing it and posting the videos here, years ago. Then found I had tripped over a bug in the subtitle translation script and there were words missing. Didn't have the energy to go back and fix it all.

You can also get it all from Amazon in four box sets - one for the movies, one for the OAVs, and two for the TV series.
