why did they call it “CXL.mem” when “Volatile Memory Express” was right there?

one thing about my cat which i think is pretty cool is that he does actually stop what he’s doing if you say “STOP!” at him in a loud voice. but he does start doing it again a few minutes later.

the “C” in “CPU” stands for the C Programming Language. CPUs are called that because they are a hardware implementation of the C Abstract Machine as specified by ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 22/WG 14.

As part of our annual @oxide.computer meetup, I added three new logos to our wall honoring our forebears; how many can you name?

“NVMe form factors are second nature to us, but it’s easy to forget the average person probably only knows about M.2, U.2, and U.3. And PCIe CEM add-in cards, of course.”

we all must learn that we live in a bubble in our own unique ways

aww, OWC will sell you 128TB of flash in a briefcase shaped computer with a handle on top, but it's all U.2

(it is in fact targeted for "video teams" though)

oh i bet it's HighPoint who will sell you the closest thing to this

...also U.2. dang. EDSFF still really hasn't reached the commercial video power user market yet. wow. clearly i live in a bubble!

the fact that Apple charges an extra $20 for the black trackpad is blatant anti-goth-gf discrimination!

you can simply have a systemd service whose job is just to restart other systemd services. whatever. nothing matters.

what's so wonderful about systemd is that it gives you all these incredibly useful tools that you can use for fixing all the problems which you only have because of systemd: github.com/hawkw/flake/...

the problem with the Apple Health “sleep score” that gaslights you because they read a paper about the placebo effect is that eventually, you realize that anything worse than ~95% means that you’ll feel like shit and your whole day is ruined
