@paulgatling i have bought the machine at @vikings with their standard case. (phanteks entoo pro 2)
The noise level of my config is almost zero, once booted.
Obviously depends on cpu config, extensions, drives and load.
Power draw according to the bmc in the machine is between 50W and 100W depending on load. Typically around 65W in normal use
Our instance is not an instance where you can sign up a guest account. Perhaps we will change this in the distant future. Stay tuned.
We recently announced that we won't post on Twitter.com any more.⚰️
We've been running our own #Mastodon instance in parallel, with a brief interruption (where all posts were deleted), for a few years now. Before that we ran GNU Social, which we abandoned in favor of Mastodon, and for a while before that we had a GNU Social guest account on the defunct quitter.se.
Let's hope that the newfound popularity of Mastodon will improve some parts I don't like. The update process for instance. /thum

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
@fsf I couldn't find FSF coffee mugs and glassware in your shop - recently broke my FSFE cup which I wanted to replace with one minus the "E" 🙂 Consider selling some?
3mdeb is working on getting KGPE-D16/D8 support back into Coreboot, to bring new features and fixes. (Read https://u.fsf.org/3lp) These motherboards run almost all of the FSF's infrastructure and can run an entirely free bios with LibreBoot or a free CoreBoot build. @3mdeb_com
Wondering if the glue would become softer if the CPU was heated before attempting to lift the spreader.
How much heat can the CPU withstand before joining Valhalla?
#openPOWER #POWER9 CPU heat spreader removed.
CPU was destroyed in the process. Removal of said heat spreader is probably straightforward if you can guarantee a max. depth of cut.
Many thanks to Vikings @vikings for donating prizes a server to help us run the conference successfully! #LibrePlanet 2022!
