For some context: @hswaw is a volunteer-ran non-profit community of tinkerers. This Supermicro is our best gear, and it supports not just our services, but those of 3 other hackerspaces. And soon, it will support @mykoryza -- a non-profit that aims to host web services (such as Fediverse) for the public.
If that's something you'd like to support, you can :)
This is a long shot, but: does anyone have access to a Supermicro H11DST-B *version 2.x* motherboard?
We (@hswaw) suspect that the only important difference with 1.x is a larger NOR flash for the firmware. If so, a little hot air action would allow an upgrade to Zen 2 CPUs, and get big perf/power-efficiency gains on a budget.
Boosts much appreciated!
Friends! I'm looking for remote work in:
- systems programming of all sorts
- distributed systems
- performance engineering
- next-gen tooling and infra broadly speaking
I'm a software engineer with 20 years of experience. More about my work: https://radex.io/hire-me/
I'm very rarely available for work! You will not regret hiring me ☺️
(Boosts and introductions much appreciated!)
I don't know what y'all do for fun but I started writing a C compiler in my RISC-V macroassembler.
So far, I sketched out a tokenizer. Parsing is next!
I'm looking for a C compiler that:
- is simpler and smaller than TinyCC
- is capable of compiling TinyCC
- is written in *very* simple C or a language simpler than C
- can plausibly support risc-v (I can add codegen myself, just can't have deeply hardcoded x86 assumptions)
- has a FOSS license
- is not GNU Mes
Does anything matching these criteria exist?
Time for a coming out:
I'm a Nix user now.
I use nix-darwin on my laptop. My home server runs NixOS. My Raspberry Pis run NixOS.
I help manage and maintain ~13 more NixOS machines at @hswaw. A few of them are entirely my fault.
And if you ask me about it, I might even try to evangelize you!
Look what they've done to me! It took them 6 years to convert me, sure, but they got me!
