@dexter well this is nice to see again, home sweet home in the Talos II bootloader - with a FreeBSD ISO installer ...
Left: OpenBMC interface w/ iKVM
Right: standard term via SSH to BMC and "obmc-console-client"

Update on open source hardware Powerpc notebook
https://www.powerpc-notebook.org/2024/11/major-improvements-for-powerboard-tyche-despite-adversity-but-there-is-still-work-to-be-done/
The hardware designer who created our Powerboard Tyche worked between April and July on one of the three prototypes, focusing on fixing the board firmware. These fixes required a series of checks to determine if any additional adjustments were needed for the board itself, and a complete analysis of electronic signals was performed. This analysis […]
@koakuma @techokami also #UltraSparcT2 as cool as it was at release (including dual 10Gbit-NICs and hardware RNG on die) has a lot of things noone would want to deal with in 2024 (i.e. DDR2-FBDIMMs).
Pretty shure @stman could write an entire curriculum on why #SPARC, #PowerPC, #s390x and even #ARM / #ARM64 should not be pursued and why #mc68k died alongside the unfixable-by-design mess that is #ix86 & #amd64.
Look, I'd love to get my hands on some Sun SPARC Hardware but aside from making my room hot and noisy there isn't much to justify blowing likely over half a Euro per hour (electricity price: € 0,40/kWh) just to have it up and running, as compared to a #PiCluster like those @geerlingguy had built multiple times are more practical.
And that's just bottom-billing, low-cost ARM SoC tech designed for a price tag (to the point that until the #Pi5 they neither included a power button nor #RTC onboard!
A few more #Power and Power-related t-shirts from my collection :-) One is from #Genesi, another one from #NVIDIA, and one from the #OpenPOWER Foundation. All document the history of #IBM POWER!
Recently I posted about two of my Power t-shirts. Many people responded. Some wanted to get one of the t-shirts from me, others asked me what else do I have. I cannot give you the t-shirts, but I can show you a few more :-) I must admit that only one of them has Power printed on it, but the other two are also Power-related. Genesi t-shirt The oldest t-shirt is from Genesi.
I love t-shirts, especially those that you’d call #logowear. But it’s not the kind of big name #fashion logos that I’m referring to. Rather, it’s logowear from my favorite IT companies:

I love t-shirts, especially those that you’d call logowear. But it’s not the kind of big name fashion logos that I’m referring to. Rather, it’s logowear from my favorite IT companies. I have well over a hundred of these t-shirts, and except when I’m preparing for a special event, I pull a random t-shirt from my collection. Yesterday I happened to wear a power.org t-shirt, while today I’m wearing an OpenPOWER t-shirt, two POWER t-shirts in two days :-) Both of these brought back some nice memories.

Re-intro post I guess. Moved from @aspensmonster to @aspensmonster. Also used to be @aspensmonster@mastodon.technology way back when.
