Happy Easter!

Taking a few days off this week, so might not have a video, but excited for the SBCC next weekend! https://sbcc.sdsc.edu/main-page.html

Happy Easter! 🙂
@geerlingguy another page designed to give instant bad vibes and make me want to ignore them completely. I know it's not your fault but man it sucks to see this crud.
@Officeplant yes, the slop seems to infest almost everything these days; better to skip graphics completely or just grab an image from Pexels

@geerlingguy I have looked quite many time on building a SoC cluster, but in the end I just drop the idea as it's quite costy, sure you have the NanoCluster reviewed by a great guy, but which the network switch was a bit better than 1Gb.

Sipeed NanoCluster fits 7-node Pi cluster in 6cm

Sipeed's NanoCluster is a tiny compute module clusterboard with room for up to 7 tiny computers. Each slot has two inline M.2 (NGFF) slots which accept either a custom-designed SoM (System on Module) or an adapter board to adapt a standard Compute Module form-factor board into the slot (as pictured above). One end has a large fan for cooling, and the other end has power and IO. You can power the board via either PoE++ (60W) or through USB-C PD (65W). Or both, with redundant power fail-over.

@geerlingguy Happy Easter! And that looks really cool! Wish I had time & money to participate, but I look forward to see what others can do.
