That memory speed drop going from single DIMM per channel DDR5 to dual DIMM per channel is very much notable - 3600MT/s is barely any faster than what DDR4 could do in it's final days.

The CPU market seems to be missing the "HEDT" platform we used to enjoy.

This looks like a very cool high end x86 workstation. CPU alone is $12000 retail.

Theres a few potential “problems” I see with it - main system RAM is about 30-40x slower than that of the GPU’s and you will have PCI-e as a bottleneck getting working data to or between the GPUs.

In practice is the 400-500GB/s main memory limiting some use cases, or is the PCI-E bus the main issue with these types of systems?

I am a big fan of the original Altar. I like that you’ve been trying new things with that design like the novel keycap profile.

The switches look like cherry ultra low profile switches. I’ve not tried these out, how do they feel compared to the linear kailh choc v1’s you used before.

This cycle is different. Prices have increased for both Sony and Microsoft’s consoles and no higher efficiency versions have been released (ala the PS3, X360).

Partly, windows defender can open and scan the contents of many archives, but extraction of several popular formats isn’t possible

Poland I imagine is a tremendous exponent of South Korea’s arms industry.

I always thought of arms procurement as a tedious and slow process but the Polish/Korean agreements have turned that on its head in my eyes.

Simultaneously supplying new tanks, artillery, and munitions, while quickly standing up local factories to build them in Poland too is impressive, undoubtedly giving the Polish government some well needed breathing room.

Given that the technical package is included here, there must be some form of non-competition clause

I just grabbed a Tissot Gentleman 38mm as my first Swiss machine. Same movement but a little smaller, and in my opinion a more handsome case

Thank you, I’ll keep this in my hat for the next time.

XFS as implemented in RHEL8+ (the only places i've used it in anger) tends to handle being full very badly, leading to system lockups and blocked tasks necessitating a hard reboot. Worse yet is when it's in this state the journal fills and nothing can be done with the volume.

To recover from this on a volume mounted at boot mandates going to either a live disk, or stopping boot in initramfs and running xfs_repair there, I've fruitlessly attempted to play back the journal on many separate occasions by attempting to mount the filesystem (again causing a lock up due to no space) in that state you have to drop the journal, run xfs_repair and then clean up the detritus from /lost+found (and then the location that caused the disk to fill altogether).

EXT4 has other issues certainly, but at least it reserves blocks for the root user explicitly so the system doesn't stop.

Service dependency resolution and parallel startup is super in systemd. Big fan of what I can do with it.

XML - I see you’ve used macOS’ LaunchD, the system that inspired Systemd

Apple’s AMD GPU driver had issues gracefully handling hot plugging monitors via thunderbolt. It reliably panic’d every other time I plugged in my ‘19 16” machine to a thunderbolt 3 dock.

I argued with GPT-OSS 120B about cascade lake Xeon workstation CPU parts not having a GPU when it vehemently said otherwise

Wonderful. I wonder is there a plan for a 30th anniversary edition given that this December marks that point

As a blow in to New York, I find the bodega cats a very charming tradition. Reminding me of “tough as old boots” farm cats, working animals with a purpose and a style all their own.
