Open source maintainers already had enough to worry about before the ongoing agentic AI revolution... my thoughts on recent AI-induced problems in open source development: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZJ7A1QoUEI

When you hit 40, the type of gifts that excite you hit different lol

@badnetmask @homelab I sooo want that to exist too. Right now Mikrotik has a couple sorta-options, but there is no *really* good 10"-sized switch with SFP+ IMO

The RAM shortage comes for us all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rbz0akyLyQ

When you don't have an @iFixit iOpener... a little less safe, just remove from heat once you smell plastic 😜

Raspberry Pi prices back on the rise due to AI companies driving up DRAM prices.

One more domino to fall to the AI bubble inflation pressures: https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/1gb-raspberry-pi-5-now-available-at-45-and-memory-driven-price-rises/

It was great meeting so many HPC folks from around the world last week at #SC25 in my hometown, St. Louis!

I captured some of the highlights, like the @EPCC 'Wee Archie', from my first Supercomputing experience in today's Level 2 Jeff video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjP721KCDJI

You don't have to recompile Linux to use AMD or Intel GPUs on a Pi anymore. And almost all AMD GPUs work great now: https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2025/using-amd-gpus-on-raspberry-pi-without-recompiling-linux

All Intel Arc GPUs run on the Raspberry Pi now (including the Arc Pro B50, pictured below). See how: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewDJpxQEGo4

(The same 4-line change to the Linux kernel enables the cards on RISC-V and many other Arm systems, too!).

I wonder if I keep building more Pi clusters, if Supercomputing conference #SC25 will continue returning to St. Louis...?

Hope to see you there, I'll be there as many days as I can!

I saw the 'Neo' robot commercial, and am I the only one who immediately thought of 'Blinky'? https://vimeo.com/21216091

Raise your hand if you ever inadvertently caused a 2+ hour outage (which was impossible to fix in a deterministic manner) due to DNS misconfiguration. #itwasdns

@AubreyDeLosDestinos oops yeah, one time sent an email with the subject and body "Test." to prod instead of test mailing list... 18,000 emails later...

AWS Outage #itwasdns

Qualcomm is acquiring Arduino, and they're launching a new SBC (Uno Q) combining a Dragonwing SoC with an Arduino microcontroller in the Uno form factor. What implications does this have for makers and education? Quick video covering the news: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfKX616-nsE

I wonder if Microsoft secretly wants everyone to switch to Linux. There are certainly fewer reasons to stick to Windows every day: https://www.theverge.com/news/793579/microsoft-windows-11-local-account-bypass-workaround-changes

15 excellent years with my beautiful bride, with a new baby born on average every 3 years! Happy Anniversary!

If the size of the current AI bubble can be estimated by how many

- AI job offers
- AI product review offers
- AI service paid sponsorship offers
- AI creator representation offers

I receive per day... then I'd say we're nearing the pop.

I'm trying a small test on 2nd channel, want to see impact from a large desktop audience, as I've seen a 30-50% decline in views (without a drop in other metrics).

PIS IN SPACE! Today's video on CubeSats was over a year in the making—and deals with two of my favorite things: Raspberry Pis, and space!

Also making a special guest appearance is Gabe from saveitforparts, using SDR to track sats: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvN3sE2Nv4U
