@lu_zero_ designed to run for a decade

@linux4kix Maybe not the fastest, but given the constraints it is simply great :)

I am contemplating the possibility of having a completely fan-less home office now....well except for my scope, and 3D printer but they aren't on all the time.

@lu_zero_ Not the fastest computer on the market...but literally a perfectly silent home-lab in box. Compiling a defconfig kernel takes about 170 seconds and due to our tuning of the cores the junction temp doesn't break 65C

@linux4kix It looks gorgeous :)

@lu_zero_ Our #BedRock series of Industrial PC's. Embedded Ryzen V3000, 2x 10Gbps, 4x2.5Gbps, 3xUSB3.2 (10Gbps), 8 cores/16 threads, 64GB ECC memory, 2x1TB PCIe gen4 NVMe, wifi, lte/5g, serial console...100% passively cooled/silent.

@linux4kix what is it?

@corneil @rawkode Been running my HoneyComb workstation with an RX560 OC for almost 4 years now

@rawkode Be careful of using ARM stuff on Desktop if you need a GPU to power graphics. Most have terrible Linux support (which is surprising and very sad)

Has anyone tried one of these as a Linux desktop machine? Should I hold off for Snapdragon Elite X? ipi.wiki/pages/ampere-a…

@bexcran I have also seen this handled in a Platforms PlatformBootManagerLib with a custom DispatchDeferredImages, an example is here, #L1465" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/NVIDIA/edk2-nv…

@never_released I know that @velorenproject supports both Vulkan and and DX11/12 under Windows, but not sure what the default is.

What are names of games using Vulkan as the default backend on Windows? How many of those do even exist?

@sahajsarup I will be at embedded all week. Ping me, would love to say hi in person.

And I was hoping to get a bit of a rest from the heat. 🤦

@bexcran Are you building this to test as a replacement for edk2-non-osi x86Emu?

@sahajsarup Yep, definitely one of the hurdles. But from a product standpoint you end up paying at the BOM or with the licensing. It would be much simpler if Silicon vendors would just implement DP++ and then let the OEM use whichever passive connector they prefer.

@linux4kix One of the issues from OEM pov, not sure if it affects your context here, but most Si vendors integrate hdmi by default leaving on the DSI/LVDS bridge option to implement DP. Which adds to BOM.

Time to start making everything Display Port.

@sahajsarup Some extra bytes on those boards.

Here's my version of "My dog ate my homework"

@sahajsarup I do wish that the pipewire virtual camera support could make better progress. That really seems to be dragging along. Would be nice to not need v4l2loopback. But that is another aging hack that could really benefit from integrating with v4l2 mem2mem and dmabuf support.

@sahajsarup If you are using it under Wayland there are patches from Google for Chromium that fix a few issues. In general I am pretty happy with it, but I rarely use the ffmpeg backend and instead use github.com/fzwoch/obs-vaa…

I hate the crashy mess OBS has become 😞

@jonmasters @bexcran Well Novell did own them at one point and they were headquartered in Provo

@bexcran SuSE has been in Salt Lake for a very very long time 😀

@jonmasters @Podman_io @RedHat @fedora Also build everything on Fedora and podman. You may be interested in a future demo / video I will post on porting Frigate to use our new #Hummingboard Edge AI. Over 28 TOPs in < 10 Watts, including collaborative multi-stage AI inferencing between the iMX8MP NPU and the #hailo 8M

It was fun to hang out with the @Podman_io folks and see a few familiar lovely @RedHat faces. My home automation runs entirely on @fedora and Red Hat Open Source technologies

@ndgoHODL Not just in your bathroom. Especially if you have a drain in a water closet for your hot water heater or washer...those especially can dry out because they aren't used often. Pouring hot water into them every few months will help. as well as remove random "smells" that may exist.

@bexcran If you want to fix the input lag in edk2 this will help you. pastebin.com/7pWqQEUz The current settings are tuned for very old slow uarts. This timeout makes the interface much snappier and I have had no issues with a UART connected at 115200

@bexcran @never_released You are better off downloading the binary installer for Aarch64 and then installing it without the binary kernel module (it is under advanced options). Then you can use their userspace binaries with the open kernel module. Debian probably still packages it more for x86_64

@bexcran T400 or any of the Polaris based WX Radeons should all pretty much just work. The T400 does offer more options for transcoding if you ever have need for that although the VAAPI support for Radeon is pretty decent at this point.
