Oxide has been discussed on HN a bunch over the last 3+ years (e.g., [0][1][2][3][4][5][6][7]), and while nothing is without its detractors, we have found on balance this community to be extraordinarily supportive of our outlandishly ambitious project -- thank you!

- sacnoradhq 3y agoThe world is an impersonal euphemism for human culture. All things apart from physics and human nature are dentable.
- rvense 3y agoI'm not even so sure about that last one.
- bch 3y agoThe reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man. -George Bernard Shaw
- tiffanyh 3y agoWishing you best of luck. Really curious to see if in 2023, Engineered Systems still have a market in this world of commodity cloud hardware.
- Dowwie 3y agoCan you share how software engineers can bring hardware to market? Fabrication, logistics, manufacturing. What should be outsourced? Who did you partner with for what? Also, congrats.
- wmf 3y agoThey have discussed that on their podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@oxidecomputercompany4540 https://www.youtube.com/@oxidecomputercompany4540

- doublerebel 3y agoPlease don't encourage lazyweb. Plus, this is already being discussed downthread.
- mindwok 3y agoFeedback is helpful, but this comment seems snide just because OPs comment wasn’t perfectly relevant to you. There’s no need for that, it’s relevant to others.
- medellin 3y agoPlease learn to use google. It will take as much time as this snide comment took to write.
- zengid 3y agoI highly recommend folks check out the Oxide and Friends calls on discord, usually on Mondays 5pm PST. More info: https://oxide.computer/podcasts/oxide-and-friends https://oxide.computer/podcasts/oxide-and-friends Disclaimer: I am a fan, not affiliated.
- CalChris 3y agoHubris, Humility and Propolis are open source. Is anyone else using them?
- reverius42 3y agoCould be interesting to port Hubris to x86_64 and use it on bare metal commodity hardware -- specifically to run Rust server code, with perhaps a perf advantage over larger OSes? Though the biggest advantage to Rust-on-bare-metal would have been running all the code in kernel space, which it seems Tasks don't allow for (in order to provide robustness at the OS level).
- rcarmo 3y agoCongrats to the entire team. Being a wayward hardware guy somewhere in telcomland that has followed your progress throughout the years (and having listened to pretty much every oxide podcast), I am genuinely happy for you all.
- GivinStatic 3y agoDo you have any liquid cooling solutions collaborators?
- panick21_ 3y agoIts not liquid cooled.
- g0xA52A2A 3y agoHi, I saw the Oxide Twitter account mention you’d be answering some questions from this thread on this evenings podcast so I hope this gets seen in time. Though firstly I should say congratulations! Q: Are you shipping Milan racks and if so what does the moving to Genoa entail for Oxide?
- bcantrill 3y agoYes, the rack is Milan-based (7713P) -- and good question on Genoa; we'll get into that tomorrow!
