Check out proxmox. Debian base with Debian apt repos available for standard stuff, with ZFS built into their kernels. Easy to install. And, if you insist on running TrueNAS (or whatever) just stash it in a container or KVM box. (Edited to a

I've been using Claude Code Extension in VSCode (no phone-home configured), backed by DwarfStar on a LAN local MBPro 128GB M5. The context bloat is horrendous, leading to 5-10 minute prefills. I've recently been exploring tools li

It's getting harder and harder to tell these days when El Reg is being serious. I think this is a case when that is so, but I'm not sure...

Perhaps this approach should be known as "The Method of MOOments"?

Yes indeed! Spain, next year! (And Australia, the year after that! ;-) ) I'm also wondering about the feasibility of taking these gizmos on airplanes, what with the Lithium battery packs, etc. What we really need (for some definition

I'm interested in your eclipse experience. I tried capturing totality with a seestar S50 back in the 2024 eclipse. What I found is that at the very moment of totality, I had not removed the solar filter fast enough, and the bloody thin

On a related note, there is a reasonably well known commentary on an adjacent technology by Ruth Schwartz Cowan (1985) titled "How The Refrigerator Got Its Hum". It describes a 1930s market battle between heat-driven ad/absor

I'm curious too! One obvious thing is that the memory requirements for this are substantially smaller than DwarfStar-- which AFAIK can only start to be used at 64GB ram and upwards. Another obvious thing is that antirez is pretty obses

District heating is a mature technology. Direct Use geothermal heat is the one I am personally most familiar with -- as a geophysicist. However "waste" heat utilization is a definite thing for people with mechanical engineering&#x

True. Chena Hot Springs [1]. They are famous in the "direct use" geothermal community. A lot of the thermal energy is not used for electrical generation. Although a small portion actually is -- made possible by the \Delta T reject
