with the recent discourse on developer-focused laptops, I feel the need to shout out @system76.bsky.social. we have a variety of System76 hardware at the shop, and I have loved every one I've worked on.

can't wait to upgrade to a Lemur Pro once my @frame.work shits the bed.

Administrators at Indiana University baselessly fired the student media director and ordered the student paper to cease its print edition, so it'd sure be a shame if this excellent digital front page were to be widely shared today

@jeffgeerling.com just watched your wonderful video on the @frame.work desktop with its AMD AI MAX+ 395 board. Got me wondering—have you ever played around with AMD's MI300A APUs?

apparently #apple sells $700 casters for macs? I put my #NAS on casters today for <$50, including screws + casters + #3dprinted parts, and I definitely could have found some more affordable casters.

fuck you Apple. show an ounce of respect to your customers.

I have been thinking a lot lately about the non-significance of scientific discovery in the broader context of human well-being (or lack thereof).

Life on Mars, LLMs, deep space images: Stunning progress.

But these excitements are reserved only for those with the predisposed comfort to enjoy them.

I can see this in my head and it's gigantic and beautiful.

I'm tired.

TL;DR: I want:

- 12+ hot swappable SAS bays
- ECC support
- LGA 1851 CPU
- ATX motherboard
- All in a super stylish, airflow-conscious tower form factor

and I'll tell all my #NAS / #plex / #datahoarder friends all about it

something like a @system76.bsky.social Thelio or a @fractalofficial.bsky.social case with a SAS backplane is my DREAM.

SAS backplane also solves the problem of daisychaining sata power connectors.

to elaborate, I want a CPU that supports #QSV (as far as I know, #Xeon does not have QSV support), and thus an ATX case but also with hot-swappable SAS bays. this is a UNICORN. closest thing is the old #supermicro 826.

been thinking about my dream #NAS workstation. if any manufacturer made a tower chassis with 12x hot-swappable 3.5" bays (connected to a SAS backplane) and a pre-built solution that comes with an #intel mobo w the #w880 chipset (LGA 1851, ATX, ECC support) they'd get a lot of my money
