A highlight of last year was attending @opensaucelive.bsky.social and meeting tons of amazing makers and content creators. If you can make it Jul 18-19, in San Mateo CA, it's worth it.

The Mono Gateway is a 10 Gbps router with dual SFP+ ports that fits in 1U in a mini rack. It's custom-built for open source Linux router software like OpenWRT, and I tested its throughput on @ServeTheHome's $1m CyPerf server!

For the last video of the year, I tested Dell's "Dell Pro Max with GB10" (rolls right off the tongue, that).
Dell sent two and mentioned they aren't gaming boxes, so maybe don't focus on that in a review. So guess what I did first ;)

Bluey performed admirably, but I think was enjoying a little time alone on the kitchen floor, away from the mayhem.

Here's the wash cycle of my broken Bosch 500 series dishwasher.
It's fixed now (pump was making grinding noises and was very weak), but this is like strike 7 for this dumb appliance.
Might have to make another video about it sometime.

Now's a good time to mention this neat little box I've been helping with...
It's not yet ready for prime time, but we have GPS, PPS, and NTP, working on SyncE

EDAtec sent me one along with their CM0NANO development board (which seems to be the official IO Board for the CM0); much of the documentation is linked from their Chinese site, the Pi site just has an overview page and no mention in the docs as of yet.

Performance is practically identical to the Pi Zero 2 W, though I tested it anyway (see sbc-reviews.jeffgeerling.com).
It's a Compute Module, but eschews the more fragile Hirose board to board connectors in favor of castellated edges, for easier assembly.

The CM0 is a Pi Zero 2 W, except in stamp form, with castellated edges, so it's easier to pick and place and solder to another PCB.
It's only being sold in China currently, for integration into OEM products.

Now that Nvidia GPUs run on the Raspberry Pi, I want to see if they're good for Jellyfin transcoding (e.g. take your old 3060 and throw it on a Pi for a little #homelab media server...). www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2025/be...

Hello there, Raspberry Pi CM0. EDAtec sent this to me from China. Unfortunately you can't get these anywhere else! It's basically a Pi Zero 2 W, but in SoM form. And it has castellated edges so it can be pick 'n placed right onto PCBs.

Aww, I was hoping the more artsy thumbs would win. At least with the initial video audience, it looks like me in the thumbnail helps.
I may re-run the test again next week, once the video's out in 'general' recommendations, and the main audience has already seen it

The DC-ROMA II is not a Framework 13... but it is. But you shouldn't buy it—unless you're a RISC-V developer or enthusiast, I guess. It's complicated: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkFf...

The Nvidia DGX Spark (well, I'm testing the Dell version with better thermals and a power LED (heh, the Spark doesn't have one)... it's a very competent Arm workstation.
Just... too expensive. Working through 200G clustering issues for now.

Dell sent me two 'Pro Max with GB10' units to test.
They're more competent as little Arm Linux workstations than I expected (Mediatek's 'Grace' CPU is decent).
*However*... there are caveats. Like the price, and idle power even without 200G networking sucking down watts.

We were instructed to make angry sysadmin faces in the second picture. Apparently that's not possible lol! It was great seeing Patrick of @servethehome.com.web.brid.gy and Wendell of @level1techs.bsky.social at #SC25!
