Found something last night at the @epcc.bsky.social booth during the #SC25 gala that @jeffgeerling.com might like. Not quite a mini-rack, but there’s blinken lights!

The City Museum is a great location for the Beowulf Bash this year for #SC25. Exhausting, but in a good way.

If you were at the SIG-HPC workshop at #SC25 and were wondering about the Proxmox implementation of WW, this is the project one of my students implemented with the help of a colleague.
GitHub - Higgigamer19/pve-ww: This project implements Proxmox with Warewulf for a proper HPC deployment.

Looks like folks at #SC25 can get their own fractal. The kiosks seem fussy and one was broken when we showed up, but I got mine!

With legal challenges to this law pending, we cannot justify building the expensive required infrastructure.

For now, we have made the difficult decision to block access in Mississippi.

Our Response to Mississippi’s Age Assurance Law - Bluesky
A new Mississippi law requires us to block full access to Bluesky unless all users complete age checks. We have concerns about this law’s implementation.

I'm Back Film is a device that goes inside a 35mm camera and replaces the film, swapping it with a 20MP digital sensor. Is it worth $800 though? Let's set it up, test it with an old SLR, compare it to film, and see it it's worthwhile.

Having grown up in hurricane country (and somewhat still affected by them), the forecasts have been essential to planning… anything. And unless I’m mistaken, there’s no private resource that can provide the same capability to outsource this too in a pinch, not that I’d want this to be privatized.
Critical hurricane forecast tool abruptly terminated
On Monday, the U.S. Department of Defense announced it would immediately stop ingesting, processing, and transmitting data essential to most hurricane forecasts.

NEW: NSF will be kicked out of their building. Announcement will be made tomorrow by HUD Sec. and Governor of VA. HUD will take over the NSF building over the next two years.

NSF staffer: "There is no planning for NSF, no identified future location, appropriation for a new building or a move."

I was just informed by one of my students that their participation in a program sponsored by the USDA was revoked since they no longer accept international students. They participated in it last year, but I wasn’t aware of any recent changes.
