We need to bring back anodized aluminum heat sinks.

I like this z440 - it was cheap and it's reasonably powerful after a few modest upgrades. I don't like that if you want to fully populate all of the RAM slots, you have to add a big plastic dingus that adds a fan over each set of slots.

Now it looks like the engine bay of a 2012 Camry.

Quiet morning today, so I figured I’d take the time to pull apart my stack and install some gear in my main server. Two ioScale2 SSDs that have been idle for a while, (thanks to RemixVSL who reverse engineered the drivers) and an i210 with a hookup I added for timepulses. More on that maybe?

Looking forward to giving bluesky a try, thanks @coryw.bsky.social for the invite! I'm about 15 years behind on this, I had only used the bird app to attempt to get better customer service from billion dollar companies.

Anyway, it's Marco.
