 @flexion @sassageflare Really? I mean a "web accelerator" would make sense given the aging hardware's limitations... @sassageflare @kkarhan Latest update about D1 in February 2023 and he had since posted some updates in the SGUG discord as well https://forums.irixnet.org/thread-3855.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eBmTFluB3I Tell #Dodroid I sez hi and we'd all love to see more updated content. Also there's space on the :fediverse: for #RetroComputing fans including #sgi nerds... @sassageflare @flexion Needless to say that I want to see some "Scalable Workstation & Server" to be redesigned and reintroduced. Like some 19" rack with PCIe switch as "sideplane" and cables to interconnect Mainboards and Storage, GPUs, NICs and all the other "fun stuff" one would love to shove into a "deskside" minirack... @sassageflare @flexion Have it's rear be a giant liquid cooling radiator with a bunch of Noctua fans that pull the air through the chassis and out to through the radiator... https://noctua.at/en/nf-f12-industrialppc-3000-pwm Y' know... Something that would actually be feasible as a design and not some #SingleVendor / #SingleProvider solution only... @sassageflare @flexion That being said I do have a "boring" HP Z600... But you'll likely call me a filthy casual for even mentioning a regular-ass #amd64 workstation... |
@sassageflare @kkarhan Dodoid is still around in the SGI scene.. he's working on DFRD (Dodoid Fast Remote Display), a PCI card to offload browser rendering via GL forwarding, to bring the modern web to IRIX 4Dwm desktops.
