chat, please rate my NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPU power, cooling, and communications solution

@whitequark its about a wtf out of 10

[whitequark@social.treehouse.systems]

@4censord works though

[whitequark@social.treehouse.systems]

i think i'm going to duct tape the hairdryer to the arm because it slowly but surely pushes itself away from the DPU under the force of its own thrust

[chaos@gts.schizofucked.monster]

@whitequark fuck we'd love to get our paws on something like this,,,, woahg

[chaos@gts.schizofucked.monster]

@whitequark duct tape (tape used to create ducting)

[whitequark@social.treehouse.systems]

@chaos exactly

[chaos@gts.schizofucked.monster]

@whitequark we need to get ourselves a server spinnyboi sized fan and craft-knife-able heat resistant plastic sheet for making shrouds for cooling things, the amount of things here that really could do with some active airflow is a lot, zigbee dongle overheats frequently despite the airflow in here, summer is gonna make it very unhappy

@whitequark A+, space-efficient kludging rig

(kinda interesting drop profile/behaviour - does it stay constant then drop, or gradual falloff until it hits some tolerance?)

[whitequark@social.treehouse.systems]

@froztbyte drop profile?

[lynne@mk.pars.ee]

@whitequark@social.treehouse.systems Jerry-rigged cooling, bodged power supply, plugged into hardware even less than unworthy. Although the picture's different, this view is entirely familiar.
