@whitequark i would love a dump of the firmware running on it and some detailsalways been interested in more advanced networking/drive controller cards with full OSes onboard

[chaos@gts.schizofucked.monster]

@whitequark feck it, grub on the network card

[joew@hachyderm.io]

@whitequark is it a nvidia bluefield? I messed around with those a while back and it was running kubernetes on the ARM cores on the NIC

[airtower@woem.men]

@whitequark@social.treehouse.systems That somehow seems like the least weird part of the whole setup… ​​

[arch@floofy.tech]

@whitequark it's got systemd installed and running too right?

this is amazing

[whitequark@social.treehouse.systems]

@arch naturally

[viss@mastodon.social]

@whitequark uhhh wtf

[noodles@social.earth.li]

@whitequark From my experience with such things I assume it has a full UEFI firmware too.

[monotux@hachyderm.io]

@whitequark is this an appropriate meme?

Yo dawg, I heard you like......

[be_far@social.treehouse.systems]

@whitequark …can it run Doom

[whitequark@social.treehouse.systems]

somebody here was making a joke about the network card running kubernetes

i regret to inform you that the network card does in fact run kubernetes (or at least it has the kubernetes repository enabled in apt)

[theartlav@anarres.family]

@whitequark Hmm. That makes me wonder if it would be possible to get it to run on my Xeon Phi 7120A.

[petko@social.petko.me]

@whitequark xzibit.jpg we heard you liked linux...

reminds me of the quantenna wifi cards that used to run openwrt?

[whitequark@social.treehouse.systems]

okay there's "kubelet" in ps. it's definitely running it
