Although the picture's different, this view is entirely familiar.]]>https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://mk.pars.ee/notes/aku1jt987w4w04pehttps://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://mk.pars.ee/notes/aku1jt987w4w04peWed, 08 Apr 2026 20:04:36 GMT<![CDATA[Reply to chat, please rate my NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPU power, cooling, and communications solution on Wed, 08 Apr 2026 20:04:23 GMT]]>@froztbyte drop profile?

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