  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.

    Of course. That's why it's called KDE Plasma and not KDE Liquid or KDE Gaseous

    [–] rtxn@lemmy.world 32 points 1 month ago

    Still waiting for the KDE Neutron Degenerate Matter release.

    If Lemmy had awards, you would deserve one

    i reposted this comment to !bestoflemmy@lemmy.world. You're welcome.

    To be fair, I still have this Lemmy award idea, with a twist. The pay goes to awardee's preferred open-source project as donation.

    [–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Half of it split between the instances of the awarder and awardee, the other half as you said.

    [–] muhyb@programming.dev 6 points 1 month ago

    That would be even better!

    yes, but have you successfully achieved fusion in the CPU? if so, this will revolutionize selfhosting.

    [–] fartographer@lemmy.world 39 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Trying to mine some Ethereum and accidentally ending up with with a shit-ton of hydrogen burning into helium

    [–] some_kind_of_guy@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

    Great, now my electron wallet doesn't want to work anymore. Said something about "busy influencing the fusion rate" and "please wait while I maintain the overall electrical neutrality within the plasma" or somesuch

    At least swap usage is low.

    Okay hear me out, we got nuclear fusion, now place some water in a massive tub on top of the pc.
    Create steam
    Spin turbines
    Generate electricity
    Send to another server
    Infinate power

    [–] ulterno@programming.dev 2 points 1 month ago

    Send to another server

    Why?
    Just feed it back in itself.

    Ackshually this is well within the range of a Class F star, unlike our class G sun which is a bit cooler. This is getting cloe to the temperature of Procyon A which is noticeably whiter than the sun.

    [–] rumba@lemmy.zip 28 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

    I have the opposite problem.

    [–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

    Maybe your server could help cool off theirs.

    [–] Madison420@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Take both of them and slap a sterling engine between them. Unless both servers combined are eating thousands of watts an hour you could end up net energy positive.... Or you know perpetual energy.

    And that last 0.5 was probably a rounding error It's not showing double digit precision. :)

    [–] communism@lemmy.ml 26 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    So I was curious and looked it up because I would have assumed that stars/suns are much hotter than that.

    https://www.nationalgeographic.com/adventure/article/110323-coldest-star-discovered-cup-coffee-brown-dwarf-hawaii-space-science

    Turns out the coldest star is 97Β°C at its surface. So I guess CPUs regularly reach (coldest) star temperature?

    [–] DreamlandLividity@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

    I guess technically. This makes me wonder what actually qualify as stars. Do neutron stars? Do black holes?

    UPDATE: By the definitions on wikipedia, miriam-webster dictionary and britanica, a brown dwarf this cold may not actually qualify to be a star. I will search further for astronomical definition.

    [–] rtxn@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

    Brown dwarfs are classified as substellar objects because they can't fuse hydrogen into helium and don't undergo the same lifecycle as stars. White dwarfs aren't stars either, they are stellar remnants that don't have enough mass to keep fusing heavier elements, usually stopping at carbon and oxygen.

    Congratulations to you and the motherboard.

    Time to build a small Dyson Sphere.

    [–] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 month ago

    Reapply thermal paste every 24h. It'll be fine.

    [–] ComradeMiao@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

    Need to download more fan

    [–] MNByChoice@midwest.social 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    The steel of the case melted long ago... I guess the carpet is ruined.

    the hole's in the carpet can be fixed

    [–] jxk@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 month ago (2 children)

    I'm more triggered by the missing degree symbol Β° before C

    [–] Agent641@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    It's actually travelling at 6280 x the speed of light 😬

    [–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

    That would be lower case. It's actually charged with 6280 Coulombs.

    I've got a Dell R730, this is standard operating temperatures.

    [–] Dagnet@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

    My Dell optiplex reports 126C, is this really normal dell behavior?

    Wow you did it! How much data to hit critical mass?

    [–] Marzanna@scribe.disroot.org 8 points 1 month ago

    …and converted to UltraSPARC?

    [–] socsa@piefed.social 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    It's because you have swap enabled and the server would rather just die in a fire.

    The server:

    Sun Fire

    [–] cute_noker@feddit.dk 3 points 1 month ago

    Try to touch it

    A weapon to surpass Metal Gear?!
