Been checking out #ThreadsApp the past several days while waiting on my fixed #Fedora and #CentOS #Hyperscale builds.

Quite like the vibes, once #ActivityPub #federation is enabled and Threads join the #Fediverse I might experiment with following Mastodon/Pleroma accounts from there and vice versa. Would be interesting to see what 🧵 content look like with reverse chronological feed and Fediverse content viewer in a news feed!

#FLOSS stuff will be posted here first, or dual posted, of course

If you need to do #performance #profiling across both #CentOS #Stream 8 and 9, #perf 6.x is now built for both as part of the #Hyperscale SIG!

This post is day 24 of my #100DaysToOffload challenge

My life since yesterday: trying to get an updated version of #perf for #CentOS #Hyperscale SIG. Finally settled on basing it on kernel-tools from #Fedora -- but once it builds fine in mock I discovered it broke in #CBS . Fun when things can't be reproduced easily locally, grr.

Luckily I can get around this by disabling an unrelated subpackage, I think, but... this definitely merits a blog post once I get around to it.

The report also raises concerns about the increasing influence of #hyperscale companies like #Amazon, #Google, #Meta, and #Microsoft in the global cable network, potentially leading to market #monopolies and challenges to digital sovereignty. https://www.hackread.com/submarine-cables-cybersecurity-threats/

#Zen4c: #AMD’s Response to #Hyperscale ARM & Intel Atom
#Bergamo, AMD’s upcoming 128-core server part sets new heights in #x86 #CPU performance. At the heart of Bergamo is #Zen 4c, a brand-new CPU core variant of their successful #5nm #Zen4 #microarchitecture that enables the push toward more cores per socket. Zen 4c enables Bergamo to fit 1.33x the number of cores in the same #SP5 socket and 360W TDP, with identical L1 and 1MB L2 private caches to Zen 4.

"The dominance of the cloud market by the US giants has long been a concern for many in Europe. In 2020, a federated European data infrastructure project called Gaia-X was started, with the aim of reducing the dependency of European companies and governments on US technology providers, with only limited success."

#AzureSQL #Hyperscale elastic pools are in preview now! More details including a quick walkthrough are available in my blog at https://aka.ms/hsep-public-preview-tech-blog.

Het gaat om datacenter AMS13/14 gelegen op de Cultuurweg 11 in Middenmeer (Het Venster).

Will be very interesting to see what other Intel-optimized packages materialize!

ICYMI: Meta — the social network formerly known as Facebook just froze development of another datacenter, this time in Huntsville #Alabama . The news comes less than a week after the company axed a pair of DCs in Denmark.

@vkc I've successfully done it with #CentOS Stream via the #Hyperscale SIG.

👋 hi, #tech friends! Mastodon isn’t Twitter. Please don’t try to #Hyperscale this. I know you’re smart and some of you have deep pockets — but hear me out.

The social-moderation-model of the fediverse depends on communities being self governing. Large unmoderated instances get the #fediblock, incentivizing members to leave for smaller instances. The whole point is to not centralize control again.

Thx! 🙏

In case anyone is wondering, some of the use cases are having the packages I maintain in #Fedora and #CentOS #Hyperscale SIG consistently available
