The server:

Sun Fire

[-] Guenther_Amanita@slrpnk.net 152 points 1 week ago

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

[-] craftrabbit@lemmy.zip 32 points 1 week ago

If Lemmy had awards, you would deserve one

[-] somerandomperson@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 1 week ago

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

[-] muhyb@programming.dev 13 points 1 week ago

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 week ago

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

[-] muhyb@programming.dev 6 points 1 week ago

That would be even better!

[-] rtxn@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago

Still waiting for the KDE Neutron Degenerate Matter release.

[-] _cryptagion@anarchist.nexus 81 points 1 week ago

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

[-] trollercoaster@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago

It's the nuclear option in self hosting.

[-] fartographer@lemmy.world 40 points 1 week ago

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 17 points 1 week 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.

OP at their keyboard right now:

[-] Ascend910@lemmy.ml 32 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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

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 27 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I have the opposite problem.

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Maybe your server could help cool off theirs.

[-] goatinspace@feddit.org 6 points 1 week ago
[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago

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

[-] communism@lemmy.ml 25 points 1 week ago

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 97°C at its surface. So I guess CPUs regularly reach (coldest) star temperature?

[-] DreamlandLividity@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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 week 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.

[-] mushroommunk@lemmy.today 17 points 1 week ago

Time to build a small Dyson Sphere.

[-] ComradeMiao@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

Need to download more fan

[-] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 week ago

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

[-] jxk@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 week ago

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

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

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

[-] Ziglin@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

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

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

[-] pewgar_seemsimandroid 4 points 1 week ago

the hole's in the carpet can be fixed

[-] huquad@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 week ago

The power of the sun in the palm of my hand!

[-] trk@aussie.zone 14 points 1 week ago

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

[-] Dagnet@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

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

[-] goatinspace@feddit.org 12 points 1 week ago
[-] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago

Oh now it makes sense. Temperature was less than Absolute zero now you can make 100% efficiency carnot engine

[-] goatinspace@feddit.org 3 points 1 week ago

Absolute zero is 0 K, which is the theoretical temperature at which particles have minimal vibrational motion. Since 6553.55 K is greater than 0 K, it is greater than absolute zero.

[-] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago

(Talking about temperature underflow)

[-] lectricleopard@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

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

[-] Marzanna@scribe.disroot.org 8 points 1 week ago

…and converted to UltraSPARC?

[-] ndupont 7 points 1 week ago

Can't touch this

[-] socsa@piefed.social 7 points 1 week ago

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

[-] july@leminal.space 2 points 1 week ago

Happy cake day

[-] cute_noker@feddit.dk 3 points 1 week ago

Try to touch it

[-] Zen_Shinobi@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

A weapon to surpass Metal Gear?!
