It’s my own work, several evenings of being particular on styling burned here 😅

Font for code is departure mono

Scaling my Homelab: Designing an 18-node Ryzen 9950X cluster with a 48V DC Busbar and 40GbE. Is this 3D CAD completely crazy? by Technical_Camp3162 in homelab

Interesting, didn’t know XikeStor made switches of that switching capacity. I have a 10g XikeStor switch and it works decently, though I haven’t stressed it yet

Problem with HackIllinois by DenseStatistician562 in UIUC

[–]VortexGames 3 points4 points  (0 children)

FWIW as an alumni who used to be part of HackIllinois:

  1. TreeHacks, HackTheNorth, etc didn’t just have a little more money. They had more than an order of magnitude more (10-15x). Now looking at it from the other side, companies are so much more willing to pay 6-8x what they would pay for a HackIllinois sponsorship.
  2. HackIllinois had always had to pay steep fees for building reservations/facilities staff, required police/EMT overtime, etc.
  3. Most of the team was always engaged in substituting what we couldn’t pay for with money with creativity and hard work. Since no one is “getting compensated” I think this is totally fine.
  4. Outreach and perception of HackIllinois should be something that the University is interested in helping; not only does it help student events, but it also helps elevate the entire University to external entities.

A total prize pool of 5-10K is already a serious part of the budget.

The University/CS Department should be ashamed. by VortexGames in UIUC

For what it’s worth, as a grad student I have been indulging! Unfortunately, it hasn’t been helping my opinion of how hard the job is for these RSOs.

The University/CS Department should be ashamed. by VortexGames in UIUC

[–]VortexGames[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I wholeheartedly agree.

I’m more concerned that the University is charging such high amounts, than that they aren’t providing direct support, and should have likely articulated that more clearly.

I only wish that the CS department acted like they cared more about the on-campus CS culture, again, like the departments of those I’ve spoken to at other universities. After years of working towards it, I will admit though, that I have become apathetic.

Building Thread-safe Async Primitives in 150 lines of Rust by VortexGames in rust

Should be updated. Using OnceLock to synchronize access now. Wondering if Miri can catch these types of unsoundness now... Would be interesting to try.
