These are the topics that I’ve been spending time with, on no specific schedule, with no intended intention, often for debugging or optimization, sometimes purely for curiosity, and often in-between other tasks throughout the day and night, so they might as well get some blog posts for discussion. All of the topics have already been written via configs, scripts, list-docs, and automation tooling, but no formal blog posts just yet.

1. Ongoing sprints in “The EPYC Epic, Desktop Cooling Round III, Software Settings”
2. An Enterprise Engineering Desktop w/ FreeBSD: hardware, software, configs & optimizations
3. Terminal Living, Adventures with Shells, and Why I stopped using Bash after 22 years (sh, csh, tcsh, fish, nu, xonsh)
4. Not the Biggest, nor Smallest: Porridge Bears settle on a heat sink for EPYC cooling
5. Aerodynamics and Turbulent Efficacy: stfu Supermicro chassis fans
6. Xorg Always Works: FreeBSD with the Big Three GPU brands, running 4K 240Hz 1000R on AMD, Intel, Nvidia
7. FreeBSD Performance Analysis: machdep, c-states, turbo, and timecounter shootout
8. Lazy Cores, Hot Nights: CPU idle algorithm optimization, core pinning, and NUMA balancing
