Although some stuff gets mirrored to the GNU Social instance:

Interesting projects on the wiki:
RTG+Ortega - firmware replacement for BCM NIC
Verax - JSharp's cluster

What software is available for this?

For those not in the know about Talos II & Blackbird,
> PCIe 4.0 w/ CAPI 2.0 support
> fully opensource firmware for CPU
> SATA controller on Blackbird doesn't need blobs
> NIC's proprietary firmware is being reverse engineered (see Project Ortega)
> SAS controller on Talos II is optional, but needs proprietary firmware
> this does not mean that NIC and SAS controller need blob drivers

>What software is available for this?
I'm guessing it's one of those deals where you have to pay the open source tax, and then program yourself to get it to work. At least that's what I'm taking away when the question is ignored by the shillposter.

If it's popular and open source, there's a good chance it's already being maintained in the PPC tree, so it will Just Work™, but most porting is minimal.

>My F28 Talos runs VLC, LibreOffice, Krita, GIMP, QEMU and many other essential apps (like ioquake3) out of the box with the distribution-provided packages.

Blender works too

Does davinci resolve 15 work on it?

Sounds proprietary, so probably no

Any non systemd distros?

Even Unreal Engine is ported

I know fuckall about Java but isn't the idea to compile once and run everywhere in a JVM? So if the Talos II has Java available, shouldn't the full Java edition of Minecaft run as well? I don't really play video games but that's still my go to time waster.

MineTEST, it's an open source clone built on the Irrlicht Engine (C++)

Yes, I know. I'm talking about MineCRAFT.

yes

nice.

Fedora Koji shows builds for openjdk on both Big Endian and Little Endian PPC/Power
koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1129932
So it's a yes for Java, but I don't know about LWJGL, it might just need to be recompiled for Power, or there might be some porting involved

why do you think vlc is gross?
it plays many media formats and allows streaming.

schematics included apparently

>We have also included a copy of the T2P9D01 schematics for your reference

Last time I tried to use it, vlc was having issues with window sizing, subtitles, and rendering for me. Ended up just installing mpv.

some fellow gentooman report the compile times of sjwfox and the linux kernel on that bad baby so I can orgasm pls

Oooooh, upcoming reviews from Ian Cutress (anandtech) and Wendell (level1techs)

A PNG of that would have been smaller and lossless, fag.

Stop forcing your gay fag wendle shit.

>Euro
Yeah, the shipping costs alone are going to be a real pain unless vikings.net finally decides to be a reseller.
Blackbird's board will be < 900 USD though.

Wendel a shit now.

That 255 GiB of RAM though, why would you need more swap?
