This is a still running test simulations of the design. Once that is done they will hand it to the Fab which has its own work to do beyond “just make it”. After they do have actual hardware, there will probably be a lot more testing and driver refinement.
Sounds better than repeatedly swinging for the moon and missing.
If you have mechanical HDD you may want to get a foam lined case and anti static bags. That should be the best approach to avoid drive damage.
As for leaving things in the rack, I am concerned that road vibration could walk screws out. That would be bad.
I think ASML can kinda do what they want. My understanding is that they make the cutting edge fab equipment. So if the US gov tries to play hardball, ASML can just sell their stuff to other countries.
Bold to claim the US is sane.
As for food functionality it is very comparable to software remote control of a computer. There are 3 key features that stand out:
Edit: Because this is essentially full access to the machine as if you where physically at it, it should be considered a security risk. Not saying that you need to be scared of it, but you should be aware of the risk and protect it from unauthorized access.
I would stay away from kubernets/k3/k8s. Unless you want to learn it for work purposes, it’s so overkill you can spend a month before you get things running. I know from experience. My current setup gives you options and has been reliable for me.
NAS Box: Truenas Scale - You can have UnRaid fill this role.
Services Hosting: Proxmox - I can spin up any VMs I need and lots of info online to do things like hardware passthrough to VMs.
Containers: Debian VM - Debian makes a great server environment as it’s stable and well supported. I just make this VM a docker swarm host. I managed things with Portainer for a web interface.
I keep data on the NAS and have containers access it over the network. Usually a NFS share.
I have used audiobook shelf to read a couple of PDF files. Seemed to work fine. I mostly use it for audio books.
