what's the power draw on that big sumbitch?

not particularly bad

it's a single processor PReP box. it is very similar to the regular desktop macintoshes of its day

i used to have a 2-way ibm f80 that was about that size. thing sounded like a beast but i'm pretty sure it only drew about 600 watts

now that is a real aix box

none of this sissy ppc poo poo. a real business man's chip, the rs64

rs64 machines were much more expensive and much less popular than their ppc brethren, so support dried up about five minutes after the ppc / rs64 / power unification

they were rad as hell though

gently caress yeah i would keep an f80 in my collection if i stumbled across one

i heard the place i work at now used to have a bigass RS/6000 system back in the 90s handling the ERP software. took up something like two or three full racks by itself

there was no rs/6000 that big in the 1990s

maybe you were on a mainframe and you didn't know it :q:

they should bring back the xserve or similar

otherwise your ios build farms have to run on rackmounted macs pro and that is just ridiculous

i also wouldn't be that surprised if their own internal build farms cross-compiled on linux or solaris and sidestepped the whole problem

apple, historically, wasn't all-osx. maybe that has changed, but i doubt it.

mesos is a centos/rhel thing i think

mesos is dead as gently caress. redhat bet on k8s instead, and even the mesos vendor, mesosphere, is now selling k8s

but yes mesos has been a linux thing from day one
