It's cool to see Oxide shipping RIFT routing well before networking vendors.

#12I wonder how much the smallest, cheapest configuration will cost. I would really love to buy one of these. But I suspect it will cost 100x more than I can afford heh.
Estimates in the previous thread were at least half a million.

#13> Oxide Computer Model 0, also known as the “0x1” So is it 1 or is it 0..
Yes.

#14It's great to see Oxide shipping. They have an incredibly talented team thats worked very hard for a long time in the best tradition of Sun Microsystems.

Yeah that’s about 100x more than I can afford exactly.
I think I will go back to my little collection of RPi Compute Module machines. And maybe some day in the very distant future I can buy big boy servers lol

#16Oxide is an HN darling. I have never seen anything even close to negative about them here. I hope someone writes a case-study about this. It seems to be a mix of the charisma of the team/founders and their product that makes everyone love them.
I would put Wireguard/Tailscale in the same category as well.

But are people buying their machines?

#19I'm particularly impressed with their anti-tamper measures. "For each server sled, shine a light into the cubby to look for any physical tampering or damage."

#20Oxide's "On the Metal" podcast is an incredibly fun deep dive into technical issues no one should have to deal with as told by people who lived them. "Deep" as in: software DRAM drivers, Ring -1 security, bespoke motherboard designs... I only wish there were more episodes.

I just noticed they have a second podcast. I'll assume it's just as good.
