I 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.

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

Oxide 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?

Oxide'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.
