  ｢ But the momentum of commodity PCs running Linux or FreeBSD was too much for SGI, much like its Unix competitor, Sun Microsystems. SGI didn’t fight any of it. If anything, it joined it, licensing its technology to Nvidia, and sponsoring Linux. The code that SCO sued IBM for including in Linux was actually contributed by SGI, not IBM. SGI’s XFS filesystem was among its contributions to Linux, and XFS is still a popular choice today ｣ https://dfarq.homeip.net/silicon-graphics-founded-november-9-...

  🏜️ China's giant Gobi solar plant runs after dark on salt, not batteries ｢ During the day, the PV array feeds the grid at full load. The CSP unit does something different: 260,000 tracking mirrors covering 800,000 square meters of collector surface focus sunlight to heat molten salt to 550°C (1,022°F). That heat is stored, then used to produce steam and spin a turbine once the sun goes down ｣ https://electrek.co/2026/07/09/china-hami-solar-molten-salt-storage/ #china #solarpower #sustainab...

  🌩️ Dutch tax office ditches Microsoft 365 cloud for on-premises alternative ｢ The Netherlands Tax and Customs Administration has abandoned its planned Microsoft 365 cloud migration in favor of services hosted on infrastructure it controls, alongside European open source alternatives.

  💥 Discord Exodus Begins ｢ Unlike Discord, Matrix is federated. You don't have to use their main server.

The user experience is still... rough. ｣ https://michael-dev-tech.github.io/Website/matrix.html #discord #matrix #ageverification

  🇳🇱 The Netherlands Built a Nix-Based Linux Desktop Because Microsoft Cut Off the ICC ｢ All of DAWO's code is hosted on a Forgejo instance, with a separate Codeberg instance acting as the entry point for contributors. And, to answer the question asked earlier, NixOS was chosen because it is a Dutch project, with no company owning or controlling its development ｣ https://itsfoss.com/news/netherlands-dawo-initiative/ #nixos #opensource #icc
