I have changed the settings, so the "compress" message doesn't popup again.

Applications and Porting / [DEV] Firestarter - A Processor Stress Test Utility
« on: July 06, 2020, 06:23:17 am »
Hello everyone,
there is a Prime95-class stress testing utility called Firestarter. POWER9 support is planned. Unfortunately they don't have the resources for it at the moment. However, support via git is welcome.
If any of you have the time and inclination, here are the links:

Operating Systems and Porting / Re: Slackware64-Current

Funny, a month ago I asked Eric Hameleers if there is a possibility to port Slackware to PPC64le.
He said, I should ask Patrick Volkerding.
Sadly, he didn't response. Why not ask the Slackware people for hosting the packages?
Great work, BTW

Remove the black housing. There is only one screw. Flip the fan, mounting the black housing back.
