Canadian Cynic: Me want.

Been digging into RISC-V lately, so now I want one of these. Because, you know, toys.

I've been reading into the Raspberry Pi/Playstation 3 cluster experiments a bit.

TBH I kind of want to build a supercomputer.; 10:55 AM

You can build a clustered compute environment out of just about anything you like these days. It can be a fun process to figure out the configuration, but unless you have an intentional use for that kind of compute structure, the end result is a bit of a "why did I do this?"; 2:19 PM
