1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    What am I looking at?

    some pci-e device. but the main chips are probably on the other side of the board.

    It looks like a wire wrapped prototype board of some kind, impossible to tell the purpose from that photo alone though.

    I don't know, maybe it's not even a GPU

    Serious response I agree with Pogo, it looks like a handmade RAM.

    Looks like an ISA card to me - might be RAM, but I'm not confident at all

    A free and open source GPU compiled by hands

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (3 children)

    The free and open source comes with the fact it was hand made ? I don’t get it

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

    The joke is in the eye of the beholder, for me it's funny because you have the buzzwords "free and open source" which means you can implement it however you want and the user here decided "fuck it, I will do it by hand".

    Would assume that in this case that the gpu was created and assempled using a open blueprint/schematic thats freely available for anyone to see use and modify. Fairly common thing when it comes to stuff like 3d printing where many people freely share their models for others to use.

    I don't get it either
