    Well it works, but there is a snag. It seems the fan runs full speed the whole time, and it _does not_ sound good.

    Aside from that, it ships with Loongnix, a dedicated Linux distro running KDE 5. I can't seem to access the pkg servers, so haven't been able to add fastfetch or anything like that.

    Seems to pull a bit under 30W when idle.

    Weird new computer arrived. While it looks like a regular mini-PC it has a Loongson 3A6000 CPU with 4 cores, 8 threads and a MIPS derived instruction set architecture (ISA). The aim is to install Chimera Linux on it, and have it be a test bed for building packages, and testing software compatibility. Depending on power consumption I might give it some server duties too.

    Bumped into a weird bug today.

    `base64 -d something | dd bs=32 skip=96 count=1 2>/dev/null` does not always return the same data on loongarch64.

    Apparently busybox dd does not guarantee that the full block is read unless `iflag=fullblock` is specified, which sort of makes sense.

    Would probably not have detected this without access to real hardware.

    Shows value of running CI on unusual architectures.
