Provided by an account I can’t retoot, here’s a more detailed explanation and a link to the patch that’s claimed to save as much as 30% of power consumption in datacenter Linux installs.
I hope some proportion of the claim stands up; at a glance the technique appears generalizable, though networking is probably already the place it will make the biggest difference.

Developing film in a dark room…
Whilst u employed in the mid 1990s I did a photography course at the local college. We had to develop our film in dark rooms as part of it. It was a marvellous process, watching the images slowly reveal trays of various chemicals in the dim red light that was permitted. I learned about manual filters and editing at the point of development. I would have gone on to study more, but I fell in love with Mrs. Nocash and moved from industrial Lancashire to the gold-paved streets of London before the course properly ended. We had an exhibition, though, and this is one of mine that was entered, on the overarching theme of Four Seasons.
As demand surges, figuring out the performance of proprietary models is half the battle.

Planning a better version of extra RAM for the #RC2014 (a #Z80 computer). Reserves I/O ports 0-3. How to use:
1. write high byte of address to port 0
2. write low byte of address to port 1
3. read or write port 2 to access the memory byte at that address
Parts: 6 diodes, 10k resistor, 100nF capacitor, 74138, 2 * 74273, RAM chip (at least 64k*8 bits; 628128 shown).
The order of the RAM address lines does not matter. Neither does the order of the data lines.
See rc2014.co.uk/1504/peripheral-a… for the address decoding used.
My old extra RAM circuit: tech.lgbt/@0x10f/1116410693699…
0x10f (@0x10f@tech.lgbt)
Attached: 3 images I tried to connect a 128-kilobyte SRAM chip to the #RC2014. (It's not intended to replace the original RAM.) I used shift registers for the address (slow but less wires needed).LGBTQIA+ and Tech

in reply to Joe Wynne 🌻 🚗 ⛰️ • • •Many plants recruit ants. The assumed reasons for this are primarily that ants will drive out and eat many herbivorous insects (and even deter some larger vertebrate herbivores) After that possibly pollination?
But this notion that ants may prevent fungi, and other problems (due to the fastidious cleaning habits they have cultivated for millions of years to survive in dense colonies without disease) may help explain just how many plants seem to be "ant seekers."
myrmepropagandist
in reply to myrmepropagandist • • •Some plants roll out a velvet carpet for ants. They have "extra floral nectaries" which are like little juice stations where the ants can drink sweet nectar. Carnivorous plants have been known to host more insect prey so the ants can find the protein they need. And many plants have hollow structures that make perfect humidity regulated nesting places for ants.
We ought to sit up and take notice and learn a thing or two from the plants.
