When I see a piano that is unplayed, I feel jarred. An instrument from which you can make music, quiet. I wonder: there could be music here, but there isn't. There's nobody there to play. At the same time, I feel like the sound of music may cheer people up; surprise them, make them think, give them a little moment of joy. That, and my love of playing piano, is why I like to play music in public, at pianos that you will often find in train stations and airports.

I just got a E5-2696 v3 CPU for my ML110 Gen9 home workstation, this has a Passmark score of 23326 which is almost 3 times faster than the E5-2620 v4 which rated 9224. Previously it took over 40 minutes real time to compile a 6.10 kernel that was based on the Debian kernel configuration, now it takes 14 minutes of real time, 202 minutes of user time, and 37 minutes of system CPU time. That’s a definite benefit of having a faster CPU, I don’t often compile kernels but when I do I don’t want to wait 40+ minutes for a result. I also expanded the system from 96G of RAM to 128G, most of the time I don’t need so much RAM but it’s better to have too much than too little, particularly as my friend got me a good deal on RAM. The extra RAM might have helped improve performance too, going from 6/8 DIMM slots full to 8/8 might help the CPU balance access.
That series of HP machines has a plastic mounting bracket for the CPU, see this video about the HP Proliant Smart Socket for details [1]. I was working on this with a friend who has the same model of HP server as I do, after buying myself a system I was so happy with it that I bought another the same when I saw it going for a good price and then sold it to my friend when I realised that I had too many tower servers at home. It turns out that getting the same model of computer as a friend is a really good strategy so then you can work together to solve problems with it. My friend’s first idea was to try and buy new clips for the new CPUs (which would have delayed things and cost more money), but Reddit and some blog posts suggested that you can just skip the smart-socket guide clip and when the chip was resting in the socket it felt secure as the protrusions on the sides of the socket fit firmly enough into the notches in the CPU to prevent it moving far enough to short a connection. Testing on 2 systems showed that you don’t need the clip. As an aside it would be nice if Intel made every CPU that fits a particular socket have the same physical dimensions so clips and heatsinks can work well on all CPUs.

Starting with a bit of background, Eva is a Gemini browser that I've been working on off and on for some time now, written in Rust with the Gtk4 toolkit. Right from the beginning it was designed around a custom browser widget which was packaged separately called GemView, which has grown over time to support not just Gemini but many of the other protocols that are generally grouped together as the "smallweb". That list includes gopher, finger, and spartan. The widget also supports file:// and data:// urls. GemView is a huge part of what makes Eva useful, and the rest is just an interface built around it.
I like modular code within reason, and things which can be reused and repurposed in ways other than originally intended. This also tends to work to one of the ways that Rust's notorious compilation times can be mitigated, as splitting large crates into smaller crates allows them to be compiled in parallel.
* Gemini (Primer) links can be opened using Gemini software. It's like the World Wide Web but a lot lighter.
