Despite my #sunpci project being on hold due to two dead #sun ultra 10s (RIP). A SunPCi II arrived today!
I really love how it came with a disposable anti-static wrist band. That's such a great idea to prevent accidents, especially for this era of electronic equipment!
When I get a SPARC machine with PCI this will be the next RE target. I think these "chimera" models are quite similar to the "penguin" models, technically, but only one way to find out!
Yesterday was the Winter Solstice

Explanation:
Yesterday the Sun reached its southernmost point in planet Earth's sky. Called a solstice, many cultures mark yesterday's date as a change of seasons -- from autumn to winter in Earth's Northern Hemisphere and from spring to summer in Earth's Southern Hemisphere. The featured image was taken just before the longest night of the 2025 northern year at Stonehenge in United Kingdom. There, through stones precisely placed 4,500 years ago, a 4.5 billion year old large glowing orb is seen setting. Even given the precession of the Earth's rotational axis over the millennia, the Sun continues to set over Stonehenge in an astronomically significant way.

Today was the #WinterSolstice in the #NothernHemisphere and so tonight will be the longest night of the year. The #Sun actually reached its southern-most pass in the #sky a little under six hours ago. So, #Winter has started.
Of course, if you’re in the #SouthernHemispere, replace “winter” with “summer”, “northern” with “southern”, and “night” with “day”.
