In a surprise move, NVIDIA is bringing CUDA to RISC-V CPUs 💥
Announced at RISC-V Summit China , this allows RISC-V processors to run CUDA drivers + logic, with NVIDIA GPUs handling compute tasks ⚙️
Enables open CPU + proprietary GPU AI systems—big for edge, HPC & China’s chipmakers 🇨🇳

A potential shift in global AI infrastructure 🌐

It's FOSS News · In a Surprise Move, NVIDIA Brings CUDA to RISC-V ProcessorsA surprise collaboration, I must say.

Had a great time at @opensuse Conference 2025 in Nuremberg! A highlight was the hands-on workshop by @tropicsquar, showcasing #TROPIC01 — the first open and auditable secure element. A big step for verifiable hardware #security in #Linux systems, edge devices & secure infrastructure.

Thanks to the Tropic Square team for the great session and the devkit

Just a thought, from a knuckle-dragging biology scientist. TL;DR: I believe there is scope to make the hosting of a peertube instance even more lightweight in the future.

I read some time ago of people using #webAssembly to transcode video in a user's web-browser. blog.scottlogic.com/2020/11/23

Since then, I believe #WebGPU has done/is doing some clever things to improve the browser's access to the device's GPU.

I have not seen any #peertube capability that offloads video transcoding to the user in this way.

I imagine, though, that this would align well with peertube's agenda of lowering the bar to entry into web-video hosting, so I cannot help but think that this will come in time.

My own interest is seeing a #Piefed (activitypub) instance whose web-pages could #autotranslate posts into the user's own language using the user's own processing power... One day, maybe!

Thank you again for all your hard work; it is an inspiration.

Scott LogicIn-browser transcoding of video files with FFmpeg and WebAssemblyThe WebAssembly build of FFmpeg allows you to run this powerful video processing tool directly within the browser. In this blog post I explore FFmpeg.wasm and create a simple client-side transcoder that streams data into a video element, with a bit of RxJS thrown in for good measure.

#Whisper #WebGPU by #Huggingface sounds very exciting!

Does this mean an #activitypub server could delegate translation-into-user's-language of all the posts to the user's device?

I'm too thick to have been able to find any system-requirements information for just the text-translation feature... Is this #translation feature likely to fly on mobile devices too?

Am I getting too excited too soon?

@ramin_hal9001 OFC this mostly considers stuff in /etc/, /opt/, ... and is intended to be an explicit "opt-in" - style configuration managment.

For me it's more of a way to find a better & simpler alternative to #Ansible that doesn't require me to install something on the target #Server (or "#EdgeComputing node") and "just works"...
