I thought the point of crypto was to be free of "the man" exerting controls over funds or the system. Frozen funds you say? Nah. #BinanceHack #selfcustody

maybe a job for GLM, deepseek flash, and some CMP170 assist action? Pinging @nmatt0 on this to make sure it's crossed his feed.
Has anyone used AI to get root control of a John Deere tractor?
don’t really need right to repair if you can jailbreak it 😎

ran across this alternate firmware for cheap ethernet mgig/10g switches
github.com/logicog/RTLPla…
thinking about getting a few cheap switches and doing firmware flashing in the @_kernelcon_ HHV this year....

No beans here...but finishing hay season. Yields down by 50%. Fertilizer and diesel fuel costs up by 50%. Glad to be done. Hoping for better next season.

Yep. Let's go.
🤯 How about a 64GB GA100 for $1,500?
🔥Nvidia sold this GPU with 8GB of memory. Local AI hackers unlocked 64GB of HBM2e AND its crippled Tensor Cores.
Local AI hackers have now unlocked ...
🔥 8GB → 64GB HBM2e
🔥 crippled Tensor/SM compute
🔥 PCIe Gen1 → Gen2
Prices of ady shooting 🆙
The NVIDIA CMP 170HX, a 2021 crypto-mining card built from GA100 silicon, was sold by NVIDIA, but they nerfed it! 🔫
🔒 8GB HBM2e
🔒 throttled Tensor/SM compute
🔒 restricted PCIe
🎯The open-source CMP Unlocker can now turn the 8GB version into:
🔥 64GB HBM2e 👀
🔥 full SM compute throughput
🔥 PCIe Gen2
Here is what the author benchmarked...
🧮 Tensor throughput
6.3 → 193 TFLOPS
🦙 Llama 2 7B Q4_0 / llama.cpp pp512
599.6 → 3,468 tok/s
That's a 5.8× increase in prompt processing.
They dug deeper and found what appears to be a deliberate compute throttle ...
🐌 Locked → 256 cycles per MMA instruction
🚀 Unlocked → 24 cycles
🎉The card suddenly gets roughly95% of A100 per-SM Tensor throughput in their test.
And remember ... this is now a 64GB HBM2e Local AI GPU. 👀
Here are the caveats ...
⚠️ Linux + patched NVIDIA open driver
⚠️ Secure Boot off
⚠️ PCIe still only Gen2 x4 without hardware mods
⚠️ unlocked memory has no ECC
⚠️ community hack — definitely enthusiast territory

This is so awesome.
To my mining friends
you can load the jetski miner github.com/jtskxx/PEARLSK… and it will unlock your 170hx's. then run your normal miner and your good for mining. Personally i'm a fan of @TwhitNub101 's pool..

The off-grid solar setup @_kernelcon_ worked great. Thursday's rain meant we ran on battery, Friday's sun powered everything and charged the 16kwh battery back to 100% and powered the equipment directly. Max wattage from the array was 3124 watts.
30 laptops. 1 local AI ar + 2x starlink dish setups.
Any questions let us know! Happy to post an overview of what we used, what we liked, and what we would do differently.

Hey @_kernelcon_ attendees using #meshtastic
we put the medium-fast / #kernelcon channel QR code up for you to scan and join the dedicated Kernelcon 2026 channel! It's the same as last year's key and settings

Yes - the only question i have is
when lambo?
when lambo?
hey @_kernelcon_ the ESP32 BTC Mining project is available now. Find @themattvirus in the Hardware Hacking Village to work through the project

Come to @_kernelcon_ and tune in to Kernelcon Radio broadcasted at the conference!
FM radio kits available in the hardware hacking village and at the Kernelcon Merch Store.
Build one. Tune in. Make something!

Come to @_kernelcon_ !
Run some prompts on "The Kernel"
We might even have an #openclaw instance named "The Klawnel"....

Pro Tip: Carry a starlink dish and a bigassed battery while walking around a hotel/conference center venue.
People will either think you're supposed to be there or they'll be paranoid that you'll start talking to them about multi-link peering and optimization...and they run on successful though, ideal deployment is scouted and planned. And @_kernelcon_ will have more than enough bandwidth to support the attendees without caving to the massively inflated connectivity fees the hotel venue was going to charge.

And you can stop by the HHV to see how the entire network lives, including a live display of network usage.
HHV Details are here at my (generally neglected...) site:

This year at @_kernelcon_ the theme is OFF-GRID. A new project in the hardware hacking village is building an FM radio from a hardware kit. You solder it all together. We'll help.
When you're done, tune in to the official Kernelcon Radio station, 91.9 KCOB "The Cob" to test me tunes, and stay on top of all the conference announcements, brought to you by AI.
