Shares of #IBM have dropped about 25% today. Biggest single day drop ever. A generation ago this would be huge news, but we don't talk or think about IBM like we used to in the tech industry.

I recently learned about wire wrap connections. They're fast, easy, strong, and make good contact. Developed by Bell Labs for early phone switching, by they 50's it was a standard in electronics, and was later used by Apple and IBM in their early computer prototypes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire_wrap

IBM Aspera is a commercial and pricey file transfer service that is used a lot in the VFX industry.
Rocky Linux 9 is an operating system that is used a lot in the VFX industry.
IBM has retired their file transfer client and the new app no longer works on Rocky Linux 9. it requires release 10.
Rocky Linux 10 is not used in the VFX industry a lot yet because the major apps we use don’t support it yet (officially that is) and 9 isn‘t end of life yet by a long shot.

WHY in 2026 am I having to flip switches in Setup to a "legacy" boot to get it to boot from anything but the network???
OK, so these aren’t exactly new nodes. Supermicro X11 boards with Nutanix firmware(?) that are designed to drop into a cloud infra setup. But we don’t have that.
The boot order SAYS try disks of all flavors but it just doesn't do that.
I blame IBM. This whole architecture was a botch from the start and has just gotten slimier as we've …

Did you know? Commodore PC's had the setup program in ROM (but no keyboard combo to get to it!). You had to launch DEBUG (a standard DOS command) and then jump to a specific address to execute the setup program.
(IBM PCs needed a you to boot from a special SETUP diskette, better not lose that one!)
