But you did another Marco thing, which is you wrote yourself a little app to manage stuff.

Accidental Tech Podcast
684: It’s Not What Young People Do

Yes.

Accidental Tech Podcast
684: It’s Not What Young People Do

Or at least it sure looks like you did.

684: It’s Not What Young People Do

You posted on Mastodon a screenshot of something that says, yeah, the Overcast Transcriber.

Accidental Tech Podcast
684: It’s Not What Young People Do

Oh, interesting.

Accidental Tech Podcast
684: It’s Not What Young People Do

I'm sorry.

Accidental Tech Podcast
684: It’s Not What Young People Do

So this is the app that's actually doing the work.

Accidental Tech Podcast
684: It’s Not What Young People Do

Oh, my mistake.

Accidental Tech Podcast
684: It’s Not What Young People Do

Accidental Tech Podcast
684: It’s Not What Young People Do

My apologies.

Accidental Tech Podcast
684: It’s Not What Young People Do

We've all probably seen the videos of four Mac studios clustered over Thunderbolt, but you can also do it over ethernet just a bit slower.

And so I presume, John, you put in a link in the show notes to a Beowulf cluster.

Accidental Tech Podcast
684: It’s Not What Young People Do

Can you explain that, please?

Accidental Tech Podcast
684: It’s Not What Young People Do

John, I would be remiss not to mention System X. Do you remember this?

Accidental Tech Podcast
684: It’s Not What Young People Do

This is a zillion, I believe it was XSERVs all networked together to be a very impressive.

Accidental Tech Podcast
684: It’s Not What Young People Do

Mm-hmm.

Accidental Tech Podcast
684: It’s Not What Young People Do

Yeah.
