Intel Processor Instability Causing Oodle Decompression Failures

     I have a garage machine with a ca. 2014 Haswell 
     that's been running full tilt at 90C+ for a good 
     bit of its life. It just won't die.

First of all: that's awesome.

Second: what's it doing spending that much time "full-tilt?" Just curious. Sounds like something interesting.

Alas, nothing that interesting. It mined bitcoin for awhile, back when it was feasible to make practically useful quantities of it that way. Never profitably obviously.

Right now, I use it as a 200W space heater I can turn off and on via SSH, just running busyloops. It works well enough for a single car garage in California.
