The TokioConf 2026 call for talk proposals is now open! tokio.rs/blog/2025-09...

We had the @changelog.com folks at Oxide for our internal OxCon conference a few weeks ago. They interviewed a bunch of my colleagues and published the episode today. Check it out! changelog.com/podcast/659

This is kind of cool: today, Oxide and Friends is going to pass 1,000,000 downloads. I’m not sure what @bcantrill.bsky.social had in mind when we did our first Twitter Space in 2021, but I’m surprised and delighted to have reached so many folks.

Does Oxide have software licensing fees? FAQ Friday #20

ooh my talk on cancelling async #rustlang got featured on LWN! Thanks @pietroalbini.org for linking me to it

On Monday, Dave Pacheco joined @bcantrill.bsky.social and me to reflect on his experience leading a large, complex (very complex) project to build automated update into the Oxide Rack. Hard-won wisdom on leadership and the avoidance of debilitating "organizational procrastination".

As promised last week: today on the podcast, @ahl.bsky.social and I will be joined by Dave to talk about this extraordinary talk, the system that it describes -- and the experiences of the team in developing it. Join us, 5p Pacific today! discord.gg/QrcKGTTPrF?e...

New @oxide.computer application FAQ just dropped

More Oxide and Friends for your weekend

How Do I Try Oxide? FAQ Friday #19

Last week, we were treated to an extraordinary talk internally at @oxide.computer. It was at once an expository talk of a complicated software system and an experience talk of developing systems software in the large -- and it was far too good to keep to ourselves! oxide.computer/blog/systems...

It’s been over a month but Oxide and Friends has a new episode up on the pod (and another one dropping tomorrow morning)

Each year the @oxide.computer team comes together and meets at an internal conf. It's a good excuse to make something pretty. This year it's a coin, with a snapshot of our compute sled's PCB and modular logo.

Today, @ahl.bsky.social and I are going to be joined by folks from the @oxide.computer operations and engineering teams to talk about the challenges of scaling manufacturing. Join us at 5p Pacific today -- and bring your questions! discord.gg/QrcKGTTPrF?e...

Update: It was awesome.

Why Does Power Matter in the Data Center? FAQ Friday #18

Oxide is entering a whole new era! Wild what a podcasting company can do.

How does Oxide make decisions? FAQ Friday #17

Really looking forward to giving this talk at #TalosCon2025; hope to see you in Amsterdam in October!

Oh also, I happen to be speaking at #rustconf on Thursday!

Why go to #TalosCon2025? Because hearing @oxide.computer 's @bcantrill.bsky.social speak is always worth the trip. This year, he’s diving into "The Complexity of Simplicity." You’re going to want to be in the room for this one. 👉 taloscon.com #Kubernetes #CloudNative #BareMetal

🖤💚 The grid stays alive thanks to @oxidecomputer. Bare-metal speed. Cloud control. No illusions. They’re powering the Challenge Series infra at #GopherCon. #gophercon #challengeseries #oxide #golang #infosec

What happened to my root password? FAQ Friday #16

Who is Oxide Built For? FAQ Friday #15

Oxide system v16 is here- engineered as a comprehensive update that applies to the entire stack, no separate recipes to maintain for different components. Here's a look at what's new in v16:

How do I customize a virtual machine image? FAQ Friday #14

✍️ I wrote a new blogpost about two podcast episodes I find particularly interesting — spoiler: they’re from @oxide.computer 🖥️ and @antithesis.com 🧪 🔗 pierrezemb.fr/posts/debugg...

kinda amazing that the Glassdoor salary numbers for Oxide are just completely wrong. Absolutely no basis in reality. The actual number is 235k (up from 207k after our Series B) for all the roles listed there, including the CTO (@bcantrill.bsky.social)

Some news from @oxide.computer: we got a raise! Our annual salary now stands at $235K. oxide.computer/blog/oxides-...

Congrats @bcantrill.bsky.social @sdtuck.bsky.social and the whole @oxide.computer team on their series B funding! So glad people are investing in infrastructure ownership and experience instead of extracting profits from captive audiences oxide.computer/blog/our-100...

Does Oxide have instance types? FAQ Friday #13

While I'm on the @oxide.computer cheer team, I'd highly recommend their Oxide and Friends podcast. The transparency and detail of the "epic bug hunt" episodes are a true gift to the software and technology community. 1/2 oxide-and-friends.transistor.fm

We had big news last week! Today on Oxide and Friends, @ahl.bsky.social and I will be joined by @sdtuck.bsky.social to discuss the significance of our Series B milestone -- and to regale us with the fundraising journey. Join us, 5p Pacific! discord.gg/QrcKGTTPrF?e...

Why Did Oxide Raise $100M USD? FAQ Friday #12

Now is the time! Join our mission to change computing forever 🚀

🎉We raised $100M USD in our Series B financing. Thank you to USIT for leading this round, to our existing investors for their participation, and to our team, customers, and community for getting us to where we are today! oxide.computer/blog/our-100...

Is Oxide a private cloud? FAQ Friday #11

I'd forgive you for assuming that we merely integrate components fully designed and manufactured overseas; that's how most computer companies work today. But did you know that our system PCBs are designed in-house and laid down in Ontario or Chippewa Falls and our products carry a USA COO?

💚

Per-core license, per-socket license, it doesn't matter. The pricing keeps changing, but somehow you always lose. At Oxide, we believe that cloud infrastructure should come complete with all system software built-in. Stop optimizing for licensing models. Start optimizing for your business needs.

The @oxide.computer podcast has made me better at debugging

No episode today -- and a bit of a dog days' hiatus for Oxide and Friends: @ahl.bsky.social and I will be back on August 4th!

Why is it Called Oxide? FAQ Friday #10

Join the team that's changing enterprise computing forever. Especially notable this round, we're looking for a Networking FPGA Engineer to join our ambitious work on multi-terabit rack-scale programmable networking.
