• stylish-haskell - simple Haskell code prettifier - LinuxLinks

  stylish-haskell is a simple Haskell code prettifier. The goal is not to format all of the code in a file, since I find those kind of tools often “get in the way”. However, manually cleaning up import statements etc. gets tedious very quickly.

  This tool tries to help where necessary without getting in the way.

  stylish-haskell is free and open source software.

• Aiffro K100 All-SSD NAS running Linux: Power Consumption - LinuxLinks

  The Aiffro K100 is an All-SSD NAS with an Intel N100 processor, 8GB of RAM, and 4 M.2 2280 NVMe slots. The machine currently retails for £227. You buy the SSDs separately, and choose whatever operating system you want to install.

  For this article in the series, I’m looking at the power consumption of the Aiffro K100 All-SSD NAS.

  I’ll see how the NAS (“Aiffro K100”) compares to various small computers. They are the Radxa Rock 5T (“ROCK 5T”), the Firefly AIBOX-3588S (“AIBOX-3588S”), the Orange Pi 5 Max (“Max”), the Orange Pi RV2 (“RV2”), the Orange Pi R2S (“R2S”), Banana Pi BPI-F3 (“BPI-F3”), the Raspberry Pi 5 (“RPI5”). I’ve also included a few Intel mini PCs with the following CPUs (“N95”, “i7-1360P” and Core Ultra 7 Processor 255H “BOX-255H”).

  Let’s start with the power consumption at idle. The results are captured in the chart below
