Where can I read about what exactly Oxide is? The main page states "No Cables. No Assembly. Just Cloud" and not much besides that.

Oxide makes a rack-scale computer called the Oxide Computer, here's the intro page: https://docs.oxide.computer/guides/introduction

It's unfortunate that page briefly flashes some text and goes blank leaving an error in the browser console

   Uncaught ReferenceError: TextEncoderStream is not defined

That's something on your side - I'm running a pretty strict tracker/ad blocker that inadvertently affects a lot of sites, and it works for me.

I’d recommend updating your browser. TextEncoderStream has been in Firefox since 2022, in Chrome since 2018, and in Safari since 2021

Thanks for the bug report. We could stand to have a better catch-all error page for this case.

Looks like this browser API is used by Remix’s new Single Fetch feature, which coincidentally we just started using last week. Sorry we broke the site for you. We don’t have as clear of a browser support policy as we probably should, but if we did, I doubt we would be guaranteeing support for two year old browsers unless we had a customer request for it.

There are a few follow up videos as well.

Basically, they sell big racks of servers.

It's a computer podcast run by Rust programmers. They also LARP as a computer company.

>They also LARP as a computer company.

Oxide has a one of a kind product that they're delivered to dozens of customers. They are not "LARP[ing]" by any means.

I think you missed the silent "j/k".

I think they're trolling, likely personal.
