  • More impressed that someone found a CPU with a sample size of one passmark: (Image)
  • My new janky AF ebay parts homeserver. Absolutely not going to win performance contests - but it is growing on me. All my other homelab stuff is SBC/minipc so was really missing something more ATX sized...pcie slots, satas etc. Highlights - Triple …
  • (Quote) Same. Must admit I'm a little puzzled by storage VPS in general Mission critical stuff goes to big providers (hetzner and up). Linux ISOs & friends I'll keep two copies on local LAN - acceptable risk profile and I'd rather not have linu…
  • (Quote) That looks like half a petabyte of drives? o_O Nice info! Thanks for taking the time Anybody know how this works at hyperscaler level? I heard google does triple region replication for gmail data so guessing it flips back to software at th…
  • Is anyone even doing hardware RAID anymore? I get the sense that everyone moved to software because it is less of a mess on hardware failure (specifically the controller)
  • (Quote) Kagi search has a small-web search feature which is basically a webrings-like content but in centralised curated format by them (Image)
  • That sucks :( Put plans to make a blog on hold because it just feels a bit it would be speaking into the void. I noticed in my own browsing I'm either asking an LLM or googling and often the AI summary on top has the key fact I'm looking for so no …
  • (Quote) haha indeed. (though I do have angry customers in day job that is funding my homelab shenanigans...) Anyway...no storage testing for now. XMP on this board seems broken. So guess I'm figuring out 30+ memory timings settings by hand
  • @host_c Thanks! Use case is various homelab stuff. Relevant one for discussion is probably half a dozen nodes will be using this as s3/object storage backend for k8s hence interest in fast small files and snappiness. NFS too but most of LAN is 2.5g…
  • (Quote) You clearly know a lot about this! But think you misunderstood me. I'm not thinking cache, leaning more towards metadata/small files on optane. i.e. the data never goes to main pool. (Quote) Well given that I did a non-ECC build I think in…
  • Awesome timing. Been wondering about this too for a project. I suspect with main pool being SSD and thus already pretty fast any sort of caching layer beyond RAM is of limited benefit. So I'm thinking more metadata & small files (vaguely recall…
  • You don't need to screw with the global billing. You can disable specific ones under billing -> account mgmt (Image) Think it may force delete some things in the projects though depending on details
  • There is some really stupid shit coming out of the US as of late. And all it is doing is pushing China towards independence faster. The new Huawei Ascend chips while not 1:1 matched yet are making absolutely insane generation on generation improvem…
  • (Quote) Sweet. Hourly payment is an awesome option for testing stuff Don't see any terraform though unfortunately
  • @crunchbits - will credits roll forward onto new platform? Think I've still got 20 bucks on there
  • Reminds me of this: (Image) LLMs are fascinating in how they're both incredibly smart and incredibly stupid at the same time. On your gibberish approach: The same effect works for jail breaking too. Feed it enough gibberish and the safeguards ab…
  • (Quote) Yeah looks like you're right. It's still at 1 instance. Looks like cost pm is minimum about 0.22 which is pretty reasonable for something that is always online Also noticed there seem to be a lot of restarts in the logs. Pretty odd for a ba…
  • Some notes on testing their container (i.e. docker): * Really not liking that you're forced to have your container images public (docker/github) * The deploying is reasonably straightforward - like any other docker platform * By default it wants to…
  • (Quote) Yeah - I saw part of the prez (?) speech which asked people to not speculate...which I guess is fair. Silver lining is at least this will wake everyone up about grid stability & it didn't take down the entire EU grid. Restarting Spain's…
  • From what I've heard thus far seems it may be related to ~60% of generation being solar. I can see that being problematic if you don't have very good stabilisation
  • Been toying with the edge scripting. Good stuff...definitely planning to use this. e.g. with a bit of LLM help I managed to get the script to download a page & save it to the SSD backed edge storage which in turn is CDN served. And should also …
  • (Quote) Definitely has a learning curve, but once you get used to it opnsense is much nicer than consumer routers. There were also some backdoor issues with some consumer routers (tplink i think) so I no longer do consumer routers at edge of network…
