The powerful ones are called epyc.

latest amd ryzen chip and with 4tb of ssd and 16gb of ram

Why would you call that “powerful”?

connect them all to one display

The X Window System was invented originally with this idea. It can even connect multiple machines to multiple displays seamlessly.

It still works fine, but after most people have been using it only on 1 PC and screen, they abandoned it in favor of Wayland.

Nowadays even self hosters, the cream of the crop of all nerds ;-) usually prefer headless servers and only 1 PC with many screens connected to it.

miniPC cluster

Thank you! You got me thinking here. Maybe several minis are better than one fat new ryzen with so many cores on an ATX board? But the mini’s fans are usually ugly loud when doing some real work.

I need to read actual benchmarks and then compare…

I am looking for the same right now. So if you find it, tell me please.

8 SATA is quite a lot. I would rather like to have even more :) because here’s my old raidz gang of disks and there comes my new…

I have seen some offers on Aliexpress with ITX boards but I don’t trust them.

Maybe it is better with a normal board and an expansion adapter?

…which is derived from SGML.

anyone with more money gets more free speech, which isn’t how rights work.

The ones with a lot of money are the only ones who have rights anyway.

A demo-crazy.

Note that it is not democracy what Trumpeltier is destroying at the moment. It is the functioning of the state. This will take so many years to rebuild, if possible at all.

I don’t know any of their reasoning, but money as a form of speech is just obviously bullshit.

Unfortunately, freedom of speech is the only one of all the basic human rights that Americans seem to know. So whenever someone needs a new right, they have only this to build upon.

(Whenever they want to take away a right from someone, they babble about NatioANAL Security)

Socks with seams? What a gruesome mistake.

Socks do not have any seams, here where I live at least.

Yes, you can easily do it.

You want to look at 2 things: 1. Noise 2. Ratio of performance / power usage.

1. Noise

When your PC runs 24/7 then it might be annoying to hear it’s noise sometimes. Real server cases are usually even much louder than former PC’s because they are built for super strong air flow inside.

Think carefully what you need. In my situation it is just one light wooden door away from my bed, so I wanted it impossible to hear. I optimized it so, and it ended up being so quiet that I cannot hear any fans, but I hear the clicking of the harddisks all the time. Well, I got used to that, mostly. For my next home server I want to build my own case that absolutely blocks this noise.

2. Ratio of performance / power usage

People are frequently asking what if I turn this old Pentium etc. into a server?

Well, these old CPU’s have very low performance compared to new ones, but it might just be sufficient. But then you recognize that the old veterans burn 100 Watts for the same performance where a modern (low performance) CPU burns only 5 Watts, and now it will do that 24/7. Think about your yearly costs. Many times it turns out that buying a new one saves your money very easily.

I think the wear out is the same.

The look depends on the socks of course, and if anybody would see them at all.

Just do your thing :)

A genius :-)

Ich würde nicht immer sagen. Erst seit sie nicht mehr mit dem Fahrrad zum Bundestag fahren.

They call 125 “high speed”?

for most purposes, spread out is better. Less of a hit to your system

The digestive system is not built for boredom.

It works best with lots of changes and irregularities. Single events of such stress are no problem at all (only many repeated events of the same stress are bad). The same goes for a day or two of staying hungry.

es ein explosives Umfeld gab, in der der Mensch eigentlich egal ist

Die Geschichtsstunde führt jetzt viel zu weit weg vom Thema. Und “Was wäre gewesen wenn”-Fragen sind mir eh ziemlich egal.

Aber der Mensch ist nie egal. Auch nicht “eigentlich”.

Electric car buyers don’t like right-wing politics.

And they have learned that other car builders do it so much better, in so many aspects. Tesla’s “revolution” is over.

At the same time, Massa Elon is dealing with completely different topics. So, no chance for Tesla to come back. Ever.

man kann sehr gut ohne Eier leben.

Die Gastronomie sieht das vermutlich anders
