If the point of connecting it to WiFi is to make it easier to print then why would you isolate it only to make it harder to print?

If you want 100% no sneaky stuff connect it to some PC and set up a cups server on it.

$100 usd is going to get you something pretty dire unless you luck out. It doesn’t take too much more to go from >15 years old to something <8 with a MUCH better CPU and ram options.

A closet with some pretty hefty air conditioning. We tried a closet and that won’t cut it.

Plus what’s a datacenter but one big airconditioned closet?

The average person, but not the average (non AI) business.

There’s no way I could take our R7725s with dual 300 watt threadrippers and fit that in a shoe box. And we’re a small company.

Lemmy doesn’t really have much in the way of an “algorithm” and it really shows with stuff like this.

Mbin can combine posts like that and show comments from all of them, but I think it shows all posts in the main post view, it only combines the comments. I really hope in the future Lemmy combines crossposts into one posts. It’s something an app could do. But I’d love to see it in the default UI so it hopefully encourages all apps to support it too.

Oh no! If only there were easy ways around paywalls?

Your brain is still developing until your mid to late 20s so there will always be a bit of that.

These cards are so specialized only the absolute enthusiasts would bother with them. They’re big, awkward, and very power hungry. Not suitable for any halfway sane person to just have sitting idle 80% of the time. The VAST majority of them will end up as ewaste.

3 2 1 offsite backups typically happen a lot less often than local copies or local backups.

I also don’t really consider any machines data to be irreplaceable. If I lose my phone I want the latest backup. But taxes or photos I care for? Those are an entirely different backup, and those aren’t incremental. They’re just what they are.

Kinda depends on what it’s for. My server? IDK, 2 days. Maybe have a dedicated weekly/monthly backup left behind. PC? Honestly just the latest is fine.

But it’s a 10tb drive, so I’ve got months of backups even if they’re running continuously. It’s less a how comfortable I am and more a how much can I afford. (a lot more before the shortage)

I also explicitly purge stuff that’s constantly changing like logs. I don’t care for logs in my backups. Only on the live machine.

As long as I have space. My backups are on dedicated drives, and as they run out of space the old ones are deleted.

Just RTFM!!!

…ok. Now what?

But enclosed in a box without much airflow and those temps are going to creep up over time. And take even longer to cool down. Hopefully there’s fans in the bottom or side. Because one exhaust is not great for even just the heat from those hard drives.

I think the best way to handle airflow out is to have a turn or two on the intake/exhausts for the noise to get trapped. I personally just put mine in my basement though. That limits the sound pretty well.

Gotta go fast. My WiFi can achieve > 1gbit, my internal network is already 10 gig. Why not support faster everywhere?

I do this at work. If you don’t do pass through for the NICs I’d highly suggest it. When it’s a router it’s insane how much the overhead can be.

We have a 4 gig connection and with the virtual nics got maybe just over 1gbit on a Xeon silver based R640. But after pass through solid 3.5ish. Not sure where the bottleneck is currently, but our other servers do >4 just fine.

I was using an N100 based mini PC and it did fine at 1gbit. But now that I have 3, and it’s realistically closer to 4 or 5 it doesn’t cut the mustard.

Proper hardware based routers are also just so much more efficient. That N100 machine was constantly hot to the touch. My new UniFi router uses less power and does 10 gig easily.

Yeah I had some amazing calves from being so fat and just walking.

Why does it matter for a car like this? This isn’t even a car you’re supposed to drive. It’s a car you’re supposed to be driven in.

They’re connected to the internet so they can alert someone when they fail.
