  • I have quite a bit of it already documented!

    Might be worth a read.

    Although, will note, the 40G project is quite a bit more interesting then these 10G runs. I did also run 100G a year or so back, but, never posted anything on it, due to a ton of firmware issues on the 100GBe nics.

  • Its not a necessity for me, however, I do lots of interesting networking experiments in my lab.

    A good example, is my 40G networking project

    So, this is mostly just playing around, but, it does have a few benefits. Power savings is one of them.

  • I have a crawlspace, I can go straight through the floor. I also already have a nice tight grommet for routing cables to/from the server closet too, which makes it pretty easy to run more cables.

    I will say, one of the really nice things around having a crawlspace, it makes it effortless to run cabling across the house.

    I am not very good at doing sheetrock, and especially not good at re-texturing the sheetrock, as such, I typically rely on floor grommets hidden out of sight, and out of mind.

  • My WAN connection, is a no-brainer, as it is already single-mode.

    Regarding the connection to my switch back here though- since I was already ordering the single-mode regardless, I went ahead and decided to run it single-mode too.

  • Well...

    If you think about it...

    You hardly ever see any news from Russia or China... mostly because you don't frequent Russia or China based websites.

    Also, turns out, their news generally isn't in English, except for propaganda

  • Yup, glad someone else understands that one.

    Not much of a game developer myself- but, yea, I understand the challenges of multithreading, especially around the main loop.

    If you want to learn something interesting, check out a few videos on the PS2 architecture, and the challenges around optimizing games for it. Its, very interesting.

    Oh, and the PS3 wasn't any better. (Worse in ways..)

  • I know, it's horrible.

    Although, I really need to get this machine added into my proxmox cluster. My cluster really does need more resources....

    But, my good old unraid box just "works"... so, I don't wanna touch it lol

  • I know your pain. Although, my gaming PC is only rocking a Ryzen 7 5800x. Not, nearly as many threads... but, there are a ton of games which are only using a small fraction of the available CPU.

    If I recall, Assassins' creed was pretty bad about it.... Minecraft (Especially modded) was horribly single threaded. And- more.

  • Oh, I would love an EV.

    Don't get me wrong. But, for a EV with the room I need for the activities we perform, it's extremely cost prohibitive.

    Just now, the wife hauled two dog kennels with dogs. German Shepards. Those aren't going to fit in a car... unless wagons make a comeback.

    Also, Lithium batteries (process of obtaining Lithium) is pretty bad for the environment, and generally involves slave labor. As well, size, capacity, and cycle durability aren't the best.

    Lots of alternatives and prototypes are being worked on, and when that problem is solved by replacing Lithium with a cheap, affordable, durable replacement with enough energy density- EVs will be everywhere.

    As is though, replacing the 30,000$ battery pack every decade or so is no Bueno.

    Until then though, our daily driver is a small car. Suv is used to haul stuff and kids.
