"It's time for another awesome software defined ISA card using a Raspberry Pi Pico RP2040: The PicoMEM. This card does far more than just add memory to the computer, it adds just about everything you might possibly need for your old 8088/8086 based system!" - Adrian's Digital Basement

Zur von trägt Langlebigkeit und daher auch deren Reparierbarkeit wesentlich bei. In Frankreich müssen Geräte-Hersteller auf der Verpackung eine Reparierbarkeitsnote angeben. Ersatzteile und Reparaturanleitungen müssen z.B. mind. 7 Jahre verfügbar gemacht werden, um eine gute Note beim "Indice de réparabilité" zu erreichen. So auch beim .

I have two options now ...

  1. Order Ryzen 7 5700G

  2. keep money, and build pc with new GPU (powercolor red devil)

If i get more familiar in time with FreeBSD and bhyve etc then new PC will make sense.


Now for future i need to look for server parts/ready solutions.

Actually, i have no idea which hardware to buy for selfhosting stuff.

Every video on youtube is like "Hey! build a low power server!" ... half video later "there's a catch! You cannot buy this CPU" 😂 Waste of time.

I need something that can draw very little at IDLE (c-states etc.).

Server purpose? i think local backup storage is good to start. Not sure if i'm able to build something in safe manner and expose to web.

How often do you refresh (i.e. change) your laptop, if you have one?

@boilingsteam It is missing an option for 5+ years, my X220 still works like a treat.

@PalePimp at least 3 years means more than 3 years

I want to play with "PCI Passthrough" / "GPU Passthrough" whatever.

I plan to buy Ryzen 7 5700G or something similar with integrated graphics card.

I wonder, can You use integrated graphics for baremetal OS, and for vm PCI passthrough, GPU (rx 580 8gb)?

Whenever i read about PCI passthrough everyone say "You need 2x GPU". I'm thinking about running OS on integrated card, and use GPU for vm.

The Asustor Drivestor 4-bay NAS devices are cheaper than Synology, but I have no idea how their software compares.

JeremiahFieldhaven,
@JeremiahFieldhaven@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@Taffer FWIW, I've had a Synology DS420+ for nearly 4 years now, populated with 4 drives.

The initial cost was admittedly significant, not going to lie, but to date I've had (almost) no complaints about it.

The DSM software is decent, easy to maintain, and everything Just Works. Could I have made my own system for less? Absolutely. But for a very neatly presented, self-contained, reliable system it works very well.

Taffer,
@Taffer@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

Since I can't stop thinking about expanding my NAS (I've got a 2-bay NAS now, apparently my brain "needs" a 4+ bay NAS), so I'm looking into building one from parts vs just buying the 4-bay Synology.

Finding small cases with four drive bays is apparently hard; they've all got 1-2 bays and a huge amount of space for a massive GPU because only gamers buy them?

Taffer,
@Taffer@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

Hey, you know what? For around the cost of upgrading to a 4-bay NAS, I can just double the storage in my existing hardware. And I can just plug in the new drives (one at a time) and repair the volume.

Reanimierung eines 15 Jahre alten Desktop-PC

Ich dachte auch. 15 Jahre ist jetzt nicht wirklich antik.

Mein Laptop ist auch von 2009 (Aldi) und tut alles, was ein Computer halt so tut.

Sogar Videoprojekte (Kdenlive) lassen sich problemlos machen. Nur das finale Rendern ist eine gute Gelegenheit für eine längere Kaffeepause.

Even more that I can NOT remember WHERE/how/when I got it NOR have ANY idea of what it could be ..

Mysterious hardware, no idea what it is or where it comes from.
Close up of one of those chips, again not a clue what this can be.

@llamasoft_ox WOW .. so it's part of a terminal that was connected to the CDC-6000 ? .. Make sense .. I am starting to suspect to remember where all this comes from .. but at this point I won't / can't say .. sadly I think all that stuff been really thrashed and destroyed very long ago 😢 NOT by me of course, and this was part of a dumpster diving ..

Long-shot to end all long-shots but: does anybody know anything about USB on raw Xilinx transceivers (e.g. without a PHY)? Officially it's unsupported, occasionally people say they've gotten it to work and more details on exactly how would be incredibly useful

Boosts appreciated for visibility

Mam sprawę do ludzi zajmujących się sprzętem, ewentualnie do jakiś adminów.
Jakie są szanse, że dysk SSD(M.2)/SSD(SATA) będzie w stanie poprawnie działać na lapku, kóry teoretycznie nie obsługuje takiej wielkości dysków? Obecnie mam SSD(M.2) 1TB, ale muszę kupić coś dużo większego i pomyślałem o SSD 4TB. Wszystko pięknie, ale wg ulotki producenta (z okolic 2018/2019), ten laptop jest w stanie uciągnąć max 2TB. Zarówno na złączu M.2, jak i SATA.
Dzwoniłem do pomocy technicznej producenta, ale trafiłem na gościa, który brzmiał jakby wczoraj za bardzo zabalował i jeszcze kac go trzymał, a co za tym idzie, jedyne co się dowiedziałem, to żeby patrzeć na to, co jest napisane w ulotce.

Grml. Meine reißen leider nicht ab. Nachdem mein Laserdrucker, der seit vielen Jahren einen hervorragenden Dienst geleistet hat, komplett mit Magenta eingesaut war und ich den mühsam gereinigt habe, habe ich heute eine neue Kartusche eingesetzt. Erster Ausdruck: Siehe Foto. Geöffnet: Wieder alles eingesaut. Lag wohl nicht wie gehofft an der Kartusche. Ich brauche einen neuen . Bis dahin gilt hier das papierlose Büro.

koma,
@koma@mastodontech.de avatar

@ljrk Danke für die Infos. Laserdrucker will ich eher keinen mehr, obwohl die Erfahrungen der letzten Jahre eigentlich dafür sprechen würde. Aber der ganzen Tonerstaub, den ich die letzten Tage in der Wohnung verteilt habe, ist schon eine ziemlich ungesunde Sauerei. Bei meinen früheren Tintendruckern habe ich wenigsten nur Klamotten und Hände versaut.

@koma Ja, verstehe ich auch sehr gut, ich drucke zu selten, dass Tinte Sinn macht (trocknet nur ein). Aber der Rest ist ja unabhängig von Tinte vs. Laser, viel Erfolg!

I think I need a new laptop. What's a good model?

I'll install debian on it. UK keyboard (so no apple). ~14 in screen. I'd prefer smaller & compacter, to powerful. But shouldn't be too slow. Relatively high budget.

@amapanda Framework: https://frame.work/be/en/products/laptop-diy-13-gen-intel. I’m not sure for Debian, though.

RLin,
@RLin@en.osm.town avatar

@Doudouosm @amapanda Debian seems to work fine on my Framework 13/16 using a live usb, only thing I couldn't get to work instantly is the fingerprint reader. Obviously just browsing around and doing some OSM editing isn't really giving a full image, though basic features like WiFi, Bluetooth, battery level and webcam seem to work fine out of the box.

There - done. :)

I suppose I could print a nice clean final set of plastics for the project housing, as I've incorporated all the changes made by soldering iron.

Frankly though, it sits somewhere such that we never see it until it fails or something, so the rough prototype print is probably sufficient.

Question for the geeks.
Every night i take my mac to the living room, bring it back, and plug it in to power with the lid closed. Each morning I plug it into the monitor and open the lid.

Why is it that all of my devices (mouse & airpods) seem to be reconnected just fine, but my split keyboard, & the split keyboard refuse to. I have to restart bluetooth on the computer for them to be connected.

???

@masukomi I gave up on wireless keyboards. They’d just randomly disconnect, and it was too annoying to deal with all the time.

masukomi,
@masukomi@connectified.com avatar

@lorimolson very reasonable / sensible

i’m happy to report that the Kinesis Advantage 360 and MoErgo Glove80 both stay connected (except in that edge case) and both could just be left plugged in

However… the Glove80 will drain its battery in < a day if you leave the colored LEDs on 🤦‍♀️

@scopique Prebuilt had a legit advantage the past years in that they avoided some tariffs. I think that's mostly passed, but still, nothing wrong with saving time/energy. If you do go the DIY route and need a Windows key DM me :) (and to clarify, a legit key)
