"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 .

Oder was fehlt uns sonst, um mehr Bewusstsein für das wachsende Nachhaltigkeitsproblem in der Digitalisierung hinsichtlich -Geräte und insgesamt zu erlangen?

@Poslovitch niveau batterie je sens qu'il ya une légère douille mais franchement ça passe ! Et on peut pas se plaindre c'est gratuit mdr...
Après visiblement c'est pas si grave, je verrais bien la gravité du truc à la tête de mon prof de SNT quand il le verra. Heureusement qu'il m'aime bien...

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.

@sourcerer maybe you will find something here to help your decision process.

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

Wie sich ein alter Rechner auch 2024 unter Linux aufgrund der hoch getakteten Prozessoren noch für einfache Anwendungsfälle nutzen lässt.

@gnulinux He, mein regulärer Desktop PC ist seit 12 Jahren in Verwendung. Das ist doch nicht retro.

@mina@berlin.social avatar

@matthegap

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.

@boilingsteam Gimmick had a predictable gimmick lifecycle. 🤷

@PalePimp yeah, but it's good that someone tries. For Apple this is pocket money anyway, they can experiment with almost zero risk

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.

@gilesgoat@toot.wales avatar

@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.
