Hopfgeist,

If you want a proper server, it seems that Asrock Rack is the only manufacturer of AM4-socket-based server mainboards. Unlike desktop/gamer boards, these are designed for parallel airflow, typically from front to back in a 19" rack. These also come with IPMI remote maintenance, so can be operated headless in a remote location.

I have considered one of these for a while, such as the X570D4U, which also supports up to 128 GB of ECC RAM. Depending on what you want, this may be overkill, though.

(This was my favourite, because it has two M.2 slots, but there are others with only a single slot, since you said you only need one.)

Unlike gamer or other boards, these have no fancy black vanity covers and often won’t allow overclocking, but are typically very well designed and rock solid for unattended 24/7 operation.

Hopfgeist,

Thanks, that seems like it. So not only Jeppesen is affected.

As an update, the picture has now changed to a stylized map Europe, which is a bit weird. https://feddit.de/pictrs/image/1d77c851-9c8f-4d99-8341-daf639c534b3.png

Also: “Ransomware as a Service”. That’s how screwed up the IT world is.

Hopfgeist,

I like how the members are all captioned as “A Princely Warrior”.

Hopfgeist,

Parked aircraft are the most high-value tagets. It’s perfect for (rather: against) those. But I’m not sure if any airfields in active use remain in range, I think the Russians have evacuated Berdyansk (maybe Luhansk, too) air base. I think the AFU currently only have ATACMS with cluster munitions, so it’s no good against hardened infrastructure, only soft targets: concentrations of unarmoured vehicles and personnel.

Hopfgeist,

Is there a transcript/translation available?

Hopfgeist,

Thanks. I thought I heard Nasdarovye, which I knew in the context of “Cheers!” when drinking, I guess that’s the “good health!” part.

Hopfgeist,

I would say they’re operating next to no aircraft in range of ATACMS.

They did at the time of the first ATACMS strikes, which was probably one reason why the delivery was kept secret until after the first ones had been used.

Hopfgeist,

That’s a very narrow-minded view. I thought the same thing when the iPad was new. But I changed my mind.

Sitting on the sofa and watching movies or reading news is a good application, a laptop is too clunky for that, and a phone screen is too small.

Also use as an air-navigation device (not only) light aircraft, and replacement for paper charts in airline operations. There are many legitimate uses where tablets are exactly what you want. If it’s not for you, fine.

Hopfgeist,

Please don’t call it massacre. That word is only used for the indiscriminate mass-killing of uninvolved civilians. These are combatants attacking a free country, they had it coming. So while bloody, it somehow puts it on a level with the atrocities committed by Hamas four weeks ago, and it definitely is not the same. Put another way, a massacre is never justified; attacking anyone who invaded your country, is.

Hopfgeist,

Thanks. The point in my eyes is, if you massacre, (or slaughter) people that implies that they were innocent, which would make the act evil. And I’d hate for the legitimate attacks on the aggressor to be seen as evil. Because they are not. Just my opinion.

Hopfgeist,

Nice, one less to worry about. The Su-25 is not a fighter, though, but a ground attack aircraft, similar in role to the US A-10. Even more important to retire those.

Hopfgeist,

Unless there is an actual offensive going on, these are not really needed. They are attack aircraft (short-range air-to-ground missiles and rockets, small bombs and cannons, etc.), not interceptors or aerial combat fighters. Their air-to-air capability is largely non-existent, and strictly defensive. Russia may use some in Syria, but Ukraine would be their main theatre at the moment.

Hopfgeist,

Russian economy is beginning to bugle buckle under the pressure.

Otherwise that would be interesting to hear:

bugle, verb: 1. to sound a bugle; 2. to utter the characteristic rutting call of the bull elk

Joking aside, the Russian economy is effectively now a pure war economy. About 40% of government spending in 2023 was military. Not much else you can do, then. Economic growth, infrastructure, social security, whatever else the government spends money, is subordinate to the war efforts.

It is clear that that is what Ukraine currently has to do unless it wants to stop existing (with military spending having reached 44% of GPD, although most of it hasn’t been paid for by Ukraine), but for Russia it is just absolutely bonkers.

Hopfgeist,

Augmented GPS can offer much better resolution, reliably on the order of a few Decimetres, if you have a reference receiver/transmitter with precisely known location nearby. GPS has very clever tricks up its sleeve if you know how to use them (which I assume the AFU do).

Hopfgeist,

Yes, in total numbers Germany is the second largest donor of military aid to Ukraine after the US. In terms of fraction of GDP, there are other nations who have donated more, Poland, Bulgaria and the Baltic republics stand out here.

Hopfgeist,

Being German, I didn’t want to brag. 😉 But with all the legitimate criticism of a hesitant chancellor I’m a bit proud of what our government did achieve, although, of course, it could always be more. What currently worries me is Slovakia with a coalition government of far-left and far-right parties (maybe the Horseshoe Theory is real) stopping Ukraine aid, and possibly blocking or delaying EU funds for Ukraine. And of course who knows what’s going to happen after the next US presidential elections is anyone’s guess.

Hopfgeist,

Which is a sight to behold. Before the invasion of Ukraine, German military budget was 1.3% of the GDP, although it was supposed to be 2.3 or something for NATO member states.

Hopfgeist,

They managed to adapt the Su-24 for Storm Shadow, no reason it couldn’t be done for Taurus; they are of similar size and weight.

I think the compromise was that they need to be programmed on the ground, as the aircraft avionics don’t offer a compatible complex interface, but a launch signal can be rigged. Since Both will probably be used against fixed targets (airfields, bridges, …) that is not a big drawback. Still, it needs to be done, and is not quite trivial.

Hopfgeist,

Certainly looks that way. As if it wasn’t big enough already. In most pictures I have seen they have only muzzle brakes, but in some they clearly have suppressors. A useful side-effect may be to reduce the visible muzzle fire for night operation.

Hopfgeist,

Bullets are deflected along surprisingly sharp bends in a barrel (or any other pipe), so it would be sufficient to hit the tank gun muzzle roughly from the front, and it would probably hit a loaded projectile.

Hopfgeist,

Is that the same woman who said they should nuke Siberia to create a NEMP to destroy all pre-1993 electronics (apparently, anything before 1993 survives any EMP, and anything after that will be destroyed, no matter where you detonate the bomb), so Russians could again live a simple life?

Dell T420 mainboard in T320? Differences? Heatsink? Air Baffle?

I have two Dell T320 servers, which work great. But I’d like to have some more CPU power, so think about upgrading to the T420. It is almost the same, except that on the T420 main board, which seems to be otherwise the identical PCB, the second CPU socket is actually installed. (In the T320 it’s just empty soldering points.)...

Hopfgeist,

It’s much more than a fan shroud. It’s a baffle specifically designed to guide cooling air over the CPU heatsinks and the RAM modules. This kind of airflow design is very common in servers. I wouldn’t trust it without, especially since the CPU heatsinks have no dedicated fans, but rely on the aerodynamic functioning of the baffle.

And yes, I know they are very similar, in fact I am quite (but not absolutely) certain that they are identical except for the actual second CPU socket. It’s almost as if you didn’t read my post. Even the soldering points for the second CPU socket are there in the single-CPU T320. They certainly won’t have different PSU connectors. They even share part numbers for the case.

Hopfgeist,

Clearly you neither read my post nor looked into what the air baffle in the T320 actually looks like. So whats your point?

Hopfgeist,

Thanks.
