  • I heard the wifi situation was difficult to deal with

    Understatement of the year LMAO nah it was terrible. Typically the top 3 biggest PITA common issues was GPU, WiFi and trackpad, in that order. Every. Time. Didn’t have the right brand, you were SOL. If you had a Dell with that wonderful WiFi card whitelist the damn brands that worked were always off it or were crappy.

    Though I’d take WiFi driver issues over having to deal with that dam GPU bumble bee-thingy (idr anymore, the gaming laptop GPU “hot switching” thing)

    I’m going to go lay down and have my trauma flashbacks now…



  • How well does it go over if you try to say “well acktuslly…” when it comes to password changes.

    Well, it went over easy, but I also gained the authority to implement or toss such policies when I took my job LMAO

    In any case, I was referring to the “my environment” part since it implied you had such authority and were just choosing to emulate policies of others, ofc I don’t mean to make decisions you don’t have the authority to. Hard evidence is hard evidence though, it does give you a leg to stand on should you propose such changes





  • Note, I say DDR4 for cost reasons, if you’re willing, able and desire to spend more upfront for some future proofing DDR5 is newer and faster and comes in higher per-stick capacities. But it is considerably more expensive than DDR4 for the newness

    I clocked my 2 full 2u servers (1Us and 2Us (esp 1Us) tend to be the louder screecher variety because of the considerably smaller fans, 3 and 4U servers trend towards more quiet and lower tone, closer to a typical desktop fan) at 82DBs on a desible meter app whose most powerful GPU is a single 1080 for transcoding purposes that isn’t even under load ATM

    A TrueNAS probably wouldn’t be too bad, if you’re the type to enjoy whitenoisr to sleep it might even be beneficial.

    The Proxmox will be the one with the 2-4 GPUs yes? It’ll fucking sound like a 747 is taking off in your bedroom whenever it’s under load

    Also don’t forget cooling, I basement is a good option because its naturally cooler, but you’ll still need to ensure good airflow. Assuming your basement is not in a hot state/country, if it is you’ll need to explore dedicated active cooling systems. If you own or otherwise can make modifications, a split mini/heat pump system would do well.

    It will generate considerable heat, I posted a meme just the other day about my servers doubling as a heater supplement system. Kinda of exaggerating for the meme, but it does have an effect. It increases the temp in my basement office 8-10 degrees under load





  • Stick with DDR4 ECC for a server environment, if you want to not be limited to 70b models, id dump more money in trying to snag more GPUs, otherwise you’d probably be fine with the 3000 series as long as you meet vRAM requirements

    Have you considered secondary variables? Where are you going to run this? If you’re running it in your house this is going to be noisy and power hungry. What room are you running it in? What’s the amperage of the lines going to the outlets there? Is your house older? It’s probably a 20 amp on a shared circuit and really easy to overload and cause a fire

    This is what happens when you overload a homes circuit lines

    False, that appears to be hiddenlayer posting to all 3 major programmer humors

    I only do .ml to here as part of a small ongoing effort to direct content away from a tankie instance to other instances. I don’t even crosspost based on how “hot” they are, just whenever I see them.

    I didn’t even know there was a .world programmer humor, why did they use the exact same .ml version logo lmao




  • Hm sounds like the bug is in the code that handles the “one session only” rule

    Per Microshits T&Cs you can only have 1 session of any kind at a time unless you get the super special business multi seat RDP license (because ofc)

    I actually have a Powershell script I found awhile back that patches the RDP DLL so it stops caring about multiple sessions

    I spent entirely too much time trying to track down

    Been there, if you have the audacity to force your way into the WindowsApps folder you’ll bork the permissions systems so bad that every single post about how to fix it ends in “just reinstall” me being me that was an unacceptable answer.

    Took me a week to fix it so the MS store would launch again. On the flip side, I have a whole new understanding of the permissions system on windows. Heh
