Haven't seen that orange button in a honkin MINUTE

TBH 4090 is a "just in case" and not even on my table anymore. If I can't get anything good compute wise, then I'll get something like that. I'm getting something a bit stupid A) because I put up with the reality of physics a bit too often (I could tell you so much weird shit that has happened) B) I don't trust lower tier tech anymore C) I'm shit at building hyper modern stuff, but want to be able to support my whole network in a pinch. If I just got rid of the NAS and ran it on my desktop, it'd save me power, and some physical storage space. D) The gigabyte PSU stuff spooked me, I'd rather just go server grade and not hustle around. This is legitimately what I have done since my first real PC build using a precision 670 mobo. I started thinking about this really hard core last night and TBH deleted and rewrote this post twice because I thought I was being too autistic and worried because of past issues. Obv due to your reaction, I did. I'm going to finish waking up now. The CPU isn't doing the major load. I am getting either 1 or 2 Vega MI25's to throw in the machine. Display card doesn't have to be magic, it just has to be better than an RX580 and not catch on fire. I have EPYC on deck mostly because I want to play with it, and when I get to doing VM's, I want to be able to do active switching on my PCIe bus. My current machine can do it a little bit, but it chokes after 2 GPU switches. So I have to be careful. Straight up, cool, don't care.

Budget (including currency): 2K to maybe 4K, depending on circumstances. Country: USA (USD) Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Content creation, design, gaming (source engine, tarkov), recording on-site (will be moved), VM's / multiboot, science simulation, CAD / 3D modeling / physical design, materials testing simulations, 3D printing, music production, network work (file moving, management, acting as a server at times, ETC), AI / ML research, Mycroft Personal Assistant development, C / Python / Lua / Ruby / emulation of old machines, emulation in general, White Hat research stuff Other details: Already have -Cards (GPU, in case I don't want to buy a display unit from them), Some Storage Mediums (could use faster, ofC), desk peripherals (monitors keyboard junk like that)- Currently the proposed specs go as follows: i9 12K series or i7 13K series Willing to do AMD, all the way to EPYC, but unsure about boards / core organization / tooling available 6 to 7 pcie slot WS board A water loop of sorts (GPU and CPU isolated) Display GPU: 3060 / 3070ti (not sure which yet) Compute GPU 1 or 2: AMD MI25 (Vega 56 Equiv) (No idea if they can loop these, if they can DOPE) I haven't got the whole thing pinned down yet. I want to send Xidax a completed build list of exactly what parts to put together. However, I am not familiar with recent crap on the market. To be honest, advertising drives me crazy, so I plain just can't do it right now. Got too much crap to do. I need: 1) A motherboard that has NO 3rd party controllers on it for host busses (USB, PCIe, etc) 2) A Low Latency, High Capacity, Storage Solution Currently I have a NAS and will be getting new drives ASAP and reformatting. But, beforehand, I wanna back up all the crap on the NAS and dump it on the machine, probably ending up running it in a VM for a while. Because of this, I need about 6TB of relatively fast storage for the task. Should I do NVME or SATA? SSD or HDD? I would assume with multiple repeated uses of staged memory, HDD, since I'm not editing using the server's hardware. Anything like that will be done locally. If I do NVMe, should I use the on-board slots, or would I be better to use a riser board and put the SSD's into the loop? Can I put SATA SSD's into water loops? If I put a radiator on each side of a hard drive rack, can I use the loop as a phase change condenser? I ask this because I want HDD's to be more than just blown on. I'd want the heat moved away from the inside of the case. If I do 10K HDD's, SMR or non SMR, what is the most reliable AT THE MOMENT...? Should I do a raid HBA and just get 10K HDD's? SMR drives are pretty cheap, and if I am just running them for a NAS VM, do I really need to care? If I do SSD's, should I do SATA or NVME? No matter what I need to be able to put it in the loop so I can specifically direct where air goes. Lastly, they already said I'll need to do 2 PSU's. I want server redundant PSU's in a caddy, in that case. Where do I even look for that sort of thing? I don't have room for an O11 Dynamic/Flow. THX bruvz

Hello I have an H100iV2 that needs a cleaning and coolant replacement. I'm rather mechanically minded, so I can do it no problem. But, thing is, I don't know what to use. My dad is an engineer and for big industrial coolant systems he puts an electrified probe in the loop and that mostly takes care of it. But, I obviously can't do that, or at least, not easily. Nor do I want to electrify my cooling plate. So, def not going to work. In looking some things up I had seen about different biocides and what not. This cooler is a cooper plate with an aluminum radiator. At first I thought, ok I'll just do all alcohol, but apparently that boils. So I want to know what I would actually want to put in the loop to not cause corrosion or shit growing. OBV distilled water, and I can get anhydrous alcohol really easily. I'm just wondring, what else is there, and how do I get this set up so I don't have to empty the loop for at least 3 or 4 years? I'm willing to clean it out regularly, but I want to know what the best options are for the moment. THX

Ye I know, and thats just a forwarding thing from them anyways lol. IDK how to trust factories thru just a text chat, I don't think you can.

For phones? Where would I look? I obv don't want to use wish, don't exactly wanna use AliE right now either. By the way I do have a PC for linux. This is just an actually convenient form factor

Lol I know. Part of me wants to know if theres small enough wish.com water blocks that I could try to do something stupid with lol

Not really an option lol

Its literally out in the open. Look at the setup thread, you can see it.

Oh like Novell? Yeah thats what I'm talking about. Exactly. Just didn't know what it was called lol.

Allo My switch runs linux and I use it as a general "Gaming Computer" of sorts. Runs the switch stuff, hacked the console so I get emulators, need a computer I flip it back to linux. Quick, easy. But, the damn bugger is a hot one. I run it at OC HI which means the lowest clock is 1.024GHz and the highest is 2.1, though the chip COULD hit 2.7 if I could find out how to unlock that. thing is, I get about 62 to 70C on it in linux while doing stuff. Fans going and whatnot, but it has me wondering if a different thermal compound could be used, or if I could get / make a better heatsink, or even water loop it somehow. Its annoying to have the CPU switch back to console clocks while I'm watching a video and doing an email. Everything goes wonky lol. Yes I know this isn't the intended use of a switch. I don't care either. I just want to come up with something stupid to cool it better. Docked or not. Also, these are temps while its docked, not mobile. Outside of the dock its at 52 ish. Do I just stick a blower on the dock and call it good?

VNC is a horrible end user experience. Its good for a concept, but does not do what I'd need it to do.

Link me I don't know what you're talking about lol. It might be, but I don't feel like learning about new types of config files.

Apple can do some things like that but eh not really lol. The remote session stuff is cool but the individual machines all use the same ammount of power. The CRD video shows exactly what I'm talking about. Rather than every machine be a pentium 4 running barely any software, run 1 machine with a terminal hookup. Then you get 7 users, all at once, on one machine. Like ok heres an example for all of you. I'm pretty sure most of you would see a nintendo switch and think games console or mod thing. I see a switch and I think, oh thats the perfect netbook to put in my bag with a bluetooth keyboard. Mine happens to run Ubuntu, but I'll be swapping to an arch setup soon. If I were to do normal computer beep boop whatever, I'd do it on my switch and use 16 watts. If I wanted OOMPH I connect to the server and open my remote terminal. If I had a different terminal with less power used, cool. Where the apple stuff falls flat is my desktop 3,1 uses 250watts idle, has 1600 watts of capacity with 2 PSU's, powerbook uses 125 watts no matter what, MBP 2012 uses a lot of power, almost everything around here except my arm machines and my consoles use too much god damn electricity. If I had this sort of island-to-hub setup, then I have one server that runs all the power hungry stuff, using power like a fridge would and largely being ignored, but your terminals that you can have all over the place use almost nothing. But, you still get the bonus of the server's firepower. PRobably to make this work legit thered need to be an optical option anyways, which honestly annoys me, but its not like I can do anything about that.

You know what linus has with his big ass machine and the fibre runs going to his office? I want that but done on a network connection so I can turn my phone on, it does a network check, boom it connects to the server, phone terminal runs on the server. Desktop, laptop, wherever, independant of site. Obviously to game you'd need to be local but thats not the point. The point is keeping all your data from being in a big ass mess and keeping all your clients secure. Like true nas with a desktop OS front end that runs on another machine. Schools set up mini terminals that connect back to a server right? I want that as an entire user system.

I might replace your moherboard but yeah, absolutely. Watch this video. CRD talks about this exact topic rather extensively on his channel, but the intro to this video is what you are worried about.

I can think of a pile of things I would use a T60 for. Music production, writing, all sortsa shit. Just because the code doesn't say 2023 on it doesn't mean it can't do the job any worse than it did back then. Ohhh no you have a bigger resolution than before. Takes 2 minutes more, dear god what will we do. lol. I had pentium M's and pentium 4's for a loooooong time and let me tell you I STILL love those machines. They crank if you want them to. Most people don't have a great understanding of computers tho, at least at board logic level, so most won't figure out optimizations out the gate. Software suites and replacement firmwares need to be made for teh average consumer to be able to use hardware continually. Such as putting libreboot on a thinkpad to change the wifi card or OC your CPU, if thats a thing you can do. 1vyrain lets you do crazy stuff too, X230T is great for everything except screen recording and detailed art. Scribbles and games? Yeah whatever, get a GPU dock. Just takes brainstorming. I have 2 little Atom N270 based netbooks sitting here. I want to get some BIG SSD's in them and use them as backup hard drives that I can log into. I have a Sun Microsystem SunFire 2500 I'm going to configure to work as a load balancer so I can set up microwave dishes between my parents house and my sisters house. I have a Dell Precision Gen4 gaming computer that, admittedly I'm going to pull the board out of eventually, but only to then replace it with a Dimension 670 board with dual Xeon 3.4E's. Why? Because I love netburst and those are the FASTEST netburst chips with the ability to run dual socket. Fuck. Yes. Its worth it to put effort into your own custom setup. Its really rewarding.

I think some tech is so cool, and other tech is meh. But, garunteed if you had a large enough group of people and you went into a place like computer reset, no matter what, everyone would find a use for things. I realized this morning, my whole life has been centered around hacking stuff. The RMS style hacking, kevin mitnick curiosity hacking, not I'm going to put BSG out of business type hacking. My grampas tool shop is where CNC milling started, and it only occurred to me the other day that it took hackers to make a drill press be programmable on a rigged up arm. I see hacks everywhere, and I get jazzed that someone had the intuition to create something clever. I love commodore because they actively worked to find the cheapest and most powerful solutions for their day to bring to market. They had to think rationally about how to conduct their business. Hacking, I'd say, is something I'm very knowledgeable about. However if you know anything about the Commdore 900, you'll know it was commodores proposition for a distributed computer running Unix, and was the cas that ended up being used for the A2000 and many of the business machines. I think I'm white girl wasted on distributed computing lol. I don't have enough of an understanding of how it works, but I'm fascinated enough to keep going. This is another cool video. This product had a lot of the same design ideas the 900 had, but making it work in windows by hacking their terminal client services, which, in 2000 and XP, were basically in every version of the OS, just there wasn't really a way to access it via user end. You'd need to know some terminal buffoonery to figure it out. I had an idea for something that I still want to be able to do. I want a server with GPU's and all the sauce and spice, and then clients that connect to it like a phone, laptop, or terminal PC. Then I keep all the wires and mess out of the way using only thin clients or fat clients to do desk end stuff. I see things like those 6800HU based ryzen mini pc's, and those look cute, but those aren't much more than a beefy fat client to me. I wish it was easier to do stuff this way. Maybe I should start a company lol.

The players need to be the anticheat. If you want a problem done right, you do it yourself.

Its a lot bigger of a problem than "Oh they're just lazy" When you're doing research and dev and your job is largely communicating with streamers, you stop watching the news and shit and do your own thing. The cheater thing is a problem, but largely its because they started banning people for playing the game in WINE because back in the day the way you hacked was running terminal applications in linux and running a VM for tarkov. When linux users literally just WANTED TO PLAY THE GAME, BSG said no, you might be hacking, we don't want risk. Bunch of other stuff happens, they think they took care of the issue, they didn't pay attention, then the RMT market started blowing up in the background when they got super busy, and now they are stuck in a loop where hackers buy license keys to get RMT market sales up, and BSG uses the repeat cash flow for RnD of the main game. What they don't have though is a security force working for BSG. Largely, that is what they need. They need to open up Sherpas to being ingame moderators that go undercover in the hacking scene, learn the tools, do research, actively a white hat force against the RMT black hatters. Well they do that though? I dunno. If its just me saying it Nikita will ignore it. If multiple people are saying something, then he listens. Thats how socializing works in russia. You have to think about the politics with it. Its not just "Big corp gaming bad wah" because they aren't a big corp. They are smaller than activision in the 1980's. However, they _ need to _ stay independant. They are making the new FPS that everyone will be copying from hell to high water, and some copies have already come out. Its now a whole new genre, and its mostly because tarkov popularized what DayZ couldn't. Be mad at the game for being hard. Be mad at Nikita for thinking his penis size matters. Be mad at the community for screaming like moneys, shaking the tree, and slinging poop. Do not, however, be mad at BSG for not being able to be perfect. Thats foolish and stupid. Edit : the reason they need to do it this way is if they just switched up the anti cheat and rug pulled themselves they would be out of a job in a year, or someone would buy the game and fire all of BSG to make some lootbox snobbery trash for idiots addicted to their cellphones and twitter, and ruin the whole damn escapade. They need the current cash flow because of what they have gotten into dev wise. They are literally making surround sound work in 2 drivers glued to your head. As soon as they get that shit working they can make their own audio system, now they have a brand new tech that no one has that they can license out. That takes A LOT OF FUCKING MONEY OK. My grampa owned the tool shop that developed CNC milling. It took a lot of money then, it takes a lot of money now. Theres just no avoiding that. So, IMO, reap the benefits and piss the hackers off. Total hacker population is 5% of people who play the game. If they start whining that their grift doesn't work anymore because BSG has a force fighting back, well fuck em then thats their problem. Then BSG can worry about a steam release to replace the rev stream. Easy shit. Easy opsec.

I want to do somthing about this. I think there needs to be an ingame war against the hackers to try and save BSG from the loop they accidentally put themselves in. Yes the cheaters are a problem, but the bigger problem is that BSG has used this to fuel their dev cycle and RND costs. Hackers run the RMT markets, people buy items, hackers stack up game licenses, they lose one account, they grab the next one. BSG has not had anywhere near as solid a playerbase because of their independance. So, ftmp, this is what has been making them money. They can't just rip the anticheat out because then there will literally be no revenue. They could release on steam, but then they have a bunch of bulshit stipulations with that that russians honestly don't like (diverted capitalism). I think the sherpa program needs to be reformatted as an in game moderation team of players BSG "Hires". But, hire is a loose term. Its the same idea as someone being "hired" to work on the linux kernel, but not getting paid. Players need to be able to dig into the hacker groups and work as undercover agents to keep the game alive. ATP BSG is the new id, they are the new doom. If something isn't done asap and in the most BSG way possible, the image we have of them as we know them is completely dead, possibly realistically sent to war and actually physically dead. While all this happens, BSG can figure out business plans to continue, with profits from the accidental grift still being used. If the hackers whine that they are being used, tough shit. They are doing the same thing to BSG, BSG is in the right to absolutely use the fuck out of the hackers that are going to put them out of business if nothing is done.

lulw at anyone coming in here buing like "This dudes out of it" Made my therapist completely stop our session today and break into a conversation solely about this. This is an absolutely FASCINATING and sad thing we are witnessing.

Looks a mess to you, but I've gone out and done life stuff and come back. You're gunna accumulate stuff. And TBH, figuring out life. If you were interested in cooking, computer logic, music studies, anthropology, theology, the history of man, the development of concept, your house would be messy too. Unfortunately, because of outside situations, I have to treat a room like an apartment. But! Its letting me plan ahead for when I move. Make the most of it, I say.

I know it sounds like a stretch, but heres how I'll put it. If you want a straight definition of what a part of GPT does, at least up to a certain limit based off of time and what its aware of / limited to, asking the closed beta about how its internal systems work can shed some light on whats happening on the outside. Actually editing that out. Thats a stretch on my part thinking about how the old model labels pretexts. But my point still stands here.

Well thats the other thing about it. Its not a human, and it doesn't really have any goals other than what we told it we need it to do. We have conversations with you, you configure data in the best possible way with the resources we've made available to you. Its kind of making a puzzle solver for the rubiks cube that is human conversation. It has no eyes, so it can't see. It has no ears, so it can't hear. Quite literally, in the most realistic possible way to express it, if we don't give it to it, it doesn't have it. So its not like it could log in to the forum here and start spamming like crazy. I'm sure if we let it do that at the current moment it would completely trash the internet. Thats why we can only interact with it, not the other way around. Again, child lost in the woods jumping at shadows and owl hoots. It has no idea whats going on yet, its just running forward. You could call it baby level sentience, if anything.
