Coll video.  A real reminder of what it was like before online gaming was really much of a thing.   Back in 2001 or 2002 we'd run long blazing fast Ethernet 10 Base T through the dorm hallways to get our multi player HALO tournaments on.   On X Box (No Bloody One,  X, S, Oorrrr Series X/S).   It'd be cool of more modern games supported a LOCAL multiplayer experience.  You know your GTA online's and things like that.  You know without having to phone home to some server out there.

The last game I know that kinda works is R6 vegas 2 from 2008.

after ubisoft cut the online servers people do VPNs to do multiplayer events.

Curious as to know which ZTE Device (LTE Puck) which was Jake plugging into the Ubiquiti Dream Machine SE, as their LAN Party's Internet Failover?

What OS/hypervisor would be running on that Minisforum?

Most likely UNRAID. Jake & Linus love it since it's super easy to use, the only caveat is that you must pay $60 minimum for a license (it jumps higher if you put multiple drives in the system...) I would recommend using PROXMOX once you understand the learning curve!

[dogwitch]

cool to know on sfp thing.

never knew a thing like that was out now.

Wondering what UI Jake was using for LanCache, I thought LanCacheUI was abandoned a few months ago?

[Synaptic Cipher]

Was really hoping to see some Halo CE/Halo 2 action. But alas the cameras can't be running all the time.

Not sure the exact model, our ISP provided it to us for emergencies.  We're planning on replacing it with a GL.iNet Puli AX Cellular Router (GL-XE3000).

Proxmox! It's awesome and free!

That's Netdata, a super lightweight general system monitoring tool. It's sick.

Yes i am also curious about that but why they didnt do a starlink connection since they have the bussiness model showcased on this video:

@LinusTech 200A 240V circuit is plenty hah! I have about 210 SFF boxes with integrated graphics crunching away on BOINC no problem. I have split my electric car charger circuit (NEMA 14-50) into 2x4 120V circuits, currently using 6 of them for the garage computers and can still charge my car at a slow 15A without tripping the 50A circuit. AC on at same time no worries. Cheers! I think it's somewhere around 12KW continuous drawn by all boxes. That includes a ridiculous Chia farm under a bed. 

 

And.. all these are getting internet via WIFI... granted they need very little bandwidth and occasional hiccups do occur especially if BOINC projects need to update the database file instead of just downloading/uploading work units, or a project goes down for some time causing data surge,  but does not affect compute only takes a minute a day to keep busy.

I can understand needing cable for gaming although your super duper Ubiquiti tech could probably handle it if no collisions.

Using an XB8 comcast modem, a decent repeater of some kind in garage for 30 boxes only, and then a single tp-link deco mesh node to ease load on XB8. All WIFI except like 5 of them. Only 2.4 and 5GHZ WIFI 5, no 6GHZ biz.

 

Perhaps this gives you another idea for heating the garage in the winter besides mounting the GPU stack under the desk this year.

 

 

+ 30 more in garage not seen in video on other side of freezer.

Does anyone know what the ubiquiti device is in the top of the rack?  Looks like it goes from there then into the udmse.

Not the Dream Machine Pro, the device that is above it. Looks like a Cloud Key G2, but that can not be used with the DMSE.  Maybe it’s hosting the cameras separately?   

[DaITguy]

That network setup was sick! Loved the fact Jake was able to swap out that dream machine and the new one picked up right away. lol I would’ve been scared the swap would go south and brick the setup.

Almost looks like their new cable modem but i think he has fiber right?

could someone tell if there was a certain "integration" involved within netdata to display the "served by plattform"? when i install netdata it gives me a lot of data but not this specific one.
