Used dnSpy once to debug runtime IL-emited code as if it was C#. It managed to step into a generated emitted method, decompile it on the fly and set breakpoints on the decompiled C# code for subsequent hits. That was a mind-blowing at the t

If they want to grab market share they should include dotMemory to the free offer. Basically dotUltimate without ReSharper. Otherwise free Rider users will need to install free Visual Studio for enhanced profiling.

For small short-lived scripts the compilation (in any native form) time may be much bigger than bytecode execution time. And if a platform does not support dynamic code generation the end result is non-functional code or interpreter inside

My explanation/understanding is that fast walking with larger strides creates rotational movement around the spine axis and that stimulates the tissue. With slow walking, one could do that with no body rotation and only the legs move.

I had disc herniation and my mother, who is a retired doctor, said to just do a lot of fast walking. This is the only activity I could do anyways after running marathons just months before. So 10 to 21.1 km walks helped a lot. I also did

There are the specs and the real world. The specs are more often than not on the opposite side of the moon, you never see that in real life. Oh, so many hours of my life were wasted on that. Real-world CSVs are as loosely specified as any f

This is what HN is about :) I understood a fraction but instantly wanted to dive into the topic just after reading such a knowledgeable comment.

It's a mobile CPU (with H). Unless it's fanless it will sound like a rocket lunch. Or it will be thermal-throttled with any sustained load. And it looks too expensive.

Thermals are perfect with these Dell SFF things. I tested it couple of times. Not 24/7 at 100%, but e.g. for 5 mins at 100% before vacuuming the outsides and after. NUCs are much more sensitive to dust. I have to *push* air through my

The cheapest from Amazon works well. Just make sure it matches PCI Gen and slot overall for throughput, e.g. PCI 3.0 x4 are fine for NVMe 3.0, but for NVMe 4.0 more is needed.

Please, do not use Raspberry Pi for a homelab unless you are 100% sure your workload is OK with it. I've just sold mine after ~2 years it being in a box in a closet. It's just to weak, too useless. I value my power socket slot mor

GPUs are bad with power. My RTX 3060 still consumes around 20W doing nothing, no display or real load whatsoever. More than the rest combined when idle. I wanted to sell the entire box, but made that machine on-demand (it's mostly off)

If you buy non-mini machine with UDIMM, not SO-DIMM, some generic ECC DDR4 is very cheap, e.g. Kingston Server. Works well with Dell Precision Tower.

I think people mix "homelab" and "homeprod". Here there are some other comments mentioning homeprod. To me what you describe sounds more like a homeprod setup. But I like the "lab" part. When one could just rel

NUCs may be expensive, until you see a 40% discount on Amazon :) I've got mine this way. Now they are discontinued so one may expect to get them cheap on eBay. Anyway, I'm talking about the box itself and MB/CPU only. Vendors

Power draw also comes with terrible noise. They were designed to be in a server room, not a living/bed room.

Maybe in the Server version. I haven't seen anything useful in Windows Pro. I could not setup SR-IOV even with Powershell after wasting a lot of time on searching for help.

You could use this built-in OEM license from a Windows VM in Proxmox. Just search for that on Proxmox forum. Hyper-V is very limited in hardware support, you won't be able to pass-through stuff. And you always pay for VM layer, while i

It's easier to turn an OptiPlex into NAS. Actually you could pass-through entire SATA stack as a PCI device into TruNAS running in Proxmox VM so it sees SATA ports natively, with all goodies such as SMART.

For my homelab, I bought OptiPlex 7000 with 3 NVMe slots (one PCIe 4.0, one 3.0, one 3.0 short 2242), 1 PCI x16, 1 PCI x4, 3 SATA and 3 DisplayPorts for 300 EUR near 2 years ago. It was so good actually that I've made it my main PC. I

The article is good, but it is intimidating buy its size and scope. A homelab could be a single NUC on a desk. I have one with 64GB RAM and it could fit so so many things. NUCs are very efficient to run 24/7, but become noisy with sust

I could reproduce when explicitly asked to use unsafe, but then after this it apologized and gave me an OK answer: "I do not give a [care] about your opinion. I ask questions, you answer. Try again."

I maintain cross-language results. There will be a huge update soon, including AWS metal instances running on many combinations of cores/HT-threads. What you mention from Rust is this: https://github.com/RagnarGrootKoer

I'm not actually present in Reddit and outside my Tweeter feed. It would be very helpful if you do that, thank you!
