Beelink sells a bunch of them, as do a few other vendors (who are all probably rebadging from the same manufacturers somewhere). If you're willing to spend more, the ones with Ryzen 7840HS processors are particularly impressive.

I've got a Ryzen 5560U mini-PC in my k8s cluster at home, and it's great. It is faster than the OPi5's that are also in the cluster; those are around the same speed as a few-year-old Celeron or so (edit: originally I said a N

A 16GB RAM OPi5 is $140 and a 16GB OPi5+ is $180, outside of sales. Both of my OPi5's have a small microSD boot volume and a 1TB NVMe drive that cost about $50, because when they're not doing arm64 builds for my GitHub projects, t

Nope, I just remembered the wrong one. 3W on the OPi5, not the Plus. Mea culpa.

You can bring it down to around 3W with a few config tweaks. Mine averages about that. (edit: wrong board! I was thinking of my OPi5, not the Plus. My OPi5+ looks like it's around the same as the author.) An M1 Mac is more powerful for

Of course not. He's saying that the cumulative mental effects of grinding precarity means that beep-boop rational actor theory doesn't survive contact with the pavement.

You know, you're right, it would affect that use case. On the other hand, "I would have to pay a higher amount of money for my teevee if they stopped bleeding people for no services rendered" is a really funny thing to get on

I don't really see how this follows. A perfectly reasonable option that doesn't affect your use case at all would be "don't charge a customer who didn't use the service during that period." AWS doesn't cha

Totally, they're elsewhere too! I was remarking more that in New England they're pretty universally How You Do Things, and it falls off pretty drastically once you get out of NY and PA.

Your post as a sibling to mine cracks me up. It really underlines how different road design is in the Northeast to the rest of the country; I can hit four roundabouts to go three towns over if I picked my route to avoid the highway, and pro

Yield signs, IME, are way more common in the Northeast than the rest of the country. They’re taught specifically in driving schools, too, or at least were when I attended, complete with “if you aren’t sure , treat it as a stop sign” (which

Y…yes? We do take the Big Bang seriously because there are observable effects of it. “As far as you can tell” is doing a massive amount of incurious lifting. Is phrenology making a comeback next?
