Some Ryzen chips (I think- might be TR) often support ECC- see if you can find a compatible mobo that supports ECC modules and Ryzen sand! When I last checked there were a few products out there

THANK YOU! This is perfect!

Not coming in with proof but I have personally seen this- a buddy and I did some testing and the Ookla tests were the only ones we did that were much higher than the others. I'm sorry for not contributing with hard evidence but I'

Speaking personally, it's just another form of tinkering. Nobody HAS to do it, much like nobody has to buy and maintain their own computer, car, home, etc... We do it because we can and it makes us happy. Extra note- I would NEVER reco

Can I guess what you're running? It sounds so much like my switch- Brocade ICX series? Best $60 purchase I ever made!

Dude, got any links to where I can read more? I see what you have here and I want it for me! I wasn't even aware you could use HE's services without being a customer!

Welp, that was... A thing they did. Reminds me of middle school antics, except these are grown folks. Guess it's time to jump ship after all!

I get that but the blog discussed a pretty beefy setup. My whole rack still used less power than my gaming PC at load but after doing the math I ultimately saved more money by going serverless for my apps and dumping (non-critical) data int

That would definitely be a big help, lol. I also imagine part of my problem is my house wiring- the previous owner had the place reno'd in '96 and clearly got the landlord special

I dunno if this is entirely true- my current pfSense router gets as close to line speed as I'll ever be able to get with my setup (~900 both ways to a test server in Chicago and on LAN) and I'm running an (overkill) i5 in my gener

I mean, is this really any different than what they're already doing though? I wonder if someone could develop a firewall for mobile/whatever TVs and STB are classified as specifically to block this type of 5G telemetry (if it doe

I'm sorry- when did they start doing this? I've been mulling making the switch to OPNSense. If pfSense is phoning home aside from the update check I might have a busy weekend ahead of me

If you're crafty you can work around this- three of my servers (2 NAS boxes and a Proxmox box) were custom built from commodity hardware. I literally bought plain ol uATX and ITX decommed business gear from my local uni surplus store a

Lol I get sym 1G/1G from my ISP and a free static IP address for less than Comcrash offers for their 25/10 service in my area... The catch? _No IPv6 support whatsoever_

Nice and clean, great work! If you don't mind me asking, does your energy bill take a huge blow because of this? I had a modest homelab set up and had to start shutting things off due to how much it costs to keep it running I apologize

I honestly know how you feel, but... So what if you haven't accomplished anything? When I was younger I was as far down as you seem to be. 11 years later and I'm still not where I think I want to be in my career and I don't e

Security neophyte here- you are exactly right. It also seems like in this case there was a "default encryption key" and is 100% a part of the problem

Is there a way to reliably scrub the drives to make sure they're reusable? I know storage is cheap but it's destroying the drive really the only way to ensure data integrity? I'm a big fan of recycling old electronics whereve

Honestly I'd just ask if they'd like to talk about whatever "small talk" topic I'd want to know more about. To me it seems like a fair way to ask if they're open to conversation and then ask specifically about

To be fair, most people don't have to deal with this and they shouldn't have to. I have compassion because I've personal experience with it. I'm an outlier here. Still, I do think the US (and the world) should really put

Tell me about it: I'm a grown man and legit broke down into a sobbing fit after visiting the house I grew up in a few years ago and it was pretty much gone. Roof gone, siding gone, even the fir tree in front of the house is gone. I may

I grew up in Detroit and saw this first-hand. It's even worse when you consider the number of people just barely treading water. I think a huge part of the problem is that as a society we're okay with this. It makes me sad when I

I went down this path and determined that it simply isn't worth the effort. I now take the approach of "a device is simply another activity" and regulate it just like I do every other activity. I don't do anything specia
