I think the "strategy" for most people is to do it manually, or make the decision to just revert wholesale to a particular time.

Quite a few options on https://serversearcher.com that sell in US/CA. Clouvider is available in alot of US DCs, 4GB ram/2cpu/80GB NVME and a 10Gb port for like $6 a month.

Speaking as one, they usually are. I mean polling is mostly BS, all the polling said the that UK was staying in the EU even as the voting opened - look how that turned out. Actually the polls were about the same (~65%) as the polls in say f

It's ok for you all to believe european === EU, but that is a EU only view (and factually incorrect). Also OK for you to buy stuff only from within the EU, I can understand why you'd want to do that, but obviously people outside t

I get so (unreasonably?) annoyed with people saying "European" and meaning "EU"; they're not the same thing. Stop it! You're missing all the providers based in the UK who frankly provide at least as many good o

Not a European company are they though. Worst of both worlds as they come under US and EU regulation.

Last year's M4 max MacBook is 520GB/s and (I expect) that should be closer to 1TB/s in a year or two by the time they are using ddr5. It would be deeply embarrassing if they had worse performance than apples cheaper laptop.

Maybe not old but if this was say a 6k card that would make it accessible to pretty much any business and at least some hobbyists. 160GB of Lpddr5 should be less than 2k, so it's easily doable if they've got the will. 4 x 5090s is

4x 5090s gets you way faster inference than I suspect this will, or the 6000 pro if you needed datacentre format at expense of raw speed. Given either of those setups is ~8k this will have to come in for less than that.

you can get 64GB on the mini with M4-Pro so that lays credence to no technical reason, but at the same time if the business reason was strong, why allow it on the mini but not in a macbook? I think this is equally likely to be due to reduci

I think they could probably 'use' 10X. There are rumours that one of the reasons they're not shipping the new Jonny Ive device is that they haven't got the compute for it. If you need 10X probably better to ask for 20x a

Would you not want a server that's nearer to you? For example looking on serversearcher.com 4GB/2cpu is ~$70-80/year from e.g clouvider and you get to chose from like 7 US cities.

Yes I think you have to, to a extent the same also applies to dedicated servers. Even if you own a server that you place in a Colo, they can still pull your drives or plug in a KVM. If you're data is sensitive encrypt it locally and se

The copycats are free to write thier own drivers though? They could even open source them. Why should they get to steal them from FDTI? I do agree the cost of the chips are insane however, they're ultimately worth paying for because of

Cisco use these chips inside their switches, they are all over the place. I still think this is good, I buy them from RS, any authorised distributor will not tell you to 'fuck off', if they do please forward it to FTDI. If you

Good, FR. Then you can send it back to who you bought it from. All vendors should do this.

Similarly I'm happy to share my ipxe scripts. It's just one of those things that you need to understand the fundamentals of before you start. It's about a hundred lines of bash to setup.

Not in my experience, super easy to setup a K3s cluster in a single rack. Certainly less hassle than VMWare was or XEN ever was.

Massive props for getting it done anyway. For others reading: In general a switch should never run DHCPd, but will normally/often relay it for you, your arista's would 100% have supported relaying, but in this case it sounds like

Docker is amazing for forcing the machines not to be pets, seriously, a racked sever is just another K3 or K8 node (or whatever) and doesn't get the choice or ability of being petted. It's so nice. You could maybe of said the sa

This was not written by a network person, quite clearly. Hopefully it's just a misunderstanding, otherwise they do need someone with literally any clue about networks.
