No no definitely not that… it's more like "my stuff is a bit weird"

Yeah I have this setup too just in case :p

I didn't use the ATX aux board because my mini PC does not have such headers. I just use Wake-on-LAN from NanoKVM web UI to power up my PC :P

I'm playing with one now (the full kit) attached to my toy mini PC. It's a little RISC-V device consuming a couple watts. No WiFi yet, but it attaches to PC and emulates 4 things in addition to capturing HDMI output to a web UI: 1

There's one gotcha tho. For Dynamic DNS you want minimal TTL, ideally less than 60 seconds, otherwise the DNS records will be cached and will not reflect the correct address during the short period of time window it changes. Dedicated

I never understand the reasoning behind the design decision that SRV cannot just return IP address and forcing clients to query again for A/AAAA again. That decision forces an extra RTT before connection can be established, which makes

Is it possible for SSD firmware to act “progressively” from SLC to MLC to TLC and to QLC (and maybe PLC in the future)? E.g. for a 1TB QLC SSD, it would act as SLC for usage under 256GB, then MLC under 512GB, then TLC under 768GB, and then

What about reducing interference? Optics would be better right?

SystemD has this nice feature called DynamicUser, making it much more pleasant to deal with unprivileged user and nasty ID.

Reputable SLC SSD is almost impossible to find nowadays, I’ve always wondered why we can’t turn a large capacity TLC/QLC SSD into 1/3 or 1/4 capacity SLC SSD for use cases like ZFS SLOG or other kind of cache devices. Turns o

Thanks but the STH video you linked is talking about new "ruler" form factors for SSDs and accelerator cards. I was wondering if anyone actually used the 3.5" HDD with U.2/NVMe connector.

by riobard 2y ago
Does anyone know what's going on with those U.2 NVMe hard disk drives? (see https://blog.seagate.com/enterprises/seagate-unveils-worlds-... ) I'm asking coz the OP mentioned the need for a PCIe-to-SATA bridge

> eHDD standards (and devices) that allow you to plainly read the SATA data from the drive, merely acting as a transport for the SATA connector itself I'm a bit confused, but isn't eSATA exactly what you are looking for?

by riobard 2y ago
It’s literally called eSATA.

Yes I did run `sensors-detect` previously and just to be sure ran it again. No voltage sensors on this box unfortunately :(

by riobard 3y ago
Ran `sensors` and it only shows CPU core temps. I guess my MB does not report RTC battery voltage?

Cannot do that if it acts as the always-on router…

Somehow I feel reliability might take a hit… :|

by riobard 3y ago
Yes, this is very annoying.

Speaking of RTC battery, I've recently come to the realization that I have to make sure that BIOS battery is not absolutely dead in always-on PC boxes. Background: I use an x86 box as home router. I've changed the configuration in

Nay I'm just refuting the idea that performance is the utmost, singular goal, as is pointed out by vlovich123 4-levels up in the thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39785690 Modern storage hierarchy has become

Not doing anything saves power and NAND cycles. Disk also might be in standby mode, which saves motor spin up and head load cycles too.

I wonder… wouldn't a physically disconnected ethernet cable work as well?

I was wondering if Amazon, instead of wasting money and time on Fire phones/tablets, had poured a portion of that resource into making native Kindle apps a thing, maybe it could have a more compelling ecosystem by now.

Nonce could be an implicit counter in which case it's not transmitted.

by riobard 3y ago
I think the puzzle essentially boils down to: what does it mean by "natively run application code"?
