@igelsQTs They are Germans too now.

@SirFahrenheit @thor chowdah

@igelsQTs We care more about performance here. The imports are rarely stock even the German imports.

@igelsQTs Let's be honest. A Mercedes sings and a BMW hums a tune. Always in key.

@igelsQTs So not a Mercedes or BMW? In the US we call them Luxury cars.

@thor New Jersey?

@igelsQTs @doublecart @pomstan@срёт.онлайн You have rectified spirits there? That used to be my favorite drink.

I'm swapping back to an old project because I refuse to give up on it completely. My other projects are going to be shoved to the side as these are almost a waste of effort.

For those who were interested in my prior work, this will be something new. It's going to be simplified to the core ideas and held together with duct tape. A new view and a fresh start.

I'll try to document the development and have updates when they are appropriate. This isn't a small effort and it will take time. Hopefully this will be decent.

It is actually going to be made and released because it isn't going to be the massive time sink that the other set was.

@straw @Mek101 @itzzenxx Rack servers are designed to run 24/7 365 with only minimal downtime for repair. That includes all the components.

@straw @Mek101 @itzzenxx I expected a server brand. The server experience is going to be painful in everything but performance and reliability. The smaller boards are good enough it seems.

@straw @Mek101 @itzzenxx Is it a rack mounted server? The boards are real but remanufactured. It's better to get a rack mount server complete even if it's a less powerful Opteron. They can keep it all cool enough with the redundant fans and psus.

@straw @Mek101 @itzzenxx I think it's mitigated by the OS but it could be microcode. AMD didn't have IME or hyper threading. It was just more resistant to many of the attacks if not unaffected.

@thendrix Society has effectively done that. How many guys can change a wheel? Almost none because spares aren't included anymore.

@straw @Mek101 @itzzenxx It was a response to a lawsuit AMD got because of their weird cores.

@straw @Mek101 @itzzenxx It's G34 and available in quad socket configurations.

@straw @Mek101 @itzzenxx I despise Intel and AMD but that's what hardware is commonly available. At least with AMD you won't have microcode patches that just destroy performance. Also not as many vulnerabilities.

@straw @Mek101 @itzzenxx 6380 SE don't forget the SE part.

@thendrix It just seems like fear mongering. If it's really going to be that bad, there's no reason to worry. We all die someday from something. Do what you gotta do.

@straw @Mek101 @itzzenxx Opteron 6270 or something like that was about the best performance per dollar. I was going for a dual socket because I couldn't afford or power the quad socket servers.

Make sure to do research on that particular server. Some servers have terrible firmware and other oddities. The Xeons are more powerful.
