@cambridgeport90 Well less to do with what im used to and more to do with the fact that it is as good as the best you can buy, and at a fraction of the price. I will always pick the solution that is cheaper and functionally equivalent even if I need to get used to new software. In
fact I rarely "get used to" anything in my business as the software changes from day to day and client to client. So I just never get the luxury of getting used to anything. So if i get to pick i usually just pick what is practical.

@MutoShack@functional.cafe lolol I'll be sure to ask her. It had spanish writing all over the label.

@mono I acutally use them on the wires already for the power stuff. Might need some more though

@cambridgeport90 All of those monitoring capabilities are availible in linux userland. mdadm monitors raid failures and rebuilds and can notify you when it happens, other software for other types of failure and even some suites to do it all in one. Lots of foss options as far as that goes.

@Cheyenne Wonderful to have you here, looking forward to getting to know you. I have some of my astronomy photography displayed on wikipedia and i am kinda proud of that

@nerthos fair the artifacts probably dont persist as long on mastodon instances thought, just a guess. regardless your suggestion is valid.

@cambridgeport90 yI'd have to investigate how and what those sensors detect to give you an answer t that. Most server monitoring i use tends to be software based and really depends on what you monitor. Kubernetes is the goto commercially right now but that is mostly focusing on monitoring the software infrastructure not non-critical hardware failures, there is different stuff for that.

@nerthos hmmmm, weird never saw that artifact here yet. You on mastodon?

@nerthos First two i thought i answered the same person, when i realized i didnt i deleted one. Then i realized the one that i kept had a typo that changed the meaning significantly so i deleted and redrafted. Sorry for the triple post. Only one should remain though.

@MOTT I run vanilla arch on all my boxes except one older laptop

@nerthos About 10k - 12k if you bought it now. About 2k - 4k over that when I first bought it like a year or so bleeding edge

@cambridgeport90 @Surasanji I havent really looked into that model. I usually do custom builds.

@Strabysme Machine Learning

@Strabysme I have a farm of opencl bots mostly for R&D, when idle they can mine crypto to recover some of their costs but their primary purpose and most of the time what their running is ML based research algos.

@Surasanji gonna let my friends load windows and games on an external driver to try their favorite games maxed out :)

@Surasanji For most people yea it would be a waste of power even for extreme games (one of those cards can max out any game). For what i do though I max out not just my cards on one box but across half a dozen similar boxes all at once.

@hyperlinkyourheart The gpus alone were $8K, so unless your doing GPGPU work of some kind as I do it would be wasted on almost anyone

@Surasanji The irony is that gamers drool over my box and it neither runs windows now has any 3d games on it. Its kinda funny cause if i play any game it is a text based game like nethack and the only job the massively over powered gpus need to do is power the terminal transparency so the background is 50% transparent.

Talk about overkill :)
