Final Benchmarks Of #ClearLinux On Intel: ~48% Faster Than #Ubuntu Out-Of-The-Box
Even when changing Ubuntu 25.04 from its defaults to using the "performance" governor that is common for #Linux #servers, Clear Linux was still 16% faster than Ubuntu 25.04 with the performance governor.
For the two Intel Xeon Max 9468 Sapphire Rapids processors, the Clear Linux power consumption was very close to Ubuntu 25.04 with the performance governor.

I can also make 5000 character posts here

I shall remember that and make good use of the feature

I really need to find some new general Discord servers to join that are active. I'm in so many servers now that just aren't active any longer and I'd really like to find some new folks and communities to be part of.

Does anyone have any empty drive sleds for a Sun T5120? I am getting the server tomorrow, but I'd like to have something to securely mount the drives in there instead of just sliding them in there...

@european Obviously...

Tho with stuff that incurs costs at runtime like @nextcloud [neither #servers nor #traffic, #storage and #backups are free!] I don't mind this...
Tho I'd choose @monocles, @nitrokey or @Stuxhost over #STRATO and #IONOS any day...

movers today, homelab racks return. finally. and having 5GbE symmetric fiber is a proper match. let's see... bunch of amd64, various eras of arm64, POWER9 ppc64le, and a Mac G5 PPC-970MP (water-cooled) off-screen...

looking forward to rebuilding the networks 💝

@mattotcha the problem isn't to get high speeds. I worked for an #ISP that routinely offered 100 GBit/s #fiber links to other ISPs for their cell towers.

The problem is that there are few networks and #servers that are capable or rather willing (as in configured not to throttle) to go even beyond 100MBit/s per connection.

For example, #Netflix and espechally #YouTube compress the shit out of content becaus bandwoth is expensive and even the earliest 1080p24 #HDDVD looks better than 1080p streaming, as they have ~ 35MBit/s of bandwith whilst #streaming rarely goes >15 MBit/s and oftentimes extra aggressively reach < 5MBit/s in less action-heavy scenes.

Pretty shure Netflix et. al. do combat #StreamRipping with tools like (the discontinued) #AnyStream by limiting both bandwith and number of connections per account and only allow playback in realtime.

10+ years later and a blog post essentially not recommending ECC RAM for servers stills makes my blood boil. Without ECC you are blindly gambling on the integrity of your data. Use ECC + Post Package Repair (PPR) + ADDDC if you care about your data. #ECC #Servers

Today, I found 10GB on my space-crunched server thanks to deleting some gigantic system logs! 🗄️

This is why I don't permanently delete unneeded files: they could end up providing some much-needed buffer ✨

It is interesting to learn that over here I also have 5000 characters per toot!

@darkuncle the “building a complier” line tells me the author isn’t an SE, programmer or someone who hacks. They also missed an important point: “when you're writing software that only has to run on your own servers, you can use any language you want.” — pg.

I’ll bet Jane Street use their own #servers.

Alright, all of the Pis are now in use. There were quite a few services I didn't want to run in Proxmox and that was the main reason to have a "few" Raspberry Pis in the rack.

1: Primary DNS
2: Secondary DNS
3: PiHole
4: VPN (Tailscale)
5: Power/UPS status
