Some power fluctuations going on in my city right now. I swear I actually felt that last surge. Like a magnetic impulse through my body, was weird. I thought I was going crazy or it was the wine talking, but I checked FB and people mentioned power loss right at the same time I felt it. I imagine when power goes out like that it probably sends a huge pulse of back EMF throughout the lines.

Would be interesting to have an AM radio of sorts running when that happens, probably hear a huge blast of RF on it.

WTFBBQ the JJ Abrams Star Trek is a decode old!

I'm starting to regret buying a truck. Almost twice a week I'm doing dump runs for family. Usually my sister. Getting annoying at this point. I just lied this time, said I'll be working. Really didn't feel like going anywhere tomorrow. It's technically true, she said "this weekend" and I am working Sunday.

Finally watched Star Wars Episode 8. It somehow escaped me to go see it when it was out in theatres then I kinda forgot about it. My HTPC failed me though, started acting retarded so ended up having to watch it on the PC. I think I'm going to scrap that Kodi setup and just put a regular box with a wireless keyboard/mouse and use VLC. VLC never fails me.

Might try a Raspberry PI 4 and just Raspbian, if that does not work then a NUC I guess.

As a side note, that triple bun is quite something, going to have to try that later.

Lol 64 core Threadripper announced.

That would make an awesome VM server. Need to build two systems of course, for HA. Actually 3 is preferred to prevent split brain.

It's a desktop chip, you want Epyc for servers.

It's a desktop chip, you want Epyc for servers.

Can you even buy Epyc? Server stuff tends to be too hard to get so I tend to just go desktop route. Built a couple Supermicro boxes but I overpaid so much just so that it's "server grade". Next builds will be desktop parts. Nice thing with server grade is the boards can fit more ram though... But I think even desktop Threadripper boards can go up to 64GB.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Damn even Threadripper aint cheap though... But that is a seriously skookum chip. Not even sure what someone would use that for outside of server stuff. Rendering?

Ryzen (non threadripper) chips are decent enough though... I want to build a box similar to my mining rig then have myself a 2 node VM cluster. Want to switch to Proxmox so it will give me hardware to experiment on before I migrate to it. 3 (or any impair number) boxes is preferred but think 2 works too.

Should pay off my truck first though...

 

[Red Squirrel]

lol and that chip I linked to is the 32 core version just realized that now. So 64 core would have 128 threads that's insane.

Why can't you buy Epyc?

Yeap. Content creators love cores.

16 core Ryzen 9 3750X

Differentiation is in memory channels.

Ryzen 2, Threadripper 4, Epyc 8.

As you go up in core count, memory bandwidth becomes the bottleneck.

That's on newegg though. I'd hate to see the customs on that. Been a while since I ordered from there as it tends to be my last resort as it's American, but pretty sure stuff ships from the states. Or do they have a warehouse here?

But still, at that price I could build 2 Threadripper systems or like 4-6 Ryzen systems.

 

[sdifox]

Newegg Canada. They have presence here now, though I don't particularly like the ownership.

I am waiting three years for off lease Epyc Rome servers 1P 1U 64 cores.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Crazy to think that companies only use a server like that for a few years. Seems like such a waste lol, but good for people like us who can get them off lease.

I can't picture what AMD will put out in three years

 

[Red Squirrel]

They may as well just call the next one Intelripper. As in, it rips them apart.
