Cæsar, after entering Rome with his army against the law, bribes the Chief Augur with a fortune, to get a favorable divination of the gods’ will regarding Cæsar’s return.
Do you have an estimate on the energy consumption?
Oh, so the spec is fairly correct at 97W idle.
And being an old, slow CPU means it’s not efficient at load either (higher peak consumption & longer precising time needed).
cool
Someone on the github issue thread has been asking for clinfo output on affected systems, theorising that client issues are caused by issues with vendor detection.
This is a bit of an ask, but if it’s quick to jump forward and back between ROCm releases on your setup, would you be able to pass your clinfo output from 7.2.0 into the ticket linked above? No worries if not
can you tell me which device this is with?
Framework 13 AMD 7640U

The two links don’t work.
And you should ping @admin@scrapetacular.ydns.eu to reach him. I don’t think he/she read your reply as you answered to my comment. :)
I don’t get the resentment. In the end it is a hobby. You can have fun building everything from scratch. And you can have fun, using pre configured services.
What counts is that you get away from big corp.

I think you could take this arbitrarily far. Why buy a motherboard when building a computer when you should design the PCB yourself? Why go with a pre-existing processor? You should design the architecture from scratch. Why aren’t you mining your own silicon and growing your own ingots? You’re not a real nerd unless you have your own chip fab.
Some people get into self hosting because they want their data to be their data. They don’t care about the particulars, they just want that peace of mind. Others get into it because they’re already in a tech or tech-adjacent field and want to improve their skills. Some, such as myself, fall somewhere in the middle. I work in IT and am sometimes in the mood to tinker, but sometimes I just want it to work without much fuss.

These people are the worst. What they want is fine - but the idea that you don’t need to worry about the particulars is ridiculous.
As someone who has never done any serious coding work or collaboration, hadn’t touched Linux in 18+ years and am really only fluent in windows and Mac, and with limited time to get up to speed, I fucking love opinionated guides.
Tell me exactly what to do to get it up and running. Let me learn along the way, but don’t expect me to be able to read and understand the pros and cons of lets encrypt vs other solutions.
I simply do not have the requisite base knowledge to make informed decisions on this.
If you wanna leave it up to me how to do a golden gate assembly, quick change reaction, or a gibsok assembly, I can handle that.
Understanding the nuance of docker networking, reverse DNS,maintaining SSL, and just generally how to make it so I can use a hostname and not an IP address to access my services locally is something I want to learn. Eventually.
It’s not that your critiques of guides are invalid, but they may just not be structured for general learning.
Well, I didn’t exist in 1980s. So this is how I feel as a 2000s kid and current software engineer.
I think good ideas are worth updating for new generations.
I agree that CLI and keyboard driven systems are powerful and should be further developed. New terminal emulators like Kitty, Nerd fonts, and Lazyvim show what’s possible.
macOS runs on the Mach/xnu micro kernel and is pretty successful with it.
Apparently there have been attempts to make a free OS based on Apple’s kernel, but wikipedia mostly talks about them in the past tense. Too bad, it would’ve been good to have such an option.
Pure Darwin ist still around.
I tried out a Darwin distribution a few years ago. It was a BSD with some apple flavor. None of the GUI was included, not all drivers, firmware, etc.
The community is tiny. There was also little incentive to try and fix things or add features, because upstream Apple ignored it pretty much. Grabbing the sources and compiling them into an operating system has little documentation from Apple.
Mac OS X used to install XQuartz, a hardware accelerated Xorg/X11 server by default in the 2000s, but dropped it at some point.
Even back when OpenDarwin and such were around, people would rather install YellowDog Linux that supported PowerPC Macs.
I think at some point the old NeXtStep/OpenStep folks left Apple and the new engineers didn’t understand Unix or think it’s important.
Yeah, I pulled the plug on this mess last season. Y’all have fun, watching this.
I’d definitely skip this in favor of something consumer-grade. You can find used Dell Optiplexes all over the place cheap and stick a large drive inside/outside of it and use it for a couple of years.
A big old server is just going to drain your wallet on both power and parts with equal or worse performance and a lot more complexity for what 99% of home users will use it for.
It sounds like your main goal is probably a media server and an Optiplex will give you an i5 or i7 with QuickSync which works excellent for processing video. RAID isnt really necessary here because you can just download more Linux ISOs if these one are lost, though it can be great later if you buy a bunch more drives and expand into other areas where data is less replaceable.
Can’t say on access behind CG-NAT, as I haven’t ever dealt with it, but Tailscale might work as a free third-party option though that’s just a guess.
The rule of thumb with servers is * Performance * Reliability * Power usage * Noise * Size
The trick is to remember you don’t actually need much performance. A home server isn’t generally a powerful machine. What matters is that it is always there.
A raspberry pi would actually make a wonderful server. It’s power efficient, small and quiet, with enough grunt to do most jobs. Unfortunately, it falls down on reliability. Arm servers seem more prone to issues than x64 servers. Pis also seems particularly crash prone. Crashing every 3-6 months isn’t an issue for most pi usages. When it’s running your smart home, it’s a pain in the arse.
I eventually settled on a intel NUC system. It’s a proper computer (no HDD on usb etc), with a very low power draw. It also seems particularly stable. Mine has done several years at this point, without a crash.
Bigger servers are only needed when you have too much demand for a low powered option, or need specialist capabilities 24⁄7. Very few home labbers will need one, in practice.
It’s also worth noting that you can slave a powerful, but power hungry system, to a smaller, efficient one. Only power it on when a highly demanding task requires sorting.
Are 22TB Exos derives around 400+ monies (double the price from a year ago). 6TB are only half that? Idk even where to look for prices bcs stock is weird.
Yeah, these are dark times, evey gen things get worse instead of advancements ppl can use.
Still, keep in mind that those “nice” SAS drives are still slow & might have been in operation for 12 years.
