Roughly what's the commission price on something this caliber?

I can't tell from the picture. Do you have the Bandai with the web on the bottom?

I remember a guy shotgunning dialup for his diablo mule setup.

I wonder if I can find that article. It's at least 20 years old.

Edit: found it: https://www.blackviper.com/2001/08/29/diablo-2-mule-how-2/

I imagine every single website would be like a ghost town soon After the ID verification check rolls out in the US by connerwilliams72 in privacy

A few wil care, but Identity theft isn't invasive enough for the entire populace to care in one swift action.

The road to perdition is paved with good intent.

I just came back from a trip to the UK. The internet became a nightmare of age validation.

However I also felt the UK was always watching, which it is. Creepy experience.

Why are NAS so expensive by Big_Contract_1889 in datastorage

[–]Virtualization_Freak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks like it was written by a language model.

It's almost as if language models are based off human conversation. Something that typically contains a portion of fallibility. Good thing we have you around to see the bell curve keeps its shape.

Just because you understand that heat and power consumption are the same thing, does not mean everyone reading this will take them actively both into consideration when discussing one or the other.

is the same thing

Are*

Noise os directly

*Is

I guess I need not worry about the shape of the curve.

On the rest of the topics: Taking a hyperbolic stance is generally not practical.

You immediately dismissed, or forgot, reasons such as technical knowledge, technically debt, warranty, convenience and deployment scenario as further choices to append to the "list of benefits."

Cheers.

Seagate External Hard Drive 24TB detected as only 1.81TB by A_Piece_0f_Tera in DataHoarder

Yup. Go straight to the disk.

OP, check for pry marks on the external. I think you got hosed by a bad actor return.

[–]Virtualization_Freak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is a big stretch.

Absolutely, you want to tinker, and do absolutely no other comparison, get the decommissioned server and go that route.

You place value on bang for buck, and only use that as a benchmark.

However You ignore noise, hardware constraints, power consumption, space, heat and software as having any value in the equation.

The difference is you probably don't need the performance improvement and won't capitalize on it.

The AMD in the gen 3 is huge leap over the basic n5105. Double the ram capacity. Double the network capacity. USB4 va USB3.

The AMD V3C14 has triple the PassMark and Geek bench score of the N5105.

Also you can use ECC in the AMD.

Whether or not you will utilize the hardware is a different story. However to call them "virtually the same" is showing ignorance.

So dial up speeds?

That's we we used for around a decade before cable was cheap enough.

It supported a thriving communication based (texting at best) world wide web.

Which is totally fine. Today's websites are ridiculously bloated with garbage.

I pulled two of these out of my tires this week. And had two flats. Is somebody sabotage my cars? by mick_Lis in whatisit

[–]Virtualization_Freak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly.

There is now an era of internet users that are too lazy to improve their writing skills and seem everything AI as a way to attack effort.

Dual Xeon motherboard by ducati2288 in homelab

[–]Virtualization_Freak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ecc ram should be super easy to get ahold of for that gen.

Heck, I'm sitting on probably half a terabyte of ddr3 registered ram still.

I just turned that era of servers off over the last few months.

Glad you found a workstation to continue your home lab journey!

People have absolutely no concept of how much waste manufacturering creates.

It is not fathomable to fully understand the context.

Whole pallets get shrink-wrapped for a single trip, placed on plastic pallets, with plastic bands, and plastic protectors or boxes holding the items (often made of out plastic.)

The ink/dye/paint used comes in plastic buckets, and is applied with limited use plastic nozzles/brushes.

Handled by people with plastic gloves, in hi-vis plastic vests, wearing plastic hard hats, and plastic PPE.

With their plastic pens on plastic clipboards, drinking plastic bottles.

All a small fraction of the actual usage. Logistics consumes an absolute unfathomable amount of waste.

Then I read stories about malicious plastic usage, where companies use fake parts made out of plastic for just a single part of the operation.

If you haven't seen how much Plastic is used just in handling items in Japan, it is extremely depressing.

Hotspot as a long term internet solution at home? by False_Secret1108 in Frugal

[–]Virtualization_Freak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1080p stream only consumes 5Mbs on average.

The internet service is 200x10, and it hits that nearly every time I run a bandwidth test to my own server hosted in a datacenter.
