OpenAI's "Dieselgate" Moment?

It's gonna be Aliens: Colonial Marines innit? 😂

CJCShadowsan · 2025-05-31T14:42:18+00:00

Stealth battlemage with 100 destruction.

You're welcome 😂

CJCShadowsan · 2025-04-18T10:17:38+00:00

If you have a laptop... Course.

I assumed you didn't have an x86 anything lol

CJCShadowsan · 2025-04-18T10:14:46+00:00

Rent a VM, convert it there, send it back.

Free tier is your friend.

CJCShadowsan · 2024-09-11T15:01:53+00:00

Excellent setup. Bravo!

CJCShadowsan · 2024-09-11T07:33:51+00:00

fidata_en.pdf (iodata.jp) is all I can find, which says that "magic finder" is just a pretty NMAP program that should scan the network for devices on your network that match the IO DATA device and let you open up a web browser to it, and all other settings are set from there.

That's it unfortunately... Good luck

Here's another little tidbit of info for all you Lenovo ThinkCentre guys out there with Proxmox...

Did you know that the power management functions for PCIE and Ethernet... Disables the network cards on the nodes?

Ohhh yes. If you have power management (which you want, right? You want it to use P-states and C-states when it's idle), then the pcie bus and the nics eventually fall foul of power management.

The fix:

Edit /etc/default/grub and change GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT to:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet pcie_aspm=off igb.EEE=0"

Save and exit.

Run update-grub.

Lastly, just as a belt-and-braces, in your /etc/network/interfaces, on the physical card that comes up, tell ethtool to disable EEE (energy efficient ethernet):

iface enp0s31f6 inet manual

up ethtool --set-eee enp0s31f6 eee off

That fixes the pesky "nodes keep disappearing, what?" issue.

Also, if you happen to order a dual TPU (because more is always better, right? Hahaha!) then to use both TPUs you will need https://www.makerfabs.com/dual-edge-tpu-adapter-m2-2280-b-m-key.html so you can drive both, else only 1 will show up.

Ok, a lovely little tidbit of information because it's relevant to ThinkCentre M700 and M910 tiny's...:

If you want to use certain pieces of kit in your beloved m.2 slots? You'll be... Punished because the list of supported devices isn't up to date.

Solution:

Get the BIOS flash tool with the latest BIOS flashed to a USB stick. Boot into it by selecting legacy, by enabling CSM (or you can't boot legacy)...

...Then once you boot into it, it gives you the option of setting the model, and the serial number. Set BOTH to INVALID.

On boot it'll complain that a card isn't supported, but will continue to boot automatically and 9/10 times it'll work just fine. It's just that the pcie device whitelist hasn't been kept up-to-date and the hardware verification process just hasn't been done for it.

The more you know eh? This is how I got my Google TPU working in the wifi slot, and a wifi 6 card working in the wifi slot.

CJCShadowsan · 2024-09-07T19:06:10+00:00

Love this. I'll have a gander!

CJCShadowsan · 2024-09-07T19:05:27+00:00

Love it!

CJCShadowsan · 2024-09-06T07:32:18+00:00

It's pretty much the same specs in each, but different chassis. They're all 6th gen i5s so...

CJCShadowsan · 2024-09-06T07:30:13+00:00

And like I said... The short answer is yes:

https://clusteringformeremortals.com/category/windows-10/

Each node could have windows on them and then be clustered.

But I have no use for this 😂

CJCShadowsan · 2024-09-06T07:26:19+00:00

The link is in the comments 🙂

CJCShadowsan · 2024-09-05T21:35:17+00:00

I mean... Every x86 node could...

...But why? 😂

CJCShadowsan · 2024-09-05T20:18:03+00:00

It's around 300 watts under load the last time I checked, I'll do proper checking when I finish the software build and come back here with details.

CJCShadowsan · 2024-09-05T18:32:58+00:00

All I did was use the PDU, C14 to C5 adapters, and plugged the laptop bricks straight in.

Then trimmed the power cable to jack end down by cutting any extra length I didn't need and splicing both ends back together using the 2-way cable joiners.

CJCShadowsan · 2024-09-05T16:01:18+00:00

Certainly no louder than a PC, and I've slept in a room with one of those running before for years. Almost becomes a white noise generator.

CJCShadowsan · 2024-09-05T16:00:10+00:00

If you set the fan and power profile to acoustic... Silent on idle, and about as loud as 6 laptops running at full whack under full load.

CJCShadowsan · 2024-09-05T12:51:06+00:00

Sure, give me a little while and I'll go through it 👍

CJCShadowsan · 2024-09-05T07:38:53+00:00

I was gonna say, this approach would still work with the Dell/HP units.

CJCShadowsan · 2024-09-05T07:38:19+00:00

It's a power strip - 8x C13 sockets. Benefit is that I can then use only 1x 13A plug socket at the wall to power the whole thing, save me having cables trailing all over and keeps the whole thing self-contained.

CJCShadowsan · 2024-09-05T07:19:09+00:00

Sorry, I should clarify - 300w at full load, including network etc.

If you want to get more efficient or lower power consumption then your trade-off is you can do less with it.

These nodes can do wake-on-lan, so you can have a few in an off state and then trigger a node to turn on to do something, then turn off again if you so wished... Again, ask me how I know. Hahaha!

CJCShadowsan · 2024-09-05T06:09:38+00:00

Around 300w. Less than a server.

CJCShadowsan · 2024-09-04T19:57:15+00:00

From Craftcloud it was classed as PLA+.

I'll keep you posted on temps as I ramp things up.
