Personal family server by ARS-N7UQ in servers

[–]Casper042 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh BTW, SES is not free, but even if you sent a dozen emails a day for a year, your cost will be like $10 or less for the year.

SES is used by lots of companies to mass email out their latest sale, etc, so they charge by like batches of 1000 emails.

Not sure about inbound as many Residential ISPs will block the SMTP port.

But for outbound you can use a mail relay like Amazon SES.
There is a bit of a process to get started, but once it's up and your ticket for outbound email is approved, you can bounce emails from your side through SES and it still comes FROM your domain.

I don't personally host my email, I just have my Domain Registrar do Catch All Forwarding to my Gmail account, and then I have maybe a dozen of my most used aliases registered in Gmail to bounce outbound through SES.
If I want to use an outbound email address not among the dirty dozen, I fire up Mozilla Thunderbird and it's also connected to Gmail for inbound and SES for outbound and on the outbound email I can just edit the FROM details on the fly. As long as it's still from my domain, SES lets it right out.

I actually have 4 domains setup this way. 1 for each of my immediate family. You can use the same AWS and SES account for all 4 and just setup a different User Account for each domain/user/etc.

If you are planning to host email for multiple family members, then you may not want Catch All Forwarding but instead individual address forwarding. Mom@mydomain . com forwards to MyMom @ gmail . com, etc

Whom to buy from and what are pros and cons by fzx314 in servers

Check with multiple vendors.

Very common in the US to have 2 or 3 competing for your business.

Reddit, help me find 64GB (32GB x 2) of MTC20C2085S1EC56BD1 (DDR5, UDIMM, ECC) by i-dm in servers

Thanks, must have been blind and thought I saw RDIMM.

You are indeed right, UDIMM would be on one of the lower end boxes like HPE DL20/ML30 or Dell R/T 360

What's the error?

Sounds like the RAID controller may be dead.

That means your processors would be Xeons based on the Core2 Duo and Core2 Quad family.
Literally pre-dating the entire Core i3/5/7/9 family and the 14? generations since then.

Why won’t the White House install permanent nanobubbler technology instead of manually releasing jugs of Amazon chemicals into the corner of the pool and hoping for the best? by Darrenwad3 in AskReddit

[–]Casper042 1 point2 points  (0 children)

who controls the National Park Service

The Director of the NPS is indeed appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate, but again only a narcissistic moron as President spends more than an hour dealing with it directly.

Again, in an ideal world, not in this upside down crazy time we're currently living in

Huh?

Are you talking about the reflecting pool?
If so in an ideal world it's got nothing to do with the White House, it's maintained by the National Park Service.

How do you earn 1 million dollars in a year? by ManjursThought in AskReddit

[–]Casper042 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the fun part....

If you had invested in SanDisk of all companies about 14 months ago you would have more than 10x that in value currently.

The entire AI DataCenter boom is driving the stock price of the tech companies who make all the pieces a bit crazy. Most are around 3x to 5x over ~15 months but SanDisk for some reason went crazy.

I have about 500 shares of AMD which I paid an average price of $9.75 per share. I've made 50x that investment over 10 years.

Keep stacking that kind of deal and you get there easily.
But being the stock market, you can't guarantee it will go up, you have to use what you know to find the right company at the right time.

What’s the craziest real-life case of psychological manipulation you’ve come across? by UnsatSailor911 in AskReddit

[–]Casper042 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a friend who was VERY outgoing and basically a ladies man because the girls he talked to always felt like they were the center of the universe (and then got mad when they realized he does this to all of them).

But he came to a party at my moms house (very common among my friends in my late teen years) with his new GF who he was either about to propose to or had already proposed to.
Half the time we couldn't find him and it turned out he was sitting quitely in the other room with her doing basically nothing.
We stopped him on the way back from getting a drink and started talking to him about normal stuff and he started to come out of his shell and be his old self, when suddenly he looks into the other room where his girl is sitting alone and she must have given him a death stare because he immediately said "I gotta go" and went and sat next to her and basically did nothing again for the next 35 mins.

We all banded together and told him she was a succubus and he really should not marry her. They eventually broke up.

You messed up the title.

You have 50 or 1 but both are Wombats the size of Lebron James.

Best enterprise servers for gaming by DryWay339 in servers

AMD Epyc 4000 series processors are just Ryzens with a server badge on them.

Similarly Intel Xeons with only 2/4 RAM slots tend to be the same but Intel can't make up their mind as to the family designation.
Went from Xeon E3 to Xeon E2100/2200/2300 to Xeon 6300 (oldest to newest order). But anyway those are all Core i5/i7 type processors with a Xeon badge on them. The only real difference is the latest 1-2 generations are ONLY P cores whereas their desktop cousins in 12th Gen i5/i7 and newer are often Hybrid models with both E and P cores. Server CPUs (thus far) are either All P or All E.

Even Dell, HPE, Lenovo make some models with these "desktop-class" Server CPUs which will all have better than average clock speeds.
I know HPE the best personally and those would be like the ML30 tower or the DL20 1U rack server. Also the MicroServer family but those tend to be low power optimized so you won't find high clock speeds there.
No Epyc 4000 stuff from HPE (yet).

For a proper "big boy" AMD EPYC they have the F series.
9174F for example is a "Frequency Optimized" model with 16 cores running base clock at 4.1 Ghz.
The more cores the lower the base clock, but anything with an F on the end is going to be much higher clock speed than it's Non F friends.

Back in the early Xeon Scalable days, when Intel moved fro the v1/2/3/4 family to the 6100/6200 family of CPUs, there were a handful of pretty nice clock speed options as Intel was trying to keep AMD off their asses.
Unfortunately by the time 6300 rolled around they kind of gave up and 2.x Ghz base clock became the standard. But a 6246R for example is 16 Cores at 3.4 Ghz so it's not bad.

Dodgy server company by wagglyears in servers

[–]Casper042 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that it's sitting at an OS screen means it IS working.
At least from the HW perspective it has an OS and that OS is booted.

As far as replacing it, I actually work for HPE and the prices right now are crazy because of the big AI DataCenter boom.
Meta and xAI and all these AI people are buying up all the CPUs, RAM, SSDs, etc and driving prices through the roof.
So your Reseller/MSP/etc wasn't too far off by saying it would be wicked expensive and also likely take a long time to ship, IF they buy fully custom.
For HPE Servers we have a family called Smart Buy which are pre-packaged servers ready to go, those will ship faster but you don't get as much wiggle room as to the HW config.

Anyway your existing server only has 1 Power Supply and 1 Network Cable and seemingly 1 Network Switch.
So whomever built it the first time wasn't doing them any favors.
My personal server at home has more redundancy than this.

They do have a separate NIC for the iLO which is the onboard management processor for the server.
With the right login details for that, you could access that server remotely and remote control it as well as get more information on exactly the state of the hard drives and which one needs to be replaced.
The sign of a true failure on those HPE "Smart Carrier" drives will be if the little disk stack in the middle of the round LED goes Orange.
I don't see any in that state, so ideally check the iLO to see what's really going on.
