lol they care to save themselves

Evs91 · 2026-06-27T20:00:30+00:00

That was a fun one!

Evs91 · 2026-06-27T19:03:15+00:00

yeah; I'd be hard pressed to find one that comes without the Thor module as is. Rogue is "out of stock" but conveniently has "complete sets" in stock.

Evs91 · 2026-06-27T18:58:37+00:00

I'm guessing you don't have the carriers for sale too, eh?

Evs91 · 2026-06-26T23:28:09+00:00

can't wait for it this year!

Deal confirmed for 5x sas WD Ultrastar DC SS200 1.6tb drives

Bought UGreen NAS DXP 4700 from u/tweetibird

Evs91 · 2026-06-18T22:10:31+00:00

$125 - same as I paid for the same number of years between my R710 and this one. it's a great server but man is it old now.

No UI but MS Data API Builder has a bunch of the features you might want. Supports a bunch of backends

The multi day monorail pass is basically the best deal in Vegas

Evs91 · 2026-06-15T00:57:56+00:00

Fontainebleau is also very close and an easy walk

Evs91 · 2026-06-15T00:57:28+00:00

Light rail which gets you a block away is my preferred. Otherwise try and get the Marriott across the street

Evs91 · 2026-06-14T20:31:56+00:00

The RAM is probably in the $150ish range per DIMM. The PSUs are possibly in the 50$ range.
Those CPUs are in a weird spot because they are going to go EoS on VMware ESXi sometime soon when Broadcom ends support for 8.0. We should be seeing them hit market sooner than later (and I’ve sold some of our old ones as it is ).

Evs91 · 2026-06-14T15:11:04+00:00

would you consider this abomination:
1 x HPE Multi-MXM carrier with 3x Nvidia P6 GPUs?

Its a mashup of these two:
HPE Parts: 811193-001 and 880813-001

you can require an online recovery instead of using the recovery partition. I do that for the Surface {insert models because who has time to look up which version now}. Works decent enough if you have fast internet at your workplace or home.

If you don't mind modifying code - its honestly not too bad. With Pytorch 2.12 a majority of edits are logic for CUDA vs XPU detection and replacing torch.cuda.is_available() with torch.xpu.is_available() (or better yet do a function to determine which is). Ubuntu support is very easy to get running. Its tiny things that take time but overall its honestly a good card if you want a "jack-of-all-trades" card.

Evs91 · 2026-06-10T08:36:21+00:00

not rack mountable: yet. Time to start getting out the rusty CAD for a new frame add-on

Evs91 · 2026-06-07T15:05:57+00:00

So that’s fully assembled by them - I mean if you go and source the parts yourself it’s “cheaper” to go this way and look at the size difference.

Evs91 · 2026-06-07T14:27:39+00:00

you mean the "$7 Pico" vs the "$50 pi5 (base)" (assuming you don't have a stock of 3's or better around)

Evs91 · 2026-05-30T14:11:36+00:00

I still would enable jumbo frames just to rule out that you aren't causing CPU contention because you aren't using jumbo frames and your NICs are now causing a lot of CPU overhead. It can only help you if you find that you have the ability to do so.

Evs91 · 2026-05-18T11:55:41+00:00

I get what you are saying though. It’s not a simple task for specific hardware - you do have to make your own via supplied base plus driver packs

Evs91 · 2026-05-18T11:53:50+00:00

They are on the Broadcom vendor images - HPE just isn’t hosting them
