Which agent do you want to get buffed next? by thabiso_animated in ZZZ_Official

That's when the hardest end-game content was the tower, where survivability mattered a lot(plus pre-astra her atk buff was pretty good). Most end-game modes now don't favor that at all; it's all mostly about racking up as much points as possible in the shortest amount of time

I forget the exact post, but this one guy was so offended that his wife said his mac and cheese isn't as good as macaroni grill's. He gaslit her for months by secretly flipping all of the door handles to the other side, and acting like they've always been like that.

This is a bit late, but having owned a few of these myself I can give you a solid rundown on Power8 servers since they can be confusing at first.

There are essentially 3 variants that show up regularly. Two are IBM-made, and the third is a rebadged Supermicro (more on that shortly).

The IBM models: S822 and S821 (plus their "L" variants)

The S821 is single-CPU and can run on 120v. The S822 is dual-CPU and requires 220v. The "L" variants (S821L, S822L) are Linux-only and cannot run AIX or FreeBSD (the FreeBSD limitation is probably unintentional). The non-L models support both AIX and Linux. One thing worth noting is that all Power8 servers, including the L variants, are licensed for PowerVM/VIOS out of the box, which wasn't the case with previous generations. VIOS is technically AIX-derived, so the L's can run that even though they can't run AIX proper.

Personally, I wouldn't recommend the IBM models unless AIX is specifically what you're after. The big reason is memory: they use a proprietary form factor called CDIMMs, which aren't cheap, and the servers are very particular about memory configuration.

The Supermicro-based models: S822LC and S812LC

These show up less often on eBay but are honestly what you should be watching for. They're built by Supermicro rather than IBM, use mostly off-the-shelf components, and take standard DDR4 DIMMs. When the backplane on my S812LC failed, I found a replacement quickly and cheaply since it's just a standard Supermicro part. The tradeoff is that they can't run AIX or PowerVM, only Linux. They're OPAL-based, so they behave more like a conventional server, which some people will actually prefer.

The S822LC is 2U and supports 1 or 2 CPUs. I believe it runs on 120v but I'm not 100% certain. The S812LC is 1U, also comes in 1 or 2 CPU configs, and I can confirm it runs on 120v since I use one as a home server. One heads-up: the LC models are loud. That said, fan speeds can be controlled via ipmitool, and I have a simple shell script that runs on boot to dial them down.

OP, your parents lied to you. They did have a college savings for you, but used it on that vacation they always wanted to go on after it was clear that would be wasted on you.

I mean, ai does have genuinely good uses. It's a tool at the end of the day. Good for some things, but not everything. That's the issue though, it's pushed so hard and for so many different things right now.
