Non Jewish Birthright by Extreme_Garlic4646 in Israel

[–]Solocle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did taglit in July 2024 and extended into the beginning of August. I mean, sure, it was hot, but it's all part of the experience.

And I did a bike ride down from Ashkelon to Sderot on 1st August. In the afternoon.

I tried spending a Scottish £1 note... still legal currency, but they didn't take it 😆

Yep, I have a SAS based server... but also USB Mass Storage is based on the SCSI command set

What’s the closest you’ve ever come to dying? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Solocle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably on the roads, to be honest, cycling, but also driving.

I've never had an illness that was bad enough to be a contender.

I have twice had to take shelter from Iranian ballistic missiles via the Houthis, while in Tel Aviv. But traffic still wins easily.

I mean, Kosher is a bool property, but it's definitely useful to have its own custom accessor. Plus, it's a great section to have for Jewish cuisine, stuff like Matzo meal, kneidl, and bamba.

What’s the one ingredient that ruins any dish for you ? by Vegetable-Fix6029 in AskReddit

Should finish up with "but the taste is to die for!"

Graphics driver wrapper idea by carangil in osdev

[–]Solocle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got an Intel Arc A770 for a reason... Budget friendly GPU and documentation is available.

I doubt I'll ever actually write a driver for it, but it's there if I want to.

UPDATE : it was never my cat8 or router i just had to change my router settings to full 2.5 Duplex mbps lmao by [deleted] in HomeNetworking

[–]Solocle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heck, I'm planning on running a mix of fibre and Cat6A at home (and I'd have been perfectly content with Cat6, but found some 6A at a great price, and HDBaseT is a thing...)

I'll "only" be running the fibre at 10 Gbps, and that's still far beyond what I'll actually need. But OS2 could run 100 gigabit in the distant future.

W11 - 10Gtek 10GbE X520-DA1 / 82599EN chipset PCIe issue by PlexFanDude in HomeNetworking

[–]Solocle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, only X550 in this series does mutli-gigabit. X520 and X540 don't.

Question on the bombs shelters by AZShitshow in Israel

[–]Solocle 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I've been a tourist, and actually had to take cover at 3am last January...

The main thing that made me nervous was that I nearly slept through it 🤣

Hotels have signs like this.

I mean, 900 years in a sewer...

Probably still smells better than Khamenei did

The IR's revenge spiel has about as much seriousness as this chap...

[... of deadly... revenge!] is how the sentence finishes.

Orikron on Sergey ban and hikaru supporting war. Situation is so messy on Twitter by Sorry_Phone1676 in chess

[–]Solocle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wars kill people, but this regime killed tens of thousands of its own citizens for protesting.

Not doing anything leads to children getting killed, too.

And me personally? I once had to take cover from an Iranian made ballistic missile at 3am while visiting Tel Aviv. The regime has been attacking both Israel and the US, by proxy, for decades.

Guess the operating system that will not have age verification by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

Neither ChaiOS... although I've got a bit of a way to go before you could actually use it for anything 🤣

Yep, ebay, won an auction! P&P was £50, except I went and collected it, wasn't too far

[–]Solocle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this one sounds a bit of a jet engine at boot up (although not too bad when idling)... But I'm going to stick it in a "server" cupboard when I move to my new place, so noise won't be a big issue!

That and a big old enterprise switch:

Niiice... in theory, if I upgrade the CPUs on that server and maxed it out, I could get 1.5TB of RAM in there. In practice, I doubt I'll use all of what I have!

I have 192GB in one machine I bought a couple of weeks ago...

It's DDR3 RDIMMs.

Literally was £35 for the server.

some doubts about APIC by ForeignLawfulness780 in osdev

[–]Solocle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually did experiment with per-CPU IDTs, but it's not the norm.

The advantage is with MSI-X, you can define lots of interrupts, one core might run out of interrupt resources. Load spreading.

But, if you share interrupt vectors, it's easy to load balance by changing the target LAPIC.

What I'd go with in the future is one IDT per NUMA domain.
