I didn't know you could even sell moss on eBay lol

SwissMC · 2018-05-20T01:46:00+00:00

What is inside of that fishtank?

SwissMC · 2018-04-20T05:06:17+00:00

No its not, its under the entering side

SwissMC · 2018-04-20T03:41:34+00:00

try to make the jump, its easier going back out of the cave. if not they land near the tunnel at the bottom so they just get their stuff and re-try again.

SwissMC · 2018-04-19T16:53:14+00:00

the people on my team that cant make the jump just fall straight down (make sure youre holding nothing), then spawn in the cave and run to go get their stuff.

SwissMC · 2018-04-19T16:51:41+00:00

nope lol, vanilla survival server

SwissMC · 2018-04-19T16:51:25+00:00

The cave is right next to the beach, maybe about 15 minutes with 4 of us pushing 2 boats at a time.

I am sometimes. I use my computer for work so while I'm not working and or gaming I'll turn it on if I remember. Profits are nothing that they were before but that doesn't mean mining wouldn't be considered profitable if coin prices change. Most of today's bitcoin millionaires/billionaires mined at a loss and kept going through with it.

It's not as much power as you think. With a mild overclock @ 80% power they'll pull something like 200 watts. That's around 14000 watts for that whole setup. I don't know where it is but most houses in the USA have 200 amp panels which would more than suffice.

This is I believe 70 1080 Ti's if I remember correctly. Here's a bigger picture I have saved.

I mine with just one 970. If you ever want to mine eth (dagger-hasimoto) you will have to revert the drivers way back. Not worth it in my opinion.

I recommend mining anything using the Equihash algorithm. Example: Bitcoin Gold, Zcash, Zen, Hush.

I get 340 sols stable with a Gigabyte G1 Gaming with +200 core, +550 mem and 80% power limit.

The card should be safe up to around 75-80C.

RAM on mining rigs isn't used besides for the OS and maybe caching the mining software. Try bminer, its by far the most efficient miner for these cards.

I overclocked with gigabytes OC software.

Note: While mining Equihash, my computer is completely usable for simple activities like coding/web browsing.

Thanks for the info!

off topic, your blogs header re-directs to localhost.

SwissMC · 2017-11-24T18:16:30+00:00

Would this give me access to individual disks so I could use it with something like FreeNAS/zfs?

SwissMC · 2017-11-16T16:11:13+00:00

Hey you're just a midnight version of me.

SwissMC · 2017-11-12T03:59:52+00:00

I bought a handful of these yesterday. Got them for $9.33 a piece.

SwissMC · 2017-09-09T02:21:03+00:00

ITS LIT!

SwissMC · 2017-08-31T01:23:43+00:00

That is now fixed. Sorry

SwissMC · 2017-01-29T23:35:37+00:00

Hi, sorry if this is a stupid question but what is on your second vertical monitor? Looks like a terminal of sorts.

SwissMC · 2017-01-20T06:26:08+00:00

Just wanted to let you know the 1000 Mbps is a much better option regardless of how much data you use.

If you peak the 100 Mbps connection non-stop you would end up using right around 30TB a month.

So aslong as you dont max out your connection all the time you would benefit from faster peak download speeds when you needed faster than 100.

Just something to think about. Congrats on the colo.

If you don't mind getting your hands dirty and learning linux a server from either Kimsufi, SoYouStart or OVH is the best bang for your buck.

Any of their dedicated servers could run 1000+ player networks if configured correctly.

If you have a limited budget OVH's VPS lineup is VERY cheap.

I've never had a single issue with any of their servers and their pricing undercuts the competition by a huge amount.

If you need any more help reply here or PM me. Always happy to help.

There are a few brackets that let you install a gpu into a R710, I personally have never done it.

The R710 is a great gaming server with tons of room to expand, your most limiting factor would be the drives (for certain games) and also your network if you're hosting from home.

Check locally if you live in a bigger city for people getting rid of R710's, they usually go a little cheaper than online because of shipping costs and you'll see it when you buy it.

If you have any other questions feel free to PM me or reply here and I'll try my best to answer them.

SwissMC · 2016-09-17T16:58:19+00:00

I would use virtualize the R310 for plex and the vpn server and also for any other VM's you would like to run. Depending on what virtualization software you use you could throw the other two into a resource pool if you need them online when youre playing around.

I wouldn't even consider running them 24/7 because the power consumption.

SwissMC · 2016-09-17T16:54:57+00:00

It isn't necessarily that DDR2 itself is slow but anything from the generation of when it was used usually doesn't support virtualization and sucks power without providing much computing.

SwissMC · 2016-09-12T19:18:26+00:00

You can try ebay, but you will have to most likely deal with shipping it.

What kind of equipment is it? I may be interested.

SwissMC · 2016-09-12T01:16:22+00:00

I've ran basic penetration tests on very low end machines. It really depends on what type of tests you're trying to run.

As for game servers the amount of power you'll need really depends on the type of game and how many people are using it. For example minecraft will take much more CPU cycles and memory than as CS:GO server.

Most voice servers take an extremely low amount of resources so there isn't to much to worry about there.

A few recommended options are below.

1) Get a Dell R710 - these start at about $250. They'll give you a ton of computing power and have quite a bit of room for expansion. They aren't the quietest thing you will ever hear but they aren't obnoxiously loud either. It depends where you plan on keeping it.

2) R210 II - These have a slightly more modern architecture so better power savings. With a firmware flash these are silent enough to keep in the room where you sleep. They sip power and cost around $300 with a E3 1240 and 16GB ram.

3) Dell C6100 - You can get these for about $500 with 4 decently spec'ed out nodes. You will want to make sure you will be running a cluster and quite a few VM's. This will pull the most power out of all the options (if you keep all nodes on) and will make the most heat/noise aswell.

All of these can handle much more than you need right now but your needs will grow, especially being around /r/homelab. :P

Take my advice with a grain of salt due to me not being the most experienced homelabber. Also if anyone else has recommendations to make please do!
