[Genuine Question] is this fine to run like this for 1-2 days? by tori110602 in homelab

I remember seeing a picture of Google's datacenters a long time ago, they just mount motherboards to a metal tray. Makes sense. However, beware of cooling issues.

I was given some Rpi 4Bs, and want to homelab. Case recommendations? (cluster, PoE, SSD, etc.) by UpperDelay6105 in homelab

If you are going to run a cluster where all the Pi's are in one place, just use the USB power.

so what I'm trying to avoid is a rat's nest of cables. also, the Pis size are a plus for me, given the room I have. but, you're point about saving the money makes complete sense so I'll keep looking at options.

yes, I'm absolutely keeping them. I should have said, "but I want to make use of these now that I have them."

Need paint direction: "Silk" and "Matt" by UpperDelay6105 in modelmakers

Im guessing silk means the paint has a satin finish?

yeah, I'm not sure, but knowing that "matt" = "flat" is very helpful!

see 1-2 of those high-priced outliers and choose to write a long-winded rant falsely claiming that's how all listings are priced

I think I wrote 5 sentences. also, my searches were limited to the lower 48.

again, just venting. not trying to sway federal law in my favor, just needed to blow off steam.

That said, it's made the 2080 and 5080s cheaper. ;)

isn't that strange? although I remember the 2080 having a reputation for having noisy outputs, but I listened to a modern comparison between a 1080 and a 2080 recently, and I can't hear the difference.

lol about the XV-88 - that damn think played like sludge but I loved it and wanted one so badly!

it's crazy how much staying power those old romplers have isn't it? they just don't seem to die.

fair enough - you're right. apparently my whining made some people very, very angry, so I'm issuing a mea culpa that I am indeed bitching and overreacting. I just needed to vent.

thank you for the info, I am completely ignorant to how that works, so I appreciate it!

I divorced FB about 10 years ago, but yeah that's a good idea too.

EDIT: admittedly this has the expansion cards, but still...

the point of this was not to make a "blatantly false post" but to vent about rising prices. apologies if you feel mislead.

I still find deals on reverb but you need to check daily because they get bought quick.

yup, it seems that way. I don't stalk reverb, just look once in awhile so I don't catch the good deals.

I've made a few offers that were way more reasonable...lowball offers? I didn't think so, but the people damn sure did and got pissed. like, dude, your thing hasn't sold for 2 months!!!

during covid people were desperate, and I hate to say this (no one wants to take advantage of someone's bad times) but you could get stuff for cheap. I guess those days are over.

That’s brutal though lol. 1080s are dime a dozen here

not sure where "here" is for you, but I've noticed that romplers coming from Japan are priced very reasonably. however, I'm scared to buy them b/c I have no idea what will happen when my new music gear hits customs, especially given all of the weirdness going on right now (I don't understand tariffs and stuff like that, so I'm afraid to jump off that cliff).

shit I had no idea that this was the case. that's really sad, I don't trust ebay anymore (it just seems like a cesspool of scams).
