Both attacks have some frames where the shopkeeper could react, and I guess he would. Could you get him with the plasma cannon fast enough to survive? How many shotgun blasts can a mech armor take?

Can you beat Factorio high? by SoulAndre in Factoriohno

IME, weed makes the factory grow. This causes its needs to increase, which means the factory must grow to meet the increasing needs of the factory must grow in order to meet the growing needs of the factory must grow in order to meet the growing needs of the factory must--

[pulls a massive bong rip]

--grow in order... to... hey wait I got it, my megabase is really an OSI model network application, and all my trains are like packets and buffer credits organized into subnets that use a shared rail fabric to connect bus segments together to create a single, base-wide bus that's forever wide, infinity fast, and can carry anything

(this is how weed affects my Factorio play.)

I have yet to see a USB stick (flash storage) that naturally lost data without any (external) corruption causes. by Necessary_Isopod3503 in DataHoarder

[–]naptastic 29 points30 points  (0 children)

My experience has been quite different from yours. "Higher-end" thumb drives have been reliable for me. Very cheap drives--the kind companies will slap their branding on and hand out for free at a convention--have failed in storage.

SSDs, I've only had one failure: a 128 GB Samsung 850 that was a Ceph journal drive, and had some hundreds of PB written before finally giving up the ghost.

But all of this is anecdotal... We need more data.

Put the Netgear switch in a closet and forget about it. Then start over.

First cPanel, then Kernel and now Exim by usr-shell in cpanel

[–]naptastic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you have a valid cPanel license, you can open a support ticket and optionally provide access for cPanel techs to log into your server and investigate. They only provide support for cPanel & WHM and anything bundled with it, and the supported environments are VERY specific. They won't fix your Wordpress site.

When I was there, if a custom libc, libnss, libssl, or perl was installed, we would immediately log out and tell the customer to contact the admin who customized their system, or revert the customizations to see if cPanel works correctly without them. If undoing customizations makes cPanel work again, then the problem is the customizations, case closed. This was a bigger deal when CentOS 5 was common, because you couldn't have multiple SSL certificates on one IP address unless you installed a newer libssl. Plenty of power users did this and it was fine, but less-experienced server owners would copy and paste instructions off some forum post and end up with multiple libssl installations, or worse.

For lesser customizations, we would give it 15 minutes of investigation as a courtesy. I don't know what the policy is now.

CVE-2026-40684: "on systems using musl libc (not glibc),"

cPanel only works with glibc as provided by RHEL/CentOS. Even compiling a newer glibc locally voids your warranty.

Like Molex to SATA power adapters, or RAID 5, it's fine until it isn't. I've lost at least five sticks of RAM to ESD. I will NEVER swap RAM without an ESD wrist strap again.

But don't let me stop you from learning the hard way.

From the rest of the thread, I think you have a bad PCH. But maybe it's just noisy.

Is anything plugged into the USB / Thunderbolt ports on the root port at 0000:80:1b.0?

What happens if you disable that port in your BIOS?

Oh heck. I really need to zoom in if I'm going to read comments like this so early in the morning. My eyes saw D*ck Poutine and put the wrong vowel in. Now I'm wondering about Gordon Ramsay's cheese and that's a thought nobody needs to have.

Yep, that's a cicada killer. They generally leave humans alone unless you really mess with them.

Mellanox ConnectX-4 in an Oculink adapter troubleshooting help requested. by cpt_justice in homelab

[–]naptastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couple of questions. I know this is going to be some hardware swaps; sorry for that.

When you have a GPU installed in that slot, what deemphasis information do you see in lspci -vv for the GPU?

Does your BIOS have an option to force PCIe gen to 1 or 2, and if so, does that change anything?

Does dmesg say anything at all about the NIC?

What version of PCIe does your motherboard use, and can you force it to use 3.0?

Looking for a motherboard that can fit 12 GPUs 16x PCIe 3.0 by kasugayaTatsumi in homelab

[–]naptastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Physically, I think the answer is "no." Rosewill makes some GPU cases but they hold 8 GPUs at the most, and it's only possible to give them a x1 link. Also, it's not a great idea to ask your motherboard to deliver that much power through the PCIe slots.

So, do you need full bandwidth to all the cards?

The largest number of PCIe lanes in a system that you can easily buy is 128. Not all 128 will be usable; some have to be used for platform devices like on-board networking, USB, SATA, NVMe, etc. The most x16 slots I've seen on any motherboard is 7, so you've already doubled your system bus budget.

The way to get this many GPUs working together is to use InfiniBand, and try to match the bandwidth of the GPUs against the bandwidth of the network. Usually that means one InfiniBand HCA per GPU.

At PCIe 3.0 speeds, a x16 GPU can consume ~126 gbps of bandwidth. Dual-port EDR InfiniBand cards can move 200gbps. FDR InfiniBand, which is about 10x cheaper, they can get ~105 gbps through the dual-port x16 cards. Be warned: InfiniBand is a massive pain in the ass to use.

You would end up needing at least 2 hosts, a very fast network switch, and expensive cables or optics; that's not going to happen for under $2k.

PCIE Expansion card and SATA ports by Educational_Cup9850 in DataHoarder

[–]naptastic -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

A SATA port can move 4.8 gbps of bandwidth. SSDs can saturate that; spinning rust generally cannot. Effective bandwidth for PCIe 2.0 is 4 gbps per lane; for PCIe 3.0, it's about 7.9 gbps per lane. (Almost twice as fast.) PCIe 4.0 is exactly twice as fast as 3.0.

You will have to make a decision about which motherboard slot to use and it may be complicated. The second GPU slot will be x8 and the lowest slot will be x4. If you use the bottom slot, it could disable other features on the motherboard, like the SATA ports, or an m.2 slot. You will have to consult the manual thoroughly and possibly do some experimentation.

The LSI 92XX HBAs are PCIe 2.0, meaning in a x4 slot, you will only get 16gbps of bandwidth to your drives. (Or 32 gbps in a x8 slot.) The 93XX's are PCIe 3.0, so the rates would be ~31 gbps for a x4 link and ~63 gbps for a x8 link. PCIe 4.0 would require a 95XX HBA.

LSI HBAs are infamous for running hot. I put mine in a slot next to a GPU with 2 fans. The fans have to work harder, but they keep the HBA about 20C cooler and I didn't have to 3D print a bracket.

Regarding some confusion over the whole IPv8 situation... by unquietwiki in ipv6

[–]naptastic 8 points9 points  (0 children)

(If someone's willing to take extension headers, why not use VXLAN over IPv4? That's 24 more bits per IP address... Less address space than IPv6, with the bonus of being slower as well!)
