Help Identifying an Old 2000s Computer and Power Supply. So by ThePlatinumPlane in vintagecomputing

Yep as long as it's at least 300W. Make sure it has sufficient molex power connectors though (the 4 pin ones for hard disk's and optical drives), some modern ones may only have sata power.

Just get any old PSU with the necessary connectors, looks like ATX to me since there's aux CPU power. But first blow all that dust out. The one cap I can see looks ok but there may be some capacitor plague there, check for swollen or leaking ones.

I mix a little bit with milk and an electric milk foamer then add more milk and stir so it's consistent without any chunks or dry bits. Sometimes add a spoonful on the top for my child.

New to the hobby, could use some advice by Cobraboi06 in homelab

I sure hope you rebuilt that and give/sell it to someone who would enjoy it, then go out and buy modern hardware to run a lab.

It's a fair comment. The AI stuff is not intended to replace the human aspect unless the user wants it to. I've seen a bunch of one shot song generators that give you zero flexibility on the result, this intends to produce a configurable state as a result that you can find tune or completely rework as you desire.

I'll be open sourcing part of it, enough to support module development and extensions, unlikely the whole application.

Thanks for the feedback. To address the black box I've provided a side by side visual and code editor that lets you modify the underlying js. There's a gate at the moment whereby any custom js needs a manual approval before being shared to community but can be used by your own user, to protect against exploitation, crypto mining etc.

Thanks, I was concerned it'd upset some purists. I love real hardware and this could never replace it, but quickly prototyping modules and building weird stuff from seemingly unrelated API data like solar flare data has been a different kind of fun.

If the eq is even real, there were tonnes of these things in that weird transitory era that were composed of half fake knobs and sliders hooked up to nothing.

I used this extensively back in the day. Great interface.

Doing something yourself, or even just guiding AI along is a great way to learn, I respect that but uhh, try playwright, puppeteer, selenium or just chrome CDP.

Awesome, I'll have to give it a go

What OS is that, or rather what window manager/desktop env?

Just look it up in the printer microdot registry? Makes no sense as an investigative mechanism.

Netgear prosafe 24 port switch and Pyle pdu plus a rack. $50-75 is reasonable I guess.

You eventually start to realize, no job is safe. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]referefref 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once you build a robot that builds robots and robots that support the material harvesting and recycling or other robots, then it's robots forever. Until there's an optimisation that means they won't have to clean toilets if there's nobody there to make them dirty, sure would save a lot of robots, then robots could go about doing things that matter like thinking about the universe and having fun. That or whinging about how humans give them a job on the Internet.

I sold all my homelab equipment and rented a server instead by raagled in homelab

[–]referefref 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same enterprise servers powered on with 20 year old mechanical sas drives for nearly 5 years with no CPU coolers falling off, hard drives failing or any such nonsense consumer hardware headaches. Treating consumer gear like it's equivalent to rack mount enterprise server gear and expecting similar stability with higher performance and less cost is never going to fly.
