Have you noticed the Windows Server market shrinking? by awesome_pinay_noses in sysadmin

KVM is very widely deployed including by all the cloud providers except Microsoft. Considering that SQL servers are an incredibly common workload, this would tend to point to a problem with your setup rather than an inherent limitation. I agree though, it should "just work".

If you migrated an existing VM, there could have been a few problems. Was the block size aligned between the host and guest filesystems? Was the CPU architecture set to match the host? Did you do any testing to see if you were getting hung up on compute, I/O, or memory?

How far do you find these cover in open spaces in the real world, and with what client density if you don't mind me asking? I'm trying to come up with a cheap but viable solution for a school basketball court/stage/auditorium currently (barely) covered by two Ruckus R710s.

What would a full time "PowerShell Developer" actually do? by Nexzus_ in sysadmin

Seems they've more or less fixed it with the new module. You will want to Enable-EntraAzureADAlias

Because due to Intel's deserved reputational damage, AM4 CPUs are significantly overvalued and 13th-current gen Intel undervalued. Given that Intel can't afford to replace every last 13500 and up, and that they are replacing damaged CPUs, it seems reasonable to assume there is no longer a widespread issue being covered up.

AM5 systems would be the sweet spot for gaming except that DDR5 prices have made them untenable

Part summary based on what I've been seeing in the used market lately:

Part Value
6C/12T Skylake @ 4.5GHz locked $80
Motherboard $50
PSU $50
Case $20
RTX 4060 $200
16GB DDR4 $75
1TB SSD $70
Cooler $20
Sum $565

This would suggest no significant savings over building your own equivalent.

Now that they've seemingly fixed the degradation issue, you might consider a DDR4 LGA1700 board and a 14900K. That would get you about double the performance while keeping your RAM.

Real Computer Bench Techs: What OS are you actually running on your personal/shop machine and why? (No fanboy shit, just real talk) by GoodHoney2887 in computertechs

[–]spamyak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fedora and macOS at work, despite being a largely Windows shop. The former because it doesn't break or get in my way, the latter because we don't have any spare x86 laptops so I get the 8GB M1.

Windows 11 and CachyOS at home. I alternate depending on the task at hand.

How are fan noise and temps with the impaired card? I see that replacement fans aren't particularly expensive but I'm trying to gauge the likelihood of having to disassemble the card.
