Combat Pretzel posted:All this hard drive crap is pissing me off. I went with the 10TB ones, because that's when they switch to helium currently. I was hoping that this is just a relabelled enterprise drive of theirs, just with less warranty. Their real datacenter kit have distinctive internal mechanics and logic boards, there is minimal correlation with their consumer kit beside packaging and basic techs. The only brand that made consumer products at datacenter standards was hgst(formerly ibm) and they stopped doing so when the Chinese regulators walking orders(stay independent until 2016) for letting the purchase from wd proceed were done.

Ive worked on a few projects over the years that use consumer level drives in inexpensive servers and unless its like archive level storage with very little traffic. it will 100% end in tears. I avoid jobs like that cause there is no way its going to go well and i can do without the stress and the black mark on the resume. it wont stop people from trying. “these drives are so much cheaper than the enterprise equivalent and look! i get the same number of TB’s”

For actually watching the video and having fun instead of jumping to conclusions based on the title? Yeah I guess! (Hint: they say just to buy more RAM or use traditional local swap space if needed, something like that, I just had it on in the background.)

free techtuber gimmick content piece idea: build a computer as a Corsi-Rosenthal Cube https://twitter.com/LazarusLong13/status/1488273163314085889 first approach: you have the Cube, and you build the components inside of it the tricky part here would be mounting the motherboard to something, routing all of the I/O, and whether the single fan at the top would generate enough airflow for cooling. I think what you could do is to keep the bottom panel of the cube as a sealed panel - wood, metal, whatever, and use that as a mounting base. second approach: take a regular computer case, but install MERV-11 / MERV-13 filters on all the intakes the tricky part here would be whether you can actually cut filters to fit, and more importantly generating enough pressure on exhausting fans to be able to pull air through the filters

Meh, to me it's a far reach to generate (stupid) filler. FUSE exists for nearly ten years. --edit: Actually for longer. Googling "swap on fuse" reveals discussions about it deadlocking from around 2006.gradenko_2000 posted:and more importantly generating enough pressure on exhausting fans to be able to pull air through the filters --edit: nevermind, "Corsi-Rosenthal" is the fancy name for this purifier.

Even if they dress up like mad scientists, I can absolutely see how someone, who doesn't understand the catch-22 of swap (ie. the act of paging something to swap, on a filesystem or anything else that isn't a disk/partition, requires allocating more memory which in turn requires paging more to swap), might well think that that's actually a good idea. This is further complicated by their genuine incompetence when it comes to anything more serious than using a screwdriver - like their business storage solutions always breaking, their attempts to do multi-tenancy virtualization solutions, and so on and so forth.

GamerNexus will do funny skits as opening to their factual content videos so looking like idiots isn't exclusive to tech comedy. If they put all their "we are idiots doing fun stuff" in a dedicated channel i would accept your point but last time i checked they put both reviews and idiocy in the same main LTT channel.

Rudager posted:They've got their goofy fun shenanigans channel, why not mix it in there with all the other goofy over the top dumb poo poo so it's clear it's goofy dumb poo poo? Because it's more of an infotainment piece than a "goofy shenanigans" piece, and there's no ambiguity in the video to clear up anyway. The only people who are confused about this are the ones who are jumping to conclusions without actually watching the video. I mean, I get why you wouldn't want to since LTT is pretty laughable a lot of the time. So, as someone who actually did watch the video, I can promise you that they made it abundantly clear that it was a bad idea to do, and they just wanted to use that concept as an excuse to explain how the technology works. That's all.

It's a dumb little nod to all the silly / scammy download more RAM poo poo from the 90s and is not in any way worth getting up in arms about. I very much doubt any of their viewers attempted to replicate their multiuser single PC virtualized gaming setups, either. I think you're vastly overstating the amount of harm silly tech videos can do.

Combat Pretzel posted:You'd be wrong about this. I've seen a bunch of talk in the past about replicating this in r/vfio and on the L1T forums. (Not the whole 7 user shebang, but 2-4.) L1T has been deeply involved in advancing GPU passthrough for a number of reasons including getting near native windows gaming performance on bare metal Linux. I would say if you're posting in communities that are dedicated to or have devoted substantial time to gpu passthrough you probably have an interest in the subject that goes beyond being influenced by a silly LTT video where it's generally portrayed accurately as a pain in the rear end undertaking with little payoff. At the end of the day if you're doing it because you really like tinkering and you think it's cool, it's not really a problem. 🤷

Linus talks a lot about how much QA/due diligence he does when ordering new merch on The WAN Show, so it probably shouldn't be a surprise it's decent quality for what it is.

Trash shirts that you would wear when you were painting or changing your oil. A few companies used American Apparel. I cherished those shirts. LTT uses American Apparel so that's good enough for me.
