This might have something to do with it. Jebus…it’s a wonder anything connects sometimes.

Seems to be fine from here:

I usually try to stay within the upper ranks of DDR3 equipment. DDR4, while a better option, is far more pricey than DDR3.

I was thinking about waaaay back in the day, before the popularity of Synology, but you are correct. I think this is the year I will finally rid myself of these boat anchors.

Most of the time it’s just in with the trash. While that may seem unsanitary, after being a farmer for so long now, that kind of stuff doesn’t bother me. If you’ve ever slopped around in a pigsty trying to catch and castrate pigs, there’s probably nothing more ‘icky’ and you’re going to get dirty. LOL

Huh…you’re right it is a redirect. It was up earlier. Maybe he’s feeling the hug of death.

Hey, thanks for sharing bro.

Didn’t downvote. I use AI, and not ashamed of it. I don’t write huge programs and I damn sure don’t release anything to the public mainly because, in the back of my mind, I can just see some poor chap using my code and now smoke is coming out of his server. It works for me. Usually it’s ‘write a script that does _________’ or Docker compose files. It seems pretty accurate for those uses and if I need a bash command sequence explained, it’s good for that too.

I also use AI when I master my audio tracks before I upload them. I am clinically deaf and there are some frequencies that I just can’t hear well enough to make a judgement call. It’s pretty good at that too.

Good resource. Bookmarked. Thanks for sharing.

Sweet. What kind of throughput do you get with the USB to RJ45?

Well shit, you’re set!

We have two very prominent universities in the area. Around graduation I discreetly dumpster dive their trash bins. You’d be surprised what I’ve found. Laptops, desktops usually small form factor, monitors, you name it.

Very good resource. Bookmarked.

Two 3060’s and two 3070’s. With the 6 core chips.

Nice! I generally stay at the upper end of the models which use DDR3. Yes, it’s not as snappy as DDR4, but the prices are much better.

Yet another good option. Just looked them up on Amazon. Going for around $130 USD.

I have actually been rather pleasantly surprised with the 7020 SFF. Going in, I was like 'OK it’s a $117 USD. Not going to break the bank to test it out. So I now have 40+ containers running on the 720 and my load averages look like it’s not even turned on. LOL

I’m looking for a couple more Optiplex 7020 SFF or similar and just get rid of all the heavy equipment.

Now, I still got the rack because I think they look cool

I recently decommissioned one of my Dell T320s, and replaced it with the Dell Optiplex 7020 SFF with the i7-4790 and maxed out to 32 gb RAM. I paid $117 USD for the Optiplex 7020 SFF which came with 8GB RAM, and I maxed it out with three more 8 GB RAM sticks for about $75 USD.

The Dell T320 costs ~$40/month in electrical costs in my locale to run. The Dell Optiplex 7020 SFF costs $5-8/month to run. So, less than the duration of this year, I will have recouped my initial $200 investment in the Optiplex 7020 SFF just in power consumption alone, and I’ll have ‘left over’ money if I wanted to get yet another Optiplex 7020 SFF. I have 40+ containers running on the Optiplex 7020 SFF, and it hasn’t broke a sweat yet. Far more quieter than the Dell T320 and less heat funneling into the server room.

I’m going to sell the T320 which is also maxed out at 32 GB RAM, so I’ll have more $$ to replace the other T320. Winner winner chicken dinner.

I used to be of the erroneous mind set that a server had to be some big honkin’, dim the lights, piece of equipment, but that’s not necessarily true now days with modern architecture. Doesn’t take a lot to get a lot back.
