There is a logic to it, but it's based on the fact that woman instincts are all built around mate selection and mothering.

Essentially, they're playing "hard to get". Protection from white men is free, therefore worthless.

If white men would simply declare that they will not be protectors in a system that places them at the bottom of the social hierarchy - 19A, no fault divorce, and child support would be gone within a decade.

The system is what it is because white American men are simps.

That's fair. But if they fight for their people I can actually respect that. Everyone fights for themselves except white men, who fight for everyone except themselves.

This has got to be trolling. They're just trying to make people mad.

The elite communicates through symbolism, they have already told us the EU will fall.

Yeah, also I don't colo anything. The big machine is at home and the small high availability stuff is OVH rentals.

iDRAC did absolutely nothing for me when I had it on the dells. My machines tend to run for years without problems (knock on wood) so for me it was a solution in search of a problem...

Speaking of ASRock, the fact that they did an EPYC in ITX form factor is the goofiest thing ever, and I kind of want one.

Yeah, and I had that on the dell and it did nothing for me.

But I don't just mean that, I mean Dell power supply, Dell SAS backplane, Dell weirdo PCIe port that only can fit Dell ethernet card...

I buy a motherboard from China I get 4 PCIe 16x which will fit anything, 10 SATA ports, any PSU I want, and the whole thing costs 150€...

Ok, I thought you meant disk. So I spent about 400 on the same thing (minus SSDs and disks), but my setup has no proprietary interfaces at all. The only downside is that I had to build it.

How much ram? Because ram really kind of decides how many VMs you can comfortable run...

But the question is what are you putting in the rack?

I've had 1Us, they're a pain in the butt. Everything is proprietary dell crap, there's only one PCIe port, you can't just grab a random ATX PSU off aliexpress.

Even if I had a rack, I'd just do the same build as a 4U and put that in the rack, and then for my needs 36 cores, 256G of ram, 6T of SSD and 6x 12T of rust is everything I need. So what? A rack for 1 server?

In my networking cabinet, everything is a different size, so there's just no rack that really makes sense here.

The stuff on the left is a 12v power supply with relays so I can programmatically power cycle embedded devices (modems) that are under test.

A tower and a 4U are the same thing, so if you have a rack then just put it sideways. But I don't have enough compute horsepower to require a rack at home...

Yes, it's excellent. Plenty of interchangeable parts, no stupid vendor lockin crap.

I wish someone would build a chassis with flex-hose that can go from a 120mm bracket out the back, and also flex hose between two 120mm brackets (for dual socket). Also a GPU shroud would be nice because almost everybody makes GPUs that just dump heat everywhere.

Also I wish someone would make a chassis with a HEPA air filter integrated in the front panel so it doesn't get dusty and it cleans the room.

My home server is a dual socket Xeon machine and I have no problem whatsoever with cooling, for the simple reason that all air which passes over a CPU cooler immediately exits out the back.

This is an old picture, now there is ductwork connecting between the two CPU coolers and the back of the case, so air goes through CPU2 then CPU1, then out the back.

I like it just for the fact that it doesn't dump heat inside your chassis.
