Fireduck

Ha

Fireduck
2018-07-22 21:12:29
Things change too much

Fireduck
2018-07-22 21:13:12
the disks? get a hot swap bay

Rotonen
2018-07-22 21:14:07
but yeah, cable salad is hard, m.2 for the win on that as well

Rotonen
2018-07-22 21:17:39
Yeah, I love m.2

Fireduck
2018-07-22 21:18:25
the sata vs. pci-e vs. different kinds of pci-e vs. different widths of pci-e vs. what the pci-e is backed by is a bit icky to navigate, but cannot have it all

Rotonen
2018-07-22 21:18:35
u.2 brings certainty and a price tag to match

@Rotonen commented on @Fireduck’s file https://snowblossom.slack.com/files/UARSV6KEF/FBUAQ9BJ5/img_20180722_141038.jpg: powered by imptel?

Rotonen

Problem found. Bad cable.

Fireduck

imptel?

Fireduck
2018-07-22 21:31:41
men mode -> operated by small men -> intel ~> imptel

Rotonen
2018-07-22 21:31:55
took your mem node typo and ran with it

Rotonen
2018-07-22 21:32:10
hah

Fireduck
2018-07-22 21:32:18
it looks like an imp cage anyway

Rotonen
2018-07-22 21:32:20
I like the way you think

Fireduck
2018-07-22 21:32:47
yeah, it howls so I keep it in the storage room to not bother anyone with its unanswered screams

Fireduck
2018-07-22 21:33:22
you got all the drive cages for that unit?

Rotonen
2018-07-22 21:33:27
no

Fireduck
2018-07-22 21:33:50
I figure when it got decommissioned whoever tossed the drives into the shreader in the sleds

Fireduck
2018-07-22 21:33:50
do make a humorous cup holder for the naked rails, then

Rotonen
2018-07-22 21:34:00
because it is work to remove drives

Fireduck
2018-07-22 21:34:43
yeah, industrial shredders are both fun and unambiguous as to what you feed them

Rotonen
2018-07-22 21:35:41
yep

Fireduck
2018-07-22 21:35:45
and can't let that data out

Fireduck
2018-07-22 21:35:55
but the server itself can go to whoever handles those

Fireduck
2018-07-22 21:35:59
and then I buy it from new egg

Fireduck
2018-07-22 21:36:05
but those sleds are hard to get

Fireduck
2018-07-22 21:43:09
'good enough' tier hacks should be trivially 3d printable, but the devil is in the cad design step

Rotonen
2018-07-22 21:45:11
yeah

Fireduck
2018-07-22 21:45:26
I did a good bit of that for 3d printing hobby projects

Fireduck
2018-07-22 21:45:50
in fact the yellow drive holder in my first picture I designed and printed

Fireduck
2018-07-22 21:48:19
shit, I should have just checked ebay

Fireduck
2018-07-22 21:48:28
not hard to get

Fireduck
2018-07-22 21:50:09
the thing that sucks is I was 14 out of 20 days into building field 12 on that machine where the cable failed

Fireduck
2018-07-22 21:50:14
oh well

Fireduck
2018-07-22 23:46:03
love how fucking giant that ryzen cpu is compared to the mobo

Clueless
