What you guys are hosting instead of Nextcloud? I'm sick of it. in c/main@selfhosted.forum

Next cloud must be the worst piece of shit ever

I never stop seeing people complain about it :(

It sounds like the sync aspect was written by the crash plan folks.

I use h2testw, did you find any outright fakes (died first pass?)

SSD prices are getting cheaper and cheaper. HDDs aren't. in c/datahoarder@selfhosted.forum

This is a bit of a cherry pick.

​

Sure the drives are dropping slower but at the end of the day, I have a mental 'limit' on hard drive prices.

​

I paid $250 AUD for 3TB once.

Then I paid $250 AUD for 5TB

Then 8 and finally, 16.

​

It's taken some time but it continues to evolve. It's going to take a very long time before an SSD which lasts in excess of 5 to 10 years, matches HDD speeds (you heard me) and costs less than $250 AUD for 16TB.

Gotta be honest the 2 bottom ones need to go, for neatness, power use, etc - I just see no point in anything bigger than a 1L now unless it's a total beast.

You can stack the 1L from Dell / Lenovo and HP all quite nicely.

AMD DASH Remote management (out of band) KVM IPMI for Pro CPUs, who has used it? (alien.top)
 

Hi,

I'm tempted to pick up some Lenovo AMD Pro based business desktops, they're small and cheap and powerful.

Unfortunately I'm finding hugely conflicting information across the internet about DASH which AMD supports and if it works or can even do all I need.

It's mentioned here in this post by /u/Zghembo

https://old.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/bic7yj/what_is_needed_for_bios_level_vnc_remote_access/elzp794/

I've found 2 businesses who seem to be reviewing remote maangement technology for big businesses I guess.

https://www.principledtechnologies.com/Dell/OptiPlex-7070-Micro-management-comparison-science-0620.pdf

Alarmingly this line is in there:

"Note that the Lenovo ThinkCentre M75s SFFs didn’t support KVM control"

Then there's this, similar article.

Page 14 has this

"OOB BIOS & Desktop KVM Remote Control BIOS Only"

Which would indicate you can't remotely control the machine, only in the bios.

At the end of the day, all I want is to be able to turn on and off a PC remotely and see the console and use it remotely if something goes wrong. This includes using the bios.

This also means remote controlling linux / bsd / not just Windows.

Can AMD DASH do this (I see provision guides which recommend not only Windows but very particular drivers at that?)

Here's what the Intel solution looks like - once setup, it's simple.
