If you want to cut out your ISP device entirely, you will need to know exactly what setup your ISP has given to you, and then match that with your own hardware. The https://pon.wiki/ and servethehome forums are a great place to start for this.

If your ISP device has a passthrough mode that you are happy with using, practically any device with two gigabit ports will work for a 1gbps internet connection. I use a https://friendlyelec.com/ device, because they come with friendlywrt preinstalled, but your choice of router software is basically entirely preference based.

It's got IR built-in too.

It's more expensive, but I grabbed a vero 4k a couple years back and have been really happy with it. They've since put out a new model with av1 support. https://osmc.tv/vero/

It's just about the best possible dedicated jellyfin client box out there, so I felt it was worth the extra squeeze when I got it. (HDR support even!) It's all open source though, so support for things like YouTube, netflix, or any other streaming doesn't really exist in user friendly manner.

I use a vero 4k. They've since dropped support (after seven years) and put out a new model with av1 support. It stills works incredibly well as a jellyfin client box.

A couple bricks missing won't break the wall down quick enough to matter, especially if it's there, just not mortared in all the way.

Schools actually don't just check for autism, they also only offer diagnoses and treatment that they actually have on hand. It's just as likely that you did test positive; they just didn't have enough room for you compared to the more serious cases.

I don't know if it's funnier if tree is gasping in the last panel because his people get used as an asswipe, or if it's a gasp because he's gotta go poo somewhere else now.

Well yeah, but this is the kind of review you want to leave up, as advertisement for the customers you actually want to show up at your shop.

Yeah. Take-Two CEO is a dumbass for the logistical reasons alone. Good-enough-to-stream-games internet is more rare than household VR headsets. There is not enough market to support this industry at the scale required to make it financially viable.

You missed the one in the middle panel on the bottom row :D

Sniffies is the new hotness, even though it is also venture capitalist funded.

They just did this shit to me. Did you manage to get banned/did it resolve the issue?

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Hey y'all.

I've been running a eBay special server with a pair of Xeon E5-2687W v2 and 64gb of cheap RAM. It's been working pretty great (other than a little bit of instability that randomly went away after a while, but I expect to come back at some point). I've had this setup for a couple years now, and have been eyeballing a couple different upgrade paths.

The reason I want to switch is that the eBay special motherboard does not have enough pci-e slots for what I'm planning in the near future.

The reason I want to upgrade is that I like having nice server hardware.

So I have been looking at alternatives. Is anyone else amazed at how cheap a CPU is, but how expensive a socket SP3 motherboard is? The cheapest sp3 board I've found is more than 500$, used. The cpus which will outperform my setup in every metric cost less than 200$.

This had me looking at new/used gaming hardware instead, which is cheaper, but misses out on ecc and also has a more limited amount of pci-e slots as well, (which is the primary motivation for changing my setup).

I'm trying to find a 16core/32 thread setup with the best single core performance available in that class. My current setup is 8core/16thread x2, and i'd like to avoid 'downgrading' to fewer cores. But the things I run usually run do better with more single thread performance than multi thread performance.

I found the epyc 7371, and the ryzen 5950x which meet my core requirements, but both have downsides I'm trying to mitigate. (Mobo price and ECC ram, respectively)

Do y'all have any alternative options I might've missed?
