Theres a lot more to this stuff than I thought there would be when starting out. I spent the day familiarizing with how to take apart my pc and swap gpus .Trying to piece everything together.
Apparently in order for PC to startup right it needs a graphical driver. I thought the existance of a HDMI port on the motherboard implied the existance of onboard graphics but apparently only special CPUs have that capability. My ryzen 5 2600 doesnt. The p100 Tesla does not have graphical display capabilities. So ive hit a snag where the PC isnt starting up due to not finding a graphical interface output.
I'm going to try to run multiple GPU cards together on pcie. Hope I can mix amd Rx 580 and nvidia tesla on same board fingers crossed please work.
My motherboard thankfully supports 4x4x4x4 pcie x16 bifurcation which isa very lucky break I didnt know going into this ๐
Strangely other configs for splitting 16x lanes like 8x8 or 8x4x4 arent in my bios for some reason? So I'm planning to get a 4x bifurcstion board and plug both cards in and hope that the amd one is recognized!
According to one source The performance loss for using 4x lanes for GPUs doing the compute i m doing is 10-15 % surprisingly tolerable actually.
I never really had to think about how pcie lanes work or how to allocate them properly before.
For now I'm using two power supplies one built into the desktop and the new 850e corsair psu. I choose this one as it should work with 2-3 GPUs while being in my price range.
Also the new 12v-2x6 port supports like 600w enough for the tesla and comes with a dual pcie split which was required for the power cable adapter for Tesla. so it all worked out nicely for a clean wire solution.
Sadly I fucked up a little. The pcie release press plastic thing on the motherboard was brittle and I fat thumbed it too hard while having problems removing the GPU initially so it snapped off. I dont know if that's something fixable. It doesnt seem to affect the security of the connection too bad fortunately. I intend to grt a pcie riser extensions cable so there won't be much force on the now slightly loosened pcieconnection. Ill have the gpu and bifurcation board layed out nicely on the homelab table while testing, get them mounted somewhere nicely once I get it all working.
I need to figure out a external GPU mount system. I see people use server racks or nut and bolt meta chassis. I could get a thin plate of copper the size of the desktops glass window as a base/heatsink?
The first thought I had was this same scenario but all grown up. Imagine two fully grown 700 lb bovines crammed in your kitchen staring down your dishes lol theyre all cute until they become living flesh tanks then they're still cute but hella bulky and slightly intimidating
Good to hear you figured it out with router settings. I'm also new to this but got all that figured out this week. As other commenters say I went with a reverse proxy and configured it. I choose caddy over nginx for easy of install and config. I documented just about every step of the process. I'm a little scared to share my website on public fourms just yet but PM me ill send you a link if you want to see my infrastructure page where I share the steps and config files.
At the end of the day you need to decide what kind of person you are. Are you pragmatic or idealistic? Are you able to separate art from artist and creation from creator? Should you support a good open source service created for the betterment of everyone if you dont like the politics of its developers?
I'm a pragmatist by nature. I believe that a useful tool remains a useful tool even when its crafted by tankie assholes. If I found out the maker of a computer command like sudo was a leninist or whatever I wouldnt go out of my way to install an alternative just because I dont agree with the batshit politics of the creator. Just like I wouldn't stop enjoying a song after finding out the ones who made it were greedy egotistical dickheads in personal life.
Young and politically charged idealist love that online social justice warrior signalling and political identity posturing. Everythings gotta be us vs them culture war, with us needing to always be on the morally/politically high ground else your a filthy inhuman nazi them who must be refunded/canceled. You get older and realize most people no matter the lean have some level of dogshit half baked politics or some other degree of mental emotional whackiness from past trauma or poor life circumstances causing them to be imperfect animals with dumb fucking biases. That's humanity and the heart of darkness for ya. You can choose to associate the imperfections of the creator with the creation, or you can try to decouple them and see them as separate entities linked by causality.
Ding Ding, check this comment chain for your answer. Today you, tomorrow me.
Question one: yes and no. Most of the vomiting emojis shared here in comments are fake made using googles emoji kitchen thing. But there are many real modifiers for emojis like skin color or adding accents like tildes to regular english alphabet characters.
Question two: Modern keyboards typically have most emojis built in for you to select through. I dont think typing in the unicode values will automatically convert on phone operating systems but this might help if using windows or programming into a website.
the XKCD explained article on this actually gave some really great info.
Thanks for the input! I do eventually plan on making some scripts and a custom web interface to interact with/expose some local services on my network once I have the basics of HTML covered as part of a portfolio thing so would like to cover my ass early and not have problems later
The thing is that even if there isn't much energy in plastic to be extracted, theres still enough energy in it to make a viable food source. Now, consider the humble koala and its primary food source, fucking eucalyptus leaves. Eucalytis is such a dogshit food source that koalas had to spend evolutionary time and energy just to spec into it. To the point they cant eat anything else pretty much. Combine that with the fact that eucalyptis leaves are so devoid of nutrients that the koala has to spend all day every day just snacking on them to not die of malnutrition.
Why? Why would a species even bother with this flim-flam if eucalypti sucks that bad as a food source? The answer is: Food scarcity. Because eucalytis grows everywhere where koalas live and because nobody else is bothering to tap into the food source, this sets up a ecological niche by pretty much gaurenteeing any animal that sucessfully finds a way to make it work will have unlimited amounts of food/energy just from the fact theres so damn much of it and nothing else wants to/can touch it. Sure koalas might have paid the price by sacrificing some brain wrinkles but who needs higher intelligence when you have leaves to snack on and sex to make babies.
A similar thing happened with trees and mushrooms. In the deep evolutionary history of our planet trees were once the apex forms of life with forest covering pretty much the whole planet. This is because nothing knew how to eat the wood stems for a good couple million years. Most of the coal and oil that we dig up today is actually the preserved remains of these unbroken down trees from the carboniferous period that just layed there petrified never rotting until the earths techtonic movement buried the tree corpses deep enough in the mantle for the carbon to compress into hard rock or squeezed+heated into liquid. The great change in the era happened when our humble mycelium bois finally figured out how to eat wood, causing them to essentially become the new apex life for a time by taking advantage of an unlimited and untapped food source (trees).
I suppose my point is to not underestimate the willingness of life to find new food sources. microorganisms don't need much excuse just a slight amount of selective pressure and a couple million/billion/trillion generations of evolutionary trial and error. Which for bacteria takes maybe a couple of years I forget how quick modern microorganism colonies make new generations but its FAST. Add some science nerds who love to play God/intelligent evolution with CRISPR tek and gene tagging, yeah for sure well get plastic eating microbes figured out. Then begins the pandoras box of plastic rotting when we dont want it to.

So its been almost 10 years since i've swapped computer parts and I am nervous about this. Ive never done any homelab type thing involving big powerful parts, just dealt with average mid range consumer class parts in standard desktop cases.
I do computational work now and want to convert a desktop pc into a headless server with a beefy GPU. I bit the bullet and ordered a used P100 tesla 16gb. Based on what im reading, a new PSU may be in order as well if nothing else. I havent actually read labels yet but online info on the desktop model indicates its probably around a 450~ watt PSU.
The P100 power draw is rated at 250 W maximum. The card im using now draws 185 W maximum. Im reading that 600W would be better for just-in-case overhead. I plan to get this 700W which I hope is enough overhead to cover an extra GPU if I want to take advantage of nvidia CUDA with the 1070ti in my other desktop.
How much does the rest of the system use on average with a ryzen 5 2600 six core in a m4 motherboard and like 16gb ddr4 ram?
When I read up on powering the P100 though I stumbled across this reddit post of someone confused how to get it to connect to a regular consumer corsehair PSU. Apparently the p100 uses a CPU power cable instead of a PCIE one? But you cant use the regular cpu power output from the PSU. Acording to the post, people buy adapter cables with two input gpu cables to one output cpu cable for these cards.
Can you please help me with a sanity check and to understand what i've gotten myself into? I don't exactly understand what im supposed to do with those adapter cables. Do modern PSUs come with multiple GPU power outputs/outlets from the interface these days and I need to run two parallel lines into that adapter?
Thank you all for your help on the last post im deeply grateful for all the input ive gotten here. Ill do my best not to spam post with my tech concerns but this one has me really worried.

Yea you know what I was just in the mood to buy a 7500$ glass piece along with my hash lol thanks vendor

The point in time after the first qbit based supercomputers transitioned from theoretical abstraction to physical proven reality. Thus opening up the can-of-worms of feasabily cracking classical cryptographic encryptions like an egg within human acceptable time frames instead of longer-than-the-universes-lifespan timeframes.. Thanks, superposition probability based parallel computations.
