Disable the turbo-boost on any of the 7nm 15w SKU's from AMD, and the fans almost never spin up. Even the 10nm Tiger Lake from intel, with turbo boost...

Is he related to Jack Dorsey?...

[torsionbar28]

^ This 100%. I never understood people who buy those large hideous alien spacecraft looking WiFi routers and place them prominently in their living space....

[torsionbar28]

Honestly I don't see the big deal here. They are not taking anything away from the open source pfSense product that is available today. All they're doing...

[torsionbar28]

I don't know ARM very well, but I wonder if there is some lowest common denominator target they used, just to get the thing booting? Like 'i686' is to...

[torsionbar28]

Not really a substitute for CentOS. This isn't "free forever". This is "free in 1 year increments... for now". You still need an active...

[torsionbar28]

The same can be said for the majority of the big screen fiction produced in the past decade or two. So much of it consists of glittery 3D computer effects,...

[torsionbar28]

That's what I was thinking too. For all of its shortcomings, the Linux/Unix world is still superior to the alternative from Redmond. Even more so during...

Why would you need PCIe SSD's for a home NAS? A newer mechanical HDD will saturate 2.5 Gbe, and 2x SATA SSD's will saturate 10 Gbe....

[torsionbar28]

Yep, seems like a solution in search of a problem. We already have solid wireless networking, and even in high congestion environments it performs better...

[torsionbar28]

I propose GonadOS as a viable alternative....

The trolls are up early this morning.

[torsionbar28]

Because so many amd users are former nvidia users, having abandoned nvidia due to their anti-FOSS stance and the endless frustration caused by their proprietary...

[torsionbar28]

Less nefarious threats are more likely. Losing it, for one. The dog eating it, kids hiding it, etc. Most people can barely keep track of their car keys,...

[torsionbar28]

Agreed, in principle. The Big Tech players of today are the Robber Barrons of the industrial revolution. They need to be reined in, hard.

[torsionbar28]

And yet they allow Antifa to use their platforms, even after violent attacks against police stations and federal courthouses, even after "occupied...

[torsionbar28]

Social media has been a cesspool since its inception. You can find personal attacks and calls to violence on literally any platform on the internet today....

[torsionbar28]

Not to mention that most Linux logins are via SSH and not the local console. We've got hundreds of Linux servers at work, I cannot remember the last...

[torsionbar28]

Which part don't you understand? You've just articulated all the reasons why the lack of EPYC 5000 is a problem, lol. The Opteron 3000 series was replaced...

[torsionbar28]

I'd like an EPYC 5000 series. Something that replaces the Opteron 4000 market segment i.e. a true server/workstation chip with official ECC support, socketed,...
