Of course not, the CPU and memory requirements alone will rule out basically every FAT32 use case. ZFS is a big heavy filesystem and requires a fast...

What about DildOS?

[torsionbar28]

Made me LMAO for real, well done sir. ...

[torsionbar28]

The errors are in a standard format, so while they may appear similar at first glance, the details are important. AFAIK modern x86 CPU caches utilize...

[torsionbar28]

Knowing your temps is nice I guess. But knowing when you have memory errors is even more important. A board (and/or CPU) that doesn't support ECC is...

[torsionbar28]

Been there done that and agree completely. The absolute worst are the blade servers. A rack full of 1U servers is a close 2nd. Cozy to stand behind though...

Russia. Definitely some collusion going on here....

[torsionbar28]

I agree, however SiFive has never made any indications that they were pursuing a Free-as-in-Freedom totally open strategy. I don't know of a single Risc-V...

[torsionbar28]

No doubt. IME most Dynatron coolers are targeted more towards a datacenter usage where noise isn't a factor. Not something you'd want to have in a home...

[torsionbar28]

Strange, must be some corner case, odd hardware combo, etc. I've put many hours of Linux gaming on an Rx 480, Vega 56, and now an Rx 5600 XT, without...

If the BMC interface can perform BIOS upgrades, then a CPU is not required, since the BMC is active even with the machine powered down....

[torsionbar28]

So it's completely useless for 99.999% of today's workloads, client or server, and the few pieces of software that theoretically could use it, haven't...

[torsionbar28]

This is the oft cited answer for what AVX-512 is useful for, yet nobody has any examples of this usage benefiting from AVX-512. Do you have any real world...

[torsionbar28]

Who wants to do this? And why? How would it even work, you'd have to manually pair/unpair the devices from each and every server? Seems like a PITA vs...

[torsionbar28]

Because the use cases for USB are clear. What purpose is served by paravirtual BT devices? Bluetooth is consumer technology that has near-zero deployment...

[torsionbar28]

They sure did, but the downside was very little support for any PCIe AIC's. The few that were supported, appeared to have been qualified by Raptor themselves,...

[torsionbar28]

That's quite a price cut from the $10k the Cascade Lake 8280 sold for. Intel must be feeling some serious pressure from EPYC. Not sure I'd want to be...

[torsionbar28]

It is a striking visual design, isn't it? Those rays or beams emanating from within the chip are eye catching. They appear to represent the number of...

[torsionbar28]

Edit: Looks like that's not actually the case. The value you report above means mitigations are disabled by default, and only enabled on a per-process...

[torsionbar28]

Accusations of wrong-doing, with zero evidence of it actually occurring? That is some straight CNN fake news right there....
