31 Containers in all. I have been up as high as ~60 and have paired it back removing the things I wasn’t using.
I also tend to remove anything that uses appreciable CPU at idle and I rarely run applications that require further containers in a stack just to boot, my needs aren’t that heavy.
I reject a lot of apps that require a docker compose that contains a database and caching infrastructure etc. All I need is the process and they ought to use SQLite by default because my needs are not going to exceed its capabilities. A lot of these self hosted apps are being overbuilt and coming without defaults or poor defaults and causing a lot of extra work to deploy them.
The potential problem here is that the mouse model is based on the Amyloid theory of the disease, which this year was largely determined to be wrong after a series of major frauds were found in the research implicating Amyloid. This drug might still work since it seems to act on other aspects of the condition in the bloodwork but there is every chance this doesn’t work in practice.
They are talking hectares in this and it looks like the power density is below that of batteries, but its also cheaper per MWh.
A home long term battery makes a lot of sense, I have thought for a while something that goes from water and the air into methane or even liquid fuel would be highly beneficial as it could run from a generators through the winter and act for long term storage without requiring a turbine.
Because they weren’t invented in 1925? Any durability testing you do today is about assumptions where you accelerate the process for a year by heating it or exposing it to water or whatever will degrade it most to some factor above normal and then extrapolate. That extrapolation was wildly wrong with CDs and it could be with this medium too. Or it might last a lot longer. What they have not done is written to a bunch of them and stored them in a variety of ways for 100 years and concluded they last that long.
The only detail really is that at least 2 of the N machines you are using have to be on at the time so where ever a change was made is synced to another machine that is on and this continues so that you never end up booting a machine to use when nothing else with the latest files is available. This is where having a centralised low power machine is valuable and saves having a desktop or a laptop on when it doesn’t need to be.
I really wish the desktop version of the world had not become so marginalised as local programs are considerably better to use than websites, they are so much quicker, accessible and easier to use.
Making desktop applications has become a nightmare in anything but C or C# and that isn’t exactly a language people really want to be programming in these days. That is a big part of the problem there aren’t good GUI bindings for a lot of languages and most programmers nowadays have been building websites and working with GUI APIs is a huge step back.
Everyone is preferring server/web solutions now as its easier to charge customers for it and keep it up to date and the knock on consequence is desktop app support isn’t great or considered important.
On the one hand they were talking selfhosting and then they pull out multiple $10s thousands rack servers. People don’t need a data centre at home to sync some files, pictures, email and play some media!
Every one always says XMPP and there were a lot of recommendations for ejabberd. I tried this recently and it was a total disaster, I do not have a working chat server. If I followed the docker instructions the server would just crash with no details of what went wrong. Where it should have been creating a default server config file it was instead creating a directory with the wrong permissions then promptly crashing. I tried following their documentation but after about 6 hours of messing about and adding more and more I still couldn’t get a client to login to it. I have no idea how to make this work.
So whatever the solution ultimately is I can’t recommend Ejabberd.
A 9800X3D gets ~820 single thread and ~8600 multithread. So its 41% the speed on single thread and 30% multithreaded. That is more than a decade out of date still a long way to go.
Someone was reviewing some footage and decided to hide the deletion in amongst lots of other benign videos. They seem to always loose the critical videos showing police brutality don’t they!?
Its not the populace, our politicians just like in the US have gone rogue. People are voting for the nutters due to anti immigration propaganda and so increasingly getting far right. Its happening across the entire western world and its bad news for everyone.
Initially a lot of the AI was getting trained on lower class GPUs and none of these AI special cards/blades existed. The problem is that the problems are quite large and hence require a lot of VRAM to work on or you split it and pay enormous latency penalties going across the network. Putting it all into one giant package costs a lot more but it also performs a lot better, because AI is not an embarrassingly parallel problem that can be easily split across many GPUs without penalty. So the goal is often to reduce the number of GPUs you need to get a result quickly enough and it brings its own set of problems of power density in server racks.
Grid forming will just mean the keep running the house when the power goes off, it’s not safe for them to be pushing power when it’s disappeared, that has been set by regulation in many countries.
Civilisation is ending, probably the whole of humanity and we will likely take much of the other animals with us. Humanity is an extinction event. Its all over but for dying now, just carry on living your life and just know this is it, we failed the great filter. We could have done something about this once we understood the problem from any point from the 19th century onwards but the failure of Kyoto agreement in the 1990s marked the point where we were always going to fail, it was the last moment where correction could save us. The last tipping point will happen in the next year or two and then a whole bunch more of unknown events will occur that we didn’t even predict. The temperature growth will continue to accelerate.
A rich country with poverty enforced on its people, the wealthy is only for a small select few. Which is why you don’t have healthcare and worker rights and everyone can afford to have a house, food and family. The presence of a rich guy that can spend this amount of a theme park says it all about the inequality in our societies, while other people starve to death he is making fun rides. Its a failure of many successive elections, the electorate is at fault.
I use a 5600g on b450 ITX board and 4x 8GB Seagate drives and see about 35W idle and about 40W average. It used to be 45W because I was forced to use a GPU in addition to a 3600 to boot (even though its headless, just a bad bios setup that I can’t fix) and getting a CPU with graphics dropped my idle consumption quite a bit. I suspect the extra wattage for your machine is probably the bigger motherboard and the less efficient CPU.
It is possible to get the machine part down into single digits wattage and then about 5W a drive is the floor without spinning them down, so the minimum you could likely see with a much less powerful CPU is about 30-35W.
The thing is peertube wont grow unless the people aware of it start advertising and using it as an alternative. It takes collective investment in building the audience on an alternative for it to become viable.
There is no end to the greed of those with millions and especially billions and they aren’t content to just keep running a profitable business, they have to get all the money.
This is just the history of humanity and finances forever, the one saving grace in all this is every big business gets complacent in its money making and seeks ever increasing profit (and becomes management heavy) until a young upstart finds a way to do it a lot better and cheaper and disrupts the market. Google has become the big lumbering unable to change organisation seeking maximum profit now, its become IBM.
Its a big problem. I also dump projects that don’t automatically migrate their own SQLite scehema’s requiring manual intervention. That is a terrible way to treat the customer, just update the file. Separate databases always run into versioning issues at some point and require manual intervention and data migration and its a massive waste of the users time.
