I don't think they absorb _that_ much power, do they?
<kris_>
sometimes yeah if you're running sustained 10 gig
<kris_>
this is a 10 gig nic, there are passively cooled ones but the heatsink has to be a LOT larger
<kris_>
10 gig dual port that is
<riteo>
I did not expect that lol
<kris_>
its fine atm though because i only have gig anyway
<kris_>
"only"
<riteo>
yea lol I had 200 mbits but now it's down to like 60
<riteo>
doing a crapton of fiber optic work 'round here so everything's fucked
<riteo>
bonus points, our network setup is cursed as we had to split the "spine" of our house in two 100 mbits connections so my bedroom has only that
<riteo>
that's why I sleep with my server lol
<riteo>
so that I can at least have a local gig connection to it from my desktop
<kris_>
the more cursed networks are the better
<kris_>
i also sleep wtih my server in my bedroom
<riteo>
oh right kris did I ever talk you about my server
<kris_>
i dont have like a rack server though its just a desktop build made out of mostly parts i had spare
<kris_>
and a few hard drives
<kris_>
and nah i dont think you did
<riteo>
I did something even more cursed
<riteo>
A laptop inside a computer case, three hdds braced together with a random 3d printed thing, all powered up through an atx splitter and a boost regulator to the charger
<riteo>
and a crapton of hot glue
<riteo>
should have the pics somewhere
<kris_>
bro
<kris_>
lmao
<riteo>
oh right
<kris_>
that's kinda like top notch
<riteo>
the boot drive is an usb drive, couldn't waste a sata port
<riteo>
alpine linux diskless
<sewn>
chimear lin
<riteo>
your favorite :P
<kris_>
few years ago after my laptop was confiscated by the cops i had a chromebook with 16gb of soldered EMMC so i know how it feels
<riteo>
sewn?
<kris_>
i just straight up installed linux on a usb drive though, no diskless
<sewn>
chimera linu
<riteo>
kris_: understandable, although the diskless concept is really, really interesting
<riteo>
I can boot from an usb2 drive really quickly and wear it very little
<riteo>
also, transactions
<kris_>
i imagine you use their tool to make changes permanent once you've set XYZ up
<riteo>
yea
<kris_>
it's definitely cool
<riteo>
severely, SEVERELY, underdocumented
<kris_>
*that* is something about alpine that is super cool
<kris_>
shocker
<riteo>
lmao
<riteo>
but once I found out the magic order it was fire
<riteo>
I found some pics but those are not the "ready for 0x0.st" ones
<kris_>
my dns server blocks 0x0 anyway
<kris_>
im not really sure why that's the case but i trust quad9 filters lol
