stuff at work is mostly older Dell servers cause we don't have the
budget to replace everything (or rather, there's not the
funds/needs to really upgrade anything other than maybe the HyperV
cluster at our busy site, though that was mainly spurred on by it
randomly crashing out on fridays but setting VMs to not have a
"dynamic
L208[22:37:43] <Liizzii> allocation"
of 1TB of RAM made them not keel over)

talking one of my coworkers yesterday about the r710 servers, they
said that if i wanted to take one for home use it'd be fine since
they're on the disposal pile anyway. and I worked out, based on
just the idling-in-bios-power-consumption of around 200w, it wasn't
gonna be worth it. compounded with the fact that i don't have a
rack, it's
L218[22:47:00] <Liizzii> DDR3 and slow as
fuck i said "nah"
L219[22:47:41] <Liizzii> my home server
(old i7 6700k rig), is currently using 55w of power
L220[22:47:43] <S3> I have
been looking at an r730XD for a storage server

desktop and server is haswell with DDR3
L223[22:49:36] <Liizzii> that's 3rd gen,
so slightly newer than the 1st gen ones (Dell's numbering is weird.
first number is no. of sockets, 1-3=single socket, 4-7=dual,
8-9=quad, second number is the generation, third number is 0 if
it's intel, or 5 if it's amd
L224[22:50:07] <Liizzii> Izzy, lol, my
6700k rig got relegated to home server duties when i got my Ryzen 9
5950X rig in 2020
L225[22:50:37] <Izzy> ngl I keep looking
at new hardware and it keeps getting less attractive
L226[22:50:53] <Izzy> price is going up
faster than performance
L227[22:51:17] <Izzy> my plans for a
second storage server at my grandad's consist of buying a 4GB IDE
DOM for this old Thecus NAS I have, then filling it with whatever
drives I can dig up and spinning up a RAID on it
L228[22:51:18] <Liizzii> and i haven't
used it (the 5950x rig) all that much outside of heavy gaming for
the past year or so because electricity prices are not worth it and
my laptop trudges along at 50w or so max
L229[22:52:17] <Izzy> wonder if power is
more expensive there than here
L230[22:52:20] <Liizzii> Izzy, ye, i get
that (about new hardware being unattractive). The only reason i got
the 5950x rig was because over the summer of 2020, i got into VR
stuff more and the i7's 4c/8t was not keeping up that well.
L231[22:53:14] <Izzy> I would love a
machine with faster single-core performance or more memory
capacity, but when that means replacing CPU, motherboard, and RAM,
that's very expensive, and GPUs are even worse
L232[22:53:22] <Izzy> a modern midrange
card costs more than my entire machine did
L233[22:53:42] <Liizzii> our current rate
is £0.2793/KWh (about 28 pence)
L234[22:54:38] <Izzy> huh.
L235[22:55:06] <Izzy> despite subsidising
a bunch of coal power plants our power is only half the price
L236[22:55:08] <Izzy> small mercies
L237[22:55:08] <Liizzii> I'm still rocking
the 5700XT I got as a replacement for my Vega64 (which i still
have). Have contemplated upgrading it to either 6000 or 7000 series
radeon but i use the machine so little it's not with it
L238[22:55:22] <Izzy> (0.18 GBP or
so)
L239[22:55:47] <Izzy> also, solar and
batteries :3
L240[22:56:05] <Liizzii> wow, that's about
the levels we were at during 2020
L241[22:56:08] <Izzy> getting rid of the
catalyst should've helped with power usage too, fucker idled at
like 120W
L242[22:58:02] <Liizzii> hmm, wonder if I
could re-purpose one of those R710's at my closest site, stick my
tape drive in it then use it as an off-site tape storage box thing
for PBS
L243[22:58:16] <Liizzii> actually that
wouldn't work
L244[22:58:23] <Liizzii> none of them have
5" bays
L245[22:59:18] <Liizzii> so if i was going
to do that (which i still might), I'd just take one of our beaten
up towers, stick my HBA card in there with the tape drive and some
hard drives and then use that
L246[22:59:54] <Izzy> I should put my tape
drive in my server for a laugh
L247[22:59:59] <Izzy> would need to check
the SCSI card would work
L248[23:00:47] <Liizzii> I do kinda wanna
play around and learn how to use the tape drive on linux without
PBS abstracting stuff away
L249[23:01:09] <Izzy> I don't have any
tapes for it yet, and it's not like 80GB is that big a deal
anyway
L250[23:01:38] <Liizzii> but currently
can't because my HBA is in a machine at one of my work sites wiping
the multitude of fucking hard drive we seem to have collected over
the years
L251[23:02:34] <Liizzii> even have some
96GB 2.5" SAS drives
L252[23:14:54] <Liizzii> just looking on
amazon to see if USB-to-SAS adapters/cables are a thing, they seem
to be far and few between. just found one for £80 that supposedly
supports SAS only, not SATA. I thought it was always that a SAS
port could support both, a SATA port could only support SATA
L253[23:16:10] <Liizzii> either way, seems
usb-SAS isn't a thing so i can't just connect my tape drive via
usb, sadge
L254[23:19:54] <CompanionCube> https://www.amazon.co.uk/Adapter-Reader-Enclosure-Docking-Station-SAS/dp/B09HXKYHRG
lol it's £250
L255[23:20:17] <Liizzii> the price
tho...
