Gotta love not getting anywhere near what you pay for for internet.
Thanks AT&T I'm loving my 50 KiB/s.
Anyone ever used/have any experience with a program called KillDisk? There's not too much info out there other than the company's site but it's somehow stuck on two used hard drives I bought. I've deleted all partitions and reformatted in ubuntu but whenever my server boots it still displays a splash screen showing the time and date when the drives were wiped. This wouldn't be a problem except that they require a key press to clear and it prevents the server from coming up automatically after power on.
How is Cox? I'm looking at Gigablast for the Gbit but 35 Mbit up is kinda disappointing, also the $120 pricetag.
I have Cox here in Fort Smith and I love it. $120 in New York got us 5/5 so I'm paying ~150 for 300/35 and unlimited data usage.

dd /dev/zero to each drive and let it finish. If anything survives that, then your problem is elsewhere.
ARE WE GREAT NOW?
Thanks, Obama.
I get that the tariffs suck, but what the hell are those cases made of, robar-coated twice imported hammer-forged hand scraped aerogel?
Other medium sized (if completely unrelated) shops like RMRC have been pretty honest with direct impact to cost.
My guess is it's simply compounded. They had loads to pay off higher tariffs made it more difficult perhaps. But they're cases are insanely expensive but I imagine the material costs alone are a huge chunk.
Not getting political here, just trying to think about how this might have happened.
This is the worst day ever.
So after months of instability on my Ryzen Linux server, I finally think I've got it fixed.
I heavily suspected the ASRock board I used, but couldn't really justify the TCO aspect on a whim.
I finally got the time to pull the machine and run diagnostics, and confirmed it wasn't the data center, RAM, or a number of other components (I was going to test the PSU next).
I ended up doing a BIOS update, which opened up the option to have AMD CPB manage power, instead of ASRock's power tuning. After disabling Global C-States again (something that causes a hard lock on idle Linux after ~6 hours) it's been perfectly stable since. Application latency has also improved drastically.
So yeah, moral of the story is:
Don't cheap out on motherboards
C-states suck
Let papa AMD handle it's own power delivery
Get to know your remote-hands person
Next up is installing stats collection and TC rules.
It's amazing how shit ASRock has been doing on AM4, they came out really strong at first but all I've been hearing is constant problems with their boards.
I bought one shrug
hopefully it doesn't develop any problems
Everybody has been having problems on AM4 except Asus largely.
Both as a new platform, but also because RGB shit has driven BoM for boards in not good directions.
AMD since Bulldozer has also been given pathetic boards compared to Intel's.
Even in the enthusiast space, I feel boards aren't where they need to be.
My old AF mid-range AM3 board has more debug features, and better heatsinks than most mid-high end AM4 boards.
On X399/TR4 it's a bit different: The Gigabyte X399 Designare EX is a fantastic piece of kit, as does the MSI X399 MEG Creation.
Hopefully these HEDT Zen parts allow these board manufacturers to figure shit out, and put the resources towards good Zen BIOSes that trickle into the mainstream spaces.
Well fuck, that blows. A bunch of great people too working there, stupid helpful even with random forum direct PMs.
Put nixie tubes in case y/n?
Which Ubiquiti router should I get for a new small business office? I'm going all ubiquiti right out of the gate.
How many clients/devices?
Maybe 2 dozen or so.
Anyone know where I can get a SATA Power y-splitter that isn't going to start a house fire?
eBay/Amazon. Honestly there's almost no way to fuck up a y cable for power unless the company really doesn't give a shit.
Yeah just get whatever, more likely to find one that splits one connector into 4 though. Can pick one up for a couple of $$$.
A SATA y-split can easily suffer from the same problems as a Molex to SATA, since the problem is at the SATA connector.
You want one with a crimped connector rather than a molded one. You can play detective games with an image but the only proper way to tell is to have it in your hands.
A molded connector will typically have the little rim of plastic around the edge where the two halves of the mold meet together. You might also be able to find a push-out pin spot somewhere on the plastics.
I ended up going with StarTech's black 4-way splitter as the pics showed them to be crimped. As far as I can tell no crimped y-splitters exist and there's no way I'm going near the molded shit.
Did something happen to Chrome recently to make its RAM usage even more disgusting? With 4 tabs open (youtube subscription page, this, facebook and reddit), it's hovering around 1.2gb used, spread across 11 processes. I can open up Diablo 3 and have that just barely edge out Chrome for the amount of RAM it uses.
I've got some addons I like to use but if I can find suitable replacements somewhere else, I'd love to jump ship. This is horrible.
Probably this, honestly.
Youtube seems to use disgusting amounts of RAM post redesign.
This seems to be supported by the fact that having the same pages open except a playing video upped it to 1.5gb.
they did increase ram utilization because of Spectre fixes
