If it helps, 80% of the work i do when wearing my sysadmin hat is just ensuring that all of our systems are communicating properly.

I did like one semester of computer science, does that count?
Honestly I just google shit until I understand it. Linux has great documention, and where it fails you can just read the source code.
I save all of my end of life spools for prints that I’m going to be on hand to supervise, then just spend the day hopping up to swap filaments every half hour or so as each one runs out.
Hmm, I probably have that much distributed across my network… maybe I should look into some way of distributing it across multiple gpu.
Frak, just counted and I only have 270gb installed. Approx 40gb more if I install some of the deprecated cards in any spare pcie slots i can find.
smartmontools has some good functionality for interfacing with SMART via usb bridges that do not provide native functionality.
I just wish it was multithreaded so that i could maintain a colony for more than a week without slowing to potato speeds.
My n00b theory on it, with the proviso that I am not a developer and only have a basic understanding of multithreading, is that you would break up the map into regions, and have each regions pawns and environment handled independently by separate threads/cores while one master thread handled interactions between regions and kept them all in sync.
Regions could dynamically scale depending on how computationally intensive they are, such that when the master/watchdog thread has to wait for one thread significantly longer than any of it’s adjacent region threads, it remaps the boundary iteratively until it acheives minimal wait-time and the load is evenly balanced.
As it stands, I’ve got one core maxed out and the game running slower than realtime while my 15 other cores sit at idle like suckers.
1.2l water
240ml sodium sulfate
60ml sodium chloride
20ml xantham gum(optional for increased efficacy by keeping the solution homogenous)
Boil water, stir until fully dissolved, a small amount of solute should remain, if not, increase sodium sulfate concentration slowly until it does, indicating no free water molecules available for dissolution.
Solution should now be cooled to below 18c( freezing point) for an end product that will regulate temperature to 18c so long as it have sufficient(negative) thermal energy.
Solution of pure sodium chloride will have freezing point approx -20C, while solution of pure sodium sulfate has freezing point +35C. Adjusting the ratio of NaCl to Na2SO4 will shift the freezing point towards either end of thag spectrum, depending on what phase change temperature you are targetting.
Boot into your bios and check the sata mode. A number of machines that I work with(acer predators most notoriously) will for no discernable reason switch from achi mode to rst optane, resulting in no drive being accessible to the os. Switching back to ahci resolves it.
From a read of that article, it appears that they are feeding it analog inputs, which would imply that it is producing analog outputs. I don’t know if there is a way to evaluate floating point operations on an analog system. That said, my knowledge is very cursory, and someone will surely correct me.
This is actually how I do things when working on remote machines. I have far too many monitors, so dedicating on of them to a handful of btop/nvtop terminals works pretty well.
I admit that it’s a less than perfect setup though, and a single program which could handle the remote connections internally and display an aggregate would be nice.
Swappable batteries resolve this issue pretty well. The energy density is far from comparable, but if you’re already hauling a van or trailer to the job site, then a dozen spare batteries isn’t an issue.
It is a very popular Single Board Computer, with a lot of community support that allows people to build and program a variety of things for a low price. Think of it like lego, but for things which can be useful as well as fun.
Want to run a weather station? Pi and a couple of off the shelf sensors, done.
Want to control your lights or appliances from your phone without getting out of bed? Pi and a couple of off the shelf relays, done.
Want to build a retro gaming console? Pi, a couple of off the shelf controllers and some pre-made emulators, done.
Are you sure you’re not confusing this with the concept of “binning”, which is a pretty standard practice for chips?
You manufacture to a single spec, expecting there to be defects, then you identify the defective units, group them by their maximum usability and sell the “defective” units as lower end chips. IE, everything with 24-31 functional cores gets the “extra” cores disabled and shipped as a 24 core, everything with 16-23 functional cores gets shipped as a 16 core, etc
I would argue that the modern smartphone is different, but by no means better. Between the locked down operating systems and the lack of a physical keyboard they are great for consuming media through approved channels, but basically useless if you want to get any work done with them.
People are still using windows?
The trick is to justify buying one for your business, and then using it yourself after hours.
As a business asset, it has paid for itself fivefold in less than a year. As an employee of said business, i have unlimited access to a machine that I could never personally justify the expense of.
