    90K+ Performance limited by the Apple M1 — more cores, faster cores, or back to x86?

    I manage linux clusters with Ansible, there are people who the same with Macs. All you need is a terminal. I rely on Automator heavily and it can easily send out commands through SSH. Here's something that I'm working on: I have a scanned PDF of a few thousand pages that I need to OCR and then...

    90K+ Performance limited by the Apple M1 — more cores, faster cores, or back to x86?

    If you invest Rs 1111 every month in something that gives you 9% pa (per annum/year), you'll have 10 lakhs by the time you're 40. Invest 5k and you'll have 50 lakhs. Try and stick with "safe" investments like non-debt equity funds or gold. Skip the fast food, the movies, the drinks. You'd have...

    Looking for a low powered mini pc

    I like the enterprise mini/tiny/micro systems that are DDR4 based. They're built to a higher standard compared to the prosumer-grade N100 white-label stuff that's resold everywhere and the manufacturing is far more mature, with many iterations over the years. They're usually sold as barebones...

    Need Suggestions for Couriers with Doorstep Pickup (Delhi)

    This happens if the hub that services your pin code is inaccessible (road work) or overburdened with undelivered parcels (lack of manpower). It usually is fixed in a week or three. Happens regularly with the one closest to me so I just go in person to book there or pickup, it's less than 1km away.

    CPU/Mobo Onboard 2.5Gbe Ethernet LAN Intel vs Realtek

    In systems that are part of a virtualization cluster (up 24/7), none of the onboard solutions on desktop boards have been reliable. They will lockup and drop links, whether it's Intel 1Gbe or Realtek's 2.5Gbe. I've had about half my nodes affected like this. I suspect it's an airflow issue...

    Attack on my Home Server

    Wait, you had... a windows machine exposed to the internet... DIRECTLY?! That should never be done. It's never safe. Exposing services through a static ip has never been a good idea, not even twenty years ago when everyone had their own private FTP server running on their desktop. Set up...

    Need advice regarding shipping

    That's what the laundry is for. Plus the hardshell suitcases are usually a deterrent, even more so when you have them wrapped in plastic wrap. Also, booking time is important, I did it early in the morning as soon the place opened — I actually had to wait for the owner to come open the shutter...

    Need advice regarding shipping

    I used DTDC's luggage shipping service when I was relocating to India about five years ago. I booked it from my port of entry and took a cheap flight home. It was around Rs 10k for >100kg (I don't remember the details). It had my desktops, monitors, homelab, and lots of clean laundry. Probably...

    Fraud use of my adhaar. Need help if anyone from mumbai

    So I found something that works. When I got connected to a person, I pretended that it was I that had called them, to order a pizza. Large cheese pizza, half with olives, half plain cheese. Then I scolded them for not getting my last order correct and being late with the delivery. The entire...

    Guide Teardown and preparation of Polycab's 16A Wi-Fi Smart Plug for Tasmota

    And if you wanted a reason to not do this: The unit itself is fine, the electronics and circuit board anyway. Stresses on the socket in the smart plug by the 16A plug top I was using and swapping around (we have irregular electricity so I would switch a different wall outlet if one...

    This place is amazing.

    Welcome! Yeah, this place is pretty awesome. I mean I thought I was pretty cool then I saw there were like way more smarter people here and I'm just in awe. The rule threads are very important, most infarctions have a one-strike-and-you're-temp-banned kind of policy and some members think a...

    Until very recently, new members were invited to the marketplace in the welcoming email they recieved upon sign up. I'm guessing sometime in the last 20 years, focus shifted away from the marketplace but the measures put in place to promote the marketplace hadn't been updated. I myself lurked...

    It absolutely feels that way. Here's my understanding: despite the ground reality of how things actually are, the marketplace is a fringe part of the forum, intended for members to dispose of unwanted purchases to like-minded people. The core and main purpose of the forum will always been the...

    But neither of those contribute to the discussion. There's no contribution to the forum collective when you don't take part and share opinions/ideas/thoughts. Post count based ranking is exactly that, if you're merely an observer why would any rank appeal to you? Membership would suffice for...
