Did someone say cheap ethernet cables?

>I just shout at my supplier for a while an get a roll of cable with a bunch of "connector heads" for free once he gets annoyed[1].
The rest is "take out that knife and a pair of those pliers [?] for attaching connectors"

[1] which is normally "in about 40 seconds"

Ah, if you make your own cables then you're clearly the real man here

But actually that's a pretty good idea. Would mean that I wouldn't have to put up with cables that are too long and making a mess or too short and stretched across the floor.

Yep, making up cables yourself is the only way to go! Hell, ya can get 1000 feet of cable and a hundred ends for under a $100 usually.......If ya shop around.
With a 1000 feet of cable a person can keep oneself in cat cables for years. LOL

Easy.

Unless you want/need very specific cable lengths, might as well just go for manufactured cables though.

Bratislava, the Dell T5500, is already at 5500 pts after slightly less than 24 hours. I'm considering that money well spent :toast:

Seems like the crashing has stopped so nighttime crunching is a thing. Maybe even during the day except I'm having major issues trying to sleep.

You do have a valid point there. I think the first time I purchased cable and ends was I needed a cable over 50' and well below 100' LOL

And of course I then proceeded to wire a pals heated shop for LAN parties......Well that pretty much used up the first 1000 feet of cat5 I purchased. :laugh:

Boy, picking a PSU is the biggest pain. I'm looking for the cheaper side, so about $80, and there is nothing really there.

Someone's busy, so I'll point you to one that he'd normally recommend. It's not modular, but it's made by Seasonic: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207013&Tpk=N82E16817207013

Hmm, a fantasy recommendation? You must have fantasies about other things that most people if your fantasizing about power supplies. :laugh:

that is exactly what I was figuring but just had to give Matt some crap.

[Ion] · Apr 10, 2015

Got everything set up in BOINC:

I realized that the router I'm using for the second network lets me forward different external ports to internal ones; this means that I can have Karnten, Targoviste, Wien, and Bratislava all on the same IP but accessed via different external port numbers. That and a new network switch finally means that everything can be monitored at once.

Also, 310 threads!

Not sure if that was mobile-auto-fail or vodka-fail, likely a combo of the 2 :roll:

Yeah it's an unreasonably large collection of HW, particularly for a small-ish appartment. And a drastically unbalanced one too. Kiev alone has over 10% of the threads (32 of 310) and does about 10% of the PPD. Paderborn, the SR-2, is the second fastest, followed by the 24c Opty, the pair of 16t Xeons, and so on. All the way down the stack, including the HP i5s that I love so much, and lastly even the little Atom

A ludicrous power bill I'm imposing on the university, too

Eh, feel no remorse... the university can pay the bill! I'm sure they're not broke :laugh:

keep it up!

I suspect that the uni gets better electric rates than individuals do, but I'd be surprised if it was less than 4kw (and given that there's 4 laptops + the Atom and everything else is real desktops, very likely a good bit more) so that's not cheap. At regular consumer prices here (~9c/kWh) that's ~$9 a day

Nordic · Apr 11, 2015

Watch as his university raises tuition by exactly $9 a day...

If your dorms are sizable, it is probably a drop in the bucket. What is 4kw in a 100kw university. Or maybe there is a concerned electrician or bean counter at the university trying to track you down. Who knows?

Well, with something like 40k students + faculty, it's probably more than 100kW overall. At least I'd suspect.
The fire marshall came by a few days ago and said that technically I wasn't allowed to have so many computers, but since it was all reasonably tidy and it wasn't for profit he'd overlook that.

Down for the count for awhile. Just some things going on with $ and moms Leukemia. Just fired Boinc on the home rig and back atter. One p.c. for now. May part out the xenons and hynix ram from the server to a team member for nadda. Free to a member that I trust that has been atter for awhile and can use it. P.m. for spec's on the hardware. Have to be able to use it after all. I will pay shipping.( North America only I'm afraid.) Thought about one of the challenges but if they don't work or help then............... I would give the whole server but man is it big and heavy. Who knows maybe something can be worked out. Just feels good to be back. Have to figure something out for energy consumption and the server is awesome for points but shes a hungry beast.
P.s. Hi team. Been awhile.

Welcome back, sorry to hear about the difficult times. It's very understandable though as times often become very tough, and sometimes we have to make sure if our priorities.

Don't be a stranger, hang out here for a while to maybe help ease or pass the time
