…what?

Most of the companies you’re mentioning do not have their own chip foundries. The only - and I do mean only - companies that have working lithography lines to support bleeding edge chips at massive scale are Samsung, TSMC, and Intel. Several other companies are investing in eventually gaining that capability, but right now, thats it. And these things take a LONG time to spin up and iron out the issues.

TL;DR: the problem is how few companies actually MAKE the chips, not how many companies DESIGN them.

DAS enclosures are super easy to set up. Disk won’t be a big issue if you go that route.

If you’re planning on running containers, tbh I would not. The required virtualization layer (due to macOS being BSD-based) is going to make containers WAY less efficient. You’re better off with a system you can easily slap proxmox (or whatever distro floats your boat) on.

lol no

They’d be buying them for their chip foundries. Apple doesn’t want to have to contract out their chip production. Their whole MO is vertical integration - acquiring their own chip lithography and manufacturing lines would be a HUGE step in that direction.

Hey gelsinger, how about stop doing all those stock buybacks, you fucking tool

Lmao it’s kinda hilarious, because all the positive PR in the world isn’t going to fix the fact that they’re a shit company with a shit product that only makes products it’s used on worse. Do as much investor spin as you want - that fact will never change, and you’ll still be hated.

Huh, really? Is there that much of a perf hit using passthrough? I’d have assumed that the bottleneck isn’t actually the PCIE, so much as it is the beefiness of the GPU crunching the model.

Bro this is a community for sharing knowledge and increasing the technical aptitude of fellow users by doing said sharing. Maybe instead of shitting on a pretty solid digest of the fundamentals of setting up something like this, try adding to the body of knowledge instead.

Wtf are you talking about. PCIe passthrough exists.

Tbh, I’m going to break my usual rule and preorder it, if for no other reason than to support the devs who put this together in spite of their country being invaded by Russia for well over two years

…after knowing for damn sure it was a serious issue in two successive process generations.

There is no way this happened without a LOT of people knowing EXACTLY what was happening, and covering it up. The DoJ should really kick off an investigation into the situation, because it’s pretty obvious there was malfeasance at multiple levels. That, or their leadership and QC processes are both so categorically inept that one could argue the company should be straight up nationalized as a critical strategic asset.

Lmao for real… way to make me feel old 🥲

Fair; I blame target fixation

Well sure, but the question was about gluetun, so I was trying to focus on that and the applications thereof. In terms of homelab stuff, I know a lot of people appreciate the containerized approach.

Oh yeah you can do it that way too, but if you want it all containerized, that’s roughly how to do it. That’s all I meant.

It’s convenient if you want to see gluetun up as the only way a container (say, your torrenting container) can get to the open net, in the interest of avoiding getting directly pinged by DMCA rats. That way, if the VPN goes down, your torrent client isn’t just downloading stuff nakedly. Also, if you want to set up different VPN connections for different containers, it’s pretty easy to set a handful of replica containers for that too.

I had an old T60p - yeah, Core 2 Duo baybeeeee. Iirc that was one of the last models that were made under IBM before Lenovo bought the Thinkpad brand. Since then, my primary personal laptop has ALWAYS been a thinkpad, simply because the keyboard IS that good. Seriously, I really do not think that any other laptop line offers a better keyboard, or is so consistently at the top of the pack.

Note: I’m talking specifically about Thinkpads, and particularly the X and T lines. Non-thinkpads are much more of a roll of the dice.

I mean I’ll buy their shit from time to time, but not unless it’s basically on firesale on steam
