Samsung, SK hynix, and Micron are getting sued, as it turns out that not all RAM price increases were caused by AI. They just used AI as an excuse to increase their prices.
Please use $HOME instead of this. There are configurations that do not rely on the usual /home/$USER format. The root user is a good example, having their $HOME set to /root.
SSDs are electronic, while HDDs are mechanical. This means that moving memory regions (pages) between system RAM and the storage requires:
physical moves, in the case of HDD
accessing a different region of the chips, in the case of SSD
Imagine a scenario in which completely unrelated data access requests floods your storage drive. An HDD needs to constantly realign its needle to the requested locations, while the SSD can just re-route its data lines to that location.
No. AI workloads benefit from SSD's high random read/write performance. Also, I guess, more people starting using SSDs for paging/swap, as RAM prices skyrocketed.
This resulted in an SSD shortage immediately after RAM starting getting expensive. Which in turn caused an HDD shortage, because people need space to store their data.
If I understand correctly, this affects 3d printers that can read STL. What if someone, hypothetically, uses an open source slicer, like Orca, and print from gcode?
I used to port forward, but I have stopped doing it. I don't want to have open ports on the same IP that I use for internet browsing.
I have my local server connected, via WireGuard, to a cheap nearby VPS. All my services are exposed from that VPS.
This configuration also offers full portability to my home server, allowing me to switch to any ISP, or even move to mobile data, if I have to.
For applications that require even lower latency, like remote gaming, I use Tailscale, which can traverse the NATs and create direct connections between the devices.
Instructions unclear. My ford escort definitely hates me
