general

You could get a pci expansion card with additional sd card slots if you have any spare space, alternatively a usb2 hub should be plenty fast

And that case is fantastic

or, just get a usb dongle

yes I know thats an option

I have one

idk how often you use SD cards is all

raspberry pi development needs you to mess with micro-sds

its really me trying to figure out what else I can put in the 2 other PCIe slots I have

If I want to do actual machine learning stuff with it I should put in at least one other graphics card

most of my machines have 10G network cards, which does fill a slot

though I guarantee you don't need that

my motherboard already has 2 lan ports and wifi antennas for some reason

that Asrock board you linked earlier?

yeah

I think one of them might be 2.5G

unless it's just a dual 1G board

actually, it might be dual 1G

a lot of the old threadripper boards had that

so you can setup link tethering/aggrigation

yeah, dual 1G

you probably don't have a use for it

what is the difference between USB 3.1 Gen 1 and 2?

5GB/s vs 10GB/s

no USB devices read or write that fast though

unless you're loading into RAM

this seems like a good thing to plug into that C port

shipping speed is awful though

lol

get Corona'd

Dang spooky, do you have 10gb networking through you house

sort of

the line is 1G ofc, since you can't get higher even on a business plan

right

I assume 10gb switch between devices on network

it's hard, since CAT 6A is just becoming standard

Yea

my switch has 4 SFP ports, which I use for my servers

Ok

Ok

and link aggregate them

that’s pretty fancy

Could you not just connect each pc to the switch without daisychaining

Oh wait

Yea, limited 10g ports

there's no real latency, which is ideal for me

Hm, I guess if it works

(mostly because I can't saturate a 10G line to my gaming computer)

what sort of things do you do with a bunch of servers and 10gb

On my desk I've got 2 traditional computers, and then in my rack I've got 3 "servers"

the beefiest server is a proxmox box I use for virtualization

and I have a dozen VMs (fuck containers) that I just run cool stuff I find on Github

Everything you say just gives me more questions

What do you do with a bunch of vms

then in addition to the proxmox box, I've go ta freenas box and a custom build I use to run our cult server

Oh yea

which is underbuilt right now

And you have that website for streaming to

Dang

You in cis or something

that's the cult site, there was more to it last year, but I'm a mix of lazy/busy and never fix stuff

and no, I'm into computers but I'm not CS

Well dang, you know a whole lot

That’s real nice

Spooky is a history major

Ope

^^

unironically

Honestly about to minor in PolSci or History

It’s fun stuff

I think server breakdown is like 90% engineers, I am in mathmatical physics, rusp is in microbiology

Ok yea, I’m a computer information systems and business major

I envy people who are genuinely good at CS, I met 1-2 people in college who really wowed me with their ability

most CS majors are about at my level, which imo isn't that great

Man you must envy my god tier python skills

As for cs, I’m real bad, so much math and stuff in programming, idk

I do
