And signal integrity. At modern speeds trace lengths are spec’d in mils and dimms can be tough to design for (or just more expensive) so OEMs just solder ram directly.

- Comment on LPCAMM2 Is Finally Here, and It’s a Big Deal 1 week ago:
This is v2 of the CAMM spec and it’s awesome. They’ve solved all of the major issues that were causing laptop mfgrs to solder ram directly to the motherboard and they’ve nailed the biggest problem with v1 which was the ease of damaging the CAMM connector pins. Apparently you could wreck the v1 connector with compressed air if you weren’t paying attention, which makes tool-free connector replacement in v2 a great addition.

Edit: get Elon Musk on the phone, he’s deranged enough to spend that much money on something like this while ignoring the ethical and moral implications /s
You joke but he’d probably traumatized a synthetic intelligence enough that it’d think 4chan user behavior is the baseline human standard

- Comment on Calculus made easy 2 weeks ago:
My intro to calculus came in the form of a battered copy of a 1979 historical calculus textbook by W.M. Priestley, it was significantly easier to understand than any of the usual intro to calculus textbooks that I’ve seen.

Worth tracking down a copy if you’re planning to learn calculus, mine saw me through undergrad calc handily.
- Comment on Proxmox Disk Performance Problems 2 weeks ago:
Depends on the SSD, the one I linked is fine for most casual home server use. You’re unlikely to see enough of a write workload that endurance will be an issue. That’s an enterprise drive btw, it certainly wasn’t cheap when it was brand new and I doubt running a couple of VMs will wear it quickly. (I’ve had a few of those in service at home for 3-4y, no problems.)
Consumer drives have more issues, their write endurance is considerably lower than most enterprise parts. You can blow through a cheap consumer SSD’s endurance in mere months with a hypervisor workload so I’d strongly recommend using enterprise drives where possible.
It’s always worth taking a look at drive datasheets when you’re considering them and comparing the warranty lifespan to your expected usage too. The drive linked above has an expected endurance of like 2PB (~3 DWPD, OR 2TB/day, over 3y) so you shouldn’t have any problems there. See sandisk.com/…/cloudspeed-eco-genII-sata-ssd-datas…
- Comment on How much maintenance do you find your self-hosting involves? 2 weeks ago:
+1 automate your backup rolling, setup your monitoring and alerting and then ignore everything until something actually goes wrong. I touch my lab a handful of times a year when it’s time for major updates, otherwise it basically runs itself.

That’s what I’d do here, used enterprise SSDs are dirt cheap on fleaBay
- Comment on Proxmox Disk Performance Problems 2 weeks ago:
If I had to guess there was a code change in the PVE kernel or in their integrated ZFS module that led to a performance regression for your use case. I don’t really have any feedback there, PVE ships a modified version of an older kernel (6.2?) so something could have been backported into that tree that led to the regression. Same deal with ZFS, whichever version the PVE folks are shipping could have introduced a regression as well.
Your best bet is to raise an issue with the PVE folks after identifying which kernel version introduced the regression, you’ll want to do a binary search between now and the last known good time that this wasn’t occurring to determine exactly when the issue started - then you can open an issue describing the regression.
Or just throw a cheap SSD at the problem and move on, that’s what I’d do here. Something like this should outlast the machine you put it in.

iowait is indicative of storage not being able to keep up with the performance of the rest of the system. What hardware are you using for storage here?
- Comment on Best Linux Distro For Playing On Steam? 2 weeks ago:
AMD/Nvidia hybrid user here. I’ve had more breakage in the amdgpu driver than Nvidia by far. I think a more fair comment is “drivers break on Linux occasionally and it’s a good idea to learn how to roll back package versions.”
- Comment on Best Linux Distro For Playing On Steam? 2 weeks ago:
Nvidia drivers are largely reliable these days. I’ve daily driven AMD/Nvidia hybrid setups since ~2020 and have only occasionally had Nvidia driver issues. I’ve actually had more breakage in amdgpu due to insufficient testing and code churn - I think I’ve reported close to two dozen regressions over the last 4y.
- Comment on Best Linux Distro For Playing On Steam? 2 weeks ago:
Check out bazzite.gg - it’s a gaming spin of Fedora atomic and I’ve heard nothing but good things.
Otherwise there’s always Arch, or a derivative like EndeavourOS, that’s where I do my steam gaming. I have, on occasion, had issues with the Nvidia dkms driver and have needed to fork the nvidia-dkms package to track a particular driver release to skip a buggy version. Aside from that it’s been pretty smooth sailing. I use flatpak steam and ProtonPlus to pull Glorious Eggroll releases and everything I’ve played has worked well.

I’m waiting for them to offer a chassis to convert their laptop parts into USFF PCs. Reusing old parts after an upgrade is pretty attractive. I think they mentioned this a while back, I’ve been waiting for it to happen.
