I’ve been checking around the used market for DDR4. It seems used ECC DDR4 sticks are now cheaper due to low demand.

Time to make a compromise by buying the cheapest €130 8GB stick.

We have that available, I just use mobile data because I disagree with their ToS.
The ToS is so restrictive that you basically immediately break it after connecting a device. I was told that, of course, they don’t really care.
Except - there is a point stating the provider has the right to access your computer if there is a suspicion of ToS violation. Considering the network here is a student-run organization, that could easily be exploited if you piss off someone.
Maybe I am just paranoid, but no thanks.Otherwise, from talking with them, most dorms have 1Gbit, some have 2.5Gbit, and all share a 40Gbit link which could apparently do 100Gbit (I think), but it’s capped due to licensing.
They leverage national academic network.
Oh, and they also got a class B subnet back when everyone was sure there’s just way too many IPv4s, so NAT isn’t being used here. - Comment on Wikipedia in read-only mode following mass admin account compromise 5 days ago:

That was where I went “holy hell”. Wearing out ports is something I am constantly quite scared of when plugging things in. Especially things like cables when they want to twist vertically, but the port is horizontal, and, well, it’s a thick cable, so…

Literally. Repairability used to be expected.

- Comment on Tailscale n00b questions 1 week ago:
Problem with plain Wireguard is if you can’t open ports on some devices to get a direct connection. It should be just fine with hub and spoke model, but NAT Traversal of Tailscale makes a huge difference. I can get a direct connection between 2 devices connected to mobile data and behind CG-NAT.
And also the config management if you have too many devices.Hub and spoke, you just add new devices to Wireguard on the main device, and the new peer. Full mesh, oof.
But as far as configuring Wireguard goes, that’s pretty simple. And then there’s the weird stuff with MTU and fragmentation… but that’s not something Wireguard-specific.

- Comment on Motorola confirms GrapheneOS support for a future phone, bringing over features 1 week ago:
Choice is good. Back when smartphones were still small (3 - 4 inches), I instead bought a 7" tablet with modem and used it as a phone. It was still small enough to fit in a pocket.
- Comment on Motorola confirms GrapheneOS support for a future phone, bringing over features 1 week ago:
You can get that in most Chinese phones. The IR blaster, that is.
There’s even some brands that have crazy phones, like Unihertz, Doogee and Ulefone. You can even get one with a projector.Unihertz specifically makes special phones.

- Comment on Police just made me find out not all Amazon lockers located outside are available 24/7. 1 week ago:
So you are in Austria and close to the border, or in a neighboring country and ordered to a locker in Austria?
In a neighboring country. We don’t have Amazon lockers here, and the international delivery is just way too damn expensive.
Is the locker on a private property that is not open to the public after 7 and that is why they were asking?
Probably. I noticed a private property sign after they stopped me, though it didn’t have any times on it. That’s all I could tell from it. “Penny”, “privatplatz”, and some other text, but no times. I tried to check it on street view, but the sign wasn’t there yet. Just a regular supermarket parking lot.
But also they just left without any warning, so maybe… ?
The police was roaming around there a lot, as if they got paid by the mile. I mean, if something bad happened I wouldn’t have to call the police, just stand next to a road and wait 5 minutes.Do you have an idea why he was confused to hear you are from a certain city?
I am not 100% sure he was confused, but it was a quieter, uncertain OK or “oh”. Perhaps he didn’t expect someone going there at night just to pick up a parcel.

- Comment on Western Digital runs out of HDD capacity: CEO says massive AI deals secured, price surges ahead 3 weeks ago:
Eh, the market will adapt.
I’ve been looking at components on AliExpress. Even now, there’s lots of X99-based motherboards with LGA2011-3 sockets that can take both regular DDR4 and ECC DDR4.
But the descriptions are quite hard to understand, and they are apparently quite picky about which RAM will work with them.I could get a combo of that motherboard with 2 Intel Xeon E5-2680 V4 CPUs (2.4GHz, 3.3GHz turbo, 28 cores, 56 threads in total) (hey, a dual CPU motherboard) for €120. And it’s got 8 RAM slots. So 32GB just with cheap 4GB sticks.

Did you mean kV? I don’t know if 40kHz is high enough, but I know at some point it doesn’t even shock anymore, just burns. Hence you can take a screwdriver in your hand, and get it close to high frequency Tesla coil / slayer exciter circuit (not that I know the difference) and have it flow through you no problem, just if you touch the spark directly it burns.
