Anything using vanguard such as valorant and league of legends, battleye such as pubg, destiny 2, and rainbow 6 siege, and easy anti cheat such as fortnight blocks virtual machines. Vanguard is especially bad because it will not allow to run the game with Intel-VT/AMD-V enabled even if you are running bare metal as of its last update.
I think the safe option would be to use a smart UPS and Network UPS Tools to shutdown the LLM virtual machine when it’s running on battery. I do something similar with my NAS as it’s running on an older dell R510 so when the UPS goes onto battery it’ll safely shut down that whole machine to extend how long my networking gear will stay powered.
For 12k a month just the DDoS protection would be worth it for a site of that nature and size but they also get CDN access with full control over the caching, and a web application firewall.
The way I see it the casino was trying to plate share at a buffet and got caught so now they are complaining about having to pay the correct amount.
I’d like to point out for those who aren’t in the weeds of silicon architecture, ‘embarrassingly parellel’ is the a type of computation work flow. It’s just named that because the solution was an embarrassingly easy one.
Any ERP like odoo can do this and with odoo you can even make maintenance reminders. Just remember they are business software so you have to look through that lens.
Maybe for those audio engineerings who end up on the mastering side of things but those who go down the live sound systems engineer path definitely deserves the same level of respect as any other engineering profession.
Kenya give me a hint on what the joke is?
The classic choice would be fractal design’s node 304 which fits six 3.5" drive in an ITX form factor. There’s also Silverstone’s CS381 which while being larger can fit eight hotswappable 3.5" drives and a micro atx motherboard.
Even if you go ITX you don’t have to feel limited by the lack of PCIe slots. Since m.2 uses the PCIe protocol it’s very easy to adapt it to your needs such as to an additional PCIe 4x slot. There are even m.2 10GBe cards in both intel and Realtek flavors.
Side question, what coral TPU do you have because it was my understanding that they use m.2, mini pcie, or USB and not the full size pcie slot?
I’d say replace your current server with a larger one that can pull double duty as a NAS and VM host. There are plenty of SFF nas cases on the market now.
Honestly you should just bypass dells management software and use NUT. It supports your UPS’s management card if you enable SNMP or you can bypass it all together and just run off of the USB/serial.
I’m pretty surprised I can run my whole network for an hour off of my 1500va UPS with three switches and a handful of POE devices. I’m still thinking about replacing it with a rack mount unit so i can lock it inside my rack as I’ve been having issues with unauthorized people messing with it.
