  • No, mSATA looks like m.2 but is functionally different, using SATA data not PCIe.

    If you’re using some m.2 to RJ45 adapter, I’m guessing you’re limited to the 1Gbs RJ45 bandwidth regardless of the card’s technology, unless your Ethernet is 2.5Gb or something faster.

    Even if your m.2 PCIe devices support greater speeds, the adapter itself might have “USB 2.0-like” throughput.

    Best bet it you’re looking to add PCIe devices to a supermicro motherboard, buy a m.2 PCIe expansion card to achieve this so you can natively utilize PCIe lanes for the best bandwidth whether it’s WiFi, storage, etc.

    Edit: I realize you said additional sata ports which they have PCIe SATA expansion boards too.












  • I’m late to the party, but could everyone answer me this- how often does you’re public IP actually change with any of your ISPs??

    With the numerous companies I’ve used, the ONLY time I’ve ever seen my IP change is getting a new modem through, say, Comcast or whoever. It goes by MAC address, and if you use Comcast and then set to bridge mode and use your own device, that’s a new MAC so you’d get a new public IP. Swap ISPs obviously a new IP.

    I’ve NEVER randomly received a new IP when using the same equipment consistently, so I’m not sure why everyone’s so worried about dynamic DNS stuff… Maybe outside the US is different? I’ve lived in a few States and it’s always the same. If you make a hardware change, just note you should also double check your IP and update it, that’s all.

    It’s roughly split in OS in US. I fell most security conscious users are android users. Sold might initially give slightly better initial privacy, android is far more customizable to the point there’s no contest.

    Plus, I buy my phones outright so I’m not stuck with a $1000+ phone in a contract or subsidized phone plan making payments.


  • Docker makes sense for several applications, but there’s no intuition unless you’re good at memorizing commands/command lines. I can’t just open up an installer or fumble through it decently well enough to get up and running.

    While a UI does add overhead, done well it’s not bad. But also, different people learn different styles, and for the extra bit of resources, I’m willing to sacrifice a few MB ram or CPU utilization for less tinker time. However, 20 years ago I didn’t mind spending that time learning stuff like that because I had a lot more time and way less commitments!
