00:33 < Evilpig> on a scale from 1 to a bare chested hug with corydon.  How sketchy is this?  https://www.ebay.com/itm/175425641567

06:06 <@Mirage> Pretty much guaranteed to be knock-offs
10:24 < Evilpig> They're also used.  I was leaning toward the market getting flooded by bitcoin miners getting rid of stuff

14:49 <@Dagmar> I feel kinda bad that I had to give Decius shit about one of his alarm clocks being an hour off.
14:50 <@Dagmar> He's an executive at IBM now.  What's he doing relying on a clock that still requires manual intervention on the regular to remain accurate?
16:08 < Evilpig> that type doesn't typically screw up when the power goes out
16:09 < Evilpig> or internet is out
16:09 < Evilpig> wtf is he doing with ibm now?
16:09 <@Dagmar> If the power has gone out long enough for my phone to not go off at the appointed time, things are fucked enough that I might as well just stay in bed
18:53 <@Dagmar> Frankly I think you'd be better off with a Ryzen 7 than that EPYC
18:53 <@Dagmar> It looks like those eBay listings are for used equipment anyway
19:15 < Evilpig> thinking I might roll the dice on it.  The straight upgrade on it to me would be massive.  https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/3215vs1249/AMD-EPYC-7551P-vs-Intel-Xeon-E5620

19:16 < Evilpig> going from a dual xeon e560 to that dual epyc  would take my proxmox system from 16 threads to 64 and from 96GB of ram to 256GB
19:17 < Evilpig> actually i guess that would be 128 threads.  dual 32 core would be 64 threads each
19:17 < Evilpig> the cpuscore jump alone is 10 times.   I was looking at some of these micro form factor system like I have on my desk for work but they top out at 64GB of ram
19:37 < Evilpig> nm that is a single proc.  still 4 time sthe number of threads than my current virthost
19:42 < Evilpig> looking at the specs I think my current case and power supply would do fine for this.  that h11 needs a 24, 8 and 4 pin.  the current board I have in there has two 8's and a 24.  i'm sure one or both of those 8's have the old style split connector end
19:51 <@Dagmar> Oh... you were runnign a Xeon
19:51 < Evilpig> am running
19:51 < Evilpig> lol

19:55 < Evilpig> Honestly it's still a good case, and the power supply is the super quiet variety that they made.
19:58 <@Dagmar> DDR3? .. at 1333Mhz?
