Have you tried not being poor?

But that’s a good board!

idk man I just work here

If it has constant power, skip all the zwave and zigbee stuff. I landed on Lutton Caseta Diva dimmers. My thermostat is a Honeywell T9.

If it doesn’t have constant power, skip that too 😁

The dimmers use a hub. A concession I was willing to make for the 100% reliability the system brings

The thermostat is WiFi, and I have it blocked from the Internet in my router.

I think people have the right to do that conditionally

Who am I to decide what my money is spent on?

I’ve never seen a premium brand charger that wasn’t absolutely stuffed with components on one side. They’re always trying to shrink them, and all that real estate on the board is wasted.

It’s not 5x capable, is my point.

About 10 of those VMs are running a single docker image. It runs great but I know better now.

My 7700x is 5 times that wattage. Granted, it gas 128gb, a380, 4 hdd, 2 SSD, 40gb nic, tpu, and 25 VMs running on it.

The lesson here is that I’ve way over-spec’d my machine.

$650 for the box leaves you $350 for drives and a 10Gb NIC. I’ve been using serverpartdeals refub drives with good results. They’re ~$10/tb.

I think the N100 type CPUs are limited on PCIe lanes. You end up with less nvme, less sata, and usually no slots.

You can find x570 am4 boards for less than $100 now. Two nvme, 8 sata, 2 big slots and 2 small.

But all of that flexibility and expandability is going to cost you in power. My 7700x w/A380, 3 hdd is 125 watts 24/7. $10 a month on my power bill. I think those n100 mini PCs only have a 35w brick and idle at less than 15w.

I’ve got 4 Omada APs and a virtual controller. There was a bug I experienced where a Google home mini could initiate a broadcast storm. TP-Link got me in touch with engineers very quickly and they fixed the bug in less than a week.

That’s their goal

There’s almost always a subframe, and where it bolts to the car is my go-to jack point. Bolt #2 would get it.

Do the devices have dual 10g ports each? You can build a triangle out of them.
