    Xeons 8461V/6338, EPYC 7R13, AWS Graviton tested by minio on erasure encoding perf

    https://blog.min.io/erasure-coding-cpu-utilization/ Seems the intel chips are rather performant here where I was thinking the AMD parts would walk away with this test.

    PSA: sff pc router running pfsense 2.6.0 powerd at full power to prevent connectivity issues

    basically @BlueFox sold me this: https://cdn-docs.av-iq.com/dataSheet/XK-FLX.pdf and while I was leery about going with REALTEK nics and after disabling all hardware offloads I was still having issues where for seemingly no reason connectivity would die. On a whim I found an option to enable...

    learning networking

    How does one go about learning about networking? I can create VMs. So if I have to do so to mock a network I will. I don't necessarily want to learn the ins and outs of a specific router or router OS but the more higher level stuff like vlans, overlay networks, the basics of routing, what's a...

    I am still here just lurking

    I've been working for almost a year now as a data engineer. It's the best job I have ever had. We do a ton of stuff on cloud.

    My goal is to consolidate a few boxes onto one -- none are mission critical really so if the VM host I want to migrate them to goes down and takes them too then that's ok.
