Came to post the same. Seems like the most awkward possible way to phrase that.
Your “Disks not included” suggestion, or heck, just “empty” would surely be better.

Interestingly, looking at Gentoo’s package, they have both the github and tukaani.org URLs listed:
https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/blob/master/app-arch/xz-utils/xz-utils-5.6.1.ebuild#L28
From what I understand, those wouldn’t be the same tarball, and might have thrown an error.
11·6 months agoI too have an oddly specific one of these, which is tartare sauce.
I actively dislike all three of mayonnaise, gherkins, and capers. Mix 'em together though? Brilliant.
Sharp also make great commerical-grade printers that are 100% Linux compatible, we’re using these at work: http://global.sharp/products/copier/products/bp_70c65/index.html
They don’t really make anything small enough to be a “home” model, this looks like their smallest printer: https://global.sharp/products/copier/products/mx_c358f/index.html (and that’s around $1000, if you could even find someone to sell you one).
2·7 months agoWithout giving Amazon too much of the benefit of the doubt here, I’ve noticed they love to offer you “coupons”, generally with a midnight expiry.
I expect it’s 100% a tactic to get you to commit to something you’ve looked at a couple of times but might be on the fence about buying.
I get the same as OP’s logged-out price (nothing hidden) while logged in, perhaps if they are offering a coupon it would take it below the minimum advertised price.
Definitely stupid, but it’s the only way I can see of arriving at this situation.
17·9 months agoThe estimated training time for GPT-4 is 90 days though.
Assuming you could scale that linearly with the amount of hardware, you’d get it down to about 3.5 days. From four times a year to twice a week.
If you’re scrambling to get ahead of the competition, being able to iterate that quickly could very much be worth the money.
And spatulas. Don’t forget the spatulas.

2·9 months agoI’d be curious to see how much cooling a SAS HBA would get in there. Looking at Broadcom’s 8 external port offerings, the 9300-8e reports 14.5W typical power consumption, 9400-8e 9.5W, and 9500-8e only 6.1W. If you were considering one of these, definitely seems it’d be worth dropping the money on the newest model of HBA.
I’m definitely curious, would only personally need it to be NAS + Plex server for which either of the CPUs they’re offering is a bit overkill, but it’s nice that it fits a decent amount of RAM, and you’re not forced to choose between adding storage or networking.
Single-sided drives can be up to 4TB though, no?
Yes and no.
The original 2015 release (10240) has support from 2015 - 2025. The latest 2021 release (19044) 2021 - 2032.
The product as a whole has around 16.5 years of support from go to woah, but each individual release is supported for 10 - 11.
Free for personal use, so yes-ish. That’ll certainly be a deal-breaker for some.
Realistically, people who are using it for personal use would probably be upgrading to the next LTS shortly after it’s released (or in Ubuntu fashion, once the xxxx.yy.1 release is out). People who don’t qualify to be using it for free anyway are more likely to be the ones keeping the same version for >5 years.
To note: this appears to be a move from 5 years (standard, free) + 5 years (extended, paid) to 5+7. Users not paying Canonical aren’t getting anything different as to with prior LTS releases.
Standard free support for 24.04 is still 2024-04 through 2029-06.
3·9 months agoThere definitely are vendors ignoring common sense and putting socket SP5 on desktop boards.
No argument about the price, I think list on these is something like $13k USD.
Their top-of-the-range Epyc 9684X has 1152MB :)
See, and raise KDE Neon.
Ubuntu LTS base, but with up-to-date upstream KDE releases rather than the (typically) relatively ancient releases that Kubuntu has.
Really is the best of both worlds.
It was linked a little up thread, but since you’re (probably) referring to the “Space-cadet” keyboard, it was seven.
Technically, they drew a distinction between the “shift” keys (of which there were three), and the other modifiers (four).
In modern times (or for Linux at least), Meta has essentially coalesced with Alt, so the modifiers we’ve retained are Control, Alt, and Super (Windows), with only “Hyper” having been lost along the way.
The remaining two shifts (also lost to time) were “Top” (symbols) and “Front” (Greek), with the Greek supporting combining with shift (there’s a table on that Wiki page).
I was going to write a rebuttal. And then I decided that the “zero points” speech from Billy Madison will suffice.
Specs look good for the price, and those machine work great with Linux (I’m using Ubuntu 22.04 on the slightly earlier 9310 right now).
The only slight downside of the 9315 is that the SSD is soldered to the motherboard. Make sure you back up your data regularly, because there might be no way to get anything off the machine if it breaks.
There’s also something of a lack of IO; just one USB-C on each side (which is nice, because you can plug the charger into either side). But I have no issues with Bluetooth headphones, and monitors with USB-C have always worked great for plugging larger numbers of peripherals in.
Probably best to look at it as a competitor to a Xeon D system, rather than any full-size server.
We use a few of the Dell XR4000 at work (https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/ipovw/poweredge-xr4510c), as they’re small, low power, and able to be mounted in a 2-post comms rack.
Our CPU of choice there is the Xeon D-2776NT (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/226239/intel-xeon-d2776nt-processor-25m-cache-up-to-3-20-ghz/specifications.html), which features 16 cores @ 2.1GHz, 32 PCIe 4.0 lanes, and is rated 117W.
The ostensibly top of this range 4584PX, also with 16 cores but at double the clock speed, 28 PCIe 5.0 lanes, and 120W seems like it would be a perfectly fine drop-in replacement for that.
(I will note there is one significant difference that the Xeon does come with a built-in NIC; in this case the 4-port 25Gb “E823-C”, saving you space and PCIe lanes in your system)
As more PCIe 5.0 expansion options land, I’d expect the need for large quantities of PCIe to diminish somewhat. A 100Gb NIC would only require a x4 port, and even a x8 HBA could push more than 15GB/s. Indeed, if you compare the total possible PCIe throughput of those CPUs, 32x 4.0 is ~63GB/s, while 28x 5.0 gets you ~110GB/s.
Unfortunately, we’re now at the mercy of what server designs these wind up in. I have to say though, I fully expect it is going to be smaller designs marketed as “edge” compute, like that Dell system.
