They all have to work (at least to an extent) using only x1. It’s part of the PCIe spec.
Missing pins are actually extremely common. If your board has a slot that’s x16 (electrically x8), which is very common for a second video card, take a closer look. Half the pins in the slot aren’t connected. It has the full slot to make you feel better about it, and it provides some mounting stability, but it’s electrically the same as an x8 that’s open.
USB the protocol, or just uses a USB cable? If it’s not using the protocol, the cables are a cheap way of getting cables of a certain spec.
This can get a bit complicated with federation. This community is hosted on LW. I am accessing it via sopuli.xyz, and you via feddit.uk. All (presumably) have full bidirectional federation with each other.
When I hit send, this message will go to Sopuli’s outbox, which will then sync to LW for this community. At that point, this post will live on LW’s servers. Anyone accessing LW directly can see it, even if Sopuli were to go down. Later (probably less than a minute), LW will sync to Feddit.uk, at which point you will be able to see it.
Note that this is for text posts only. There have been some changes around images and video, both for bandwidth and liability reasons.
That said, I didn’t check the compatibility of your selected SR transceiver against your NICs and switch, so I’ll presume you’ve done your homework for that.
This is the part that’s making me the most nervous. Even when I can find a compatibility list, they only refer to obscure first-party transceivers that I can’t find (or cost an absurd amount). But from what I have gathered, SFP+ is perfectly standardized, and it’s only the lockout code preventing you from using any transceiver on the market.
I couldn’t even tell if there’s a difference (beyond basic spec compatibility, like 1G vs 10g, SR MMF vs LR, etc) between the expensive ones over the cheap generics. There must be some differences, because I see multiple models that look otherwise identical. Unless they’re just aesthetics/date indicators, which is always a possibility.
Not especially long, at least not at this time. I need about 13m end-to-end for my current plan.
Hipshipper, an international shipping platform used by eBay, Shopify and Amazon sellers, has exposed millions of shipping labels, revealing personal customer data.
Researchers believe that the data stored on the exposed bucket included buyers’ personal details, such as:
It’s my understanding that the vendor branding on FS transceivers is just a string to match what the vendor’s lockout code is looking for. Since Mikrotik doesn’t do that, I went with Ubiquiti in case I decide to move to that in the future.
Fortunately, the fiber will mostly be running through an unfinished basement. I previously tried to run smurf tube behind finished wall, and it was much harder than it sounded. It’s hard to drill a hole that big, things didn’t line up, and parts of it involved extremely tight quarters. I would contract it out before I’d try it again.
Thanks for the quick reply. The available x4 slots are all physically x16, but electrically x4.
While my use case today is pretty narrow, I’d rather not mess with the custom network settings to make it all cooperate on an otherwise completely flat network. The file server is running Ubuntu, and the desktop is currently running VMware ESXi. In the future, I expect to replace it with something else. I did verify that it lists the Intel network chipset on the HCL.
Unfortunately, that seems to be about local communities, which aren’t really important. In fact, due to federation, that’s the least important aspect of an instance.
By default, Lemmy is wide open to anything and everything. You need to see what they have turned off/blocked/removed, to see if it’s what you want.
Many (most?) instances do block porn. Aside from liability concerns, porn tends to be high bandwidth, meaning high costs to operate. As such, there are a handful of VERY NSFW instances that aren’t well-federated.
Of course, it depends on how you define porn. I see a ton of suggestive (but not outright pornographic) anime when I browse All/New, but very little of actual naked humans.
I post this every time someone is looking for “free speech”, and it has been completely relevant every single time.
The odds of you getting your own IPv4 address are pretty low, unless seedboxes have very different rules than I’d expect. Presumably you have a shared IP behind NAT, and they forward ports (not unlike a good VPN)
In that case, they would need the IP address, incoming port, and a very specific timestamp.
This is almost always relevant as soon as someone complains about free speech, censorship, etc:
Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t most of them available as containers? Why would you need any hypervisor support beyond containers?
That’s… Not how this works.
The powers that be only look at a few charts, and a few data points on each.
The big one is sales over time, possibly broken down to gross vs net revenue (i.e. profit)
The next will be the amount that customers use AI. Could be a binary “interacted at all”, measured in interactions, or by time.
The final MIGHT be % of interactions that led to a sale.
The ONLY way to fight AI (or anything else that corporations do that you object to) is to stop or reduce buying from places that use it.
90s middle school: same urban legend, except it was 1 gallon from Gwen Stefani.
Van Halen’s road crew confirmed that. They also confirmed that, without exception, if the M&Ms were wrong, there were other major problems. And when I say major, it’s on the level of “people would have died” if they had continued with the show.
There’s only a single decent quality video of the first plane on 9/11. Because in a city of millions of people, only 1 person in the area was recording at the time.
I can’t even imagine how many videos there would be if it happened today.
There’s something that everyone should keep in mind with this announcement. Due to the nature of federation and the fediverse, it can ONLY apply to lemmy.world. Users and communities on other instances can, do, and will continue to have their own policies on the matter.
Expect the tankie and fascist instances to keep doing tankie and fascist shit, and very little has changed in that regard. They still have the same risk of defederation, even if the chances have inched up slightly.
Thinkpads are extremely well documented. For how to repair/replace parts, you need the HMM. Just Google for “Thinkpad t14 Gen 1 HMM” and you should find the official PDF on their site. That will tell you, step by step, how to replace the keyboard.
As for the part itself, you can again check Lenovo’s site for all compatible parts (FRUs) and find the item number and details. While I wouldn’t recommend buying directly from them due to cost, this should give you the information needed to find it elsewhere. eBay has tons of Thinkpads being sold for parts, and many of these will be parted out. You should have no issues finding what you’re looking for.
