My Biggest Server Rack Change Yet
Added 2023-03-29 20:59:12 +0000 UTCWhat better way to spice up your server rack than retiring a $3000 Epyc CPU and replacing it with two Intel Tiger Lake 11900H mobile chip engineering samples. Today I set out to restructure my entire server, not only trying to boost performance and network speeds, but reduce power consumption, and in turn... my power bill.
But first, what am I drinking!?
Mixology March is winding down, and I'm running out of time for projects. So I'm just drinking a cranberry juice today.

If you can't visualize in Prox, how do you get a P4 to work in Windows without vGPU, or can you only pass the P4 to one VM in prox? I'd love to use Prox if possible, but will do whatever to get this to work! Low power home lab is my interest. Sorry, I'm still a bit new to Linux/Proxmox and a total newbie to the Tesla's. You are doing some neat stuff, and that's why I became a Patreon member! Erying MB ordered, used your links in the description (hoping you get a kickback!). Super excited, thank you!
