  • The guides, basically a quick and dirty walkthrough on setting it up, hopefully a few explanations about things, and a handful of common troubleshooting tips. Also pointers to a handful of communities that have helpful info in case something obscure pops up.

    Basically, teach a man how to fish, as opposed to giving him a couple.

    I think a lot of people who would otherwise dabble with a DIY home server never try because it’s pretty technical (beyond typical ‘build a pc’ stuff) so I think the education that would come with the hardware would be appreciated by many. Help them get their foot in the door by making the dive a little less scary. Nothing too over the top but point them to the places where people hang out discussing the more technical crap for when that day comes






  • It adds liquidity and that does more good than bad for everyone, whether you’re a retail investor looking to enter or exit a position without facing a hefty ‘tax’ from a wide bid-ask spread, or you’re managing an ETF and need to dump 300k shares of something while rebalancing.

    Without HFT a lot of tickers would look like options and futures contracts - no volume, wide spreads, and rife with abuse from people walking orders up and down

    Does your adapter happen to have a PLX chip? Those are designed for this very specific use case. The adapter is designed to run on 8 lanes and the PLX chip handles the rest, so GPU in one slot and adapter (with PLX chip) in another slot, x8/x8 biggity bam. Right now you’re tryinf to run it x8 and those 8 lanes are just going straight to 2x M.2 as x4/x4, but PLX would divvy it all up essentially 4x M.2 at x2/x2/x2/x2, that kinda thing. If this adapter doesn’t have it and you can’t get this to work, and you’re willing to blow another hundred bucks, that other kind of adapter would def work.

    Without knowing your motherboard I’d def download the manual and ctrl+f some promising keywords such as ‘bifurcation’ or ‘PCI’ and basically hunt for anything in the manual that describes settings to enable this. Sometimes on a 3 slot board the bottom ‘chipset’ slot can be toggled to run something different than PCH, like some other controller.

    I’d also try running the adapter in every possible configuration, on the most current supported PCI-E standards and a previous generation if motherboard allows, ie: adapter top slot, GPU middle slot, GPU top slot, adapter 3rd slot (if mobo has one), disable PCI-E 4.0 or enable 3.0 each time just to see if some configuration works (kinda tedious but costs 0 dollars so why not)

    With a 10% rate of return money doubles every 7 years, rule of 72. With wages being pretty damn flat eventually people won’t be able to afford things on income but on wealth because that’s the only thing that’s tracking alongside property valuations. Edit: basically peak capitalism
