And I installed Linux. And it’s awesome.

EDIT: yes, the GPU was a bit tilted. Fixed it now!

My server has 156GB RAM and I don’t think I’ll ever hit 8GB usage hahaha

[-] MrGeekman@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

8GB

My server has 8GB of RAM and it rarely even gets up to 4GB of actual RAM usage.

I have no sense of scale yet hahaha. My only server is a 4GB RPI 4 B!

[-] MrGeekman@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Which server were you talking about when you said your server has 156GB of RAM?

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I’ve got a GSA gifted to me by a friend, and he filled it to max with RAM beforehand, and flashed the BIOS with regular… Dell? BIOS?

It’s The Cheat from Homestar that I had to get a buncha SAS drives for. I didn’t know they were a thing.

It’s unfathomably gigantic and heavy, but I guess it has a couple processors and a ton of RAM!

(Also love your handle)

Edit: oh shit it’s also got two PSUs for whatever raisin hahaha

It’ll boot faster if you take some out.

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

Noted! I haven’t got it set up yet. I have all the hard drives and stuff, but I haven’t been motivated lately. :c

Plus, once I have UNRAID going, ideally it will almost never need to boot!

[-] eeleech@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

I personally would not take it out, "unused" RAM will be used by the OS as e.g. disk cache, or you could have a fairly large ramdisk.

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

I see! I’m very extremely new to this! Insofar I’ve only got some RPi machines set up, I don’t yet know anything about UNRAID or big servers.
