  • What I do is two things

    • Go to the All view and block each community that has memes.
    • subscribe to commutes that you like.

    This ways, all your views are meme-free.

    Bonus tip for finding new commuties: create a new account and go to your All view. Every post you see, check if you like the community. If you like it, subscribe to it on your normal account and then block it on your new account. The new account works kind of like check off system. Each community that you made a decision on (subscribe or don’t care) will no longer be visible on the new account. This way, other communities that are smaller will also be revealed.









  • I do not agree with that.

    • A PSU is the maximum what all the components combined are allowed to use. No more power than that is possible. If a system needs more than it’s PSU can deliver, it will become unstable (data loss, random restarts, etc.)

    • The 2x750 is a redundant setup that servers have. Servers need to be able to run 24/7. With redundant PSU if one PSU has a failure, the other PSU will take over. Without any restarts. You can just pull the plug out of one of the PSU and all is just fine.

    • I do agree with you that the max wattage is under load. Most home servers are running idle most of the time anyway.



  • Why not check online for each component for its max watt?

    AMD FX8350 is 125W max Xeon E5645 is 80W max

    Then the only difference is the motherboard, right?

    And also, the Xeon has integrated graphics but the amd does not. If you will let the amd do a lot of things with video, it needs a video card or else the cpu will need to do all of that. On the other hand, if the machine main task is to for example render videos, an integrated GPU in the Cpu will not get you far either…


  • I’m using a simple cheap usb switcher (Aten 2 x 4 USB 2.0 Switch). I have connected a mouse, keyboard, card reader. One machine is connect to the monitor via hdmi and the other via display port. I simply switch video via the buttons on the monitor. The third machine is a laptop that is not connected to the monitor.

    A dedicated KVM would be a better option but I’m not willing to spend that much money.
