@david .. older enterprise Ultra Small Desk Top PC's (usdt) dime a dozen from ebay, maybe flea markets pc's are your likely go.

I've a repurposed Optiplex 3060 i7 8700T, micro desktop,, but sata m.2 not nvme, 1 additional sata port doing a 2.5ssd.

plenty of HP Elite Mini pc's too, they call their offerings USFF. Its happily running a #Joyent (#opensolaris derivative OS)

I guess if you climb the model scale a bit, downgrade to i3, or go a bit newer, you'll find nvme, prices are growing because DDR4 SODIMM's are rarer now. so 'Cheap' is relative.

I had to spring for some new, after oem DIMM fried. Cost me $150 for 2x no name 16gb 3200 Dual rank DIMM's. Want play with zones (jails), so I paid.

Focus on the ram size to what you want first, parts vendors are up selling DRR4 for outrageous money when compared to DDR5. It's reflecting in the secondhand PC market pricing at the moment, so don't forget to memtest86 it when it arrives if second hand.

It has arrived! The best t-shirt ever, bar none.

Thanks so much @brbennett!

This one definitely belongs in the treasured collection, along with some Sun Microsystems and BBC Internet Services ones.

In my morning revisit of days in the past, I found these in a folder of snapshots from San Francisco. I was there for work and posted two photos from the day but in hindsight, I like these as well.

Their DNS delegation is to a.joyent.name. and b.joyent.name.

Neither responds. Their addresses are 64.30.138.21 and 64.30.138.22 from JOYENT-IAD001-01.

So maybe a DC outage?

pkgsrc.joyent.com and joyent.com down? Just for me?

Wishing someone had ripped off #joyent / #mnx manta so I could just grep a few months worth of logs for this post-incident retrospective.

"status.net is a new microblogging service that lets anyone set up their own microblogging site, based on Laconica’s functionality. Clients can make private microblogging networks for use by a company or community, or public ones that interface with Twitter, Facebook, and other Laconica-based sites. Control Yourself is accepting applications from enterprises, marketing and publishing organizations, and Web communities to participate in their beta program for the platform they call “status-as-a-service.”

"Users can post short messages about themselves to Identi.ca, which are then broadcast to friends in their social network using instant messages (IM), RSS feeds, and the Web."

"OStatus enables different microblogging server implementations to route status updates between their users back-and-forth, in near real-time. OStatus federation was first possible between Laconica/StatusNet installations, such as Status.net and Identi.ca"

Still one of the best talks I've ever seen on the union of #software #engineering and #hardware - it's honestly amazing that most hardware works as reliably as it does. Bryan's personality also keeps this fun ;)

Have a look here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fE2KDzZaxvE

Having been on the other side of this problem (the #software side) I can confirm what we often see as #random / unstable behaviour is often locked deep inside #firmware.

@david while we have concluded raidz is not to blame here, I figured it may be worth mentioning that I did a talk on this work while at #Joyent.

Contrary to what I predicted back then, today’s NVMe SSDs pretty much all present as 512n, not as 4Kn.

@arteteco p.s. no, def not mad. I currently have a server right now in AWS. I've been meaning to switch for a while with all the news about Amazon's labor practices, but haven't had the time with other things going on. I really need to prioritize it now though.

I am looking at several great options I've tried.
Joyent - https://joyent.com
is one...
Brian Cantrill (from #joyent) gave a great talk about principles within tech and specifically talks about Amazon and other modern companies.

Okay, #Joyent's cloud container setup with #SmartOS is fucking cool. Such a trip not seeing the overhead of init and various lower-level system details, cause it's just a beautiful low level #container on bare metal.

Hey Bryan Cantrill, stop making me absurdly interested in brilliant engineering that has nothing to do with my job title. This is dangerous territory

Also def moving over my internet things over here methinks
