They have been making their own x86 knock-offs for a while now, but not at the same scale as the “regular” - i.e. they’d been doing it at 14nm or so, so less efficient.
I don’t know if they have better fab process since then, and for how big a scale.
You could just block most of the internet services - gmail, youtube, facebook etc under these rules, and then wreak havoc. I bet they’d roll back these laws in record time if someone pushed them to the limits :/
I mean, often enough even that phone call won’t help.
But you’re right, as long as everything is working normally, working on premises slows you down to do maintenance, updates etc etc. Cloud (of all kinds) takes that work away and you can work faster. And in the VC-driven daily and eternal grind, moving faster is the only thing that matters.
yeah, traceroute might hint at that, if this is what is going on.
That still doesn’t look like a very heavy workload. My older box was older then your 6700k and was fine running such stuff.
Perhaps your limit isn’t the CPU. What storage and ram setup do you have, did you look at that?
I’ll be honest and say that when I replaced my old crap with 7900x I did feel improvements on occasion, mostly when I really burden the pc. Plus I think having 64 gigs of ram helps there, at my old system I hit the limits sometimes. Not often, but sometimes. Now my new box just laughs at anything I try to do to it.
I plan to try the OpenMediaVault first. For my use - a lot less for services and dynamic changes and a lot more for sitting in the closet quietly - it’s good enough. And I can still dig into the internals if I wanted to.
And with OMV I can also teach my non-techy wife and kids how to add themselves more disk space :)
Now that they have their own Putin, why not?
