And spatulas. Don't forget the spatulas.

I'd be curious to see how much cooling a SAS HBA would get in there. Looking at Broadcom's 8 external port offerings, the 9300-8e reports 14.5W typical power consumption, 9400-8e 9.5W, and 9500-8e only 6.1W. If you were considering one of these, definitely seems it'd be worth dropping the money on the newest model of HBA.

I'm definitely curious, would only personally need it to be NAS + Plex server for which either of the CPUs they're offering is a bit overkill, but it's nice that it fits a decent amount of RAM, and you're not forced to choose between adding storage or networking.

Single-sided drives can be up to 4TB though, no?

Yes and no.

The original 2015 release (10240) has support from 2015 - 2025. The latest 2021 release (19044) 2021 - 2032.

The product as a whole has around 16.5 years of support from go to woah, but each individual release is supported for 10 - 11.

Free for personal use, so yes-ish. That'll certainly be a deal-breaker for some.

Realistically, people who are using it for personal use would probably be upgrading to the next LTS shortly after it's released (or in Ubuntu fashion, once the xxxx.yy.1 release is out). People who don't qualify to be using it for free anyway are more likely to be the ones keeping the same version for >5 years.

To note: this appears to be a move from 5 years (standard, free) + 5 years (extended, paid) to 5+7. Users not paying Canonical aren't getting anything different as to with prior LTS releases.

Standard free support for 24.04 is still 2024-04 through 2029-06.

There definitely are vendors ignoring common sense and putting socket SP5 on desktop boards.

No argument about the price, I think list on these is something like $13k USD.

Their top-of-the-range Epyc 9684X has 1152MB :)

See, and raise KDE Neon.

Ubuntu LTS base, but with up-to-date upstream KDE releases rather than the (typically) relatively ancient releases that Kubuntu has.

Really is the best of both worlds.

It was linked a little up thread, but since you're (probably) referring to the "Space-cadet" keyboard, it was seven.

Technically, they drew a distinction between the "shift" keys (of which there were three), and the other modifiers (four).

In modern times (or for Linux at least), Meta has essentially coalesced with Alt, so the modifiers we've retained are Control, Alt, and Super (Windows), with only "Hyper" having been lost along the way.

The remaining two shifts (also lost to time) were "Top" (symbols) and "Front" (Greek), with the Greek supporting combining with shift (there's a table on that Wiki page).

p is stored in the balls...

I was going to write a rebuttal. And then I decided that the "zero points" speech from Billy Madison will suffice.
