well…its a hit or miss, i recently just got lucky with 2 16tb drives i got for 400, it probably came from a chinese chia server or some shit idk, but i did basic checks like SMART and they seem fine. I had my rx580 years ago also probably from a mining data center.

My logic and xp with these used “enterprise” stuff is that they are definitely used but not as abused like being OCed, etc. because they are optimized to run for a long time unless they are being decomissioned.

after finding out that palantir has been milking military contracts, they also decided to jump in the bandwagon …sighs what a sickass world

the usual, nvidia being a dick made it hard to properly run vulkan on their older cards using linux, then mesa3d went like “you know what? we’ll do it ourselves” and now we’re here.

if you’re running on base lmint (not de), you may try updating your kernel to latest one (whatever ubuntu’s currently being supported) by using ubuntu mainline kernel heres the guide

make sure you have backed up, enabled timeshift or whatever because this may break your system.

go custom build with xpenology and go full psycho by breaking something then ask for support ticket from synology

most are still stuck to ipv4 and being NATted to oblivion, instead of adopting newer ipv6

they know nvidias very slowly dying and playing some damage control, they’re trying to be like apple using an open source system then making a closed ecosystem out of it.
