Huge surge in demand

I have 32 RTX 5090s on vast, were seeing a huge surge in demand and I just noticed everyone is running BIP39 on every single one of our GPUs. I looked up what BIP39 is and had a crazy thought, are we powering a coordinated coldcard recovery operation? If so that would be freaking awesome.

12v fed to 3.3v on gigabyte gaming OC 5090

Plugged brand new gigabyte gaming OC 5090 into a defective riser card that was supplying 12v to the 3.3v PCIe pins, let the smoke out of this qfn chip. The card still comes up and functionals but temps. Wattage reporting and fans don't work. Does anyone know the markings on this qfn so I can replace it?

I missed ifconfig, so I built a netplan front end. npconfig

I wrote npconfig, an ifconfigstyle front end for Netplan

I found myself missing the simplicity of ifconfig for quick network configuration so I wrote npconfig, a command-line utility that configures Netplan using commands that feel much more like the old ifconfig workflow. I also added a curses style menu driven option so there are two modes of operation.

Some features so far:

  • DHCP or static IPv4 configuration
  • Interface up/down
  • Interface status
  • Text UI for headless servers
  • Generates Netplan YAML automatically
  • Supports systemd-networkd

It's open source:

https://github.com/TwistedDiesel/npconfig

It's still under active development, so I'd really appreciate feedback, feature requests, or bug reports.

And yes... I use Cursor quite a bit. 😄

12VHPWR danger!

So I bought a thermal camera a while back and decided to check out my server with it and boy am I glad I did, one of the 12VHPWR connectors is only supplying power on two conductors. Each of the two wires is supplying 18 amps at my power cap of 450w, I've been running it like this for a while with no visible connector damage yet but that doesn't mean it's ok. Here's a few photos of the cables.

Finally found where I fit in!

Been running this rig for about a year now, built it before the price surge on ram and GPUs. 7970x, TRX50, 256gb DDR5 6000, 4x RTX 5090 with bykski water blocks, nEXT CPU block, PMP 500, external 12x18 radiator to put the heat outdoors. 1600w superflower PSU, 2x 2000w crps with c-payne dual crps breakout board for total of 5600w. I plan on building a base to set the PC case one that will hold more GPUs on a PCIe switch backplane in the future. I'm still getting 5090s for 2k each so I can do things that otherwise wouldn't make sense. This thing currently runs 70b models so fast it kicks commercial ai subscriptions ass.
