Fuck it ordered some AMD kit, I'll sell the intel + mobo once it's replaced by them.

Can't carry on with a system slowly dying just too bloody busy

@oleksandr sir will look like a spendthrift if sir does.

But perhaps sir is beyond not being seen as that at this point

@pony @ljs Unlikely, I'm an AMD user myself.

@oleksandr @pony nah it's a 9950X.

Apparently rather good kernel times

@oleksandr @pony and yes I have read/heard that it's only a small % above the last model and don't amd always do that and yada yada.

The price is not that different from the prev gen so meh

@ljs well I can't blame you I'd have done the same. Especially if your workload triggers it so often, it's a pain.

@mathieu today it's much worse I think it's on the verge of collapse tbh.

Has been giving me internal compiler errors on every build to the point that all my scripts have $(($(nproc) - 1)) in them now :)) but that doesn't work either now so yeah.

The MCE errors were far rarer but now constant if I do kernel builds so... like that's my job you know so yeah.

@lkundrak @ljs @oleksandr @pony FWIW I've never had any such issues with z16 processors…

@ljs @oleksandr @pony I sold my i9-13900k desktop three weeks ago. Plan is to get something new, and 9950X would be an option but I've trying to check if there would be some decent(ish) desktop level ARM option available. There's some pretty powerful ARM CPU's for laptops but I don't much about the desktop market. Up until that surviving with X1 ThinkPad :-) ARM tickles me mainly to get more experience with that ISA...

@jarkko @oleksandr @pony x86 incomparable for grunt work though. Doubtful arm can compete at this point on that

@ptesarik @lkundrak @ljs @pony That's because when one of the z16 blocks fails, an IBM technician secretly slips in, replaces it and wanders into eternity with no downtime caused so that you just don't see the failure.

@pony @oleksandr @ljs You mean me? This is my Mac mini. Ok you got me, it's an ARM desktop ;-) But something with more power, cores and at minimum 64 GB of memory (that said I have the heftiest M2 Pro 12-core CPU with 32 GB, which is not too bad when compiling in Asahi Linux).

@jarkko @pony @oleksandr yeah I am no fan of that project and will not elaborate because I'm SO tired of it.

If you want to use it that's up to you. I _was_ a user so I'm aware of apple silicon. But my point stands.

@ljs @oleksandr @pony Yeah, so I would rather run just macOS on this, and get something having none of Apple software inside. This is just my leisure time machine :-) Not even looking it from benchmarking angle but more like fun and learning something new... Using it now as I'm keeping today off from work :-)
