I recently removed my 25Gbps PCIe dual port cards from my 2 servers because they were using 20W more. My entire rack including 2 UniFi PoE connections uses 90 W now (so 110 W just for having 25 Gpbs).
There is some heat from such cards, but usually it gets transported outside fine. The ones I bought did not come with a fan. I think you cannot operate them without one. The heat sinks get very hot.

I’ve been using FreeBSD for 20 years on my desktop. I’ve been also mainly using it because I was literally afraid of using Linux filesystems for data storage, when I learned how ZFS works.
Now with bcachefs the situation is different. It’s nice to see an advanced filesystem on Linux, even it’s still beta. I migrated my desktop to Linux, but will keep FreeBSD on my servers for a while, because it’s less hassle for me.
Actually I stopped liking the FreeBSD community. They made a lot of drama in the past years and I stopped being active there. I haven’t reported bugs anymore and fixed them privately or reported directly to upstream. I have many nice things running on servers, but I’m thinking about moving to Debian entirely.
You don’t want it until something fails. SystemD often doesn’t let you log in to fix it. It just shows a “infinitely bouncing asterisk” and hopes it will magically get better.
I had numerous situations where systemd didn’t let me abort a hanging service startup during boot or stop during shutdown.
So what do I do now, systemd? Wait till infinity??
That never happened while using other init systems. Because they simply fail properly (“sorry I did my best to stop this, I needed a SIGKILL finally”). Or simply let me log in: “sorry, some services failed to start and now it’s a huge mess, but at least you can log in and fix it.”.
You forgot: use as many dependencies as you need. For example, my init system does not use xz-utils.
To keep the system simple and transparent.
Did you use iperf? It makes sure that HDD/SSD is not the bottleneck.
You can also check the statistics and watch for uncommon errors. Or trace the connection with tcpdump.
Yep. Unreal Tournament was also great and Neverwinter Nights.
The only problem is sync across devices. There are not many good options. Maybe it’ll get better with DB support later.
Maybe it’s not what you want to hear, but I was looking these types of apps, too, some time ago.
Then I noticed that most of the apps are useless for me and found an interesting type of apps that implement a “second brain”. There are a few of them, but I chose Logseq.
Any errors on the interfaces? Does tcpdump show something interesting? What do the system logs say?
Is there anything like Xmonad for Wayland?
Logseq is great. It’s still in early development. Only sync is not so great. I use Git and wrote two scripts (pull/push) for Android which I start manually. The desktop application is very powerful and extensible. The app only supports the most common features without any plugin support.
It’s also pretty great if you’re able to code.
I’ve been updating Nextcloud in-place (manually) for multiple major versions without any flaws. What is the problem?
Stable is for servers, unstable for desktop. It has worked for 20 years. I actually installed two further Debian workstations recently after trying and failing with Kubuntu. So … no, I don’t have this problem.
No idea why busybox is needed. Is this is your emergency boot environment like initramfs? Sometimes it’s nice that Linux boots up and offers an environment to fix stuff while some modules are broken.
