I know a there are a lot of issues with self-hosting email, but I just don't thing this is one of them. First, it probably won't affect a self-hosted servers anyway unless you send a lot of emails, this requirement is only for servers sending 5,000 messages daily to Gmail. And even if you are, the requirements are not that harsh, it's a couple DNS records and a DKIM signing daemon, and if you are using a pre-build email package like mailcow it's probably already doing it.

Thanks for the detailed reply. I found a QSFP+ DAC that says it supports IB and Ethernet.
I don't have enough computers to set up a fabric, only the 2 I would be direct attaching have PCIE slots.

I've never used infiniband before so my reason for wanting to try it is just to learn what it is, and how it works. That said, some of those use-cases look very interesting, especially transporting NVMe namespaces, I didn't know that was possible.

 

I was found a listing on eBay for a "Mellanox CX354A ConnectX-3 FDR Infiniband 40GbE QSFP+" card for quite cheap. By the sound of the listing title it supports both infiniband and 40GbE, is that right? I would like to try out infiniband, but I would be buying for the 40GbE. And are there good drivers for modern linux distros for this card? Also, do I just buy some QSFP cables to direct attach them?

Yep, I wish I bought all my VR games from steam, but I bought a few from oculus when I first bought the headset. Also some games are oculus exclusive :/

I actually figured it out trying to login to the app, I just needed to login to meta with my oclulus account credentials and it migrated it, not the most obvious thing. I like how the app constantly asks for location permission despite me not having a quest to pair it to. Also I find it funny that they care so little for the CV1 it shows a rift S for its picture lol

Facebook has owned oculus since before the CV1, but I agree it was much less intergrated and still felt like a separate brand. I'm definitely biased as fuck, but "oculus" is infinitely better than "meta". Much better sounding name. I just made a meta account to migrate my oculus account, but I can't find any way to do it on PC without a quest. I don't have a quest, so I guess I'm fucked?

How do I even migrate??? I can't figure it out

How is this legal? Feels ridiculous to lose games I paid for just because I didn't migrate my account. Same with the Microsoft minecraft account migration. When I bought my CV1 there was the promise that I would not need a facebook account.

I was testing a custom initramfs that would load a full root into a ramdisk, and when I was going to shut down I tried to run rm -rf --no-preserve-root / to see what would happen, since I was on a ramdisk anyway. The computer would not boot after that because it nuked the UEFI options.
