Hey TQers. To clarify, our community post yesterday says "soon" and not "immediately" 🙂
RIP 😥
Currently I am preparing to build a server for my homelab. Recently I bought Supermicro X11DPi-NT motherboard for 2 CPUs, want to shove there some higher clocked Xeon with many threads, so I can have beefy machine. Will serve as NAS, HTTP fileserver, NVR, some multiplayer game server (UT2004? :D) and in the future maybe a router based on pfSense or OpenWRT. Also for trying some AI based stuff, after I install Nvidia GPU later . Still waiting for some components to arrive though. Some time ago was thinking about purchasing an older DELL Poweredge R530 or something like that,, but with upgraded configuration, it could cost nearly the same as to build it myself.
Servers share with multiple/simultaneous users. pcs are generally one user at a time.
A server is a software that offers a service another software (client) connects to and then uses. (In the context of IP networks: A sever would have an IP address and port.)
What kind of hardware you put under this service is up to the decision how important this service is and what is affordable.
We all know that a itx case and a ryzen 9000 series makes the best server.
dam my ai was wondering about that yesterday
Linus your Techquickie used to be very helpful and handy because they were focused on our daily life questions and confusions , now they are almost just random information about random facts , I'm not saying that you and your team don't make an effort but your effort should be with benefits to us , you are my idol and that's why I want you to keep your legacy alive , you should ask us about what we want to know about , you can make a pull with three to five options about the topics you want to explain and the topic with the highest likes is the one you explain on the next TQ , sorry if my English was bad 😬
Hi, I have an i3-1125g4(4cores and 8threads) paired with uhd graphics and 4gb ddr4 ram, should I add 4gb/8gb or swap out the 4gb for a dual channel 16gb(2x8gb)?…I just want to run gta V and fifa 22 nothing much…anyone with relevant knowledge can answer(thanks in advance 🙏🏾)
All the companies we support use Microsoft Azure cloud servers. No more servers in the data centre with expensive contarcts and licensing to worry about.
pls make a video where you explain the different PCIe connectors like u.2 e3.s and their SFF names.. this is confusing if u don't know what is what
rip channel super fun, linus cat tips, mac address and techquickie
I like your shirt
eh, he went too big, too fast failing to properly explain… imagine if someone asked whats the difference between a car and a truck. And the only trucks a youtuber would talk about are huge 18 wheelers. Like there would be ZERO mention of a typical truck that an actual family owns. In the end he makes them look exotic and barely comparable to cars… meanwhile all manufacturers have tower servers in their portfolio, that are not stackable, have just single cpu socket, but they have better build quality, and ECC ram, and ipmi for remote management… those are the F150s and Tacomas somehow forgotten.
Unfortunately I find this video slightly misleading. In general a server is a just a computer that serves data to other devices on its network. There should have been a short introductory segment pointing out that this video is mainly about INDUSTRIAL GRADE SERVERS and that home and workgroup servers exist as well and are more closely related to standard PCs and workstations (i.e. they usually use form factors similar to tower PCs, but offer much more beefed up storage and networking sections). I would also have been intersting to investigate the transition from classical workgroup servers to virtualized cloud solutions (run on industrial-grade hardware) that is currently taking place (i.e. one type of server replacing another type of server).
These days, the simple answer is that a server contains a lot more than 22 PCIe lanes while everything else doesn't!
did he say 2 cores for gaming? Who wrote that?
You forgot a very important point: for servers, hot-swappable, redundant PSUs, extremelly common in server racks.
Software.
I'm pretty sure that those clocks on server CPU as lower for a lot more reasons. I find the number at around 3.6 GHz quite constant even among consumer units.
A server is designed to run multiple instances of a few programs while a PC is designed to run a a few instances of multiple programs.
What's a server?
Oh that's Linux
What's a computer for work?
Oh that's Mac
What's a gaming computer?
Oh that's Windows
What happened at 7:17? Some random edit?
Great episode. Here's something I have on my mind: when I was in highschool in the mid 2000s the school's computer lab had a server. Why?! I mean, all of the 20-30 computers in the room were normal PCs, just like ones you might have at home – meaning, they weren't some kind of a dumb terminal. So why did we need a server? Is it possible that it was just a misnomer (or old nomenclature) for some sort of a (non-wireless) internet router?
The only difference between a server and a PC and a server is whatever its main task is. That's literally by definition. Everything else is simply optimisation and features
Google used to run on desktop-grade PCs at the beginning in the 2000s thou, they saved a ton of money on that and were able to deploy across the globe.
A server is a device that primarily runs server software (not client software). So if you run a dedicated game server on an old laptop/raspberry pi that qualifies as a server because it's providing a service for the connected clients but this falls under home servers.
I think this video is aimed at explaining business or enterprise server configurations.
RIP Techquickie 🙏
software
Me running 7 instances of w11 and a few more ubuntu and debian instances with zero hiccups on an i7-6700 and 64gb of ram lol
I always like the comparison: A server to a desktop is similar to comparing a truck to a car. Essentially different form factor and better prepared for heavy duty usage.
servers need compute and need to be more efficient
Techquickie is the only channel i have alwrts on for pls dont stop posting here
I was gonna say about 300 .lbs ^^…. and that does not include the UPS…. I almost miss the days of listening too scsi drives screaming at 15k rpm… sure saved on the heat bill 🙂
A PC is where you sit at.
A Server is where the Magic actually happens.
For ltt pc is made by apple, servers are made by someone not apple (at least for now.) done it only needed to be a 20 second video no clue why they kicked it to 7 minutes
I once built a headless Jellyfin server with old desktop parts and Linux. It's still going strong to this day.
Love the way Linus butters us up for the Equinix video
Thanks to Linus, you just talked me out of buying a used server on FB marketplace 😢
3:37 skip ad
Hello there Linus 😀
Ok but can I run Doom onto it ?
2:59 wait some modern servers have 32gb of ram???? Thats an insane amount of ram
One thing you have to Consider is Windows Server OS. Not Supported on some Desktop Chipsets.
Is it me or the writing on this script a bit odd?
Anyone else notice homelabbing is up in the past few weeks?
Thank you Linus for the video!
Now I can finally explain to non-tech people what I do at my job when I say “I sell servers…computers but industrial…”
