Just wanted to share something I’ve been quietly building — it started as a scheduler for AI workloads, but I think it might have broader implications.

A lot of us buy affordable GPUs (A2000s, 3060s, even 1050Tis) and stick them into a homelab setup — but no one’s really talking about software-level optimization.

I built a module that:

Monitors GPU/CPU/memory use

Uses ML to learn from your own workload patterns

Allocates tasks (inference, background jobs, etc.) to the best device over time

Falls back to CPU intelligently (especially if you're working with huge RAM pools)

Result? My dual A2000 + Threadripper Pro + 128GB ECC rig outperforms a single 3090 in many AI and inference jobs, especially over longer batch sessions.

It’s kind of like “Run:ai for homelabbers.” No Kubernetes. No fluff. Just a lightweight allocator that learns how to use your machine better.

Thinking about open-sourcing it. Curious if anyone else would use something like this — or already built their own hacky version?

Thanks!

I want to get RAM for the Supermicro X12SCZ-F and the ebay listings are all ~$100 for 32GB. The boards I'm looking for (Supermicro/Asrock Rack) size micro-ATX all only support UDIMM unregistered ECC RAM. Even the newer versions.

Is this a normal price? I also chatted with some sellers and they all say it's rare and expensive.

Any alternative m-ATX mainboards I should look into that support registered ECC?

Hey fellow Sysadmins, nerds and geeks.

As someone with over 1 PB of deployed storage, I’m always hunting for better disk deals—and I wasn’t satisfied with the tools out there. That’s why I built a lightweight tool to track SSD and HDD prices and highlight good deals.

I'd really appreciate your thoughts before I polish it up further:

  • What parts feel smooth or helpful so far?
  • Anything feels confusing or awkward?
  • What filters or features would you add?

I’m the sole developer behind this side project, so I’ve tried to keep it simple and user-focused—but I’d love to know what would make it genuinely useful for you. You can check it out below, but more than anything I’d welcome feedback—on Reddit or via the email on the contact page.

The data constantly gets updated, so right now there might not be all disks out there, but daily fetch jobs across many amazon and ebay regions is running ATM.

Thanks in advance!

Insee people posting pics of 48 port switches and rack filled with mini PC's what are the actually real world use of ao much power.

I can understand Nas on 10gbe maybee direct to a work/video editing PC. Then a basic PC for a router and few other low end tasks.
