I also have a zen4 cpu.

The 30 second boots are memory training. The motherboard is basically training itself on how the DDR5 memory modules respond on every signal wire and it can be inordinately slow depending in memory amount. For whatever reason, AMD DDR5 systems are slower at it than comparable Intel DDR5 systems.

Update your BIOS to the latest version then enabled “Memory Context Restore”. The bios will then save the last training results and stop taking 30 seconds to start up.

Is yours a new AM5 socket based AMD system by any chance?

can’t wait to see the hexbear response to this one

Turns out the secret to gaining interest from women is… checks notes good diet, getting fit and healthy, having a consistent tastful style, eand being well read in an interesting hobby.

Never would have fu-cking guessed.

I’m sorry to tell you this, but, uh… they weren’t in quarantine.

What in the manufactured persecution fetish is this bullshit? Where’s the meme?

2GB of memory is fine for openWRT. Routing is surprisingly light tbh, consider that most all home/SOHO routers run integrated SoC’s with <256MB of memory.

routing speed is more dependent on CPU +cache speed

i’d eat my boot if a residential ISP let you run your own SFP fiber module. they have to pretty tighttly control those things to keep signal levels right and have wavelengths in the right spots. plus they’ll need to upstream reconfigure it somewhat frequently as the local network changes and if it’s not their hardware, they’ll get mad.

Hmm.

I do quite a bit of parametric modelling and I see how something like this could be made. Find the angles of the sun at specific times, project planes at a fixed distance and angle matching around your cylinder, sketch the time number you want on each plane with a fixed pitch and then project-cut back through the cylinder. Would be a pain in the ass though. And a pretty tough 3d print without soluble supports, given all those tiny tiny interior walls and cavities.
