Fast storage is relative. It works flawlessly on a budget SATA SSD from like 10 years ago. It would probably have a 1-2 minute load time on a SATA spinning disk, but I have not used a system with a spinning disk boot drive in years.


So I checked the specs, I misremembered. The CPU in the systems I’m using is a Pentium G630 @2.7 GHz with 4gb of ddr3. Benchmarks put that at about double the Celeron N3060 in performance. I’m also booting from an internal SATA SSD.
I think the most limiting factor for you is the live boot, it is pretty much always slower to boot from a live image than from an install.


What hardware are you running this on? I’ve got Ubuntu with KDE running on some ancient Pentium dual core systems from like 2009 or 2010, and it boots to desktop in ~30 seconds or so.


Well nVidia just sells the hardware to the AI companies, so even if the bubble pops, they won’t go bankrupt. They will stop making such obscene amounts of money, but they’re one (also the largest) of the 3 major GPU vendors. Personal computing still would buy from them, as would non-AI datacenters. He wants to keep the bubble going for as long as possible to boost their profits for as long as he can, but as long as people need graphical rendering and parallel compute power, I don’t think nVidia is going anywhere.
Think of them as the guy selling prospectors their tools. They hype everything up and jack up their prices for picks and shovels. When the prospectors don’t find any gold to make their investment back, the shovel guy just goes back to selling shovels at normal rates and prices. Sure, he’s not making as much profit, but he’s still solidly in business.


If you do have automation, that’s another thing you have to set up and manage.
Hosting a CA is a whole additional service to set up, as is enabling trust for said CA on every server you’re running.


Bare metal is commonly used to describe server OS installs that are not virtualized and are installed directly to the hardware. People are most likely conflating containerized and virtualized.
I’m struggling a bit. I got the server up and text chat is working great, but the documentation for getting voice calls working is pretty hard to follow.
My searching around has failed to find a more step by step guide for modifying the gigantic sample continuwuity.toml file. It’s so unwieldy, and it feels impossible to know if there are some additional settings that need to be configured that I’m simply missing due to the length of the file.
Any tips, tricks, or guides you’re willing would be appreciated!
