Re:Ask HN: Always on low power home server on Monday March 01, 2021 @02:17PM (#26306921)

A couple of options:

NanoPC-T4[0] is based on RK3399, with a big.LITTLE CPU (Dual-Core Cortex-A72, Quad-Core Cortex-A53) with 4GB RAM, supports NVMe and a fanless configuration.

ODROID-HC4[1] is based on Amlogic S905X3, with a Quad-Core A55 and 4GB RAM (no WiFi, only 1G Ethernet) and two SATA ports, which make it well suited for entry-level NAS.

I use gpg to work around vim's encryption inconsistencies across different versions. This vimrc does the trick for me: https://gist.github.com/iatrou/9da751368aecdf0a37f1

Re:LibPhenom, a high-performance C eventing framework from Facebook on Monday September 16, 2013 @11:18PM (#6397375)

Looks very promising! It would really help the adoption of such new projects if there was a bit more effort to present the current status as well as a roadmap. libphenom strives to be a core component for server applications. It also has to compete with similar Open Source projects that have been around for a while, with well known strengths and limitations. A more clear statement of its current status (is it used in production for Facebook? is it in beta? are there known caveats?) as well as the future goals would help to build confidence in the project.
