This is probably a stupid question, since 2 > 1, but here goes...

I have a home server. It's a ComputerLINK 1U rack server I bought off eBay some years back. It has 2 CPUs, Intel Xeon E5645 2.4Ghz(https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/48768/intel-xeon-processor-e5645-12m-cache-2-40-ghz-5-86-gt-s-intel-qpi.html). It also has two 750W power supplies, but I have one unplugged. It also has RAM and 5 HDDs.

I also have the guts of my old desktop PC. The CPU is an AMD FX8350 4Ghz(https://www.amd.com/en/products/cpu/fx-8350). The motherboard is some ASUS model, I forget and don't want to check right now. A potential PSU would be 500-600W range.

My question: I am considering moving to use my old PC parts as a new home server. One benefit is to cut down on the noise (rack mount PC fans are LOUD). But the real gain I would want is on power savings. So, if RAM and the multiple HDDs all stay the same, but I moved them to the AMD/ASUS CPU/motherboard, can anyone definitively say this will be more power-efficient?

I am not very knowledgeable when it comes to electrics or power consumption, and am just looking for someone to confirm for me. I am aware that the AMD CPU still isn't an excellent choice for an always-on machine, but it could be an improvement.

Looks like the Nisky store is going bye-bye.

Hi. I have two plants I've been growing all summer on my back patio. One is a Trainwreck, the other it either Trainwreck or Lamb's Breath. I am not sure which is which.

The plants have grown pretty well all summer, are about 5.5 feet tall, and are starting to flower. One especially, the other only has a few little spindly guys at the nodes.

Anyways... I've had a few yellow leaves and just yanked em off all summer without too much worry. Now though, with all the flowers budding, I am seeing a ton more yellow leaves and it's making me worry.

I am using fish fertilizer and have been applying once a week.

Should I add anything else? Should I not worry about it? My regular gardening knowledge says the plants need nitrogen but I'm afraid to use any other fertilizers since I've killed cannabis plants in the past this way.

I have a Scarlett Solo and I have found that with the linux-rt kernel, I get no noticeable latency recording audio, whereas there's a few ms delay on the main linux kernel.

I am able to run other applications and play games just fine on linux-rt. Is there any reason not to just make this my default?

Ok, here's the opposite. Just trying to generate some dialog so apologies for copying Reddit ideas.

• Potholes on Brandywine
• Parking on Brandywine
• I fucking hate that road
• Ummm, I don't know maybe the nazis that were by the Super 8 in Rotterdam the other week?

I'll start with a few of mine:

• Plotter Kill is underrated
• Steak sandwiches at First Prize Mikes
• Ankers is the best fried fish in the Capital Region, prove me wrong
• At least it's not Troylet

We moved in to our house a couple years ago and were not told too much about a pipe that sticks out of our backyard.

We are on a septic system and this pipe is sticking out from our leech field. The other houses on our block all have similar setups yet none (that I know) have a pipe coming up like ours.

It was suggested to me that this may be safe to remove, or at least remove, cover the whole for a few weeks, and as long as there's no issues, then remove.

It's not attached to anything and I can pretty easily pull it out and put it back in, although I've tended not to touch it much.

Can anyone provide any insight here please?
