Yes basically. I started with RPi too, everyone on twitter had them and a cool case. But it wasn't even enough power to run a mid level lightning node that balanced channels once every 5 minutes.

Speaking from experience here! I'm mad that bitcoiners all recommended it and it's a piece of shit 🧡

Later this month I have to move a cluster I built from 36 tower PC’s and 100’s of meters of infiniband.

It’s amazing what you can do with a pallet of refurb. 😉

Infiniband sounds like Cisco

⚡️🌱🌙 2y ago

Mellanox

The cables cost more than the PC’s.

I needed to build a memory fabric and lots of sockets+infiniband was the most scalable way to do it.

Mellanox, crazy expensive cables, infiniband, so Cisco

nostr.build 2y ago

Actually technically Mellanox was acquired by NVIDIA..

Byzantine 2y ago

ever since nvidia acquired them

nostr.build 2y ago

I seem to recall it was pretty expensive tech even before NVIDIA acquired them. I’m sure NVIDIA cranked up the price.

Yeah, cables are $1000s…

⚡️🌱🌙 2y ago

Interesting, I have ~100x of these lying around.

nostr.build 2y ago

100x Mellanox cables? Basically used to connect and train supercomputers? Yeah, pretty sure they are holding value better than the dollar.

⚡️🌱🌙 2y ago

Yep, I have probably 500m - 1km of this stuff.

80 GB/s plus all the network cards and two switches.

When did they get that expensive? Bought some for maybe 200 a few years ago

nostr.build 2y ago

I’ve seen them for $500-$1000 new from Mellanox

Same

nostr.build 2y ago

I just remember we had to expense like 10 and it was many thousands of dollars, had to get special approvals..

nostr.build 2y ago

Depends on the cable

Okay my cables were 100Gb/s, no splitter and definitely not 4m

⚡️🌱🌙 2y ago

Still, that’s a ridiculous price for a cable.

Roir Raw 2y ago

Just like the $65k switch
