So it's a good thing I got the 64GB version of the #Minisforum UM 890 pro. I have 9 tabs open in Brave, Brasero ripping a DVD and a virtual machine with 16GB of RAM allotted to make certain it doesn't resort to swap. I've also got Handbrake doing an AV1 encode of some 4k, 10bit HDR content and it's using 12-13 GB of RAM all by itself. I didn't know that, if you had it available, Handbrake would use that much memory to just do video transcoding, but I guess it's good I've got it to spare,

Minisforum AI X1 Pro - The Complete Linux Review
https://subscribeto.me/videos/watch/222bbc0a-7e75-4245-9dc8-fbe48ad8b4d0
Minisforum has started publishing firmware updates to LVFS! This is awesome, I had previously almost bricked my device attempting to update its firmware by hacking apart the windows files.
Shit's happening!
A friendly Canadian told me just enough about #KDEneon!
I've recently acquired a spare 256G NVMe SSD, for testing.
Y'know what, i might as well jump right in - into "the cold water" - and try and #game on this thing! (A #Minisforum #UM780XTX mini PC. [Radeon 780M/RDNA3/12CUs])
I'll be happy, if i can get away with #Steam and #Proton on #Linux, without installing #Windows11.
Yeah, eschewing dual-boot, sounds like an enticing idea.
Got the UM890 Pros configured with Debian, ready for the #k3s cluster. Thankfully they accepted the 96GB of RAM fine

I've been using well into the 60-70% range of memory on my #k3s #homelab cluster, and I think it's time for an upgrade. I haven't even added all of my existing services yet, and there needs to be additional headroom for my Minecraft servers (at least 2).
In light of this, I've opted to purchase 2 #Minisforum UM890 Pros barebone kits, which I'll fill using some items from Amazon. Both will get a 1TB NVMe SSD and 96GB of RAM.. I suspect this should do the trick of future proofing the homelab for a while . I'll probably also setup link aggregation over the 2x 2.5Gbit ports on each unit as well.
Last piece of the puzzle is rack mounting these things.. I haven't seen a ton of options - just this Racknix item which doesn't exactly match my theme: https://racknex.com/minisforum-um890-pro-rackmount-kit-um-min-203/
I'll need to keep an eye out but I'm excited to have such modern machines in my stack (all of my existing gear is older 2nd machines, which work great of course, but can't cut it memory wise).

2画面なのでなかなか使い勝手がイメージし難いデバイスですが、購入前の参考になれば…と思います。
My #MinisForum #Proxmox node is named and launched. Now it is a flagman of my #homelab. Still lacks some RAM to reach its final form.
Time to swap some hardware
