<grw> better value than renting whole thunderx unless youre running builds 24/7
<andi-> i was initially thinking about owning a thunder x to do just that... rackspace is available just need someone to sell me hardware for a reasonable price...
<gchristensen> andi-: where do you have rack space?
<andi-> current work & friends place
<andi-> aka. datacenter
<gchristensen> nice
<andi-> not much, just a few units for private use if I need..
<gchristensen> well hang tight we might get a thunderx soon
<andi-> :-)
<andi-> still I'd love to have that kind of hardware in my hands for my own services :D
<grw> andi-: what do you consider reasonable price?
<gchristensen> same :)
<andi-> grw: well a few thousand would probably be acceptable for the dual socket version
<andi-> oh nice
<andi-> nice
<andi-> xmas is close... might buy myself a present
<gchristensen> oh whoa
<grw> tempting :) i will stick with orangepi for now
<gchristensen> oh,blades, nvm
<andi-> oh thats nice finaly some prices for the H270's
<andi-> flokli: ^ thats the one we tried to get prices for recently
<grw> i wonder whos buying these
<grw> given the IO i guess SDN of some sort
<andi-> there was a cloudflare article about the thunderX IIRC
<andi-> they compared them for CDN usage
<gchristensen> check out what Packet has for their Edge nodes
<andi-> it should be those
<andi-> I mean the Type2A look much a like from a high-level perspective
<gchristensen> oh, actually, intel ?? 4 Physical Cores @ 2.0 GHz base / 3.40 GHz burst(1 × E3-1578L)
<grw> strange config.. who would rent iris pro gfx? o_O

<samueldr> I might be very good at missing the obvious; are there any builds made for the sd image when the channel advances?

<sphalerite> samueldr: currently no, AFAIU
<sphalerite> At least there was some talk about it yesterday or so, something along the lines of "currently it builds an ISO which won't actually work on any devices we know of. We should make it build the SD images"

<Dezgeg> yes, the SD image doesn't have a hydra job yet
