Thanks, you do not have to go through the same manual I already plowed through multiple times. I am certainly not looking to disable cores or compromise the performance severely. Disabling core perf boost was worth it because the power saved was a much higher percentage than the performance loss...

Thanks but I am referring to cases where the applications are very much non-critical (like mining for example) where no bit error would spell disaster so I would like to experiment and try anyway please. I am not asking whether I should undervolt my EPYC cpus, I'm asking if there is any way I...

Hi, I went through a lot to get where I am right now with a... - H11DSi (supermicro mobo) - 2x AMD EPYC 7k62 - 16x 8GB of 2933MHz RAM - Clear linux live server OS (43470) ...working great but I want to keep it short as much as possible. Is there any way at all I can undervolt them ? (NOT...

Doesn't have to be 24/7. Even 16 hours a day would be good and have it run 75 % of the threads the other 8 hours is not far off 100 % usage in average. Moreover, I already accounted for the (rather cheap) price of electricity for me in determining if and how much profit will there be. Unless...

No... No thank you. I know there is "better" hardware that is optimized specifically for crypto mining but the problem is it's the only thing you can do with those and things like antminers... I've been told they are shady products from a shady company. Moreover, I don't want to turn my entire...

Hi. Recently I got an idea stuck in my head that I kinda grew fond of. It is to try and build a new "PC" (in quotations because it'll likely be a server) that will pay for itself (hopefully entirely) with crypto mining (CPU-favored mining algos like RandomX). With the existence of dedicated...

I don't understand how I missed the existence of the Enterprise LTSC edition ! Any thought on this one ? It seems to be in favor with gamers based on some quick search !

Okay but can it be done outside of windows update ??! Like how individual updates for earlier versions of the Windows operating system could be manually downloaded as KBXXXXXX.exe or something like that ?

Alright, do I conclude from all these exchanges that a minimally altered Windows install is the best option and not Linux ? Is it safe and a good idea to use O&O shutup10++ on it according to you ? Can I update Windows Defender without relying on Windows Update ?

I understand warrants and subpoena are a thing but I am not aiming for anything illegal (so far - who knows how twisted the law can become in the future) and I understand privacy cannot (and should not be expected to) be absolute. Moreover, I am not seeking to make my real personal information...

I agree but Isolation is not an option. I know some level of risk has to be taken. Moreover priorities #1 and #2 are sort of even I put privacy first but it isn't by much.

Hi, First and foremost, I've been considering a wide variety of options for an operating system with the following priorities in mind: 1- Privacy: At the risk of sounding paranoid, the geopolitical state of MANY "democratic" countries and just the world in general is very concerning to me and...
