This is a bigger culture shock than the metric vs imperial system to me.
  • Therefore "more or less" ;) of course I didn't make a study on it, just traveled a bunch of countries and only in thosei noticed it... Needing to add that this is not something that would jump in my eye first time I visit a county.

    On a side note: in Germany, we use the -2, -1, 0, 1, 2 scheme, bit most of the times they write it more clear with: 1. OG (first upper floor), EG (ground floor), 1. UG (First lower floor). I think "upper" and "lower" is not a good translation, but I'm now to tired to think of someone better suiting

  • This is a bigger culture shock than the metric vs imperial system to me.
  • Let me Google that for you:

    • early mentionetd of the concept of void in India Like 2k years ago*
    • "In the 9th century, during the intellectual flourishing of the Islamic Golden Age, zero became fully integrated into mathematics. "*
    • adoption to Europe around 12th century*

    Yes ok, a couple more than a could, but definitively not an order of magnitude...

  • This is a bigger culture shock than the metric vs imperial system to me.
  • More or less everybody except US and Russia has zero floor, counting in big office buildings is fun: 3,2,1,-1,-2, I know... The concept of a number zero is not that old (couple hundred years, don't remember the details), but should be enough to update your language :-*

  • I try.
  • Yeah, I got a couple of review requests of papers in fields I had absolutely no clue about. After declining the fivth I felt the need to press accept and spent the next weeks trying to get into that topic and write at least something useful. That moment I learned were all those BS reviews come from, which I usually get for my papers XD

    ASRock N100M

    Hello everybody,

    I recently purchased some parts for my first homeserver, but I am not really happy with the case, because it just a tremendous waste of space.

    I am running an ASRock N100M micro-ATX with two Sata SSDs and one PCIe x1 NIC and Pico PSU to power it. So I am looking for a minimal/small case to fit exactly this.

    What I find usually has no accommodation for PCIe cards, or wastes 50% of its space for a full ATX PSU and an optical drive tray... or it just cost more then the whole PC together. Since it is such a minimal setup I am hoping to pay the lower end of case prices (~30-50euro).

    Does somebody here has an idea?

    Best wishes

    Hardware for Linux gaming PC

    Dear fellow enthusiasts,

    my wife and I finally got stable enough in our living situation, that we can buy some new hardware (ours is 7+ years, while hers is a laptop). So I went out into the wild wild web to catch up with 7years of hardware progress (I am technological affine, but not following the trends in any way) and wanted to run by my first iteration of a setup with the infinite wisdom of this community.

    For the background: both of us only use Linux at home and at work and do not plan to change this. We do not play AAA games, the most demanding game we play as of late is probably Dota2, ARK and GTNH (a Minecraft mod pack, that eats your ram for breakfast). Hence we won't need cutting edge hardware, more like an upper end budget setup. Anyway, with my last PC I had tons of troubles with the mainboard, the GPU (nvidia) and other stuff, even though I thought I checked stuff in advance, so I wanted to have an outside opinion.

    TL;DR: here my draft, with prices from an online store:

    • Mainboard: ASRock B650M-H/M.2+ 97.90€
    • CPU: AMD Ryzen 7™ 7700, 8 core, 3.800 MHz base, AM5, 32 MB L3 cache 227.90€
    • GPU: XFX Radeon RX 6650 XT Speedster SWFT 210 Core Gaming, RDNA 2, GDDR6, 3x DisplayPort, 1x HDMI 2.1 249.90€
    • RAM: ADATA DIMM 32 GB DDR5-4800 (2x 16 GB) Dual-Kit, 84.90€
    • PSU: be quiet! System Power 10 650W 61.90€
    • Storage: Crucial P3 Plus 1 TB, SSD PCIe 4.0 x4, NVMe, M.2 2280, Reading: 5.000 MB/s, Writing: 3.600 MB/s 69.99€
    • CPU cooler: be quiet! Pure Rock 2 Black 39.89€
    • case: generic 50.00€

    sum: ~880.00€

    we don't mind to pay a little bit more here and there, but I do not see any real benefit to it. Even storage should be fine for our purpose and can be easily expended (the MB has two M.2 slots, and even Sata3 should be fine for raw storage).

    ah, and we would buy two of those... My first idea was to buy one PC with two GPUs with passthrough of GPU and USB input (sitting anyway close), but I got the impression, that is at this moment more something to tinker, then to run "in production".

    Best wishes, me
