@porco I'm really torn between the Linksys LRT214-EU and the Zyxel Firewall VPN2S.
Major difference between them is that Linksys seems to be relatively slow with OpenVPN, which I think about using.
What do you prefer, OpenVPN or IPSec?
If you want to use openvpn, then openvpn?
I'd probably go for IPSec but since you're buying for a small company, I'd suggest OpenVPN
The question is, would I really gain something by using ovpn as opposed to IPSec? The upstream of their ISP connection is fairly limited, so I wanna make it as "lean" as possible
OpenVPN is easier to understand and configure

New Epyc gen is rumored to be 64c / socket
Yes
epyc isn't mainstream though
No but nothing (except the pricing maybe) stops you from building an EPYC desktop
most software not benefitting from it is quite big block tho
aka "sanity" "do i get anything from this"
i would say that prevents using epyc on most systems
AMD says they're datacenter cpus
doesn't dictate what you end up doing with it, though
yeah people used Xeons for gaming due ??? they didnt care for electricity or anything else really
the low clock count makes it unappealing to me
Xeons maybe for more PCIe lanes?
I doubt ECC makes a difference for gaming
I used a Xeon desktop from July 2012 to November 2018
Yes ecc makes a different for gaming, it makes gaming slower
I have a Xeon E3 in my homeserver
it's p nice
Ecc is not about perf, it's about stability
I would not run a server or video/audio rendering without it
at least the important stuff
It depends what you do on the server
Most use cases don't actually require or even benefit from ecc
Data storage, serving movies via Plex
What kind of raid level?
I use FreeNAS w/raidz2
6 3tb wd reds
Then ECC brings a benefit
But only because of the raidz2
Everything else that you said has 0 benefits from ECC
yeah I have to. so many lifehacker tier guides said "just pick up old pc parts and smash them together" and FreeNAS forums were very clear about how important ECC is
Data storage is directly affected by raid z2, Plex is not
