  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • ReBarUEFI

    Resizable BAR for (almost) any UEFI system

  • Arc A310! Wanted to use it for that sweet sweet AV1 goodness, but heard that it needs resizable bar. Does the raster performance penalty of not using it also apply to transcoding? If so, has any one used some like https://github.com/xCuri0/ReBarUEFI to make it work?

  • Dell_iDRAC_fan_controller_Docker

    Docker image to control your Dell PowerEdge fans via IPMI

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • R710-Fan-Control

    A fork of R710-IPMI-TEMP from NoLooseEnds/Scripts, generalised to a fan control daemon for Dell Poweredge servers. Has reported to work on R710s, R520, R730. Allows more flexible control of the fan throttling vs the vanilla iDrac control which tends to ramp the fans up to full velocity the moment you add non-Dell hardware.

  • For the noise, if it becomes a problem that you can't tune through idrac, then keep an eye on my fan control daemon on github. I am just getting my R730xd online now (came here to reddit to see whether anyone else is annoyed that https://linux.dell.com has just gone offline, after successfully using it all day to get firmware updated), and plan on continuing to use that daemon if necessary (it runs on my R520 that the 730xd will eventually replace). I'll push changes through as I discover issues.
