Hey Jeff! I found you from your Reddit posts. I love your lab! Working for both EMC and then Dell's Enterprise division I have seen a LOT of data centers. And yours looks pretty similar to many company's data centers, just on a smaller scale. Keep up the videos and the awesome home lab work buddy.
As a former Metrologist, Turbofan Test Engineer, Control System Engineer, Network Engineer, PC repair tech, and also programmer from the mid-80's until now, this is pulling all of my strings!
In general, it looks like this method (or similar) along with your powerful hardware might be good for finding obscure (perhaps valuable) data sifting through large, complex data sets in, for example, some "backwater" of the futures markets as a sort of quant operation, or many other things. And since its running on your own servers, it is a private operation from AWS, Microsoft, etc., an advantage over most other people and companies.
@@jeffsponaugle6339 Found a(24). I'm currently waiting for review on oeis, but you can already see it in the 'history' section. I recommend my blog article for more details, which I have also linked on oeis. On my blog you'll find ways to contact me, so we can share our progress on a(25) :D
@@MelroyvandenBerg I initially used a shared server from TUM to search 10 of the 100 prefixes. Then I feared that Jeff might find it faster (after he showed his new gear and that he was still searching :D) so for the remaining prefixes I used my own servers that I normally use for different applications and a rented low end server for the disk based approach, as this shortens the life span of the disk significantly... You can read my article that I put on oeis for more details :)
Keep those videos coming ! Love em
Quite literally next level stuff going on here! Nice job 👍
I always feel extremely humbled after watching these videos, and privileged to call you one of my friends.

RUclips addiction 🎉
I lot of experience ❤❤
Any advice for the younger generation
Awesome work :)

Great job! Very nice video. I am using my homelab mainly for research and entertinment but might look at this when scaling it up.
Great video! Congratulations!
Congrats on the world records!
Loved it!
Jeff, what do you do in your homelab? "It's a minecraft server" 😂
Exactly!
Thx Jeff!
Congrats on finding a(23)! Don’t worry, Pi still has plenty of surprises... like the one I just found. 😉
Seriously, thanks for the inspiration!
Tell me more!

Wait... you found a(24)!??
Jonas might have used the Technical University of Munich data center or not Jonas?

What is the longest known repetition of the first N digits of Pi?
Jeff you are prob the smartest person i know.
Sir Jeffrey. I wanna frame your photo up in my prayer room. Coz you are considered as lord of Homelabs!
how do you swap between pc's like that? thats very cool
I am sort of like a nerd myself. Still thinking whether to setup a home lab as it is costly and my location here is too hot to maintain a homelab.
Good job, Jeff! But the real question now is- are you drawing those perfect boxes with a mouse or are you using a tablet? 🤔
ha.. a tablet.. but I suck at drawing boxes!
surprised you aren't using boinc.
Jonas Schmitz now found a(24).. who is Jonas?
M2 Ultra Studio ;)
M2 Ultra is far slower than high performance PC with AMD cpu and NVidia graphics. Mac Studio is like a turtle in comparison.
Nerd!
jk :-)
A very impressive *home* *lab* , but corporate or government labs have 1000's of times more computing power.
Enterprise does, not corporate.
@@jakeboston6946 Google, Facebook, Apple and Amazon are corporations. They have FAR more computing horsepower than this homelab video on RUclips.
@@DerekDavis213 they are conglomerates
