Revision as of 04:53, 31 October 2024 by Daddykeystroke (talk | contribs) (data processing rig for science and the betterment of society: part suggestion 1)

This page contains information, plans, and results of club budget requests and purchases for the 2024-2025 school year.

Funding

VTLUUG is currently eligible for:

  • $1,500 from the SBB for the year

We could in the future be eligible for:

  • $500 a semester, more with justification
    • if we become a CS Affiliated Org. This is theoretically possibly doable *right now*, during the Fall '24 semester. Theoretically.
  • $??? from the SEC
    • if we jump through all the required hoops. these seemingly are:
      • attendance to SEC ~3 meetings a semester
      • >=3 hours of community service via the SEC in a *previous* semester
      • signing up for some stuff

Proposed Purchases

For each of the following, use this format.

  • $PRICE <item name> (<person interested in buying it>)
    • reason for proposed purchase
    • link to a store page or quote with the price

these are just ideas, don't feel shy about putting something with a wacky price tag down

  • $716 8x14TB SAS Renewed HDDs (rsk)
    • we can use these to turn cyberdelia into a massive NAS (~84TB with RAIDZ2 and a minimal root filesystem), which can then be used to serve public package mirrors (e.g. all ~5TB of Debian mirrors) and provide general storage for members

Possible Setup 1 (this is just to test the waters) Ill have better ones There will be many possible builds depending on what other hardware people want to use or have (technically I am sleeping rn but this build was on my mind)

  • $179 ASUS Prime Z490-P LGA 1200 (Intel® 10th Gen) ATX Motherboard (daddykeystroke)
    • I am ASUS enjoyer (People say they changed with the logo I have not noticed quality drop myself). Cheap, effective, works with 10th gen intel. (ONLY 2 PCIE 16 slots) this is never enough and the p100 faces the wrong way if I remember right.
