What a fucking idiotic war mongler. We should be strengthening our ties to Mexico not fucking starting a war.

This shit needs to stop. As a Texan (by force…) I’d absolutely be joining the feds to fight against Texas.

Depending on your transcoding needs you might not even need it for that.

I have a proxbox with a R5 4600G even under extreme loads the stock cooler is fine. Honestly once prox is setup you don’t need a GPU. The video output of proxmox is just a terminal (Debian) so as long as things are running normally you can do everything through the web interface even without the gpu. I do highly recommend a second GPU (either a G series CPU or a cheap GPU) if you want to try proxmox GPU passthrough. I’ve done it and can say it is extremely difficult to get working reliably with just a single GPU.

I’ll freely admit to skimming a bit but yes proxmox can run trunas inside of it. Proxmox is powerful but might be a little frustrating to learn at first. For example by default proxmox expects to use the boot drive for itself and it’s not immediately clear how to change that to use that disk for other things.

The noctua dh-15 is overkill for that cpu btw unless you’re doing an overclock which I wouldn’t recommend for server use. What’s your plans for the 1060? If using proxmox you’ll want to get one of the “G” series AMD CPUs do that proxmox binds to the apu and then you should be able to do gpu passthrough on the 1060.

I’ve been using Kagi for 3 months now I think? And I’ve found it to be extremely useful for research…to a point, my only real issue is that after the first or so series of results it either doesn’t offer anything further or just no longer is showing relevant results to my search. Honestly though I’ve been very happy with Kagi and continue to pay the 10/month but if I do find something even better I’d happily switch. I’m not married to any particular search engine (well …least not to the extent of using Google services).

If you’re skeptical just give it a try I think they have a trial system in place.

Half the battle with headphones tends to be isolation. If you have decent sounding speakers but bad isolation you have mediocre at best headphones. Typically replacing the ear cups can be an option but adding speakers likely won’t yield additional quality. Unfortunately if the speakers that already are in the headphones aren’t up to snuff there won’t be a whole lot you can do. It’s important to make sure we’re talking about the actual headphones though and not the audio amplifier or the source audio.

I’m 20 miles south of Sherman TX and while I didn’t see nearly as much snow/ice as they did I did get a lovely stealth ice that coated my neighborhood. Temps got to 7-8°f I was prepared and we were comfortable. Until today I hadn’t heard of any busted pipes but my office and some other people have been flooded by them now lol.

People panic bought on the weekend which was fun to watch.

3 cats with a litter robot 3 after 3 years. It’s great, easy to repair and parts are available. Save your money and buy a litter bot 3. The 4 has some improvements (it’s quieter) but has some new flaws and a pretty stiff price increase.

Also check out one man six cats on YouTube who has been doing a litter bot mega test of all kinds of brands/styles with his 7 (yes 7) cats.

Windows 10/11 I prefer the dock at the bottom. Got that muscle memory

Mac os I prefer the dock to the left and auto hidden…I really don’t use it that often and find it a waste of space

Linux just depends on which desktop UI I’m using or if I’m using one. I actually don’t mind the ones that default to the top of the screen but most of what I do is either in terminal or a full screen application so I don’t much care.

I have the regular arkfeld and it’s been a solid ass flashlight. I mean it is always ready, takes a beating, shrugs off water (even underwater) worth every penny. I kinda want to get the one with a UV light instead of the laser I currently have.

Absolutely no traffic + taking toll roads: about 30 minutes.

Normal traffic + avoiding a toll road 50 minutes

Traffic: 1 hr to 1.5 or if it’s really bad you just won’t get home… seriously.

I like the time I have to listen to music or kinda rant to myself, I see a lot of interesting stuff.

I hate my commute, give me work from home I am a fucking IT dude who does everything remotely anyways.

I drive 20-25k miles a year in an ev that can “only” go 80 miles. My daily round trip is 66 miles. (I level 1 charge at work if you’re curious)

It’s wild how many of my coworkers will tell me “just buy a closer house lol” yeah sorry I can barely afford to rent where I live 3 counties away.

Leaving before 6:55-7 will save you as much as 20 minutes. Leaving after 7 people are generally going 5-10mph under the highway limit as I suspect many just woke up lol.

Absolutely min things to swap Gonna need a battery of some kind 3 phase induction motor (probably) Motor speed controller Some sort of battery charger Big inverter for big motor An ecu-like thing to control everything Specifics about how to make this all work in a vehicle will depend wildly on which vehicle. Some basically can have these things bolted on, others require special assemblies to get the power to the wheels somehow.

An ev swap can be (relatively) cheap and simple or wildly expensive and difficult just depends on your goals.

Most of the parts I mentioned are available as off the shelf components and sometimes even as a swap kit.

Microsoft Activation Scripts

Yes you technically can. POE to Usb-c 5v adapters exist but they’re mostly intended for powering an SBC and in my experience they struggle with the current even an SBC can pull.

Highly recommend “it takes two”. Love being told I’m bad at relationships by a talking book…while playing with my fiance.

I do one of those “IT jobs that you do nothing until you do everything” it’s kinda wild and I have to remember not to completely fuck off and at least pretend to do something work related.

I say as I’m responding to this on company time.

I prefer mullvad but I had to stop using it on my personal devices due to it getting blocked on certain networks. For my server it’s perfectly fine. They don’t offer a way to do auto pay and buying credits can be a bit weird but that’s the only thing I’d say is a minor downside.

Mozilla vpn is actually mullvad but is also about twice the price.

Harley Davidson STILL can’t pass emissions without cheating.

Once upon a time internet explorer dominated the web. The web bowed and catered to the jank that was internet explorer…at least until other browsers gained traction. To this day there are some websites that are only designed with internet explorer in mind.
