Why is there a random watermark on an xkcd? The original is here, for anyone who wants the alt text: https://xkcd.com/2943/

Do you know what resolution that is? I can see that for 4k, maybe 1440p, but if that's happening for 1080p games have gotten a lot worse than I realized.

I ran a 1070ti for quite a while (8GB), and recently upgraded to a 6700xt (12GB?). Running 1080p 144hz, I pretty much only use that extra vram when I run local LLMs or Stable Diffusion.

More is better, but having 8GB for the "entry level" cards is fine IMO. Better than the 3/4 of the entry in the 1000 series nvidia cards.

I don't know, maybe it's just me having not followed AAA games graphical requirements super closely, but I feel like 8GB at $300 is a killer 1080p card these days?

Thanks for doing this! I’d like Bridge Constructor Portal if it’s still available.

No, that's Brita.

Better is the name of a commonly kept freshwater fish that's very territorial against other members of its species.

Being already established, you have a few advantages over the newbies. You know about how a few different instances federate and work, and you know whether or not you like your instance.

Recommend your instance. Or if you wouldn't, whether because it's niche or doesn't work well in general, recommend a generic instance, even if it is .world, because it will probably work and give a good experience.

Mixed environment, bunch of windows servers and a bunch of Linux servers. I currently run NixOS on my company owned Framework laptop, with the caveat that I have to deal with or work around any weirdness that comes up.

I've been wanting for a while now to fix up my config (weird sleep waking issues, broken hibernate, implement full disk encryption) or maybe switch to Fedora. Just haven't had the time.

Remmina is great for RDP, OnlyOffice preserves Microsoft office formatting well, KDE's network manager has working VPN connections for Cisco and Palo Alto, and I do a lot from the browser (email, O365 admin,etc).

There is friction, though. As mentioned the sleep issues. Never fun getting to a site and finding a hot, dead laptop in my bag because it decided to wake up and not go back to sleep.

For things that HAVE to be done in Windows I have a VM I haven't powered on in a months or two, and a "tech" server to rdp to with more network access.

I'd also like to get more familiar with Nix. I can handle system settings and packages from the Nix repositories, but packaging my own software is something I'd like to learn (software and printer drivers for Ubuntu/fedora, etc).

Yeah, shame on him for going out of his way to provide helpful information for people, as a direct response to someone who asked for it!

 

Happens every leap year on Groundhog Day, I suppose. Kinda neat.

Very true. Mostly just haven't had the time. Also want to set up a little home server to play around with Proxmox and move Jellyfin off my main PC.

Yeah, DNS blocking is quite effective for not just ads, but also telemetry on Roku.

Personally, I use nextdns until I can can a good pihole setup going.
